Students may feel disconnected from language because it is not allowing them to express themselves as much as it should so Dr. Hanauer presents his approach and method to ESL instruction in a way that allows students to feel more contextualized and human in their writings and expressions of English. His approach focuses on students being able to write poetry in English to describe very memorable or important events in their lives. The human connection and emotional connection …show more content…
Even though poetry is not the first choice for most teachers to use in an ESL classroom, it does present a strong approach for Dr. Hanauer and others to use so that their students become more fluent and confident in their language use. This article helped me connect some ideas that I am having for this August in my classroom. The curriculum is already made, but I will be able to modify it to my unique teaching style and even though I do not like poetry that much, I can really see the benefit of using it in the classroom. The free structure of poetry would allow students to become more interested in using English rather than forcing them to write on an arbitrary topic that may not interest them. This could help as a bell ringer activity or something of that nature. This would also be a great addition to my literature review of my final class as it would allow students to share more personal stories

Before the 19th century, English was not considered a discipline and the purpose of it is still debated. Throughout the years, new cultural, social, and philosophical trends have influenced the way English is taught and studied. During module 1, different videos were shown, and several readings were assigned that helped me to relate all the material. In this synthesis essay, I will describe what I learned throughout the videos and the readings by making connections among them.

In this article, Ferriter (2009) reveals many benefits from the use of technology in the classroom with our 21st-century learners. The resources and suggestions mentioned throughout this reading will assist teachers in ways to avoid problems and becoming engaging instructors by using technology in innovative ways. What I found was so innovative by this approach was by creating a network of innovative co-learners where collaboration takes place regularly, Ferriter (2009), is able to experiment with digital connections without ever meeting other teachers in person. Not only is this beneficial for students and teachers all over the world, but also simple. What I found was unique and useful was the worldwide collaboration that helps teachers explore skills and dispositions that assisted with the network cooperation by creating shared content.

1. Research question and hypothesis As specified, this research aims to evaluate the hypothesis that uncontrolled and excessive use of social media online had indeed served as a driving force of cyber-bullying behavior. As this research covers the perspectives of both victims and perpetrators by utilizing the interpretivist paradigm, this research will also be able to uncover if youths who excessively use social media, cyber-bullies and their victims are without a doubt interrelated in an endless loop as a by-effect of influence. 2.

Madison: University of Wisconsin-Madison, Wisconsin Center for Education Research. This article explores how students of today are being prepared to do “commodity work” when jobs of the future are looking for people skills of “innovative work” and how this is affecting our workforce, government, and future technology. It discusses the idea of schools preparing kids to work in traditional type of fields like manufacturing or large corporation work, yet we need to be teaching knowledge about innovative design and technology.

ers Bldg, University ParkPA 16802USAhag5@psu.edu Henry A. Giroux Cultural studies seems to have passed into the shadows of academic interests, replaced by globalization and political economy as the new millennium’s privileged concerns among left academics. Yet, cultural studies’ longstanding interest in the interrelationship of power, politics, and culture remains critically important. Matters of agency, consciousness, pedagogy, and rhetoric are central to any public discourse about politics, not to mention education itself. Hence, this article argues that the promise of cultural studies, especially as a fundamental aspect of higher education, resides in a larger transformative and democratic politics in which matters of pedagogy and agency

The first lesson will focus on CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.2 where we create annotations and gist statements to help us begin to understand how to find theme and to help us summarize the text. Standard CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.4 will be addressed by having students complete a graphic organizer to help them understand how the poet uses metaphors in the poem. Standard CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.7, while not the focus of this lesson, will be introduced through thinking about how the video that goes along with the poem compliments and extends the figurative language in the poem. Finally, students will have an opportunity to experience CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.W.5.3.D when they write their own spoken word poetry, focusing on how they can use words to convey
