Final blog post!

Sorry to sound so excited about that Dr. Dana, but I cannot wait for the end of this semester, winter break, and traveling for a few weeks! I found this course to be very informative and helpful. I was a skeptic at first as to why I needed to learn about reading to be a biology teacher. However, after taking this course it has become very evident that fosterng literacy skills in students is something that all teachers need to participate in, not just those in the language arts department. The ideas we have discussed in class, those shown in the Subjects Matter book, as well as those that you have had us do in class are all very useful and practical. As far as things that I wanted to learn that I didn't, I don't think that there really are any. I learned more about what reading, writing, and literacy as a whole are in this class than I have been taught before in other classes. Overall I found this course very useful and informative, and thats something that can be hard to come by these days!
