The+Essence+of+Field+Placement

media type="youtube" key="ywYTyimc3OU?fs=1" height="385" width="640" The way in which I chose to capture the essence of my experience at Bruce Randolph was through short video that highlights what elements of my cooperating teachers classroom. I begin with myself as the observer then transitioning into the different aspects of the class. The students were highly engaged in reading multiple pieces of literature throughout the semester. One in particular was the novel __Speak__ by Laurie Halse Anderson. In addition to this they were religious about maintaining a journal covering personal issues as well as demonstrating their reading strategies. They were especially proud of the way they could employ the use of literary terms. I was observing this class 4 days a week and each day Detention was always a hot topic. However, the students were a really great bunch and on of the goals my cooperating teach had was to do what ever she could to foster a community based environment in which their community language was English.
