EDRG 3321 presentations

Today we had two presentations that were given in class. One was about 4 different stories in one genre. The four ladies that presented did an awesome job. The little doll with lamb was a great illustration and the children will love to see the puppet and little lamb. When Karen was talking about grace and in her story and then at the end of their presentation sang Amazing Grace I thought was very good. What a way to bring in morals and values in the classroom with out bringing up the subject that is so not aloud in school. I though this group did an excellent job.

Blog for week of Nov 19

I was not in class today. However, I heard that the presentation of the ratti tat book was good. One of my classmates was talking about it to me. How they made a play with puppets and even had bloppers and edits at the end of the skit. Said it was good and very cute. Wish I had been there for it.

EDRG 3344 Expository

Expository Piece

Is a poster board that will have the different types of food that they eat, and where they live and how they live. I am using the poster board so that the kindergarten class will be able to see the visual and place words with pictures. Hopefully, the poster board comes out great!

EDRG 3344 Star Trek

This was a painful class day for me. I don't like Star Trek and vowed to never watched it. However, it was a good example for the class and what we were talking about. I choose the question Is Captain Dathon's sacrifice worth it? Why?
Yes, I think that the Captain's sacrifice was worth is. He was trying to communicate between the two and knew that this would make it possible for them to. He wanted to let the other ship crew know that they were not hostile and wanted to be able to communicate with other people beside themselves. In the beginning both ships did not know what each other was saying and when the captain from both of the ships were beamed down each of the captain's started to put things together. So yes it was a huge sacrifice but a well worth one.

by Barbara Park

This book is about Junie who has all the answers when it comes to cheating. So she thinks. Some of the questions she asked herself, What about copying someone else homework, what is a friend shares an answer with you is that cheating? Great book for a first-grade read aloud.
