Science Newsletter Project: Creating Newsletters to Demonstrate Science Concept Underst... - 0 views

  •  
    One strategy for teaching science concepts is through the use of student developed newsletters. This approach involves students in the learning process as they research information, write articles, and present these articles in an individual or class newsletter format. This newsletter project helps students improve their writing skills as they learn how to write in science.

How Zitkala-Sa violates literature norms! - 0 views

    • Annie Penrod
       
      How is she different? Do most Native Americans follow this violation or do they write more traditionally?
  • Zitkala-Sa's narrative does not create a unified self integrated into a single world, but must we regard this as a flaw? I would like to posit that instead of adapting or adopting white models, as some Native American autobiographers have done, Zitkala-Sa crafts a w

  • Zitkala-Sa's writing does not, indeed, legitimate these institutions. Zitkala-Sa's work violates traditional notions of autobiography on two levels: it does not put forth a model of triumph and integration, nor does it emphasize the importance of language in the overall process of self-authentication.(1) Therefore it is only when we approach Zitkala-Sa's writing in terms of how it subverts traditional modes of autobiographical and linguistic self-authentication that we can come to see its full richness and complexity, and understand the unique problem of a "canonical" search for language and identity in Native American writing.

      I have been thinking about my research unit for student teaching next semester. I might have students develop there own research topic. That way they definitely have a moment of Kairos in their writing.

    This could come in handy later as I create lesson plans for my research unit.

Writing in Science: Creating Nature Journals - 0 views

    A nature journal allows students to make observations and connections about the natural world in which they live. As they develop their own nature journals, students develop a concrete understanding of what is going on in the part of nature they are studying.

Francisco's Journal » On Being a Latino Writer - 0 views

  • I don’t feel that I should or that I am only able to write or that I am somehow for the sake of publication, more inclined to write about “Latino issues.” Latino issues are what? The alienation and disenfranchisement of immigrants; stories that describe the food we eat and the fiestas we celebrate? I think that if I want to be a good Latino writer I have to be a good writer first. My interest is the human soul and the human condition. My main characters will be Latino but they haven’t always been poor people struggling to survive across the border. Some of them have been successful individuals who like many other successful individuals have come to realize that success is not all it is cracked up to be. Whatever good I can achieve for the social problems that affect Latinos will come as a result of being a good writer - someone who portrays Latino characters as believable human beings. To recognize ourselves in the soul of another - isnt’t that a good to be valued? And so yes, I am a Latino writer although I don’t see myself as one.

Stimulating Critical Thinking through a Technological Lens - 0 views

  •  
    Stimulating critical thinking using technology has the potential to create more in depth understanding of science and math content by students when engaged in learning activities which integrate in-class and on-line technology resources. Technology tools support stimulation of both inquiry-based and critical thinking skills by engaging students in exploring, thinking, reading, writing, researching, inventing, problem-solving, and experiencing the world outside their classroom. This is accomplished through learning content through the lens of video to multimedia to the internet (Using Technology to Improve Student Achievement, NCREL, 2005).

Unexpected Benefit of Having a Facebook Page for your Courses - 0 views

  •  
    I think this is really neat and I agree with it. My Creative Writing/IB English 11-12 teacher from high school has a facebook page, a personal one, and she is friends with alot of her teacher friends, current students and student alumni. Not only do we get to keep in touch with her, but she also asks our opinion on how to run the class, how to make it better, becuase we have been there before. She has also issued a challenge to all her alumni and teacher friends to keep track of how many books we have read this year, and I am now in my mid-twenties. Thanks to her, I've kept on reading and writing, all because we are friends on facebook.
