Roxannes Reflections

Post a Comment. Friday, May 30, Roxanne's Reflection. Why did you choose the concepts you did to create your problem set? How do these problems provide an overview of your best mathematical understanding of what you have learned so far?

Did you learn anything from this assignment? Was it educationally valuable to you? Be honest with this. If you got nothing out of this assignment then say that, but be specific about what you didn't like and offer a suggestion to improve it in the future.

Posted by roxanne at PM. When I suggested a female author, I was told she was not on the approved list. Yet, in my English methods class we were told we could teach whatever literature we wanted, had access too, and was suitable for the grade level.

This creates even more confusion between the college and those in the profession whom we are learning from. We have been told one thing, but when we step foot in a school, we have to deal with resistance.

When we are looking for students to make connections between text and life experiences or identity, we must include a diverse array of literature in the ELA cannon.

It is important to reach all students. Given that each student is unique and we live in a multi-cultural country, why are we leaving ethnic authors out?

Why are we not teaching female perspectives? I question why some books are still being taught fourty years later.

Kumashiro states that by changing what students read we change how the student reads. Kumashiro has many examples of questions he asked his students.

What lenses might some people have used to arrive at these interpretations? What results when we say that these interpretations are not only objective, but also the most correct 74?

English Language Arts is delightful avenue for a teacher to teach anti-oppressive education. People are worried that teaching these stories lead to political unrest.

Taking this extra step to teach relevant material to students capable of devouring the material and learning to read literature from different perspectives is exciting, in my opinion.

Some future teachers dread the thought of it. Kumashiro, K. Inquiry based learning and problem-based learning both require that we assume our students knows as much or as little about the topic we are teaching.

We must assume that they can work through inquiry based questions. Each student has prior knowledge when they enter our classrooms.

For some students, school is a way of escaping their lives. Students may be more open to learning a theme in a novel because it pertains to their own life or something they have experienced in their own lives.

We need to examine our students and their positions in society before we make any assumptions. I implemented a controversial, anti-oppressive unit during my week of teaching ELA A30 a unit on Canadian poetry.

There were two Aboriginal students in the class who were not connecting to the material. I told him poetry is just like rap music and that seemed to help him connect to the lesson.

After reflecting on this, I decided it was necessary for me to bring in some controversial FNMI content to engage the Aboriginal students.

I introduced a lesson on Louise Halfe; she writes poetry that explains her experiences and repercussions on her and her family during the residential school era.

Halfe uses a vernacular form of the English language to resist assimilation. She writes as her people speak. I find it fascinating.

Once I taught this lesson the two Aboriginal students in my class were so proud and then interested in writing their poems. I assigned the students a creative writing poetry assignment with several suggested themes:.

Through creative writing such as poetry one can express oneself using literary devices without revealing too much. You have all demonstrated a deep understanding of what we have covered from your daily feedback.

I feel you are prepared for this job, and I look forward to reading your writing. There is a minimum requirement of 4 stanzas with a minimum of 4 lines each.

If, however, you feel passionate to write more please continue writing. There is no maximum length. Although, I know you all have busy teenager lives.

You can reveal as much or as little about yourself as you wish. I hope to see a powerful connection to you identify as a member of Canadian society.

Your final poems will be evaluated Wednesday, April 2. I would recommend getting started on your poem as soon as possible. Next week will be my last few days in the school, when I will be available to help.

You are required to self-assess your poem with a rubric that you will find in Mr. The majority of the students created beautiful poems based on themes representing their identity in Canada.

Newcomers wrote about their homes in Pakistan contrasting to the ir homes in Canada. Another newcomer contrasted Eid his Muslim Christmas to Christmas.

Overall, the unit went well. I did not feel comfortable grading their poetry, as we had little time to work one-on-one, and I feel poetry is very personal.

I had the students self-reflect and give themselves a grade based on a rubric I created. I either agreed or disagreed with their self-evaluation.

I encouraged that they continuously reflect on their work and themselves to enable their journey of life-long learning. Most of them were very honest with what they believed they deserved.

I agreed with them all. It felt like a community of learners. I told the students I was just practicing and I hoped to learn as much from them as they did from me; I believe they respected that.

I had one student perform spoken word poetry before we dove into that section of the unit, and he was fantastic.

If we are able to make what we teach relevant to their lives, and their prior knowledge it will better engage them in the subject matter.

Students may become more open to learning a theme in a novel simply because it pertains to their own life or something they have experienced in their lives.

I told him poetry is just like rap music and that seemed to help him connect better to the lesson. The problem was that I did not have enough time to work individually with students.

Haben Sie ein älteres Gerät, kann dieses mit dieser High-End Grafik überfordert sein, was den Spielgenuss deutlich behindern kann. Ruckelt es nicht und sind die Bewegungen flüssig, können Sie Ihr Echtgeldspiel starten.

Sonst sollte Sie sich nach einem anderen Spiel umschauen. Da die meisten Online-Casino Anbieter den Webbrowser nutzen, ist eine Internetverbindung unbedingt notwendig.

Anders stellt sich die Situation bei sogenannten, Live-Spielen dar. Diese finden in Echtzeit statt. Verfügen Sie bei solchen Spielen über eine langsame Internetleitung, wird der Spielgenuss definitiv gestört werden.

Abgesehen von Ihrem persönlichen Spieleerlebnis, kann dadurch auch das Erlebnis der anderen Spieler am Tisch getrübt werden. Es kommt zu längeren Wartezeiten, bis Sie reagieren, sprich setzen und teilweise können Sie sogar einzelne Züge verpassen oder die Verbindung wird unterbrochen.
