I went into my practicum earlier this week to find that the brochures my students had created had been put up in the front of the room around the board. That really made me feel that my lesson was worth it and very creative. My cooperating teacher said that he had gotten nothing but positive comments on the brochures! It really made me extremely happy. He even told me that he was using the lesson with his second group of students that do not come in during the time I am there. Today on Thursday, he showed me their results and they all turned out great. I am glad to have left a mark on the class and the teacher! haha
So I am ready for my 2nd lesson to teach, and Dr. Faulkner will be there to observe. The one thing that has me worked up is how well the students will behave, and if they will perform well. I am going to do a lesson on vocabulary and Russia. I am going to put the information on 4 posters, and have the students walk around in groups gathering their information. Then we will end up playing a game with the vocabulary words. I have no idea what to give as prizes, I was thinking pencils, bookmarks, and my cooperating teacher said he will have candy.
Any other suggestions??

Congratulations to you - that must make you feel great!
I would not stress out about Dr. Faulkner coming to observe, he's very familar with how middle school students behave and will not hold that against you!
Dr. Besnoy would probably have some great ideas for you to use in your lesson - he's a wealth of information!
