Chapter 3----Hello everyone I would like to say that I enjoyed todays lecture especially the discussion on comprehending words on there own. I completely agree that to learn a definition you need to hear the word in a a paragraph. I know that when I read a book and I dont know a word I sometimes will skip the word and look a the text around it before I look up the definition. I can understand that when you write down text it can be just repetition and when you assign reading it can feel like a chore. I hope to bring so much into a classroom and I cant wait!
Author Profile----(Beverly Clearly) Ms. Ramona Quimby !! How amazing is this character. I currently am taking a course where I have to do a milestone journal of my kid and give examples of different events and my childs social, cognitive and psychological development. I chose the book character Ramona, she is my generations Junie B Jones. Beverly Clearly is an amazing author I have read Ribsy, Dr Mr. Henshaw,Ramona the Pest, Ramona the Brave and The Mouse and the Motorcycle. Beverly Clearly has over 25 books and amazing characters that all linked together in her books. Henry Huggins, Ramona and Beezus Quimby and Ralph the mouse. Beverly Clearly grew up on a small farm in Yamhill. After college she was a librarian. A young boy asked her "Where are the books about kid like me?" Her first book was Henry Huggins. Her books and characters really capture children's' childhood. Beverly Clearly has won many awards and her books are a great classic.
