Over the last few days as I read some of my students’ blog posts, I noted a theme: several now know the definition of genre….this thanks to our sci-fi unit and their completing a multi-genre sci-fi project.
Oh, the taste of sweet success…at such unexpected times.
This occurs at a most opportune time: I had just admitted to a teacher-friend that I had not done a very good job with vocabulary this nine weeks. Now, I am feeling better! In addition, I have already created my PowerPoints for the next sixty words for two classes, one utilizing The Crucible, the other Julius Caesar.
“Research suggests that the best way to teach vocabulary is to pull unfamiliar words from student reading.”

Thanks, Ms. Carla, for this reminder and for your inspiring blog and website at Web English Teacher. I just shared this site yesterday with the students in my Secondary English Methods class (who I am also proud to say are blogging for the first time…please check out Connecting the Dots!)
More taste of success!
