Description
Class Experience
My goal is to create a connection between prior knowledge, new knowledge, literary text, and the real world. Aside from improving reading comprehension, developing analytical skills, and encouraging higher-order thinking, I want my students to be confident with their interpretations and responses.
Students may have some light reading and writing outside of the classroom. Be sure to read the course schedule on the main description. Part 2 contains more research and writing; this may require more work outside of class.
~ Pencil and paper. ~ A traditional composition book. *Gel pens, skinny markers, highlighters, and sticky notes are a great option for the more creative note taker.
Informal & Formative assessments are a natural part of my teaching style. Feedback will be provided to the students that submit their literary responses and research within a week of assignment dates.
50 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
