Experience #3 Reading/Literature - Book Presentations
I LOVE book presentations, I think that they are a great idea and that they help get a lot of information across in a very short amount of time. Book presentations are something that I have had to do for a handful of classes, but that are always really helpful in showing myself and other students what are the main points to what are sometimes 100+ page teaching manuals. For myself I always hang on to/ keep the handouts or names of the books that I think that I could use in the future. Typically book reviews include 4 main things
1. A background of what the book is about
2. The main concepts/ Tools
3. How those tools are used
4. What could be and what wouldn't be useful to use in the classroom (Potential challenges)
From these book presentations I learned that almost all lesson plans can be altered to fit your classrooms level and that being a good teacher usually involves relying on other teachers to find effective ways of teaching subjects. I also learned that you don't have to read every page of every book in order to obtain and reproduce the information/lesson plan that is being read about. Because of this experience I now have several different resources to use when I as a teacher get stuck not knowing how to teach a certain subject or lesson.
Here are SOME of the books I plan on buying:
Teaching arguments Rhetorical comprehension, critique, and response - Jennifer Fletcher
In Other words Lessons on grammar, code-switching, and academic writing - David West Brown
The English Language Arts Handbook Classroom strategies for teachers- susan J Tchudi
Never work Harder than you students -Robyn R. Jackson
Common Cor practice for english language arts
Literally anything that is Lumos Learning.
Because of these book presentations I know have a nice library of things that I can use to help my students and I think that is a very valuable thing as a future teacher because you never really know what kind of classroom you are going to be getting.
