First Class for E339!

Alright, so last Wednesday was my first class for the course E339 : Methods of Teaching Language Arts. During class, we discussed all of the writing we will be doing for this class, which consists of keeping a 'reflection blog,' and a Writer's Notebook. This blog is where I will be making note of key events that happen in class, along with reflecting upon assigned readings. My personal goal is to accurately emulate the in-class experiences that take place during Wednesday discussions, while keeping my readers captivated and wanting more. This blog will allow me to pull out the aspects of class that I find especially useful and beneficial to my future career as a teacher, and will also assist in accelerating my ability as a learner.

I am also looking forward to keeping my first Writer's Notebook. This is where I will be jotting down personal ideas and blurbs of events and situations that spark my interest. The Writer's Notebook is the ideal place for making notes of certain aspects of life and daily encounters that trigger the child-esque curiosity in me. I will be expected to carry this sacred little notebook along with me wherever I go in hope that I find something in this chaotic world that fascinates me, or gives me an idea for my next big movie (not really, of course.) I just hope my writing will accurately capture the humor and fortitude that I believe I posses and portray in my everyday life. Stay tuned for my next post, as I'm sure it will be more thrilling than explaining a notebook that doesn't exist just quite yet. You just wait.
