Unit Plan Presentations

Carman - I like that you are aware to incorporate all aspects of English Language Arts into your lesson plans.  I think it's a great idea to include other subjects into your Language Arts lesson, too.  It makes the information more important in the students' eyes because they see how different subjects are related and intertwined.  Great and insightful response!  I think students will really enjoy being in your class and will learn a lot.  Your open and creative mind will take you far in the teaching career.

Michelle Simons - You're right!  There are SO many ways to include fun, interesting, and engaging activities in Language Arts' lesson plans.  Technology is one of the many ways that students will love and be engaged in.  I love that you put some challenging statements in your response stating that we are hindering our students if we are not creative and incorporate these activities.  Teaching is a never ending learning journey.  I believe you know this though and will continue to do whatever you need to do to refine your teaching skills and strategies because you have the students' best interest in heart.

Danielle Nardi - It sounds like the Scope and Sequence made you reflect a lot, which is great!  I think a teacher needs to reflect, think critically, and more in-depth about what is best for your students to be a great teacher.  You need a plan for the lesson and a direction that you're leading them, so you were spot on when you said creating lesson plans are intentional and precisely planned.  Your insight and persistence will help you be a highly effective teacher.  Great job, Danielle!

Michelle Perry - You have a positive and uplifting point of view on Scope and Sequences.  The two times that I've had to complete a Scope and Sequence I was not looking forward to it because they tend to be tedious.  You helped me see this document in a different light, which encourages me to put more effort into it next time I need to complete one.  Your response was great and informative.  You're going to do great and influential things in your teaching career!

Amanda Stander - I agree with you that Scope and Sequences can be confusing.  I also understand how you got overwhelmed with writing one in a previous course.  I remember having to complete a Scope and Sequence in a science course and when she mentioned this assignment I had no idea how to do one properly.  This time around it wasn't as bad to complete, but it is still a tedious task.  I'm glad you have a better understanding on these, too.  This knowledge and prior experience will definitely benefit you as a teacher.  You'll do great!


I think y'all did a fantastic job!  I enjoyed having each of you in my class (again).  I hope to have you in another class soon.  If not, I wish y'all nothing but the best in your future endeavors and your teaching career! 🙌😃

Let's keep in touch, please!
