3321 Historical Fiction
What is historical fiction?How can we use it in the classroom?
Historical fiction are stories that are based on the past history. Importantly the setting created in this stores must go with the time of the story. Characters don't have to be real, but the dialectic, clothing and other features of the past must go with its appropriate time.
I would like to use historical fiction during history class. I think that stories from the past well give the children a better understanding of the events that happen any why? Readers theater, with historical fiction would give the children more of the ideas of how the past use to be. I think I'm going to enjoy this way of teaching history.

Contemporary realistic fiction are stories that could happen in the world as we see it today by using real characters, settings, and plots.
With this genre we can teach students respect, cause and effect and writing autobiography's. We could have the students before class or after class write a journal about events of their life in school or at home. Students can make their journal personal and only share with the class bits of information that has been written and use the journal for practice as a habit to write things down during the day. I think that contemporary realistic fiction writing and reading are going to be a little easier for students sense most of the events written happen everyday. I cant pay attention when a move all of a sudden has aliens and spaceships.

I like Dr.Seuss poems. He uses non words allot and it;s very important for students to learn these types of words. He also repeats his words and after a while you could read the poems without looking at the words. I like" The Cat In The Hat" and "Who Are You, Sue Snue?"
With Who Are You, Sue Snue? I could have the children think of who or what they want to do when they grow up. This book makes them think about their future and hopefully keep them focus on continuing their education. In this book their are a lot of nonsense words, rhyming, and repetition. I didn't know how important nonsense words are but have figured it out he hard way. My daughter was having trouble reading and just on Thursday they told me she is dyslexia and one of her troubles in reading was nonsense words.

poem
Sleepless night just watching him breath,
I don't want nothing happening to him,
What will he do, what will he be, when he grows up and away from me,
A handsome father, lawyer or doctor,
I remember his smell, hands and feet,
Now he's the big boy and wants to be free,
I cant imagine at the age of thirteen,
I cant even let go and his only three,
Time flies and doesn't seem to slow down,
One day he will be gone,
Loving his children and asking himself why?
Why time has to fly?
To my baby boy Julian, who wakes up with a broken leg every morning so I can carry him all morning long and in to his class room.
I don't want nothing happening to him,
What will he do, what will he be, when he grows up and away from me,
A handsome father, lawyer or doctor,

I cant imagine at the age of thirteen,
I cant even let go and his only three,
Time flies and doesn't seem to slow down,
One day he will be gone,
Loving his children and asking himself why?
Why time has to fly?
To my baby boy Julian, who wakes up with a broken leg every morning so I can carry him all morning long and in to his class room.

What is modern fantasy?
Modern fantasy is literature that is set in the real world, but the author has altered one or more characteristics of everyday reality.
Design a unique activity for your book , describe it? name, directions, steps.
I grew up with so many monster stories I was really scared of almost everything. Even as an adult I'm scared to have my foot or hand hanging out of the bed because I'm scared someone is going to grab it. Right now my 3 yr old says that chucky is under the bed and in his drawers. He talks about Michael Myers and he's never seen these movies but the older kids tell him stuff. It was funny because everyone in the house was exited on Friday the thirteen and my 3yr old would go around running Michael Jackson, Michael Jackson the kids would laugh and tell him no silly its Michael Myers.

Talk is the ability to communicate instruction and information to another person.
Talk is benefical in a classroom because speaking outloud and to peers helps comprehend information.We need to talk to also have the right pronunciation of words.I think we need to practice more talking in school to push the students to become more independent and learn how to carry themself.
Students can have discussion during math. There are many rules and sometimes students remember some better than others. The student could then check or ask her group by engagging conversation and with practice be successful in math. Debates in Social studies is another way to incorporate talk. For example ask if they ageree with battles and segregation. Ask how they feel about what people during these eras had to go through. Talking is very easly to engage yet its going to be hard for me to try to keep them with the topic. First we need to insure that there is no right or wrong answer. Second make them feel comfortable and third encourage them by having them talk alittle about themselves to get confidence. Speaking in a known environment is much better then speaking in a strange completely dark environment.

Traditional Literature
Traditional literature are childbase stories told from generation to generation.
Teaching traditional literature in classes is really a great opportunity to introuced the simple, basic fundamentals of life. Children learn that struggling against diffculties is unavoidable, but they can emerge victoriously if they directly confront harships. Traditonal stories allow children to learn about human progress and possible solutions to problems.They gain the conviction that crime dosent pay.
We could useTraditional stories in our classrooms as models to explain why we need enforce rules. I can also use them as motivational tools, for example the " The Hare and the Tortoise". With this story I can explain to the students that anything is possible if they dont give up and keep trying. I am going to use traditional stories in the class room. I have learned and read so many books this past week. I think I would of liked to of had someone introduced this books to me as a child. These stories open door to imagination and I think that is very important in students to promote writing.

1. What are picture books? When can you use them? How? Are there any limitations?
Picture books are book that have illustration some don't have word s but other do and they reflects on what the story is about. They have to be concurrent with each other.We can use picture books before we have journal entries, so that child's mind can start thinking of ideas and remembering events that they have been through to make their writing more smother. Their is always limitation to almost everything, in this case it is good to have the children think up / imagine their own pictures in their mind. They say that in this age in time our children are growing up without out an imagination and don't have the same creativity and appreciation that children that did have an imagination.
2. How do you evaluate or select picture books? What is the process? The most important in choosing a picture book is that the are accurate the pictures should have something doing with the story.
3. Personal views on picture books? Like? dislike? Why?
I like picture books, I like knowing how the character of the book looks like and what a certain animal look like or what is a certain item that the book refers to. What I don't like is that I would prefer to look at the pictures other than reading it.

1.Define listening types ?Give personal examples.
There are four listing types discriminative: Pick/chose based on interest (Bold Face).
aesthetic: reading out loud/pleasure/SSR
efferent: information/taking notes
critical: listing carefully/debate
Discriminative: When I am cleaning the house I have the TV on and when I hear something that I need to see I'll go watch it then go on with my chores.
Aesthetic:When I read bedtime books to the kids.
Efferent: During class I take notes to remember what the lesson was about.
Critical: Last week at the hospital I had to pay close attention to the instruction the doctor was telling to care for my son who sprang his foot.
2.What was the most challenging part of the debate? Why? what aspect of listening did you use? Explain with details?
The most challenging part of the debate for me was trying to find the right words to use.
It is difficult to have a quick response, but some people are quick on their toes. I think we used critical listening. We had to pay close attention to their response so we could defend ourselves.
3. Finish reading Ch. 2 Choice Words which teach talk is important to you? Why?
I think I liked "What are you noticing", with this question we can keep the children's attention in what we are doing and also have a better understanding if they are keeping up with the lesson/subject. I often wonder off but when I am called on or if the teacher ask a question it brings me back to paying attention. Its also amazing how we all think differently and sometimes we learning seeing other peoples point of view.

2. Capable writers; write for the audience purpose and use appropriate form. They have a goal in writing utilizing the writing process as self assess using differentiated between genres.
3321question 2
2. Write 2 activities that a student can do in a class room with both multicultural and international books.
The activities that I would like to do in a class room for both multicultural and international literature is role playing. I think it would be fun to make (draw) costumes and play scenery and have a play in the class room. We can also write a different ending to a particular story or make a book about our (student) culture.Maybe about a folks tale that has been told in our family ( I know my grandma has told us many). There are lots of things that happen in once neighborhood that can become stories.

Poem to my whole number
My dear whole number,
Amor, we stand side by side in the number line,
without you my life is incomplete
I am a broken integer when we don't calculate,
I am the perfect square when I am by your side,
I cant wait until we have our mathematical miracles,
little three, baby eight and Timmy ten,
I thank our creators, Archimedes, Brahmagupta and Newton,
I have to part my love, war in the front line ain't no matrix,
the roots of our expressions have taken a difference in denominator's,
The metric system is hot on our perimeter,
They have radius our diameter,
I cant wait until I get out of this prism to be by your line,
good bye my love,
Square Root

1. What is international literature?How is it different from multicultural literature ? Why is it important to have in class room?
International literature are books that have been publish and written in another country. These stories have been written in another language and later translated for others to read. International literature is different from multicultural because the stories were written to their people from their people. Most popular stories could be myth, legends, and folktales. These are stories that happen to the people in certain countries and they might relate to them. The multicultural stores are stories that identify a certain culture with detail. To be an authentic multiculturalism the writer should be from the culture or have some creditability of the knowledge of the culture. I would say he had to have spend a sufficient amount of time in the culture to write about it as if he was apart of it.
It is important to have International and Multicultural books in the classroom because not everyone in America is from the same culture. For example: It would be nice to know why Linda prays in silent every time she get up from her chair. We need to teach our children to think out- side the box and show them through literature what other students in the world are doing or thinking. We learn to be better people when we see what others don't have. Our prospectives of life change once we learn to understand that we are all unique. I believe it is very special and important to see others as the self individual that they are.

Briefly discuss the reading and writing process? What? How it connects?
Reading is a process that we can negotiate and interpreted meaning in a creative way. when we read we have some key features of process:
stage 1 Pre reading
stage 2 Reading
stage 3 Responding
stage 4 exploring
stage 5 applying
The writing process :
Drafting
Revision
Editing
Publishing
Reading and writing connect because its a stage of life. We first learn how to listen, speak, read, and then write.
Tell your personal writing experience in relation to writing process?
I don't like writing because I don't like making drafts. I would like to just write a paper one time and save all that time. Unfortunately I know how important it is for us to draft and revise our papers. When I go back to read my writing papers I sometimes don't understand what I was trying to say. I some times think of different ideas that I would like to say and end up adding more views in my papers. I know how important it is to pre read and revise papers but I just need to make more time to do so.

1. Describe how to effectively evaluate books for children. Is this a value based?
To effectively evaluate a book for children we need to first understand how the book is going to effect the child's life. In other words we need to choice a book that we can learn from, age appropriate and meaningful. I would like for the children in the class room to have a range of different books and learn more than one way to solve a problem. Books have so many meaning and different interpretations and sometimes many parents don't understand how or why a school would have certain books in their library's. I respect what the people above me have chosen for our library's but I also understand that I as a future educator have to go back and read the book to see if there isn't anything in the present time that a particular book could have a consequence on. I think that this is a value base. Even thou I respect all the books out there. Some books don't have any value nor respect. Children should be children and we as adults need to help them shares every piece of their childhood and respect the stages of life.
Why do character/setting analysis on children book? Purpose? what did it accomplish?
Character/setting are important in books. Take out the character and setting in any book it becomes difficult to read and understand Children sometimes get in the book they are reading by either putting them self in the charter or by remembering being at a similar setting at one time.
To effectively evaluate a book for children we need to first understand how the book is going to effect the child's life. In other words we need to choice a book that we can learn from, age appropriate and meaningful. I would like for the children in the class room to have a range of different books and learn more than one way to solve a problem. Books have so many meaning and different interpretations and sometimes many parents don't understand how or why a school would have certain books in their library's. I respect what the people above me have chosen for our library's but I also understand that I as a future educator have to go back and read the book to see if there isn't anything in the present time that a particular book could have a consequence on. I think that this is a value base. Even thou I respect all the books out there. Some books don't have any value nor respect. Children should be children and we as adults need to help them shares every piece of their childhood and respect the stages of life.

Traditionaly tribes would tell stories around campfires. For many years and in many parts of the world. Story telling is a big part of or life. We learn the cause and effect in why things are done in a certain way. Stories teach faith, hope and wisdom. In Europe children were considered young adults. Also in European oral tration they often lictured on castles and cottages. The French introduced "Cinderella". They story told about "happy ever after", the poorest most humble person always ended up happy at the end. Trying to influnce ones behavior. The first book was published in 1450s by Johannes Gutenberg. William Caxton also opened a printing business but his book where alittle expensive for common people. In the 17th century Charles Perrault published "Tales of mother Goose". He was the first writer to understand that children had a special bond with fairy tales. By the end of the 1740s people realized that children should be children rather than small adults.
As a personal connection literature, has been a part of our past and future way of life. Today in America more specifically in west side of San Antoinio we have writers coming from the Barrios writing the experiance and life style of a regular child from that time. We the people who grew up there at that same time understand the life style and the saddness and troubles from this place. There are many success stories from poor people who have made it big and we all like to belive it could happen to us someday too.
This information applies in in the class room because it helps me understand that we can make a differance in a child life. Opportunities and success dossent just happen to anyone we place the children and push them to be successful and give them the opportunity to be taught in an enviorment were both student and teacher are working to have a better future and life style.

Chapter 4
It is very important as an educator to understand that a child ability to read or write has to do with a childs personal background. If the child parents dont know how to read and write we can't espect for the child to be a great reader or writer. The child will be a slower learner but with the understanding and proper education he/she will learn to read and write. Most literacy is experienced in poor and middle class families. Children first learn to recognize a symbol before the can recognize aword. Sometimes as parents we confuse this and assume they could read. The child learns to write when he/she picks up a color and scribbles on the walls. Thier concept of writing for fun or by sharing thier feeling on pictures. Phonemic awareness in child is one of the best ways that a child learns first. The repeating of songs and rhyms make it easier for them to understand the ability of reading.
In a personal connection this chapter taught me how important my job as a mother is in setting good examples to the children. The most important thing I learn is that it is'nt to late to start incorporating this ideas with them. Education is the steping stone to our children's future and if i could help concrete the first step sorrectly they will have a stronger foundation.
This material applies to the class room in understanding that not all child are have the same dackground in reading and writing and that as an elementary teacher our challenge is to not just teach but to make them understand and incorporate into everyday learning.

a. How do students learn?
Students learn in many different ways. There are musical, logical, existential, interpersonal, kinesthetic, intrapersonal, naturalist, verbal and visual learners. Most children learn by expression.
To have a child learn in a class room, it's going to be very important to figure out early on what learning method they are. 12 years ago I took the MI test and it said I was a kinesthetic learner. This time around I was an intrapersonal which I don't agree at all.
b. What are the 6 components of language arts?How does teaching language arts connect to how children learn?
The 6 components are listening, talking, reading, writing, viewing and visually. Teaching language arts connects to learn because they all fall into the way each child learn. For example: talking for our musical children, visually for the visual learners, writing for kinesthetic, and so on. Most of the components overlap each other which is almost effective in lesson planning.
I found it very interesting and helpful learning the 6 language arts. How to incorporate all is going to be a challenge because at the end of the day we want our students to go home and tell someone what exciting learning experience they learn that day in school.

a. Give a brief summary of chapter 1.
Chapter 1 was about values, child development, language development, personality development and social development. Values I believe change from family, culture, and even gender. Child development; a child must pass through these stages to reach maturity. 1. Language development 2. cognitive development 3. personality development 4. social development.
b. Values, What is a value? What value is important to you & why? Where did you learn this value? Can you teach this value? How do you?
A value is a principle or standard, what is important in life. I cant just point out one value being more important then another one. I start thinking about them more in depth and I change my value. I would probably pick wisdom, family, and health as my top three. First of all I would like to be healthy to see my family and become wise. I think we could probably teach some values by being role models. If I eat healthy food so will my children and it lets them know that health is important. A person that has a close family, supports the fact that family is an important value but if they've been abuse or neglected they probably wont think the same. As far as wisdom, I think that we cant teach it. With this value you need to earn it with time and experience.

GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF A TEACHER THAT YOU FEEL WAS A GOOD TEACHER AND WHY?
Mr. Castillo taught college algebra at Palo Alto College. I just really enjoyed his class he explain what purpose each math problem and situation it was used in the real world. I know before I could figure out why we needed to learn the Pythagorean theory and what not. He called use future mathematicians and a t one point I felt I could become a doctor, engineer, or chemist.
I loved his class because i learn math and their was a very good reason why and who use math. I was very interesting in knowing more about Alejandra, all these other people he would mention and read about them. Most of the people he talked about he said the church and others could understand their work and accused them of being crazy and sending them away. After they were died they were like "oh she wasn't cray after all" she was a genius. I still think I would like to go into being a math teacher. Math is a universal language !
