I think students enjoy literature most when they are able to make connections between what they learn in class and the world around them.]]> 2021-05-14 05:49:03 UTC https://padlet.com/punitha8911/2fnqtdvx3viabwhh/wish/1523780825 dsruix https://padlet.com/punitha8911/2fnqtdvx3viabwhh/wish/1523780971 I think it is a great opportunity to teach students how to think and process information and make meaning in their encounters in life. Teaching a text is just a means to an end and I think the reflective, personal and critical way of thinking is something that will stay with students]]> 2021-05-14 05:49:08 UTC https://padlet.com/punitha8911/2fnqtdvx3viabwhh/wish/1523780971 phua_shih_wen1_3 https://padlet.com/punitha8911/2fnqtdvx3viabwhh/wish/1523782480 Exploring themes and feelings and how language works in amazing ways.

Not all students are engaged in every aspect of the lessons 

How to move students from restatement to close analysis ]]> 2021-05-14 05:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/punitha8911/2fnqtdvx3viabwhh/wish/1523784315 dsruix https://padlet.com/punitha8911/2fnqtdvx3viabwhh/wish/1523784524 Lack of time. There's so much opportunity to explore, but no time to do so beyond what we need to for the exams and assessments

I find that often, we have to find a way to make it such that we allow students to bring things into the table on their own, and to create a safe space to for them to do that
