I am a student in English 493 as well as a teacher candidate at Eastern Washington University. I have been placed in Reardan Washington in a 10th and 11th grade English class as well as 7th grade history. I am excited to become a teacher and work with young adults. I feel that I relate well students and can understand them well. I am passionate about history and English and can't wait to show students how fun both subjects can be. There is one thing that I do worry about when it comes to me teaching...
I really hate reading out loud! I love to read and I am a good reader. I understand what I am reading when I read to myself but when I am asked to read out loud I have no idea what I am saying and I am thinking about everything but the text I'm reading. The weird thing is that I have no issues with public speaking and I'm not shy; I just hate reading out loud. I have hated reading out loud as long as I can remember. I feel like the letters are moving around and I have to focus so much more to read the words, but I am focused on everything but reading.
My goal for this class is to get a better repertoire of secondary level reading materials. I have read some books but I feel like I lack in this area. I don't recall reading many books in my past for classes.
