Week 5

Tonight in class we talked about many things but the graphic organizers and talking about different authors really stuck out to me and Stephenie Meyer is one of my favorite authors and she was on that list. It got me thinking about when I truly started reading for fun when her Twilight series came out when I was in HS. I love to read and I have tons of books in my bookshelf now. I love how we can use all the links Mrs Steffes gives us afterwards because they are so helpful to use and keep for future references.

Lesson Plans: Well I have figured out which subject I am least excited about teaching. Language arts. I had the hardest time thinking of a language arts lesson and I don't know why. I think maybe it is because I find things and I think it could easily be taken as a social studies or history lesson and not language arts. Also as I ma writing this, my daughter is screaming in my face, pulling on my arms as I write which also could be another reason why I cant think of a good lesson BUT I finally thought of a good unit, The Holocaust. I can have my students write a biography about Anne Frank or make a timeline of the events leading up to the holocaust and so on. I think it will be a great unit!
