Chapter 13
Throughout chapter thirteen of the text, one of my favorite pieces was the student checklist of study habits and strategies. I feel as though this is very important for students to be aware of study habits in order to increase the effectiveness of their studying. I feel as though I could alter this survey into something I may be able to use in my action research of student interests. I remember being assigned chapters to read throughout middle and high school and I feel as though the modeling SQ3R approach would have been very effective with my reading skills. Making students aware of different techniques for studying is important in the success of the student.
One of the main skills that I have used when introducing a text is to state the purpose for reading it or allow the students to answer why they believe reading the text is important. When students know that there is a reason or importance of reading, I have found them to be much more motivated. I really enjoyed reading in the text how to address to students, “Asking Questions about Tests.” I have found that after I explain an assignment, several of the students did not follow the directions afterwards and completed the task incorrectly. If I had followed the texts guide as to addressing with students important questions, this may not have occurred. I found this reading to be very informative in areas that I needed additional assistance in.
Chapter 14
I was really able to connect to chapter fourteen because I completed a literature review on the importance of parental involvement in the classroom. I agree with the text in the importance and positive effect parental involvement in the classroom has on students. The text discussed an example of a family literacy project, which I had to complete in my undergraduate study. Not only did this get parents involved with their students through literature, I was able to communicate with the parents and get to form a relationship with each parent. Another way to get involved with student’s lives outside of the classroom is to attend any sporting event, etc. that he/she may be involved in. This allows the teacher to talk to parents in an informal environment and get to know them better.
