bilblog: More Show Than Tell.

http://kikikazee.blogspot.com/2010/11/more-show-than-tell.html

Monday, November 1, 2010. More Show Than Tell. I am always amazed when a particular work is able to bring life to a character in a single paragraph, and sometimes even less. Allen’s Bringing Subjects to Life. I love garden metaphors. They are generous and expansive in interpretation and universal in application. In The Profit. Khalil Gibran speaks of friendship. “He is your field which you sow with love and reap with Thanksgiving.”. Paul Fleishman’s, Seedfolks. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

bilblog: MGRP in Action

http://kikikazee.blogspot.com/2010/10/mgrp-in-action.html

Monday, October 18, 2010. Today was the first week of the School of Education’s Science Saturday program. After this week’s readings I had a much clearer picture of multi-genre usage within a single theme. I participated in this week’s installment of Science Saturday and was able to see firsthand the effects of multi-genre usage on the learning process. Though it was scheduled for between 9:30 am and 12 PM it ran a little long. The elementary students were divided into three groups, k-2nd, 3rd-4.

It Takes a Village to Raise a Teacher....: May 2015

http://villageteacherhootie.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html

It Takes a Village to Raise a Teacher. Saturday, May 2, 2015. Reading Out Loud.My Choice. This week my sub gig takes a different twist. I will be a full-time sub, filling in for a teacher who is due to have a baby at any moment! I am excited for her, mostly because it is her first baby. I recall how scary and yet wonderful that was all at once. I am excited for me, mostly because I started the year out in a fourth grade classroom and now I will get to end the year in another fourth grade classroom! I kno...

It Takes a Village to Raise a Teacher....: Final stages...before my own classroom...

http://villageteacherhootie.blogspot.com/2014/08/final-stagesbefore-my-own-classroom.html

It Takes a Village to Raise a Teacher. Saturday, August 30, 2014. Final stages.before my own classroom. Fall hasn't even arrived, but I am currently student teaching and taking my final class on campus. I have plans on keeping this blog active and using it to reflect on my experiences. I have been co-teaching for a month now in a fourth grade classroom. The days are going past too quickly. Within five days I found myself in love with all 24 of my students! One third of the class says Math. Three weeks in...

L559 Books for Kids and Teachers: September 2010

http://l559booksforkids.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

L559 Books for Kids and Teachers. Thursday, September 30, 2010. I am sharing http:/ www.biguniverse.com/. This is a website that I have been playing with for a while. It offers hundreds of online books to be read from over 24 different publishers. The books range from non-fiction books to classics such as Moby. Big Universe also includes a writing component that allows students to write and publish their own works on the web so they can be read by others. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. On this site, acto...

bilblog: The Power of Multi-genre

http://kikikazee.blogspot.com/2010/11/power-of-multi-genre.html

Wednesday, November 24, 2010. The Power of Multi-genre. My experience with the multi-genre project was much different than I expected. I was prepared to learn more about multiculturalism and the benefits of building a multicultural classroom community. I believed this would come through investigation on my research paper. I did not have much confidence that the other genres would be as persuasive, nor would they provide any additional understanding. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Arthur J. Tippin.

To Do the Write: September 2010

http://todothewrite.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

To Do the Write. Friday, September 24, 2010. Hale is full of great ideas for encouraging and improving student writing. She has developed a system of crafts, mini-lessons and conference strategies that are brilliant and, with some thought and dedicated time, look to be relatively simple to implement. A careful eye and a patient tongue may actually be the most arduous skills to master in her scheme. My gut reaction is “no, that’s nonsense and just mean.” I think I agree with myself, ...With Hale, I find t...

In seeming awareness of past wrongs or in an effort to jump on the political correctness bandwagon, Disney has made an attempt to show minorities in a positive light. However, the addition of feature-length cartoons Mulan. These shallow attempts to rectify errors of the past ring hollow. Must think and fight like a man in order to succeed.
