blog post 3 Discussions in the classroom

-
In the Discussion article, I feel as though the "circle of voices" is very effective when it comes to gathering information and expressing it in discussions in any kind of environment. Being in a group of less than five peers is that there is un-interrupted time between a very small group of people. There is more time to gather thoughts and information without the stress of being interrupted and feel that they got their points across. This way of discussion also helps with introverted students who fear of being judged and talking in front of larger groups of peers. Students feeling fear and having that fear drown them and making them believe their opinion isn't worth talking about is my biggest fear as a teacher. I feel this type of way to teach discussion can be very successful in making students talk with each other and in front of the class.

"Reading With Pictures" J. Elder Presentation

 A detailed description of the text.  This book is about how the comic industry has changed the face of "visual literacy" in ALL subjects based on common core standards. The Common Core State Standards now explicitly recommends the use of comics in the modern classroom. It also gives examples of how they use the comics in readings, writing, math, social studies, language arts, and science.    2. Please explain why you chose this text. What was your rationale? How does your understanding of this text influence your thinking about your teaching. The reason I chose this book was because of the cover. It captured my eye and looked the most interesting when I was looking around the library. That is basically one of the reasons why comics are actually recommended, they catch the readers eye. It hooks the reader and they become a little more interested when there is action or adventure in a story, rather than sitting and staring at a white piece...
