Often it can be justified by the teacher, but also, the teacher can ask the student to justify and apply the teaching as well. In english, I will have my students read outloud often as well as give them the opportunity to choose what they read. I want them to know that I support reading as a principle, not as homework.]]> 2019-04-25 00:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/westlayton94/bx7nzxa5x01/wish/353956200 westlayton94 https://padlet.com/westlayton94/bx7nzxa5x01/wish/353956483 In English classes, students will need to meet a standard set for research.

Application of authentic activities in writing and reading standards will help motivate students to continue learning throughout their lives. 8th grade is known to be the threshold of learning. More specifically, if a student is behind by the end of their 8th grade year then they will predictably remain behind for the rest of their education. Using authenticity will provide students the transferability from their day to day lives to school work.]]> 2019-04-25 00:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/westlayton94/bx7nzxa5x01/wish/353956911 westlayton94 https://padlet.com/westlayton94/bx7nzxa5x01/wish/353957613 Cooperative learning on all levels is important. Administration, teachers, and students work together and among each other to promote the best learning environment. Allowing students to cooperate also allows them to utilize each other's assets for the betterment of the group.]]> 2019-04-25 01:03:17 UTC https://padlet.com/westlayton94/bx7nzxa5x01/wish/353957613 westlayton94 https://padlet.com/westlayton94/bx7nzxa5x01/wish/353958079 I think it is important for students to engage in extracurricular and community projects while they are in school. In english, I will encourage students to write letters about political issues as well as to individuals who would appreciate them such as hospitals, veterans, nursing homes, etc.]]> 2019-04-25 01:06:21 UTC https://padlet.com/westlayton94/bx7nzxa5x01/wish/353958079
