and my curiosity wasgrowing almost as fast as my list of extracurricular activities, so by the time I graduated high schoolI was definitely well-versed in several different multiliteracies.
I think its good that she did things she took interest in and explored after high school.
Tounderstand just exactly what this book means to me you need some background knowledge of whatI was going through at the time I picked it up.
I can relate to this. When I do certain things even as small as reading a specific book, it has a lot to do with the things going on in my life.
When I was home, I wasexpected to be smart; I was expected not to complain, and most ofall I was expected to be equal parts Abduch (my middle name as wellas my mother’s family’s name) and Pasqualin, which to my family meant never giving up.
This is important because it shows us how much her family cares about the things she does in life.
How is it that she could only see junk where I saw my entire life story?
I believe this is important because it shows the readers how significant books are in her life.
It was one of my strengths. I was good at it,and I enjoyed it. If anything, I thought I might fail citizenship. How could I have screwed up writing?
Her confidence in writing was lowered based completely on a grade. Showing how much she cares about succeeding.
erhaps because of that lack of seriousness, I earned a2 on the Advanced Placement English Exam, barely passed the twelfth-grade proficiency test, and wasplaced in developmental writing in college. I wish I knew why I failed that test, because then I might havewritten what was expected on the second try, maintained my enthusiasm for writing, and continued to dowell.
Her feeling this way is understandable. When you put your all into something and don't achieve what you wanted, it can lower your confidence. It can effect anyone after so long of trying.
This experience showed me just how differently my writing could be judged by various readers
I agree with this. The way things are comprehended and read can vary so much because of how different we all are.
. The Indian kids crowd the classroom. Many are writing their own poems, short stories and novels. They have read my books. They have readmany other books. They look at me with bright eyes and arrogant wonder. They are trying to save their lives
This shows us the impact he made on kids when it comes to learning.
I cannot read the words, but I assume it tells me that "Superman is breaking down the door." Aloud, I pretendto read the words and say, "Superman is breaking down the door." Words, dialogue, also float out of Superman's mouth. Because he is breaking down the door,I assume he says, "I am breaking down the door." Once again, I pretend to read the words and say aloud, "I am breaking down the door" In this way, I learnedto read.
Using this strategy to learn to read at such a young age shows how smart he really was.
I began to think of everything in terms of paragraphs. Our reservation was a small paragraph within the United States. My family'shouse was a paragraph, distinct from the other paragraphs of the LeBrets to the north, the Fords to our south and the Tribal School to the west.
The connection he made to the world just from a book reminds me of when my little brother first started reading. The excitement he got out of reading a sentence correctly made me happy.
Story is the best vehicle for passing on factual information.
I wouldn’t completely agree with this unless the story teller is reliable by having actual evidence.
How a child or teen uses narrative can often inform the educator on next steps that are needed to help understand and create instruction for the child or teen.
Is this done through observation of the child or teen?
Telling and listening to a story is not the same thing as reading or writing it. Even if a storyteller uses the same words as are found on paper, the story is transformed when lifted into talk and experienced in each other’s presence”
I agree with this quotation because listening and telling a story allows rhetorical appeals to work better than reading and writing. This allows us to have a better visual and understanding of the story.
Humans have such a long history of using storytelling to connect to one another that it seems like an instinctual motivation and desire.
I agree with this because we know the history of the world through story telling. Humans have used it for thousands of years. One example is Ancient Egypt.
