Mrs. Schaub has a website to keep her students informed. I feel this is a great way to keep students connected. Click here to view her website. Mrs. Schaub is a firm believer in silent reading and reading for pleasure. She gives students 10 minutes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday for silent reading. She also does Scholastic Book Orders to get students more involved with reading. I like her style and I am learning a lot from her.

Student Teaching
I am student teaching at Green High School. My teacher, Mrs. Schaub, is very helpful. She has provided me with many new materials such as textbooks and handouts. Her organization fits well with mine. I will be teaching Language Arts 10B, which is the basic Language Arts class. I will have one class of inclusion students. Also I will be teaching creative writing and mythology. I am a little nervous about mythology because I am not as familiar with it as I am the other subjects. In Language Arts I will be teaching Of Mice and Men and Julius Caesar. For my ten-day unit I will be teaching persuasive non-fiction. Mrs. Schaub has given me some great ideas and I have come up with the theme "Toast for Change." I will introduce persuasive speeches, read stories from the textbook, find propaganda and different forms of media that has persuasion. I will also be including a lesson on rhetoric. I look forward to student teaching.

I believe it is crucial for students to have SSR in schools. The 10 minutes may not seem like a lot of time, but that is 2 hours per month. The more reading done in school, the better. It is awesome that your teacher has her own website. Over the summer, I set up a website in my ed tech class. It is very easy to do and you can upload all documents and powerpoints. If a student is absent or forgets to bring home an assignment, all they have to do is go online. I feel that every teacher in this day and age should be making their class content available for students online. It is a great way to stay connected away from school.
