PURPOSE OF THIS BLOG





This blog is intended to communicate my personal experiences this semester. Each blog entry represents an area of education linked directly to student motivation. Within these blogs, you will find references to course texts:

Beach, R. et al. (2006). Teaching Literature to Adolescents. Mahwah: Lawrence Erlbaum Assoc. Labeled (TL) in blog references.

Appleman, D. (2000). Critical Encounters in High School English: Teaching Literary Theory to Adolescents. Columbia University: Teachers College. Labeled (CE) in blog references.

These blog entries also include quotes, personal reflections, and experiences unique to the Crosswinds practicum:

Livingston, T. Crosswinds English Teacher. Observed September to November 2008.

References are also made to discussions during our course this semester:

Relax, read, and be ready to motivate!
