my classesMost of my classes are English-based, whether it's English II, III, or IV, Creative Writing, Music Appreciation, or even Speech. Because all of my classes are English-related, we do a lot of reading and writing.
I personally believe that the only way to ever get better at anything is constant practice. That is why I devote a significant part of class time every day to my students simply reading and writing. Every day, classes will begin with reading. Usually, this involves each student individually reading from a book of his/her choice. After that, we will write a warm-up response to a journal topic in a personal journal. I feel that this helps ease into learning, as well as helping to get everyone focused and prepared for the lesson. |
