Chapters 5B and 5C

5B 

When I started this part of the chapter it reminded me of Freedom Writers.  I say this because when the new teacher started she was boggled that the librarian would not allow her to check out real novels for her students to read, remind you they did not have regular text books either. So she set out and was determined to get donations of books for her students. I feel like if I was put in a situation like this, I would try my best to be able to provide for my students learning. I am actually starting to collect books now to display and use in my classroom. Reading and other outside sources are a great learning tool. Like the book said there more information out there then the text book. When I was reading the three organizational requirements i was thinking that this is an outside for a great lesson plan. In my opinion I think it is important to be organized and have a well thought out approach. As teachers, we need to be well read and kept in the loop on current events and current arising issues. by doing this I think i could see myself keeping up with my education and also attending classes and meetings to be a life long leaner. 

5C pages 202-220

While reading this section, I was remembering back to my 215 class where we learned more in depth about blooms taxonomy. I believe that it is very crucial to remember these steps and use them in our teaching career. I feel that if we use these in our classrooms, we are setting us as teachers as well as the students up for success instead of failure. As i continued to the reading to the Integrated curriculum, it gave me some anxiety. I know that as teachers we will have to do this a lot, as a new teacher i would hope that teachers with more experience would help me with this. Give me pointers and the ins and outs. I had no idea there were 5 levels of the curriculum integration. and personally I think the Team levels are the best. IT is always nice and a good idea to get feed back and other ideas on how to teach a lesson. Maybe a different teacher or colleague has a great point or a previous experience that helped teach a certain subject or content area lesson.
