This class has taught me so much. I learned so much when reading the text and taking notes from the power points in class to really help me in the future. While writing my unit plan I also put what I have learned to use.
The one thing I will definitely remember from this class is that the students need to be taught language arts in the forms of speaking, reading, writing, viewing, listening, and visual representation. The reason that I think I will remember this is because it is important for students to be able to learn information in many different forms. I believe this is also important because if a student is not a visual learner but is not a listening learner then the student will have many forms to learn from out of the lesson and not just one so that they may understand better what is being taught. During my unit I tried to incorporate these things as much as possible. My favorite lesson would be the stations lesson. I used stations to wrap up my making connections unit by having different activities that tie all of the materials together.
As the future goes on, I will use all of the information learned in this class to keep my students learning in a variety of ways, keeping the lessons interactive and keeping the students learning as much information as they can in the most interesting ways possible. This class was great and really taught me a lot. Thank you peers and Dr. Steffes!! Best of luck in the future!
I agree, students all learn differently, so I see now the importance of using each language art in a unit. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors!

Each form of language arts is definitely useful and helps each student to be able to understand. I really enjoyed the stations lesson myself! Best of luck to you as well!
ReplyDeleteLanguage arts really is so important. I didn't realize just how important it is for us to be masters at teaching our students these concepts and ideas. Have a great rest of your summer!
