The introduction to this chapter was an enjoyable read. When reading the introduction, the reader can visualize everything that is happening in their head. The introduction passage is a story of a teacher, Mrs. Firpo, and how she goes about teaching a phonics lesson. There are even examples that the reader can follow along with throughout the introduction as if they were in the actual class watching Mrs. Firpo teach the lesson.

Chapter twelve is about being in a class discussion. When a classmate speaks after you however makes no connection to what you just stated. How sometimes it seems everyone in the discussion is only concerned with their view point and not actually discussion with anyone else viewpoint. I support this example because I’ve seen it firsthand. The first tip the book uses to avoid that problem is ‘frame your comments as a response to something that has already been said’.
Good Enough to Eat tells a lot about Mel's life changing because of food. She used to be the size of two of her current self. "At about 275 pounds herself, she was my partner in crime, quick with a midday candy bar or cookie, the first to suggest an order of onion rings to accompany after-work martinis"(Ballis 17). These two were once really close friends; both were large women. Losing weight is a journey in itself. Adding in her ex husband, he actually liked the fat girl she used to be. We know this because he cheats on Mel with Charlene, her former friend who is also coincidentally

This letter is meant to be a way for you to get to know me on a deeper level. You are probably using this letter not only to get to know the lives of the students you are teaching, but also to learn about the writing behaviors of your students. So for this purpose I will try to keep my letter short and interesting in order to not mess up. Before we begin I have a quick disclaimer, I am very sarcastic in everyday life so that does show in my informal writing. I am usually professional for most major papers, but for this paper you will probably see my sarcasm. Now that we have gotten that out of the way let’s start this letter.
An emotional driven novel The Help by Kathryn Stockett is an important piece of literature. It gives the audience a glimpse of the segregation issue back in the 60’s. It also gives a voice to the colored maids of Jackson, Mississippi which was something they never got. The novel is written in a way based on three major characters’ perspective on racial segregation. Miss Skeeter is a white writer who is determined to use her talent to make a difference.
In chapter 12, Your First Classroom, I learned many things that affect me as an educator. In this chapter I learned many ways to prepare me to be the best teacher I can in my first classroom. It is important to be mature while being a teacher. As part of having a teaching role you must help adolescents gain a picture of what it is like to operate in a mature fashion. To perform this function the teacher needs to be a person who is in control of his/hers emotions, must be able to accept and live with difference, must see oneself in a “relating to” rather than a controlling role, must focus attention on how to help the other person grow rather than on how to win an advantage, must judge the immediate situation in terms of long-range goals, must make actions controlled by the values to which one gives allegiance and must seek constantly to increase maturity. This affects me as an educator because it shows me that maturity places a huge role in a teacher.

I chose to attend his lecture because it was about public school education and what is wrong with it. Going in to the lecture I thought it was going to be a speaker discussing every aspect of what is wrong with our education system. The lecture turned out to be better than I expected because he did not just talk about what was wrong. He provided statistics to show that public schools scores are not as good as private schools because private schools keep out the students they do not want from their schools. These are people who do not have money and no disabilities. Their test scores are better because they have an unfair advantage. I would definitely go to another lecture because they give you new ways of looking at topics you know about, yet
Article one, teachers give their account on their teaching experiences with phonics and how they incorporated a culturally relevant curriculum. A third grade teacher who taught history was teaching the basic information about different cultures than the actual culture from their perspectives. Another teacher taught more on inferential teaching, relating what we know and experienced in our own life. One of the teachers taught phonics by making a personal alphabet book with the help of the parents using letters that the child was familiar with or liked. The personalized picture book was similar but the student used different types of material to make their book. The book represented and depicted who they are as a student. Last lesson was the morning circle where students were able to use their native language to greet others and talk about themselves.
Young adult liturature was a fun and productive class. I learned how there are many different sub-genres in just one genre. For example, fiction has: realistic fiction, historical fiction, and many more. I’ve also been introduced to a few amazing writers like: Kiera Cass, Kasie West, and Harlan Coben. Now there are many more books, all the sequels, I need to read.
“Rinda, please read the next paragraph for us,” stated Mrs. Wright. Feeling my ears and face turn stop sign red with the sense of the walls closing in, I began to sweat. “Ppp, puh, puh,” I stuttered. Mrs. Wright sternly announces, “Photograph.” In my monotone voice, I repeated her and continued on with the rest of the paragraph, which bared less challenging words for a second grader. She then asked me what I thought about the paragraph after I finished reading it. I told her and the whole class, I don’t know. I could hear snickering all around me, and did the only thing left for me to do. I sank deep into my chair, praying for her to move on. She proceeded to explain the context of the paragraph to the class, before she selected
