Though homework calls my name, I wanted to take a moment to mention what happened with my revelation of last post. I did talk to my CT, and we conversed about humor and other connections between texts as well as where we might see future examples of these connections in our classroom. Unfortunately, I did not get to lead the specific discussion I wanted to (stupid time constraints), but my teacher did address the connections we talked about with the students in the limited time we had. I hope for an opportunity in the coming semester to bring humor back into our discussion of literature. I may try to plan a lesson/writing workshop around this concept, especially as it relates to persuasive writing and creating voice.
I must hasten to the dreaded research project screaming for my attention, but I wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all and enjoyable time with family.
Cheers,
Ms. Iseminger
Thanks for following up, Krystal. I love how your previous post invites us on a journey of how you generate ideas for teaching and then make specific plans for enacting those ideas in your classroom. I wish you'd had the opportunity to explore your ideas further with your students, but you are right ... next semester awaits, as do many years of inspired teaching in your OWN classroom. Go, Ms. Iseminger!
