When I registered for this class I was not sure why this course is a required course. I knew reading was important, I knew literacy was involved in all aspects of education, but I did not realize how much. This course has opened my eyes wider in more than just my subject area (English). I learned how important literacy is in all subjects including PE. I knew that in teaching English, is not just about reading and writing, we need to be able to teach our students to be literate. I learned that there are many more tools out there that can be used besides books, film, internet and that I need to be creative in ways to incorporate all of the tools that are available and even ones that might not be readily available.
Overall I enjoyed this class. I now understand why this is a required class. I think this class really does get us ready for the classroom. The one thing that i would have liked more is not to have everything due almost at the same time. Having the book project and the unit lesson plans due so close together with our personal philosophy statement made it a little hairy. With that said, to me this class has been the most beneficial class thus far in the education towards my goal of being a teacher.
