1. Shifting the Paradigm
I know this is the first reading that we had, but I always remember it since it was the first time that I read something like this, something that is important to read for those students who want to become a teacher, because it has ideas on how to get involved and to know how to help students. I had no idea about a lot of things in education, so starting with this reading, it helped me to learn new things and how to get more involved with students.
2. Alfie Kohn - What to look for in a classroom?
This one was one of the reading that I really liked because Kohn is trying to keep a good environment in the classroom, he also mentioned some ideas that can be beneficial for teachers and students as well. Something that is good and keeps the students motivated, are decorations, I saw a lot of them in the classroom where I was doing my service learning and I feel like if a classroom has a lot of student's decorations or teacher's decorations, the classroom will feel more welcoming, so Kohn will be happy to see how that classroom was decorated, even the desks were in a circle so students can face each other and participate during class.
3. Richard Rodriguez - Aria
I am going to be honest, this one was one of the readings that I enjoyed the most, because I have a lot of connections with this, since the reading focuses on being a bilingual person. Like I mentioned on my blog about this reading, I see that thing like he mentions happen a lot with families that speak more than one language. There is part that says that the priority for parents is that their children learn the language. Of course, this is what they want because they do not want that their children will have trouble in not understanding what other people said just because they did no learn the language. It also reminded me how hard learning a new language can be, and how brain has to change to do it.
