Finding the perfect book
For some reason this whole miscue thing has got me thinking about how we, as English teachers, hold this belief that everyone actually loves reading but has yet to find the right book yet. And that I, as an English teacher, am going to find the magic book that takes student to that special place. What if that isn't the case? What if the student doesn't like to read because he or she doesn't have to read to get by day to day? I am not advocating giving up on the dream, but I am trying to be realistic about my goal. I may be able to help my miscue student, but what about the other 120 kids who enter my classroom? I am finding it hard to lead one student to that special book let alone the rest of them. This is just something that I have been kicking around in my head during this project. Everyone have a great student teaching session!
