Module 5

I know I have said this before, but these few chapters were the most interesting to read. I found myself being surprised and amazed more than I have been while reading the previous chapters. Chapter 14 was the chapter that stuck out the most to me within this module. When Woolfolk discusses the topic of homework, my interest grew. I think that I found so much interest in this chapter and this section might be because of my research topic- flipped classroom. While writing my research paper, I had to read a lot about homework and the benefits that it has. I also had to research the negative aspects that homework has which was not mentioned as much within this chapter. Another thing that stood out to me within this chapter was how important the presentation is rather than the actual information. Some teachers put in so much effort in their lesson plans when they really need to focus on how they present it to their students. It is so important to learn what your students like, how they take in information and what interests them. By forming this kind of bond with your students, it allows the teachers to have more success with teaching their students. As I was reading this chapter along with the other ones, I found myself taking many notes to better my future in the education field.

  1. I agree completely...it is almost like the saying says, "It's not what you say, it's how you say it". The most elaborate and detailed lesson plan in the world will not get the concepts across if the delivery is poor. Awesome points!
