Good Morning Everyone,
I think most of us are getting ready to attend the Praxis PLT prep at the Sheraton today. Today was a very busy week in our ED641 world. We had to turn in our literacy autobiography and our literature circle reflections (the deadline was extended for this). The literature circle reflection was a difficult task because we had to dissect how well we participated in the circles. I think that this was intended to really make us focus on how useful the literature circles can be as an activity for our own classrooms. For those of you that may be having difficulties understanding what we are required to do for this assignment, I always refer back to the syllabus. It contains the rubrics for each assignment. As far as the reader response activities, I liked the "Poem in Two Voices" and the "Character Journal" activities. Doing the activities myself provides insight on what my students will be experiencing. Some of my classmates and I got together to do the "Webbing" exercise.
On another note. It's a HUGE relief to know that we can use some of our MAT program assignments for our INTASC requirements in Livetext!
PJ,
ReplyDeleteYou and your classmates certainly engaged in various literacy activities. I'm glad that you can now add additional strategies/activities to your treasure bag of teaching tips, particularly in the field of literacy! Keep up the great work!
Best regards,
Dr. Rivera
PJ,
ReplyDeleteYes, it is great to know that we can use many of our assignments and subit them to our Livetext Portfolio's. It takes a load off many of our shoulders.
PJ,
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! I am still somewhat confused on the assignment but I will definitely be looking forward to asking you for help. If you have time, check my post on how I feel things have been going. We have been extremely busy and I do feel like we are learning a lot of new things that will certainly benefit us when we start teaching in the fall. Good thoughts, I enjoyed reading your blog!
