I am creating this blog for an education class of mine, but I aim to continue this blog as I student teach in the spring to document my journey to becoming a professional. My name is Victoria Tonnemacher. I am student at Utah State University studying English in the Secondary Education Program. In my spare time, I love to read, spend time with my husband and family, watch and quote movies, and "take long, luxurious bubble baths" (Name that movie!). I'm excited for this class, "Language, Literacy, and Learning in the Content Areas" and feel like I have already learned better teaching strategies. Hopefully I can explore and share with my readers some new perspectives and ways of thinking about literacy, both in the classroom and out in the real world.

Hi Tori,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the enthusiasm in your first posting...if you are like that with your students, then you will definitely engage them in your content area!
Obviously, literacy instruction relates to English in the sense that English teachers provide a great deal of instruction on how to read and write texts. I think it relates to psychology a lot too. I've always thought it might be interesting to read narratives in psychology and to discuss how the characters' behavior and decisions related to psychological principles.
Thanks for your first posting, and I look forward to reading more of your ideas as the semester progresses!
