TPRC:
Think, Predict, Read, and Connect is one strategy that we learned about in class last week. This strategy is used before, during, and after reading to help the students think about what they are reading, predict what they think will happen and to then make the connections with what they have read. This seems like a good strategy to use because it follows the student through the entire process of reading.
R.A.F.T:
Role, Audience, Format, and Topic. I liked the idea of this writing strategy because it gave an opportunity for students to get creative about all the different ways they can write. It was also interesting when the instructor discussed not having to choose parts of the strategy in any particular order.
Lesson Plans:
After listening to the lesson plan presentations, I feel as though I have learned quite a bit from my classmates. It is nice to see so many different perspectives on teaching in several different content areas. everyone has the same hope for their outcome, that they create an engaging and educational plan and there are so many different ways to do it. Being the student with the probably the least amount of teaching experience in a school, it is very helpful to listen to the other presentations to get a grasp on how things should go.

I agree with you about the lesson plans. I'm somewhat happy I'm one of the last ones to go just because I get to see all the wonderful lesson plans before me. They give me ideas for my future lesson plans. I'm not sure if I will use the two strategies mentioned above in my lesson plans, but I'm thinking about it. What about you?
Yes it has been fun to get to see what others are thinking about in there lessons and it helps give ideas of things i can do with mine.
