 Before finishing my student teaching experience I took over as a long term sub in the building
(L’Anse Creuse North High School) that I was assigned to. This was a full time subbing position in
the History department (teaching U.S. History) from late March until May 7th. This subbing
experience led to myself having to make my own syllabus, website (pardihistory.weebly.com), seating
charts, and lesson plans. This positive experience earned me another long term substitute position in
the same building, starting from when I finish the first assignment, continuing until the end of the year
in the English department, teaching English 9.
