In going over our podcast assignment, we discussed the importance of having a script and not winging it. This keeps coming up in my classes and as much as I detest scripts (I'm an outline kind of person), I think I have gained some new thinking in that scripting is an essential step in the teaching process. Dr. Barske insists it is critical, especially for language teachers, so that the class stays on track and so that you ensure you have covered the content and other aspects of a lesson that relate to the standards and your curriculum. Dr. Boyer emphasized the efficiency that scripting provides. By scripting, you know what you're going to say and when you're going to say it; this helps to eliminate the nuances and redundancies of spoken language.
Therefore, as a teacher, I realize that scripting isn't just an annoyance of preparation for a class, it's a valuable tool that I will use in my class for efficiency and clarity.
