Recommended: The role of reflection in teaching

While taking this course I came to a realization of many things, some being good and some being a bit disheartening. While I learned many things that can benefit me in my future career as an educator, the career I always fabled in my head as a YouTuber quickly diminished after realizing I’m vastly more awkward in recording. The lesson plan was painstakingly awkward for me to do, though it definitely pushed me out of my comfort zone and into a realization that I need to be more comfortable in front of any audience because that’s (hopefully) where my career will take me. Before taking this class I had no real prior knowledge on lenses or most things that we covered or at least not by the specific names that were given.

When looking at multiple perspectives you begin to see the amount of things you can do to a text just by looking at it from another perspective. Multiple Perspectives is essentially giving more dimensions to the text by reading it through another sort of lens. You’re beginning to view it from a completely different angle, when teaching students this I think it’s imperative because they may start to question more things that they are being shown rather than just accepting them. The examples given on page 36 with “Humpty Dumpty” and “There Was an Old Woman who lived in a Shoe” are something that further proves that you can add dimension to even the simplest of stories, especially ones that have become staples in early learning. When showing this to students they’ll begin to see the multiple perspectives that can be given to any literary …show more content…

I feel like lesson plans are almost like planners in a way, we are able to use them to write down what we need to do and exact steps so that we do not forget anything when we are in the classroom. When we are in an actual classroom this will help us smoothly be able to teach classes without forgetting aspects of the lesson. When thinking in advance about a lesson, we would be able to reference the lesson plan for materials that we may need to go out and get so that we can complete it. Furthermore, if we happen to be absent, having a lesson plan will help a substitute be able to go into the classroom and not feel lost when they have to teach the

Analysis Of Third Person Omniscient: The Book Thief

1091 Words | 5 Pages

You know this when you see the use of “I”. This point of view is great for a reader because it allows you understand the story through the eyes of the narrator and gives you a great sense of the character’s voice and personality. And the last point of view is shifting and the book I picked as an example was Voices in the Park by Anthony Browne. This is a unique story about four different voices as they tell their own versions of the same walk in the park. Shifting allows the reader to see events from different character’s points of view, but is still written in the first person.

How the Point of View Can Change Everything Why do we need to know the different points of view of a book? Or why does it matter?

Perspective

1193 Words | 5 Pages

“What is perspective?”, is the question you must ask yourself before we continue any further. It’s someone’s (or, in some cases,something’s) point of view. In the realistic fictional poem, “Hippopotamus”, the author, Ogden Nash, manages to portray two possible perspectives through one speaker. The poem depicts how, although the speaker thinks Hippopotami look funny, the Hippopotamus may very well feel the same way about the speaker, and other Hippopotami most probably think the Hippopotamus looks great. Perspective is also utilized in the fictional short story, “Zoo”, by Edward Hoch.
