Class Reflection

Since English is my content area, I wasn't baffled as to why I had to take this class. Literacy IS English. Probably the most valuable thing I am taking away from this class is the textbook, because that one section with all the different ideas for lesson plans and literacy is going to be really helpful throughout my teaching career. I already have been using KWL's left and right (not really... but this class was the first time I was introduced to them and I think it's a great idea to start any unit... I'm using it for my Methods class unit plan.) Most of the strategies the book presented seem really useful for the classroom and I will definitely use them as a reliable resource. Other than that, this class was all right--I'm glad we had the opportunity to work with other people on the inquiry unit plan; I worked with two other people and I feel like we each complimented each other's ideas and brought something unique to the unit. The book group project was interesting, too.
