In Task #4 (Children’s Literature for Reading Instruction), an ah-ha learning moment for me was finding out that “…books can be used to plan the Thematic Approach and incorporate math, science and social studies when they can.” I learned this after completing my After Project assignment on Friday and then found the reiteration of it in the WebQuest just made my weekend. I have to tell you that I was so nervous about completing this week’s After project assignment, because there was no quiz option. I wasn’t sure whether or not I would be able to successfully complete one of the After Project assignments, because I work two jobs and do not sub on a weekly basis. I was able to sub on Friday and complete the Reader’s Theater project with a

    Literacy In Literature

    “People don 't realize how a man 's whole life can be changed by one book” (Malcolm X). Books are beneficial in an individual’s vocabulary, memorization, and perspectives in life. In “On Being 17, Bright, and Unable to Read” by David Raymond, Hunger of Memory by Richard Rodriguez, and “My Alma Mater” from The Autobiography of Malcolm X by Malcolm X, all the authors struggled with something particular in literacy, but they all had different motives for improving their reading and writing. As seen in the three articles, each author had their own purpose in why literacy can be a good advantage and figured out different strategies to help ameliorate themselves. If you have obstacles which prevent you from reading or writing effectively, finding…

    Children Need To Play Not Compete, By Jessica Statsky

    In the essay “Children Need to Play, not Compete”, Jessica Statsky writes about the importance of children being able to have fun playing a sport without the pressure of winning or losing (152-157). Playing sports can be a huge part of a child’s life, but parents and coaches need to remember that sports are here to keep a child busy and active. Children use sports to make friends not compete with each other to see who is better. When sport oriented parents and over controlling coaches try to have kids play at a professional level this causes children to lose interest (152, par. 1). With this being said the parents and coaches need to realize how they are taking the game to an unsafe and unsportsmanlike level.…

    In real life, a distinguishing physical attribute such as a scar or mark can reveal an aspect of the bearer’s history. A crooked nose recounts the time when a throw went astray in little league. A veteran with a missing limb lets his or her injury speak for itself about the brutality of war and the sacrifice soldiers make for their country. A blotch of old frostbite brings back memories of long winter adventures. Markings can tell stories without even using words.…

    Throughout my entire school career, I have been frustrated at my math classes, but it wasn’t that they were going too fast; it was that they were going too slow. Every opportunity to move ahead I was given, I used. When I was given the chance to move up from Algebra II to pre-calculus, I studied for hours every day up until the day of the test came. “Beep!

    Writings In Kid's Stuff, By Michael Chabon

    In “Kid’s Stuff” by Michael Chabon, the author is trying to explain to the audience how the writing of comics must be changed in order to appeal to modern day children. Originally, the goal of a comic book writer was to appeal to adults and to get readers to think of comics as a legitimate source of literature instead of something that kids read to pass the time. In the process of doing so, kids stopped reading comics as much. While some adults picked comics up, the sales numbers went down over time. When examining the question of how to make comics popular again, to the author, the answer lies in once again making comics for kids.…
