Final Reflection for Teaching Literature in Secondary Schools

This class has been so helpful!!! I have learned so much. I learned so much on creating lesson plans and overall how to teach reading in my classroom.

I liked that were worked on writing lesson plans. I never wrote a lesson plan before, so it was a different experience. I liked being able to try out different ideas and see if they worked or not. I was taught what makes a good and bad lesson plan. I hope to use this knowledge to better myself in the art of lesson plan creation.

I really enjoyed the drama portion of our learning. I have always wondered about how to teach Shakespeare and now I have so many ideas and resources to use. I really want to use the silent scene. I loved that, I think students would have a lot of fun with that.

Final Reflection for Multi-Modal

I feel that I have learned so many helpful way on how to incorporate technology into my English classroom. Dr. Kist has showed me that literature is not only just classic novels. Literature can be movies, graphic novels, video games etc. Literature is all around us and that I believe is the point that Dr. Kist wanted to make to us.

My really liked the wiki assignment it made me be more aware of how the Internet can be helpful for creating lesson plans and what not. I also had never learned how to do a wiki before and it wasn't too bad. I want to someday incorporate a wiki into my classroom. I think that students would really like it.
