Dr. Margaret Lieb

Dr. Margaret Lieb is a scholar from Japan who is visiting Eastern Washington University during the first week of October. She teaches English to students in Japan who their first language is not English. She wrote an article called, "Culture Distance and Cultural Dimensions in Diverse ELT Environments: A Quantitative Investigation" in which she writes about the cultural differences for learning the English language and what is entails. She writes also about how teaching English in Japan enhances their education and skills in which why it is being offered for kids in schools. It is studied in her research that teaching English as a second language is enhancing education and relationships because it is something that is wanted to be learned about. It is interesting to read about because there are many languages in this world but in their culture English is valued and taught.

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...

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.

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...
