Tomorrow I start a Maymester class, which is an intense three week course that is required for my graduate program. It is about teaching reading to adolescents. This first assignment for this class is as follows:
"I would like to begin this course by asking you to bring along to our first class some artifacts to share. Creating and sharing these will help us to reflect on our personal literacy and begin to know each other.
1. a photo that shows the people, pets, places you will miss the most while you are with us--your significant beings.
2. a literacy shoebox or bag filled with artifacts which show who you are as a reader, writer and learner.
a.) two significant items from your present literate life--who you are now as a reader and writer. What do you read, write, and why?
b.) 2 significant items from your past as a reader and writer that connect to who you are now and how you feel about literacy.
c.) a significant something you have read this year
d) a piece of writing you love--it could be yours or something you read (a letter, an article, something you especially value)
In addition to this literacy shoebox or bag, I ask that you bring with you three definitions for “reading.” "
THIS ASSIGNMENT IS FOR A GRADUATE CLASS.
I don't have a whole lot to say, I think the assignment says it all. Below is a picture of my shoebox, filled with sarcastic choices for my literary life. WB is not impressed either.

Vomit. So she's going to teach you like she's teaching adolescents so you learn how to teach the same way? Sounds like it's going to be such a treat! I plan on checking out all of your assignments, btw.
