Final Post

I learned a lot in this class. Reading can be fun if we all use our imagination, a number of strategies and the appropriate literature. I also realized that we all mostly pay interest to what we like to read or do, so I will be careful when I am in class to have my student select their own reading so they will feel more responsible to do the task on their own and make progress. some of the reading strategies used in class such as brainstorming and the higher order thinking have been helping me to develop my critical thinking. The worksheet to outline our unit and the calendar made easier for me to plan my lessons. What comforts me is that I tried to do my best.
I wish we could have had more time to review new reading strategies that we all can apply in the classroom. I wish i could have had more time to read the other two books, but I think i will read it during the summer. I am sorry we did not get to use much of the book. It was probably timing. I was thinking if you can give us some good references to look up and use in our future classrooms. Reading is important. I think we just need to combine interest and appropriate material.


Thank you.
