What Have I Learned?

During this semester of EDU 300, I feel as if I have changed somewhat. I like language arts a little more now and I found out that if I apply myself to something, I can accomplish it no matter what it is. For example, when I first read about the book project in the class, I was a little upset. I had never written a book before and I was definitely not a writer. I had a hard time envisioning myself writing an entire book. However, once we got started on the project and working with the writing process, I realized that it wasn't going to be as hard as I thought it was going to be.

I am definitely going to apply some of the things I learned in EDU 300 to my future classroom. For example, I am going to try to implement the reading process, and also activities like the book project in order to help teach my students about the writing process. I also will try to implement the read-aloud that we got to be a part of this semester. I think that is a great way to teach students about inflection, and it is also a great way to help the students relax at the beginning or end of a class.

Over all, I really enjoyed being in EDU 300 this semester. It was a lot of fun and it has taught me a lot of helpful tips to use in the future.
