well most of what i learned and thought about was written in the previous blog. so im not sure if i am suppose to reiterate what i mentioned or add something new. well, after meeting last week in class i come to realize that i still feel the way i do in the last blog i had written. on the other hand, talking about article 3 and reading article 4 had me thinking about my future in the classroom and teaching english structure, stories, grammar, and etc. it seems like the language and its components should be easy to understand because i was born and raised here but in reality its probably one of the hardest languages to teach, speak, write, understand, and comprehend. i have learned that it is up to the teachers to teach their children and make sure they understand what is happening. i have to practice what i preach in sharing my work, sharing my fears about writing, and my expectations from them as students and learn what their expectations of me as a teacher are.
as mentioned before i think of these research articles as a stepping stool to my own experiences with writing. these articles gave me a chance to look at others points of view and put that in the experiences i will encounter and possibly those i have already encountered. it also gave me a window of thinking, meaning what would i do in that particular situation that this teacher did or wanted? by interacting with the others in class it seems like the overall aspect of my articles were similiar to the articles they read and it seemed like they felt the same way i did.
