My pedagogy classes thus have provided several different learning experiences. My most recent learning experience was a close reading assignment that was to be completed in field. However, before I completed this assignment in my field placement, I engaged in one myself in my pedagogy classroom. It was at this point that I was able to see first-hand what a close reading actually is. The purpose of a close reading is to allow the student to “develop a deep understanding of what the author is…

my mentor teacher is to always motivate your students, by giving them praise. Another thing I learned from my mentor teacher is the importance of a word wall and how much they help the students.

Random test subjects were brought in to a room, and were told to administer an electric shock to another person after the person gave an incorrect answer. Very few people stopped the experiment before reaching a lethal level of electric shock. In fact, over half of all subjects brought into the experiment administered the shocks up to a lethal level. Overall, the experiment…

I was assigned to work together with Lisa Adamson and Katie Doherty. My group and I were in charge to teach chapter eight sections four and five. Chapter eight section four was about functions, and chapter eight section five is about coordinate system. Surprisingly, our group previously taught a lesson of a fifth grade math class, and our sections tied into teaching up to the middle and high school level. I enjoyed these sections and I will discuss how I felt working as my group and how I…
