JA session four

Todays was the fourth session of JA. I learned that I am managing my time better because we are having enough time to participate in class discussions, group activity, and allow time for a summary at the end. The studetns are particpating in discussions with more interest and share good ideas; although there are a few that still spend the time finishing up homework assignments. I also used the dry-erase board more often and have gotten more confidetn in using it. In last session we talked about credit options and some disadvantages to using credit. It seemed like the students already had a preconceived view of it especially from what they interpret from their families. Today we talked about identity theft. We talked about how to identify it and how to avoid it and they mostly seemed atuned to the conversations value. Everyone participated in the activity and really understood the concepts. One of the things i still need to work on is using my presence and my voice to make things understaandable to the studetns. THis is important because just because i undersand it doesnt mean they can grasp its importance just as easily. Next week were are talking about insurance which a boring topic on its own, so im brainstorming ways to talk about it in ways that make sense and keep their attention.
