Quotes of the Day

The arts help children learn to say what cannot be said. When children are invited to disclose what a word of art helps them feel, they must reach int their poetic capacities to find the words that will do the job. -Elliot Eisner

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. " In English," he said, " a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative." A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

Pre Assignment 8 blog

I will probably just do the lesson plans I am working on now. Those lesson plans are on Chapiter 8 of the French 1 textbook and the theme is 'Au Marché' (at the market). Think, then, of lots of vocab on fruit and vegetables and 'would you get me this from the store?' type of questions.

All the SOLS of F1 will be addressed throughout the unit. Please take a look at a previous blog ( the six axis points of my Midterm) for a refresher on what those are.

I like backwards design. I am a scatterbrain at heart and, therefore, jump at the chance to structure myself in ways that will make sure students learn and I teach well. Want(what you want students to learn) , Check (how will you check that they've learned), Travel (how will you get them from nothing to where you want them) are my three words to associate with the three parts of backwards design.

As for a tech project, I want them to create a story book. This can be done with flickr technology or moviemaker or pens and paper, therefore I got my technology and non-technological bases covered.
