Blog Post 3         The passage from the NES English Language Arts 301 textbook reminds readers how important it is to stay conscious of all aspects when participating in a discussion, especially if facilitating the discussion. On pages 134-135, the text dives into all aspects that involved members of the discussion should be contributing successfully to the group. The headings, that were broken down by paragraph and elaborated on to explain a why they are important and how they can be displayed were: posture, movement, gestures, eye contact, voice, volume, and pitch.

      Blog Post 1       After reading the standards that are required for teachers to know and apply in their classrooms, I have found quite a few that I need to work on myself. The first standard that I need to begin applying and learning on a deeper level in order to someday use in my classroom would be: 2.B Understand and articulate how to use metacognitive processes of reading for a variety of purposes, including strategies useful before, during, and after reading. This brought to my attention the lack of understanding I have on all the points mentioned. I may understand the reading for a variety of purposes as well as the strategies, but not how to apply them to students before, during and after. Also, the strategy used will differ from student to student, so being familiar and comfortable with several strategies, their purposes, how to apply them before during and after in a beneficial way to a student is going to take time. Not only time, but ...
