Learning Letter

Although I am nervous and talk fast when it comes to presentations, I have a lot to say but it seems to come out in jibberish which I hope to work on. I loved every single project we had in this class because it was aimed towards our future and what we want to do so it was worth coming and learning, doing the projects and listening to what other people had to say as well because learning all of what other future teachers think are good methods, is definitely worth a listen to. Theories and concepts we talked about were fun, I like them because we talked about what is serious about teaching and I feel as if a lot came from common core which is what we will be going off of for teaching in the future so everything was helpful in order to understand common core and how as future teachers we can tie it in to teaching and what we need to do with teaching it. The participation in class was essentially everything. Paying attention to what is going on, peoples ideas, thoughts, concepts, tea...

Literacy Presentation

Literacy Presentation “Effective Literacy Coaching” Shari Frost, Roberta Buhle, Camille Blachowicz Why I chose this text? I chose this text because in every section there is a check mark next to whether or not the lesson plan is appropriate for elementary and or middle school/high school or appropriate for both. There is also ways that each one can be implemented in a classroom for each lesson, along with goals and reflections for you to look back on what to reflect on with the lesson and with the students, how things went overall, there are also worksheets which just gives a lot of help for the classroom as a whole. How would I implement this? I would implement this in to my class by using what would be middle school/high school appropriate and maybe even some that might be middle/high and elementary appropriate. There are some good examples of ones I like specifically that I would implement. (Page 136) (Page 139) (Page 151) Are a few examples of each one I like and en...

Literature and Reading

Literature and reading is such an important part to comprehension and language arts in a classroom. In the NES text it is seen that there is stuff like content clues, grammar, comprehension of books, is all really important. There is the general idea that understanding what you are reading is so crucial and understanding what you are reading and what is in front of you. As a future teacher, making sure your students are understanding what you are trying to say is the whole idea. Accommodating to them but at the same time making sure that the common core state standards are implemented in your lesson plans but still using techniques to help them would be not only the hardest part of being a teacher but being able to accommodate to your students and meet all the standards of reading and writing is the whole concept of teaching and making sure everything is comprehensible through you as the teacher which is in the NES text and how that refers to a classroom and teaching in general.

CCSS: Literature and Reading

The different ways that the common core state standards include literature and reading in the standards are incorporated the NES textbook through different ideas. Some of the ideas include applying and understanding various organizational structures used in critical or analytical writing and being able to understand what you are reading to know what you are putting down. The demonstration of knowledge written down in analysis show that students know what they are actually doing and putting on paper through their thoughts. It is also crucial to know how to include and interpret characters, themes, and points of views in various literacy works. One of the most important aspects of writing in high school is writing about books students read and what they learn from it. The common core interprets this in a good way to show that students need to know what they are reading before they put stuff down on paper.

Visual Literacy - "Super Graphic" Presentation Information

Reason I chose this text: The reason I chose this text was because it was visual with good examples of how to look at and interpret comic books. This is something that I found intriguing because it is a very visual book and is filled with information that can be taught. Challenges with this text and what to do about it: Challenges with this text may be that not everybody may be in to learning about comic books and not everyone may want to learn about them. A way to make this interesting is to include the information that I did in my hand out which contains colors, shapes and sizes to be able to understand how to read the comic and have a little more knowledge behind it which consists of the ideas that make it easier to read a comic book even if it's not interesting, there are more things to learn than what the text is reading, there is behind the scenes work which makes it interesting. Ways to interpret this in teaching: Ways I would love to interpret this in teaching is ...

English Language Arts Standards

The Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts is a long list of duties. They are divided in to sub-content areas of writing: text types, responding to reading, and research. As well as, reading: text complexity and the growth of comprehension. Speaking and listening: flexible communication and collaboration, and very last, language: conventions, effective use, and vocabulary. All of these all fall under the common core state standards in which are linked together for the English standards. As future teachers it is important to understand what common core is and what is directly linked to what children need to be taught in what state. To be able to have kids meet that goal and even possibly go above and beyond the common core is the goal of a teacher to help kids reach. To be a future teacher is to be able to understand how to teach common core and what it consists of overall. There are various different ways to teach all of these different common core standards which gives ...

Oral and Visual Communication

Communication is something that is gone through and used every day. As humans, communication is key to getting around in the world. We speak when we want something, when we need something and when we try to get a point across. As humans, communication is natural. In the teaching world, it is essential to communicate ideas that are necessary to get by in the school. As stated in the test, "oral speech can be difficult to follow" (130). Which is why us as future teachers need to make what we are saying clear and actively engaging. Group discussions are a way to not only get kids actively listening, but it gets them actively involved. While maintaining posture, movement, gestures, eye contact and voice, there is a good start for teachers to make students want to be actively involved and listening.
