Assignment 1 &2 - book finally arrived

like this book so far. Really enjoyed the authors tales of pivotal moments. My own adolescent experiences pale in comparison after reading those. I'm glad I wrote my autobiography before reading that chapter. It made for an uninfluenced perspective.

I don't think my own definition of an adolescent changes after reading the first two chapters.

I'm excited about the reading coming up. I felt my teacher training really lacked in reading instruction. I fumbled my way through in my first years. I took some phonemic awareness training that helped me know how to teach a child to read all the way through multi-syllable rules, etc. Teaching reading strategies to older kids is an area I hope to become much better at. I'm looking forward to the upcoming chapters for this.
