1 Halloween 2012 Me as Lenny from Of Mice and Men Denver Football Game December 2012 Me with Matthew Whitwell Teaching respect is not enough, you need to embody it. Gabriella Avallone "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." Dr. Seuss In life, it s not where you go-- but who you travel with. From the bottom of a Charlie Brown Cartoon Becoming a teacher would mean a great deal to me. It would mean that I will have accomplished one of my life goals. Teaching has always been in me, I used to play teacher with my best friend growing up. I helped her with everything she struggled with in school and to this day it still happens. I have always been the person people come to for help with writing papers or just needing someone to look over their paper if they needed a fresh eye to catch any mistakes. Helping people has always been a passion of mine and all I ever get in return is the AH HA look when something finally clicks and they understand whatever was troubling them, and that will forever be all I need to keep fueling my love of teaching. ~Gabriella Avallone
2 Teaching It was a day like any other when I walked into the home of my babysitter one summer around the year I had done the same action hundreds of times before but sitting in the living room with my now best friend, Kristin, began my teaching career. We were just sitting there playing house when I decided that she was doing it wrong and wanted to play a new game. So I stood up and began to rearrange everything so it looked more like a classroom instead of a kitchen and we started to play teacher. Of course I was the teacher because I have always been a take charge of the situation kind of girl. We acted out a scene from Sesame Street. I am pretty sure it was the episode where Elmo was trying to figure out how different people felt happy in different ways, so my instructions to Kristin were to tell me how she gets happy and act it out. But, she could not just smile and laugh, she did not get the assignment at first so, being the teacher I hope to be one day, I swallowed my pride and I just started to dance around and have fun. Kristin could see what I was doing made me happy and she then understood. She got up went into the cupboard got crayons and paper and began to draw. It was a very simple act of drawing a sun in the corner and flowers on the paper but her face lit up and exceptionally happy. I know that is not a normal example of playing teacher growing up but seeing Elmo and the other characters on Sesame Street that day looking so happy just made something inside me want to make sure Kristin got the same meaning out of that episode. No matter what it may be, if it makes you happy, then go ahead and do it. And to remember to only color on paper because her happiness spread to the walls and since she was having so much fun, the teacher abandoned her post and joined her pupil by grabbing a crayon and enjoying our new assignment of making a mural of flowers on the living room wall. When her mom came in from the family room and saw
3 our assignment was complete, she gave us our next assignment, a time out because we were not supposed to let our happiness spread to the wall. Go figure. The past may have been where I started my life goal of becoming a teacher just by trying to find what made my best friend happy, but what is a goal if there are no plans to set everything in motion. What do I want to share with my future students? That is a great question, I would want to share with them that reading is a great deal of fun. When a student can grab a book, cannot put it down, and lose all track of time that is one of the best things that can happen to a student. Time sometimes feels like it is moving way to fast and what needs to happen is for students or whoever really, to just sit down and read a book, just get lost in its pages for a while. Another idea I would love to get across to my students is that everyone has an opinion and everyone has the right to share that opinion without getting laughed at or feeling embarrassed. One thing that I want to stress in my classroom is that all students have the right to be heard and to ask questions. No one should feel embarrassed about whatever s/he has to say. I would basically love to create a safe environment where students can be free to talk about the assignment and show how they feel. As a classroom we should be there for each other because everyone needs the chance to be heard and to feel respected. I want to teach my students how to draw out their imaginations and translate what they are thinking to paper. A unique way to do this would be to immediately write down what they think about the reading assignment after they have finished reading or if they cannot put what they are thinking into words have them draw. Once this is done, they can then begin their writing assignment. This is just a way to have some of the assignments student based so they feel they have a say in some of the work that is produced in the class. Of course, not all of the assignments will be student based, I will have to step in there and teach them new ways to write and the
4 different aspects of writing. But, if they have more choices in which assignment or project they want to do, hopefully, they can get excited about them. Something else I would want to integrate into my classroom is different kinds of projects. Much like the multi-genre projects, this is where a student can do anything from writing a paper to making a CD as long as it is relevant to the readings their imagination can explode. Group projects and discussions is another way to break up the day so they do not have to listen to me lecture all class long. The main thing I hope to see in my future students is excitement to learn something; it does not have to be anything about English. But I just want to see drive in their eyes and not dull lifeless ones that have just showed up to school that day because their parents made drove them. As a teacher, I will do whatever is in my power to make sure I stay positive, keep a safe environment, and stay up with new ideas so I do not bore my students to tears. I hope to instill that learning can be fun in the same way Elmo inspired me to become a teacher just by finding what makes me happy.
5 Unit: Fantasy Literature Class: Adolescent Literature 1 Instructor: Gabriella Avallone Dates: Spring 2014 March 3-28 The Rationale: Adolescent Literature 1 is a course that will challenge students to look at different types of writings. It will take them from poetry through novels and then ending up with graphic novels. The intention is to introduce as many different types of writing that can be introduced in one semester. Adolescent Literature is important for everyone to read no matter how old because it introduces raw topics. Topics such as kids dealing with death, bullies, and mental or physical deficiencies, Adolescent Literature is a way for students to see that they are not the only ones going through tough times. Through this type of genre it will show how different cultures and people deal with hard issues and hopefully this will open student s eyes to think before they act. The Summary: Students will read Miss Peregrine s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs. They will then discuss the idea of belonging, setting, the idea of fantasy as a genre, and relatable characters. Daily they will discuss the book with classmates on the basis of how the book relates to their life and how it relates to the world as a whole. Next the students will then be asked to do a Multi-Genre Project where they will interpret the book individually and show me their representation of the book through this project. Essential Questions: Can fantasy be related back to the real world? How do the character(s) relate to the students personally? Literacy Strategies: Daily reflection Brainstorming from the different pieces of art work individually and as a class Interdisciplinary (connecting English with: art, science, history, and music) Objectives: Craft and Structure CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in the text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone (e.g., how the language evokes a sense of time and place; how it sets a formal or informal tone). CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL Analyze how an author s choices concerning how to structure a text, order events within it (e.g., parallel plots), and manipulate time (e.g., pacing, flashbacks) create such effects as mystery, tension, or surprise. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL Analyze a particular point of view or cultural experience reflected in a work of literature from outside the United States, drawing on a wide reading of world literature. Integration of Knowledge and Ideas
6 CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL Analyze the representation of a subject or a key scene in two different artistic mediums, including what is emphasized or absent in each treatment (e.g., Auden s Musée des Beaux Arts and Breughel s Landscape with the Fall of Icarus). (RL not applicable to literature) CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL Analyze how an author draws on and transforms source material in a specific work (e.g., how Shakespeare treats a theme or topic from Ovid or the Bible or how a later author draws on a play by Shakespeare). Range of Reading and Level of Text Complexity CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL By the end of grade 9, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poems, in the grades 9-10 text complexity band proficiently, with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range. By the end of grade 10, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poems, at the high end of the grades 9-10 text complexity band independently and proficiently. By the end of grade 10, read and comprehend literature, including stories, dramas, and poems, at the high end of the grades 9 10 text complexity band independently and proficiently. Length of Curriculum: Four weeks, meeting two or three times a week, for 50 minutes Materials and Resources: School- (1) copies of Miss Peregrine s Home for Peculiar Children (2) Access to different Databases to help with the final Multi-Genre Project (3) Printing ability Me- examples of art work from (1) the book and (2) time periods discussed in the book Student- (1) Computer access (2) Writing supplies (ex.) pens, pencils, notebooks, journals, loose-leaf Assessment: Formative: o Daily reading reflections o Draft work and peer reviews o Quizzes Summative: o Multi-Genre Project o Final Paper Recommendation: Students come to class willing to learn something new with an open mind be ready for whatever the day may bring and to put forth a positive attitude.
