that the purpose of a text, or representational medium, enables a deeper understanding rather than an ultimate truth is highly reflected in Mark Baker’s 1997 biographical novel The Fiftieth Gate and Roman Polanski’s 2002 autobiography-adapted film The Pianist. Both texts explore how the objective of history and memory focuses on the interaction between these two notions and their limitations rather than the ultimate truth. The deeper understanding gained of these two texts have shown that…

to write an information text. I chose to do a lesson about “What am I good at.” I felt that the time that I had to complete this lesson, twenty minutes, I didn’t have time to require them to write about something that they would have to research. From earlier classes that I have taken at USC, I knew that using the knowledge that the students’ already possessed was the best place to begin. Just like the reading lesson I opened with a class discussion on what information text was and how it was…

The one class that I have done amazing in would be…

The video “Organize Your Thinking to Critically Analyze Text” (Brouhard, 2012) showcases an instructional strategy called “Keep it or Junk it” in which students read a short passage and select key vocabulary words from their reading to identify the main idea. After this is done, the students are eventually asked to write research essays on the content matter. There are multiple stages to the strategy, and the teacher does implement alternative techniques when she sees students who appear not to…

where teams have developers with different native languages (my first language is Portuguese) we all need some help. In this post, I 'll provide an overview of some techniques and tools that developers (or anyone else!) can use to write better texts. Why is writing so important?
