Hi and welcome back to my third blog post! In my last blog posts I have talked about teaching the Roaring 20s to fifth and sixth graders. The book that my partner and I will be assigning for students to be introduced to the Roaring 20s will be What Were the Roaring Twenties? by Michele Mortlock. This book is great because it has everything that went on during that decade along with real life photos so the students can get a full understanding of life during this time. The way my partner and I will be introducing the whole topic … Continue reading 3rd Blog Post.

Lesson Development

malloryorgonas

Hello and welcome back to my third blog post! When trying to come up with a teaching style it is important to accommodate to various teaching styles for children. After all, everyone learns differently and obtains information in different ways. A teaching style that would allow students to reach their academic potential is, interpersonal and Spatial intelligence. Essentially what this means is that students would have to work together and throughout our lesson plan, we have created visual lessons for visual learners. In our lesson plan, it is planned for students to watch a short clip on how one’s actions … Continue reading Lesson Development

Hi, Everyone, welcome to my third blog post! I hope you are as excited as I am to talk to you about “The Tell-Tale Heart” by Edgar Allen Poe.

My partner and I have created a lesson plan for this story so get ready to dig deep and start thinking about possible themes and lessons that this story is trying to send to its readers. Our goals … Continue reading Blog Post #3

With the recent launch of Disney plus, we thought what better way to teach students about the principles of transcendentalism that are depicted in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s “Self Reliance” than through Disney movies? In order to teach this work successfully … Continue reading The Tenets of Transcendentalism in Disney Movies

By: Alicia Briley The literary period of Romanticism was artistic, musical and an intellectual movement that originated in Europe. Romanticism focused on emotion and individualism as well as nature. The Gothic literary period of American literature is just a sub-genre of Romanticism. The Gothic period occurred from the year 1800 to 1850. Since Gothic literature is a branch of fiction presented through many combinations of horror, mystery and romantic elements. Our lesson plan will be focusing on teaching 4th graders a poem.

Approaching “The Raven” Using Music and Nature. Geared for Elementary Students.

amberh2022

The gothic and romantic are classic literary time periods in English that many readers enjoy. “The Raven,” by Edgar Allan Poe is a representative example of these literary periods, and is a poem that many know and love. In order to effectively teach this work to a fourth-grade class, we have decided to create a podcast as a resource for fellow elementary educators to listen to and take ideas from. In the project, we want to focus on Gardner’s naturalistic and musical intelligences. I believe this is a great resource for other educators because with our podcast, we can be … Continue reading Approaching “The Raven” Using Music and Nature. Geared for Elementary Students.

The Road From the Roaring 20’s to the Great Depression: Through the Eyes of Elementary Students

walkerg40

Hi everyone and welcome back to my teaching blog! As discussed in my last post, I am going to be gearing my lesson towards teaching students about the road from the Roaring 20’s all the way to the Great Depression. While in my last post I heavily discussed the lessons and background that I have on this time era, that being my experience with the classic piece of literature, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I now want to transition into solely focusing on how I will communicate my knowledge on this subject to elementary level students. With that being … Continue reading The Road From the Roaring 20’s to the Great Depression: Through the Eyes of Elementary Students

The Tell Tale Heart

bridaniele

The short story “The Tell-Tale Heart” is by Edgar Allen Poe. It is a very morbid story, but Poe always leaves behind an important lesson for all of his readers. In this story the message is that guilt can ruin us and destroy people. It is better to be honest and set your guilt free. As a future educator it is part of my job to constantly keep the children engaged. I know that this can be a difficult thing for teachers to deal with and that is where the mutiple intelligences come in. Every student learns in a different … Continue reading The Tell Tale Heart

2nd Blog Post; The Roaring 20’s.

consedinee

After talking about The Great Gatsby in my last blog post and researching about The Roaring 20’s, I will be using the book “What Were The Roaring Twenties? (What Was) by Michele Mortlock. Even though I have not read this book yet, it looks like a great book for 5th and 6th graders because it has many pictures of what the 1920s had in that lifestyle but also is a chapter book. A chapter book is a great way for 5th and 6th graders to work on their reading skills. The grades I will be focusing on while teaching the … Continue reading 2nd Blog Post; The Roaring 20’s.

Self-Reliance

linm25

Hi, my name is Michelle Lin and welcome to my second blog post! For my lesson plan, I would be using Ralph Waldo Emerson’s Self Reliance. Emerson is I would focus on 5th -6th-grade students who’re about to enter middle school. This type of literature is great because it focuses on Realism. It also defines individualism, which most fifth to sixth graders will start to experience as they soon transition into middle school. While reading this text, students will learn to trust their intuitions and believe in themselves. For this lesson, I would be using 3 of Gardner’s intelligence. In this lesson, … Continue reading Self-Reliance

Hi, I’m Gabby Barbera and welcome to my second blog post! It has come to the point in our Research Project where we must finalize our desired topic for the project. I tossed around many ideas but then came to a conclusion about young children. One thing they love to do is draw. Not only does it keep them occupied, but it gives them an outlet to be creative and explore their own imagination. I’ve found that Dr Seuss has particularly creative artwork in his children’s story books. My entire childhood I read Dr Seuss and have always loved his … Continue reading Blog post #2

Civil Rights Movement

mauluccia

After conducting my research and looking over my last blog post, the text I will continue to focus on is The Bus Ride That Changed History. This text was written by Pamela Duncan and she focuses on Rosa Parks’ story. From this text I am aiming to focus my lesson around 3rd and 4th graders. Personally, I have not read this book yet; however, through research it is stated that each page builds off the other which will leave young leaders interested. I plan on using visual-spatial and interpersonal intelligences throughout my lessons. A visual-spatial learner is a student who learns … Continue reading Civil Rights Movement

Hi! My name is Sydney Abate and welcome back to my blog post! The text that I will be focusing my research on is Blubber by Judy Blume. In this book they conduct two intelligences. These are interpersonal and intrapersonal. The interpersonal aspect comes in when the main character, Jill has to deal with being apart of something she does not want to be apart of. The intrapersonal aspect plays in when readers see how Jill struggles within herself and her conscience. I have chosen this book because Blume’s books are ones that teach lessons to readers. I find this … Continue reading Second blog post

Education Builds “Self-Reliance”

cameryncriscione

Hi everyone, my name is Cameryn Criscione and welcome back to my blog post! The text I will be focusing my research on is “Self-Reliance” by Ralph Waldo Emerson. I have chosen this text because Emerson’s work explores the ideas of how experiences shape our lives, how growth can be scary and painful, but also how it is necessary, and why it is essential to choose truth. I am gearing my teaching tool to fifth and sixth graders, depending on the state in which they live. I believe this lesson plan is best for the highest level of elementary school … Continue reading Education Builds “Self-Reliance”

My name is Margaret DeRaffele and welcome to my second teaching blog post. My main execution is guided towards teaching second and third graders about the importance of immigration to and from other countries. My partner and I have chosen a book that can help children have greater understanding of immigration and its exact meaning. This book is called All the Way to America by Dan Yaccarino. As I stated in my last post this story is about one shovel that has been pasted down from generation to generation in a large Italian family. By creating a lesson from this … Continue reading Second Blog Post
