Chapter 6: Great Teacher's Know a Hemingway When They See One

Chapter six has offered me a lot to think about. I love the idea of getting the students interested to write by using codes. I feel has a if I were still a student and a teacher gave me a task like this that I would really enjoy it without realizing what my teacher was doing.

I am currently in a Special Education placement and am teaching an array of classes. I have two classes were my student are high functioning and will take notes on what I will be teaching at the board. The first is for science. Every day this are assigned a part in a chapter where they have to write the key terms and then we will read the chapter as a class. We will then go over the important parts that we learned and write that on the board for the students to copy down in their notes. After they have finished this, we read over the review questions and they use their notes and key words to answer the questions. My second class is for math where the majority of the writing is math situated. As for the rest of my classes we do not focus on writing since many of my students do not have the fine motor skills and we work more on daily living and social skills.

  1. OK. Good idea you gleaned from this chapter. Will you be able to use any ideas in this placement?
