Event Blog: Black History Month Tallent Show

At the Black History Month tallent show, there were a number of effective speakers and performers. I noticed that the most effective ones were clearly prepared. The MC of the tallent show clearly had a script prepared, which helped keep everything moving smoothly. The tallent show also had a wide variety of acts, displaying the diversity and different cultures present at Luther. It was an effective production, because it incorporated a variety of acts, was clearly organized, and had smooth transitions.

The content of the tallent show can be applied to my futre career as a teacher. Planning and preparation is extremely important in the classroom. While there is such a thing as having too much structure, a teacher should never enter a class period without some sort of a lesson plan. In addition to a basic lesson plan, teachers should be flexible and have a backup plan if a lesson doesn't go as planned. Just as the talent show had a variety of acts, so to should the classroom be fully diversified. Teachers should incorporate a number of teaching styles and subjects into their lessons. Lastly, the importance of performance can also be incorporated into the classroom. Being able to work with other people to effectively present or perform in front of an audience is very important to learn and can be used in everyday life. The content of the tallent show clearly connects to everyday life of a teacher.
