Reflection 2
The purpose of the session today was to brainstorm our case study topic and focus. We each reflected back on prior classes that helped us fashion the Introduction, Purpose, and Problem of the study. Consequently, the discussion led to the fact that the State was preparing for the TAKS Writing test for 4th and 7th graders, in turn, we began to discuss Writing and Literacy; which prompted me to continue my focus for my case study on ESL, and Phonics vs. Whole Language.
Prior to this course, our group actually had the opportunity to begin preparing a case study as if we were prepping for a Master’s Thesis. What a wonderful blessing and peace of mind it was to have already started this process. For my case study, I will continue to take look at how building a strong phonemic foundation for both the General Ed. Student and the ESL learner are critical; and how whole language should not be the primary foundation of beginning literacy.
What I embraced from this session, is that building a web blog will be challenging, but it must be done. Although I am no technological genius, I will definitely try my best to step up to the challenge.
