Hi and welcome back to my blog post! Throughout this process, I have learned so much that will help me for my future teaching career.

My teaching ideas

Throughout my research I found many authors that have written children’s books. These books would be great for a classroom and to read to elementary students, as they can engage students in books they do not see and read all the time. Some authors I am curious about are Charlotte Zolotow, Vashti Harrison and Chelsea Clinton. These three authors all target  feminism and racial differences. I am interested in these types of genres and era’s because it can help students understand and learn more about gender roles and racism to some extent. These genres and era’s can help my students … Continue reading My teaching ideas
