I am confident that we all are done with our drafts to the unit plan, although we might make minor adjustments, the draft looks great. Good job Cohort III. I have started on my Transactional Theory of Reading paper and from my reading and understanding, I think I am more of an aesthetic reader. I love to read for pleasure, therefore I get into the characters and the mood of the stories. It takes me to another place and time, even if just for a little while, I welcome the change of scenery.
I hope to encourage aesthetic reading in my class, therefore the students can see different prospectives from themselves and their fellow classmates. It can also be used as a personal assessment tool, which can be used to learn more about the students in your class and where and how they perceive different issues that they read about.
In this course, educators will learn how to support the needs of adolescent and young adults, helping them develop into confident, and independent readers and writers. Focus will be on the improvement of literacy skills through meaningful, constructive engagements in reading and writing.
Shirleen,
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear that you're an aesthetic reader. I encourage you to promote aesthetic reading in your classroom. Authentic reading brings forth a wealth of motivated readers. Good luck!
Best regards,

I think we did great as a Cohort on our Interdisciplinary Unit and after looking at the rough draft, I immediately fixed my section. You guys all did a great job.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your cohort is getting everything together. I hope we can say the same thing! :)
