What is your Storyline student’s name and their characteristics? My character’s name is Katy James. She is 15 years old and a ninth grader. Katy’s family is a middle-class German immigrant family, and she is the youngest of three children. Her parents both immigrated to the United States when they were children, so they are a bilingual family. Katy loves to talk about her German heritage, but she must have a good relationship with her teachers and peers before she will share her heritage. In terms of school, Katy enjoys school, especially in classes that she can be creative. Her favorite subject in school is Art. She likes to build sculptures, draw, and paint. In addition, Katy is visually impaired (has low vision), which has made her an auditory learner. Because of her low vision, she likes to be placed at the front of the classroom, and she likes modifications to be made so she can listen instead of read. …show more content…

For this semester of TCH 209 I am working with a second grade girl named Yainany. After taking a few running records I found out that she is at a level H reading level which would be the equivalent of a high first grade reader. To get to know my student I printed out a reading survey and a get to know you worksheet. The reading survey was asking questions about what genres of books she likes, what are some of her favorite things (books, tv shows, animals, sports, characters, jobs, activities), if reading is fun for her, if reading is easy for her, if she reads at home, and how she likes to read. The get to know you worksheet had her color her own person based on some of her favorite things like her favorite color, if she likes to read, her favorite subject, the color of her eyes, and how many siblings she has. These helped me get to know her as a reader and as a person by knowing how she reads and what interests her.

I vividly remember in my sixth grade reading class, my teacher – Mrs. Mysock – was sitting next to me, at a table in the corner of the classroom, circling every word I would pronounce incorrectly and the stopwatch was right next to her and the time seemed to increase exponentially. I knew I wasn’t good at reading, or English altogether for that matter, I didn’t need my teacher or the state to remind me. After finishing that assessment, I knew she was shocked that I struggled on it, however she didn’t change her view of me, instead she navigated me to her classroom library and we had a discussion over books I had enjoyed to read in the past. She ended up recommending that I read Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli – I reluctantly agreed. It felt like all the other sixth grade girls had already read this book, so I figured it had to be decent. Based off of the title I had 3 main ideas about what the book could be about: a Hollywood actress or star, the local popular girl who everyone loved, or a nerdy girl who had an obsession with astronomy. Well, I was completely wrong. Stargirl ended up being about a teenage girl who didn’t care what other people thought about her. At one point in the story she tried to conform to the society normal to impress a guy, but she couldn’t handle in, she went back to being
