The Lens of Reader Response: the promise and Peril of Response-Based Pedagogy
Reader-centered approach emphasizes the individual responses. There can be no denying the power and purpose of a reader-centered approach to literature and the degree to which it has positively informed our practice. (Appleman, 2014 pg.30) It’s like when we read a literary text, but we include a collaboration with everything I meant the writer, text and reader to get evidence of the soundness of the reader-centered approach. Reader-centered approach is like a relationship. I say this because is a good example, you as a reader are interacting with the text and the text acts on the reader based on our experiences or feelings. As every relationship

The way we read is a choice and we can interpret the text in the way we are reading or thinking. The interpretation of a text depends on active, conscious decision on the part of the reader. All the lens have limitations and we need to make a clear view. Describe your own responses to the text, using evidence and explanation to support. This activity help a reader-response to do a text reflect the experience, beliefs and understanding. All the readers have their own perceptions that the results are valuable. If we are going to use this activity with our future students we need to move/read the text with them carefully and describing the response of an informed reader at their view point. They can make a paragraph to express their thoughts about the reading and response the other classmates’ …show more content…
To set myself up for success by learning everything there to know the school/district policies and to set up on the paper to try to organize in the classroom. Then introduce the key concepts, topic and main idea to get the students on the right track like I wrote the lesson on the paperboard. We need to pull students into the learnings. For example, asking questions with some wood sticks. Get students’ attention with items like funny lesson or challenge them. Also, we need to explain the lesson, the concepts, skills and the purpose of it. Go to the libraries and find the books and to find the correct handouts to them. To me was a unique experience, because I worked in the district as an assistant and be on the front in the classroom with students was totally different. I think with more practice the lesson plans should be easier. Link the lesson phases and information together. Summarize the learning of the day, and discuss how it fits into the big vision for learning. Have students demonstrated what they learn in their journals or the worksheets what I

    Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor can be helpful and eye-opening, but there are also some outlandish ideas within. Each chapter holds a different point as well as a different amount of contribution to broadening analyzation skills. In each, a reader and student must evaluate and put to test his theories for every book that is read. Each point will be helpful pertaining to a certain book, and not helpful regarding another. It is important to remember that the statements he makes are good to keep in mind, but not to be used always as they are not always the correct…

    Appreciating and Embracing our Unique Identities For me, I had always thought that literature was used as a scapegoat mechanism to escape reality, even if it was for a short period of time. Although I do not read as much before, I believe literary works allow us to analyze the deeper implicit meaning behind the ideas being presented by society. Before this course, I had failed to realize the impact to which a novel impacts the way I identify myself and appreciate my unique personality. This analysis helped me realize that not all forms of literature are true to reality. As a result, I believe that reading literature teaches us to appreciate and embrace our own identities to some extent.…

    Thomas Foster, an English professor, desired to write a book that delivered explanations for what the professor thinks when he or she reads versus that which a student brings to mind in regards to connections made when reading a work of literature. From this desire Foster wrote “How to Read Like A Professor.” In each chapter, Foster describes specific tools and strategies authors have used in the past and continue to put into practice. These strategies are employed by writers as a means to connect to the mind of a reader to a deeper thought or idea related to the context. These hidden messages, according to Foster, are instinctively palpable to the Professor’s eye; but to the eye of one who has not dedicated their life to the study of literature,…

    In the short story written by John Updike “Outage” one can see through the eyes of a few strategy texneks. Such as the Readers-Response, which looks at how a reader reacts to a written work throughout a reading. Another exilant strategy would be the Biographical strategy; in this strategy a reader doesn’t merely look at the written work but also takes into consideration the person who wrote the given work. Someone choosing to use the readers-response on the work “Outage” (or any work) might read the story with many personal biases based off how they understand the given scenario or dialogue. Social class, life style, education, religion, and many other factors would also come into play for each individual audience member.…

    Before actually watching the video “Responding to Literature, “In writing this paper, I thought this was a good quote from the narrator as he said, “I see my role in two ways. One is as a reader, and second responding just like the kids while having a watchful ear on how their reading and thinking are going and how they are growing through the story and learning. [While] I'm helping kids make connections, at the same time I want to be involved in that reading and thinking process myself in a natural way. I don't want to come up with a 'teacher question'... I want to show my own reactions and my own responses as a reader..."…

The central ideas of human behaviour and guilt, responsibility and justice, looking beyond actions and insight are each explored through the use of settings.

    After developing an introduction it is time to get to the main aspect of lesson planning, the learning activities. This is how a teacher presents the information and explains it to his or her class.

The last step to developing a lesson plan guideline is creating a conclusion and a preview for the next lesson.…
