CCSS for Writing and CCSS for Language

I first looked at the Common Core State Standards for Writing, and there were many things that I thought would be challenging to teach. The actual composition part of the writing doesn't seem daunting to me, but teaching students to write narratives does. I have never been great at writing narratives, so I will definitely need to work on that in order to teach students how to do it well, an in order to be clear in my instructions. I noticed that all of the secondary education age range standards have a large section that includes narrative writing, so I will have to learn to teach this no matter what.
As for the language standards, I feel fairly confident in the structure of English and how to teach it, and I feel that it will be one of my favorite things to teach. I am intimidated by teaching students who do not have English as their first language because I think it will definitely be more of a challenge. I feel like it is one of those things that comes with time and experience, but I'm hoping that my linguistics class that I am currently enrolled in and some future classes will help me to be more confident in this subject. Other than that, the language standards seemed fairly straightforward to me, and I feel confident in my skillset enough to reach all of them.

Learning Letter

Kayli Beidler Learning Letter  03-20-2020 To reflect on the work I’ve completed in this course, I want to start with the text presentations. I found these extremely helpful because they were unlike any other project or presentation that I’ve had to do for other classes. It made me realize how many resources there are out there for any issue that you may have as a teacher and also just how important it is to keep those books and resources handy while training to teach and throughout my teaching career in general. The content portfolio project was beneficial for the same reason; that I hadn’t done anything like it in any other class. To reflect on past work is extremely important, and it is really important to practice as future teachers because constant reflection is what helps teachers improve (as you have taught us).  In readings and discussions, I found it most beneficial that we explored all of the Washing State standards and reflected on them, especially since w...

Content Portfolio Project

Inside each folder titled with the subject area it contains are three artifacts that have helped me and a reflection on each artifact explaining how. Here's a link to the folders. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1UaLkvEa4suOCVFkZc8Vzy8lZ92snJC4w?ths=true

Content Portfolio Project Proposal

For my Content Portfolio Project, I am going to make a Prezi of some of the materials that I presented on this quarter. I will also add some things I've done in other classes here at Eastern that have helped me to prepare to be an English Language Arts teacher. I will also include some common core standards and how I plan to fulfill them. I will probably use some materials from high school or books that I have read or teaching techniques that made me want to proceed with this career path. I'll organize it in different categories on Prezi.
