JA update

Today was my first in-class session for JA! I learned a lot from this dirst day. The most important hing I learned is that preperation and hard work goes a long way in this profession. When I got there I had al the supplies I needed, even extra pens and markers. The thing I did forget was the booklet explaining exatly what the sessions are al about and how to conduct them. I also forgot my notes, so without these things i would have been lost except i spent the last few days studying the different facets of the materials and the economic content. So when i was stuck in this position I had to talk for about ten minutes about what I was supposed to talk about anyway only i did it without my notes or the booklet. At the same time i managed to keep the students attentive through some studetns active participation. I could not have done this without the preperation i put into the session that was planned for today.
The book i read for the book review is called The Invisible Heart. I think i would definitly recommend it to economics teachers becasue the arguments that the main character creates for defending economics and his core economic ideals is admirable in interesting.
Hope its going well for every one else.
