I am having my observation next week and I have no idea what to do it on. Please help!!!

Are you thinking about a particular subject area? Do you know when you will be observed? All of our observations are unannounced so we could be in the middle of teaching anything.

Well, I am stronger in the Language Arts area but it has to last for a half hour. Not sure what I can have them do.

Have you considered a writing workshop lesson?

Read a book
Mini lesson on skill in book
Students begin to write their own story/ or activity using skill
Conference with students

This gives you an opportunity to use various instructoinal strategies.
