Personal Narrative: And Then Came Middle School

This personal narrative is based on my first day of middle school. On my first day of middle school I woke up with feeling nervous not knowing why I felt this feeling, maybe it was from the fact that I didn’t know the teachers or the schedule, I got dressed ate breakfast and slowly packed up my stuff. I than ended up at the school still feeling nervous, as I waited hoping that the day would be over already, the bell suddenly rang ai then knew that I had to see what the next three years of my life

multi-paragraph personal narrative. I took a piece paper out of my binder and wrote “Writing Showcase” on my piece of paper. At first, I was lost and without ideas.

I observed North Middle School for my second set of observations. Through observing middle school, I saw various techniques of classroom management, some of which I had never thought of when thinking about teaching. I witnessed some techniques that were incredible and very effective, while also witnessing techniques that did not seem to control the classroom.
