Literacy for the iGeneration

Today in class Allison Bosworth came in and discussed with us our Field Experience. – Don’t forget to pick up your green folders! After her discussion Dr. Jacobs discussed the syllabus with us. We went over any questions, in particular we discussed the PodCast assignment. We also covered lesson plans and how we’ll be learning how to create mini plans that we’ll be teaching the class. We went on to learn about how to review a reading assignment by doing a teaching tool: What did I learn, what surprised me, and what was a question I had…

 We had a discussion based on the comments we made on our index cards about the readings and we went off of this and discussed the material further. Dr. Jacobs introduced us to other books that we can choose to read for a review that we’ll be doing in groups – don’t forget the book has to be read by October 23rd.

We covered the beginning stages of our literacy story as well that will be used with our Podcasts later. We concluded by discussing next weeks homework assignments and reviewing the reading and learning how to develop our own “nature of literacy.”
