Self-Reflection- Final Word
One final word... This class helped me develop a better overall understanding of how to approach teaching language arts at writing lesson plans. Multigenre text sets and annotated bibliographies were two concepts where I completely lacked familiarity. Although it was somewhat challenging to develop an understanding, I'm better off moving forward because I now know how to assemble text sets and annotate bibliographies. Those resources will aide me as a Language Arts/English teacher. Another aspect that was challenging was writing and developing lesson plans. It has always been a struggle for me, but this class gave me a better idea how to approach lesson plans, as well as assembling a micro unit of study, in the future. Other activities like reading theories and methods, creating Powerpoints, and conducting an author study can be utilized in my teaching. In a classroom setting, all aspects of the class can be incorporated, so for those useful concepts I learned, I'm thankf...
