Well, it's the end of the term already....and again! I cannot believe how quickly this term has passed and how quickly this class has gone. It was interesting to hear people share their fan fiction pieces - I was thouroughly impressed!!
Last week was a very good class. I really appreciated Julie Gellner coming to speak with us. I thought she had some very thoughtful ideas. I could feel myself getting so excited to teach while listening to her stories of student enthusiasm, initiatives, and ideas. It is amazing to me how one story has incorporated so much learning - in the classroom and life learning as well.
I could even feel myself getting a little teary-eyed as she shared the poems her class had written. I even have trouble beleiving that such considerate and accurate words can come from a child's thoughts. How wonderful....and inspiring.
I look forward to reading Hannah's Suitcase as I see the change and influence it has on that specific class.
Have a great week! Good luck with the unit plans and pulling together your writing portfolios.
