11-12th Grade Literacy
I hope to one day teach secondary education, with an endorsement in English. Ideally, I want to teach high school juniors and seniors. For that reason, on this assignment I decided to focus on the common core standards of juniors and seniors. One of the themes that I noticed when reading through the standards for 11-12th grade literacy is that many of them focused on the students ability to analyze and think critically. It challenges students to not only interpret the text, but also to infer from it. An example of that is standard one, “ Cite strongly and through to textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text…” (CCTS,2016). Students are asked to not only understand what a

    Reading Literacy Objective

    My example for the Reading Literacy objective is reading the novel, Invisible Man. Throughout the journey of reading Invisible Man we’ve done pre-reading, reading, and post-reading activities and applied strategies from all three activities to other assignments. The second bullet of the reading literacy objective states “To apply pre-reading, during reading, and post-reading strategies to all reading assignments, including determining purpose and pre-reading vocabulary.” Before reading Invisible Man we read a multitude of different works of literature to better understand the time period in which the book had taken place. We also took notes during our reading and discussed our findings with the class as a whole. After reading, we completed…

    MTE 533 Current Trends Paper

    The CCSS provide a clear set of shared goals and expectations for the knowledge and skills that students need at each grade level; however, they don’t dictate how teachers should actually teach the content (Common Core State Standards Initiative, 2015). This means that teachers can interact with students, evaluate as students’ progress through the content, and tailor lessons as necessary to meet the needs of individual students. The standards now stress conceptual understanding of big concepts and require the use of integration to draw connections. Additionally, in requiring students to understand a concept in a relational manner compared to an instrumental manner, teachers will need to begin to ask students to justify, explain, and apply their knowledge to evaluate whether or not it was understood.…

    Rhetorical Analysis: What Teachers Should Know About Common Core

    Source 1 : What teachers should know about common core In examining how the Common Core State Standards have been presented, and comparing this public image to what is factual, I researched a number of articles, books, and other academic works. One such article is called What Teachers Should Know About Common Core. In my analysis of this article I will demonstrate the author’s use of rhetorical tools and how effectively he presents his information and any argument. When analyzing any document, the first thing to look at before scrutinizing rhetorical content should be the source itself.…

    Rabel's Classroom Literacy Analysis

    Part of Rabel’s classroom literacy instruction was also focused on him writing either the days routine in the morning or after a lesson. I was able to observe several things about Rabel as a writer. I noticed that Rabel enjoys to wre, but once again has a hard time staying on task. Rabel is very intelligent and can write about almost anything. When they were learning how to write poems, I observed him create a poem about the day he went to the zoo. Rabel is a very interesting young boy that when is focused, he can complete any task assigned to him. I also noticed that his personality comes out in his writing. While Rabel was writing I noticed that he wasn’t scared to use words he didn’t know. His teacher encouraged her students to try their…

    The Sponsors Of Literacy Summary

    In the reading, The Sponsors of Literacy by Deborah Brandt she talks about how literacy was received and withheld from people because of socio-economic classes. Brandt claims that there is a connection between literacy and economic development or as she refers to them as sponsors of literacy which can either help, sensor, or withhold all together the ability to be literate. Literacy provides an upward mobility or at least the means to move upward in social classes and without literacy there is no means to gain an edge. In her interviews of Raymond Branch (European American) and Dora Lopez (Mexican American) Brandt found that even though both were born in the same year and had moved to the same town when they were younger Branch was introduced…

    Arguments Against Common Core Standards

    Arguments Against Common Core Standards

    To support these claims, they state that Common Core place more emphasis on critically reading non-fiction texts and learning explicit guidelines (Calkins, 2012, p. 5). While these claims are valid, it is important to note that Common Core did little to improve college readiness. In Massachusetts and California, the Common Core standards weaken the literary basis and cultural understanding to prepare students for college (Stotsky, 2010, p. 25). The emphasis on close reading contribute to the poor literary basis and cultural understanding, since it de-emphasized the background of the text. A very notable example is Common Core chief author David Coleman’s video about close reading. He mentioned that to understand Martin Luther King’s Letter from Birmingham Jail, we need to understand “what lies within the four corners of the text” (“Arguments against the common core”, 2014, p. 4). For a rich text like Letter from Birmingham Jail, it is particularly nonsensical to read for what’s required for a standardized test and ignore the history behind the text. In order to fully develop comprehension, close reading is not the answer. The answer is understanding the background of the text and developing a cultural understanding that truly develops comprehension skills and improves college…

    Literacy Classroom Observation

    Over the past few weeks, the struggling student that I have been observing is called A. I started to know A better when he was undertaking a center plan activity during the literacy class. I inquired about him and he told me that his name is A and he is 6 years old. I asked A about his family back home. He told me that everyone at his home was okay. I probed him for more information about his family and he told me that he lives with his mother and two sisters. He mentioned that both of his sisters are older than him and that his mother is a nurse. When I asked him about other family members, he said that his grandfather comes to visit them once in a while and that he always brings him a gift. For example, the last time A was visited by his…
