This class was the true definition of "don't judge a book by its cover." As soon as I seen the "LL" in LLED I instantly knew that this was going to be a class about language arts which is a no-no in my books. To make matters worse, the moment when Mr. Robinson was introducing himself on the first day of class and he mentioned that he taught grade school language arts, I knew that the icing had been placed on the cake. A wise man also said, "you can't knock it until you try it." With that being said, it didn't take long for Mr. Robinson to sway my outlook on the class.
This class was full of information that is sure to benefit us as beginner educators. Subject Matters is a text that is sure to stick with me. I would strongly encourage anybody in the College of Education to invest in this book if they want to become a better educator. Mr. Robinson would always place emphasis on pages 30 & 90-91. Those 3 pages are the keys to city that holds great educators. Those 3 pages are the blueprint to thinking strategies that help students become more effective readers. No matter if your content area is science, mathematics, or even physical education, these pages WILL HELP YOU!!!
Since my primary content area is mathematics I figured that there is no way that I can relate these strategies to mathematics since there is little reading involved. In the little reading that comes with mathematics, there are reading strategies that can be used. My personal favorite strategy is coding the text. In my opinion, this strategy is the most effective in a math content area classroom because it can be used before and after reading. I will be using this strategy as an assessment tool to see what my students are confused about, and what did they see as important information. Each student has different learning levels. One topic that is easy for one student may be difficult for another student and vice versa. I would like to look at coding the text as a way students becoming teachers after hours. I say that because students can use this strategy as a means for showing themselves what is confusing, and if they have made any progress with learning the concept. It may be a challenging task to get students in a math content area class on board with it, but with the powers that Mr. Robinson has invested in our cohort I am more than happy to accept that challenge.
If you would've told me on the first day of class that this semester would end this fast, I would have said you were lying. It seems like just yesterday we were just posting our first blog, and here we are posting our last last synthesis blog. I promise every blog, think-aloud, of strategy lesson that was shared in LLED 3530 will not go in vain. This class was certainly an eye opener that will keep my eyes opened. I am sure Mr. Robinson won't forget our class for the simple fact that I am stamping our class as the best that he will ever had. If the next class needs an example of what a great blog site looks like feel free to use mine as the mannequin. I used quotes to my open the blog, so it is only right that I end the blog with a quote. With that being said, "all good things must come to an end," and I am signing off. ✌🏾
