What made an impact on you in these chapters?
Something that impacted me in these chapters is how important prior knowledge and experience is to readers. Being from a small town in Northern New York, I haven’t had many experiences with a variety of different cultures or beliefs. Which has me believing that neither have our students. If I as an adult have not been able to expand my knowledge based on experiences rather than textbooks, articles etc then how can I expect my student to have. If they, like me, have not been able to experience life outside of Northern New York we owe it to them to at least teach it through the resources we have. Some examples may even be the difference between life in the city vs life in the country. It may be religious beliefs, cultures, and even traditions.
I AGREE WITH YOU ON THIS!!!
Comprehension, understanding, and change is the goal of any reading. What will you do differently in your teaching after reading this section?
I always try to use the “I do, we do, you do” way of modeling. However, I don’t think I spend enough time on inferencing. Even at the middle school level, my students struggle with this. I believe Figure 6.1 will be a wonderful resource for me this year!
I ALSO WANT TO TRY USING this MORE!!!
