Now that
there’s only approximately a month left in the school year, my professors are
assigning final papers and projects.

This past
week, I just completed a Learning Segment Assignment which is one of the key
assessments in my EDT 428 class. For this assignment, I had to create 3-5
lessons in sequential order that centered on an essential question and provided
students with opportunities to engage with a complex text.
I decided
to create 5 lesson plans and I decided that I wanted my students to complete a “This
I Believe” speech as this learning segment is the start of a new unit on public
speaking. I used a variety of texts to show my students what makes an effective
public speaker, but the complex text that my lesson focused on is Martin Luther
King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
For my ENG
304 class, I am currently working on a case study in which I need to explore
how writing has played a part in the development of an individual. In order to
complete my case study, I have to interview my participant, collect and analyze
a variety of texts that my participant has written, and then I also need to
directly observe and record my participant while they are writing.
I decided
to use one of my friends in my cohort as my participant, and I’m interested to
see what I will learn about her writing process and how writing plays a role in
her life.
Beyond
this, I have received my assignments for final papers and projects, and I am
looking forward to a few of them.
Most
notably, I am looking forward to my final paper for my linguistics class
because I had the opportunity to pick any topic (as long as I could relate it
to linguistics) and I have decided to write about the morphology of terms that
Shakespeare coined.
In my EDT
423 class (Young Adult Literature), I have to create some sort of
video/animation/anything that can play on its own, as long as it’s not a book
trailer, about one or more young adult books that I have read this semester.
This project will be challenging, but I am looking forward to the creative
aspect…
