My mentor teacher isn't really being the most helpful. He's nice and everything, but he's twice failed to notify me about meetings I was supposed to go to with the other student teachers, and gives me suggestions for things to do with the class but otherwise I'm completely on my own. He doesn't have lesson plans I can model after. My classmates have gotten to look at or use some real lesson plans and have had some guidance from their teachers as to what to do, how to organize material, and what's an appropriate amount of time to spend on things when they make their own. Some people can figure that stuff out on their own, but I need more guidance.
I'm not supposed to be teaching many lessons in a row until at least next week. I'm allowed to do one, or parts of a few. I think today I should just tell my teacher up front that I don't feel ready to do another whole lesson on my own ... because I really don't :/

I have a copy of the students' textbook and a bunch of notes, exercises, and powerpoint slides from the school computer, but clearly it's not all of it, because after my FAILworksheet class, my teacher pulled out a different worksheet to use in the next period (which I wasn't teaching).
