Westmount High School
I completed both my second and third field experiences at Westmount High School. I developed a strong working relationship with my Cooperating Teacher during my first one in May of 2011, and decided to extend my time with her for my third field experience, from August to December of 2011.
At Westmount I taught four English classes: two in Secondary Four and two in Secondary Five. Within those groups, I taught two Advanced Placement classes. Westmount High School is one of the only schools in Montreal that offers AP courses to their students.

Some of the novels that I taught during my second and third field experiences included To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and Lord of the Flies by William Golding. One of the assignments that accompanied the To Kill a Mockingbird unit was a mock trial assignment, as well as a lesson on the Jim Crowe Laws that helped give the students some historical context for the novel.
I developed strong bonds with all of my students, as well as the rest of the faculty, and both of my placements at Westmount were hugely successful. I improved both my teaching skills, as well as my classroom management skills.
