Everyone and their mother is getting engaged and I'm just happy if I take a decent selfie with good lighting.

Management: giving us the “everybody writes” prompt the night or two before to have a general idea what we will have to write about. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Take away:
I enjoyed how we had to dress up like a fantasy character and use our questioning skills to try and figure who people were. I’ll definitely utilize this in my classroom, especially after reading a particular fantasy book. It would be a great response. @JohnArden

@CoryAsbury @IndWes @Calebculver @IWUHoops There’s nothing to take... we’d dominate 👍🏽

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Take away: I loved how today we were able to look at educational books in a different light that simply thinking about textbooks. It’s so easy to fall into the lie that learning has to be from a published huge textbook. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Management: as high pressure the “everybody writes” papers were, I thought they were highly beneficial to check for understanding and then base your instruction on what still needed to be learned or what was already obtained. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Take away: when critiquing contemporary fiction, keep in mind the same things you do for critiquing multicultural children’s literature. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Management: opening slip of paper we had to fill out after we discussed for a minute. A great way to 1. See who all was in class 2. Check student learning progression @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Take away: poetry is so much fun and can be taught in a variety of ways. It is an excellent way of self expression that children will love exploring. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Management: during the poetry lesson today, as each student finished their poem the next person on deck to read would give them a compliment. This allowed for careful and smooth transitions. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Management: we were given the task to meet on our own time to discuss the lit circle books. Allowing room for personal growth and finding time in our schedules to accomplish a task. You also gave us a set date when that was required by. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Take away: comparing books to the movie is a beneficial way to understand more of the meaning behind the story. It causes readers and viewers to expand their ideas and thoughts and think critically and analyze the two. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Management: You could have had us sign up for groups on a sheet of paper or done it verbally but you created an organized google doc for us to create our groups. It allowed for student engagement and discernment. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Take away: critical pedagogy goes beyond thinking critically about books and situations. It allows students and peers to question and challenge domination. One should not simply conform because it’s easiest, we should teach our students to reflect, & evaluate. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Management: you gave us two options to do for the remainder of class; allowing us to manage our time, completing what we needed to get done. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Take away: no matter where we end up as educators, we need to include multicultural diversity in the curriculum. Although, keeping in mind 4 things; avoiding stereotypes, language consideration, the books perspective, and diversity and range. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Take Away: there is way more to teaching about other cultures than it seems. You must be culturally sensitive and truly give 100% effort while teaching on other contexts, trying not to cause a divide amongst cultures. @JohnArden

[Carly Lewis @ms_carlyj]

Management: You gave us playing cards (which you’ve done in the past) and placed us into our research groups based on the suite on the cards. A simple and easy way to group students. @JohnArden
