Summer Of Riley Book Report

The approach to the reading of the novel would be varied. It is anticipated that the class study would begin with a shared reading of the opening chapter to foster students' interest. A prepared reading by the teacher is usually much more involving than a hesitant reading-around-the-class activity (Sykes, n.d.). The aim is to motivate each student to read the

She then made them shut off all their computers and pull out a pencil and paper. She flashed some problems up on the overhead that correlated to that day’s lesson and made them solve accordingly. Although this is what I was used to seeing as compared to taking the quizzes online, I soon learned that taking the quizzes online were way for efficient and less of a hassle. Following their quiz, I was granted the job of grading all sixty quizzes. This made me realize how beneficial it was for Mrs. Kamla to have her students take their quizzes online because the computer automatically grades their work for them and shows them the question they missed and it also revealed the correct answer. When you have to grade them manually you have to count up all the problems the student missed and then you have to go back and record the grade in the gradebook.

The fresh faces of the 2016-2017 sophomore AP English class looked up at Mrs. Belles, some expectantly, some apprehensively. Among those faces is Francine Lamasko, a girl of 15 years of age, newly refreshed from summer and carrying her completed summer work. Decidedly, she thinks to herself, this will be a meaningful year of learning, of growth, and of fun. She is ready.

Much like other employees in varying fields, teachers will do anything within their power to keep their jobs. This is a part of human nature. Since the beginning of time employees try to please their bosses so they can keep their job or get a raise. Departments will give A’s to the students who usually would not deserve it just so that they can continue to keep that course in following semester. A large percentage of college courses are taught by part time teachers. Often students and sometimes even will demand that the grade be raised or otherwise they will complain to an administrator or a dean. These teachers will have to cater to the students demands out of fear of losing their jobs. Nowadays, students feel entitled to an A just because they pay an incredible amount of money for tuition. Teachers also have to listen to the administrators who tell the teachers to bump up grades so their department looks like it is doing better than it really

The class began with a silent reading assignment from the next section in the text. While students read, the teacher individually checked in with each student to provide feedback on the previous nights homework. The homework assignment was to summarized the reading from the previous day in their own words. The teacher provided both positive and constructive feedback to all students, pointing out at least one successful aspect of their summary. This activity is very much in line with was the strategy of upgrading your interactive language discussed by Eric Jensen, “during every sing interaction with your students, make eye contact and affirm the good in them” (Jenson, 2013, p.25). If a student was missing an integral part of the story she would prompt them by recalling what was discussed before and provide textual evidence if necessary, and allow them to add to their response. She was very upbeat and supportive of the students, and her tone and language were both accessible and age appropriate. When giving instructions she used

Event #1: In the beginning of the book, Scout goes to school for the first time and despises it. She meets her first-grade teacher, Miss Caroline

During the month of May, 2017, my Language Arts class was assigned a book project. Everyone received a book and worksheets that went along with the book, which helped us understand the meanings and ideas in the book. That year we read The Great Gatsby. The teacher would

During this semester I was lucky to be placed at Mink Shoals in a fifth grade class. I taught a total of five lessons. For my assessment chart I choose to show the progress that my students made on the math lesson. They took a pre-test and a post test. I knew that math was a good subject for about half of the class, and half of the class struggled. I knew this was going to be difficult to teach. Before I taught my lesson I did a lot of planning, but before I planned I worked with students every day in a math group. These math groups showed me what the students understood and did not understand. When I planned my lesson I talked to my cooperating teacher to see what I should go over if I wanted to help prepare them for the smaterbalance. After we talked, I decided to look up standards, and practice math tests to see what I should review for the test. After looking everything over

I wish you and your family is having a wonderful spring break. I realize this break will be very useful for you since you’ve been sick for quite a while. I have a book you might want to check out and read if you haven’t done so already. The book is titled Shooter, written by Caroline Pignat, which is a mystery novel. My reading goal this term is to bypass Sci-fi books, which I typically love to read, and try something new. I explained, to Ms. Verma, the types of books I like prefer to read and my reading goal this term and asked if she has any recommendations. She introduced me to the Reading Riot which has the crowd-pleasing books and all Richmond school libraries have several copies of these titles. She recommended this book and said this is fast paced, which made me want to read it because the books I've read in the past took a while to introduce the characters and the objective. The quote on the

I would facilitate this activity in a guided reading style where I read the book to the class, but stop frequently to discuss new vocabulary, context clues, and to ask deep order thinking questions about the text. The guided reading would happen one day before our field trip to the theatre. At the theatre, we would watch a wonderful performance about Harriet Tubman and the Underground Railroad. The next day in class, we would debrief the play by taking about similarities and differences between what we learned from the play and what we learned from our guided reading book. During this discussion, I would encourage my third or fourth grade students to take notes, so that they have helpful information to use when they are writing their letters to their family

The English department does a wonderful job of finding texts that keep the students interested in what they read, but challenges them with new vocabulary and terms they would not normally use. These topics are also at different lengths that target specific skills that all students need and at different levels so that students with different developmental levels can improve. The English department also works with our school’s library to find some of the newest books that the students will enjoy and do their best to bring those books in. The school’s librarian and one of our freshman English teachers have started a “Book Club” on campus so that students could read some of the newest books and be able to talk about them in an educational setting. Many students are a part of this new club and some of them have stated that this club has really helped them improve their overall reading and summarization skills.

I like the fact that when she asked the question about what happened to her sweater, her students immediately raised their hands. They were all into the story. They wanted to know more about the story. She taught her lesson very well. After telling her story and giving clues that defines main idea, she asked her class what they think main idea means. I think that it is a brilliant way to make your students think and connect. Her students were able to use context clues, and they were able to come up with their own definition of main idea. I noticed that Ms. Bannon used a projector to project the pages of the book so that her students can read along. It is a good way of getting student involved. It also allows for students to practice reading, while Ms. Bannon’s reading out loud. After that, she made her students communicate with one another. It is important to let students communicate with one another. Students interacting with one another is a positive learning technique because they can learn from one another. Also, that way Ms. Bannon is not the only one doing the talking, and that way there wouldn’t be so many teacher to student

We all know the feeling when you pick up a book and can’t put it down. Sometimes that’s not the case with summer reading books. Your assigned with a book or two that you have to read and do a report on. Sometimes you love it, sometimes you don’t. If you love it great, you can easily finish it and do a book report on it. But what if you don’t like it? Well either way you still have to read it. But if you don’t like it it’s a dread to go on. If you don’t like it you won’t pay attention as much and might get lost and can’t follow the story. Once you start your book report you have no idea what you're talking about. Than what happens? You get a bad grade. About 78% of people don’t do well on a book

I was happy. The school year was over. I no longer have to deal with teachers, annoying kids, tests, homework, and nasty lunches. I felt the cool breeze of the air conditioners against my skin when I walked into the Firestone Park Library, holding the list of summer books I needed to read for the summer. For some reason, my school wanted the students to read a total of 10 books during the summer. I didn’t have a problem with reading during the summer because I already read half of them during the school year; plus, I love to read books. Ever since I read The Princess Diaries book series in the 7th grade, I always had a book with me. Reading always calmed me after a stressful day. Nothing could stop me from finishing a book.
