Fifty cents apieceTo eat our lunch

Question/Connection: What can you get for 50 cents? A dollar? 5 dollars? To think of an experience that only cost 50 cents seems like an unlikely possibility. However, this is an idea to get students to make a connection to a time they made an experience memorable with little monetary resources. To reiterate, this allows the reader to read through a writer's eye...how does one build an experience as simple as this into something so elaborate, exciting and energetic?

We'd eatyou hummingAnd me swinging my legs

Connection to...: The joy of such a simple and likely common experience is easily relatable and helps writers access those smaller memories to create a bigger picture and more elaborate depiction of that experience through writing.

Everything on the hotdogsExcept pickle lilyDash those hotdogsInto buns and splash onAll that good stuffYellow mustard and onionsAnd french fries piled on top allRolled up in a piece of wax

Visualization: Descriptive language is so beautifully used in this poem; when teaching this text with my students they were able to visualize the hotdogs and the overall experience, which made their analysis more detailed. This type of writing is extremely beneficial to read when creating a picture in such a brief piece of text. Here you can smell the hotdogs, build the hotdogs with all the fixings and enjoy the experience of eating them.

We'd runStraight from schoolInstead of homeTwo blocksThen the store

Craft Techniques: This poem is set up to reflect the order of events that the speaker and their friend/sibling/companion/etc. experience as they leave school to get their hotdogs. As far as the writing process, Cisneros could have created this poem from the first steps to the last and all that happened during the experience. This chronological order establishes a writing process for those reading to understand her process.

Quarters on the counter

Connection: I remember saving up every bit of cash that I could just to buy something from the book fair. It usually was a box set of a certain series I enjoyed or pointless yet amazing erasers or other school supplies like that. Just a small purchase like this of my own money made me feel powerful and in charge of my own life. This connection to the text could be similar to that of one of my students.

A greater understanding of where Angelou is coming from; her history, her story, her promising future and dream. This line in itself sets a tone for the poem, which can be broad but still understood for students.

This kind of rigor goes into a lot of my decisionmaking
Reading strategy: Using this statement to make connections to personal life: I think in so many parts of our life, probably starting in high school, decision making becomes a way of life. We think we have to think critically about our choices, from college choice, apartment choice, roommates, friends, etc., so this influence trickles down into every manner of life, like dinner choices.

I think it is important to make it clear with students that there really is a whole village that supports them, and not just with school related issues/matters. Classrooms should also be flexible considering that everyday will bring new challenges. For this reason I appreciate the "learning environment" section.

Integrate their learning:
I think that teachers have a big responsibility to make modifications based on student's learning styles to thus make their PLE be most effective. Like see what self-directed/environmental tools will be most beneficial for how a student learns.

That is why lifelong learning is such a crucial part of the education conversation and why modeling a learning lifestyle is one of the best things that teachers can do today.
This is such a big reason to why I want to teach and came here to St. Edward's to study education. The idea of promoting students to be "lifelong learners" is literally in the school's mission statement, and that is expected of each of us here. I think in reference to this article, working with PLNs and other aggregators is going to be playing a huge role in the future of education, and how we can use these tools to influence students.

The central tool for dynamically maintained asynchronous connec-tions is the RSS aggregator.
I had to look up what RSS stood for on this website: http://www.whatisrss.com/
I learned that "RSS" is a Rich Site Summary, so it is a format for delivering regularly changing web content. I can see how Aggregators play a role in education, like using these online tools in lesson plans or outside the classroom, and that they can be used differently each year since they change.

Can be written for any curriculum area
This could also beneficial for the entire school to incorporate if students and teachers are having difficulty communicating curriculum expectations in a specific class, but are doing fine in others. As in, all teachers are on the same page on how to get students involved, and to know what's expected of them.
