Brown Chapters 1-2

After looking through chapter one, I realized how much choice the teacher has and the adaptions that we will be making in the classroom to accomodate all of the students. Ms. Lee's lesson plan was described as a good lesson and at the same time raised the question of are lesson plans ever perfect? I feel that as a future educator we need to make sure that we continue to try new things and realize that maybe there are not perfect lessons. It was interesting to see what a typical lanaguge lesson looked like. It's exciting to know that in a short time, we will have our own classrooms. 

The second chapter by Brown gave us a good idea of the pedagogic methods that are being used. I noticed that many students were raising the question of what is the most effective method of teaching. Personally, I think that there is not one perfect way to teach a lesson. We have to keep in mind that every student learns differently and what may work for one student may not be working for another student. Teachers are unique in the fact that they have their own teaching ways and mannerisms. I think that becoming familiar with pedagogic methods that can get us on our feet for teaching in our own classrooms will be very important. As we begin to develop our own teaching methods, it is important for us to try these things first hand in the classroom. As we begin to develop our own teaching persona, the more observations and methods that we learn about the easier it will be to avoid making mistakes or trying something that has been proven not to work.

How do we go about choosing a pedagogic method, or do we have to choose? I would like to see an multi incorporated method of teaching.
