I hope to implement writing in my lesson plans also. I believe this to be an important aspect of teaching. Writing is essential for every subject and most definitely is important for the high school and college level. I enjoyed learning more about the before, during and after activity plans. I plan on using that and also have more writing prompts. I have thought about having journals for my students where they can simply free write. As a student, I enjoyed free writing. Especially when there wasn't something specific I had to write about or when it was going to be graded.
Overall, I am grateful to be able to take this class before I step into the teaching world. I have gained so much knowledge on the concepts of literacy but most importantly how to implement it into my classroom while also making it beneficial. I received numerous resources to use in my classrom. I enjoyed interviewing Mrs. Jennifer Hyde for my self-selected porject. I love getting advice from fellow teachers and learning from their mistakes and accompishments. I am throughly excited to start teaching, even though most days my nerves take over I know that I will try my best to have a classroom that students want to learn in.
