I’m afraid to say that I feel like one of the worst teachers this week. For my monday session, I literally forgot to create a lesson plan. Now I know what you’re saying; this idiot doesn’t deserve to ever be placed in front of a class. You’re probably right.
My plan was to come up with a lesson plan on Sunday. I have been keeping up pretty well with my homework and editing etc., so there should have been no problem.
However, when I woke up Monday morning, it occurred to me that I had no idea what I was going to talk to my students about. Oops! Perhaps I got spoiled last semester because I didn’t have to teach until 1:00 p.m. Well let this be a lesson to you all to make lesson plans farther into the future.

Don’t be so hard on yourself, Fouts.
My advice for the future? Keep a few backup/reserve activites to keep them busy for the first 15 minutes of class or so. That should give you enough time to regroup and see where you’re at on the syllabus. One time I forgot my typed out outline in the office and had to do something similar. The results were not ideal, but better than nothing.
