Teacher roles during language arts

I think that as a teacher that there are many roles that have you have to be. Some of the roles that it says that you have to be are organizer, instructor, and coordinator. As a organizer, you have to better prepared and organize the lesson and the environment so that it creates a language-rich environment. I think that this important because if you do not put thought into a lesson or the environment, the students are not going to get anything out of it. As an instructor it is important for you to explain language arts and instruct on how to use language arts. A coordinator is someone who works with people around them to create an environment that supports the learning of language arts for the students. As a teacher I think it is important to take on many roles.

let there be an effect on you, and there by having affect on them.

What I think that this means is that when reading someones work in your writing community let it change something in you, so that it has an effect on you and to show that you care. If someone know that you care, they are more likely to listen to what you say and let you affect them in what they do. A student will listen to you, if you listen to them and hear what they say. Someones writing can say a lot about them as a person and what is going on in their life. Teaching will be a lot easier on you, if the student's life have an effect on you. If you do not care about them, they will know and they will not want to hear what you have to say, so you will not get anywhere as a teacher. As a teacher you have to see what is going on with your students and if not you do not have a classroom, you have a group of students.

Writing....is it worth reading

What makes writing worth reading? Thought is important when you are writing and I think that when someone puts thought into their writing it can help make it worth reading. Grammar, it is important but there are many people who do not have good grammar. I do not think that it makes a paper unworthy of reading, but it makes a big difference when someone is reading it. A interest in what you are writing. When you read something, you can tell if they enjoyed writing it or they do not care what they are writing about. I do not want to read something that the person did not like and that tone comes through the paper. The knowledge of being able to write makes it worth reading. It is important not to take that for granted, when you are able to write something. I think that all writing is worth reading, but somethings can make it hard to want to read it and can dissuade you from reading it.

How I learned language.

I learned language through phonics. I remember as a young student going into a separate room and having to look cards that had sounds on them. I think as an adult I now spell things wrong because look at the word as each sound so that I spell things like they sound. As I teacher I do think that it is important to teach phonics because it helps children learn to spell. I know that in the stage where students use inventive spelling, it is important for them to know phonics to be able to do that. I also think that it is important to use other techniques in teaching to teach students language because it does lead to the reading and not every word is said like it is spelled. It is important to use whole language and balanced literacy.
