Hi Folks,

Please have each of the four responses done by July 15th. At that time, I will print them out, review them, and send Dr. Peterson your scores (out of twenty points).

Thanks,

Fourth Response/Journal: Classroom Environment and Discipline

Share with us one of your biggest challenges concerning class environment/student discipline in one of your classes. Then, share something that you have done to improve the environment/level of discipline in the classroom. You've now been with your class a year (and you've obviously survived), so tell us something you've done that you feel good about.

Third Response/Journal: Teaching Writing Fluency

Briefly describe the writing abilities of one of your classes. Then, talk about how you have worked with students to build their writing fluency.

Second Response/Journal: Student Engagement

Share your thoughts on the importance of student engagement in the classroom. Then, tell us one technique that you use to engage students in your particular classroom.

First Response/Journal: Reader Response--Theory and Instruction

Hi Folks,

Please share your thoughts on reader response theory based on our readings in the Sheridan text. Secondly, share an example of reader response-based instruction from your classroom.


Our goal here is to consider what reader response looks like in our language arts classrooms.

I'm enjoying working with each of you and am honored to know that you have joined us in this district!
