OAWP- Monday

I love this class because I have learned more about teaching writing through the readings and the information presented in the last two days than I have learned through any teacher training or any other experience. One thing I might have some trouble with is my journaling. I start out with reflections and connections, etc. but I seem to end up with summarizing the text.

Well we love to hear this!! That is our plan you know. Making this worth every minute of the time you gave up this summer.

I love this class too! I am excited about the different views that everyone have! There is so much to learn and I love to learn and try new things in my classroom!

I know what you're talking about. I find it helps to comment on what you agree or disagree with in the text and comment on how it could or could not be used in you own classroom.

I agree about how much I have learned already and we have only just begun! My head is spinning with ideas with what I want to try this year.

I know how you feel. When I first started responding to Cion I was just retelling the story. It took a while to begin thinking about it as a bridge to my own thoughts about the Appalachian poor and connecting it to what I'd been reading in Ruby Payne.

And, I've learned more already than I thought I'd get all summer.
