Teaching Language and Composition.

I loved the activity that we did in class today. Dr. Kist bought many spiral notebooks. Each one had a subject written on the front cover. All students picked a notebook and wrote about the topic on the front of the book. I think this is a great activity because it simply gets students writing. I feel that by using this method students will be inclined to write more because they are writing about a topic that personally interests them.

I did go to Walmart tonight and bought some notebooks to do this during my student teaching. I did not get the good ten cent deal Dr. Kist got. I had to pay fifteen cents! Any way, this is a great activity for a teacher to do because it is inexpensive (whether the notebooks be ten or fifteen cents) and fun for students to do.
