July 9th

I was not sure if we had to post for this evening, so i did just in case.

First of all i would like to say i LOVE the Routman. Last week i made the mistake of reading 5,6,7 in the Routman, before i realized it was the Lenses book. I really enjoy it. I think it really helps a person become an awesome teacher. I enjoy the fact it doesn't overload you with information on just reading, some of these assessments and activities (or even examples) could be remixed and put to other subjects.

I love the book of the week idea. The subject of the book could be endless but they students are still working on their editing skills and writing skills.

I also like ways in inspire reading in the class. I thought it was a wonderful idea to encourage partner reading because if one students feels ok with reading and another does not they could get through it together. But my favorite is the book on tape. Even i enjoy buying a book on itunes and buying the paper back to follow along with. Train rides could get noisy and it's a great way to focus (so can classrooms).

I am getting a lot of ideas from reading this text to help with my case study. Many different activities i could do with the student.
