About ME!

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.
