Week Seven

This week with doing this annotated bibliography I felt very confident with the sources I have used before. I just recently tweaked my research question and narrowed it down to more of the peer reading and keeping these children on a more positive road with reading and fluency. I added a couple more resources that really furthered my knowledge and future teaching skills in the future not only for me but for others. These sources really need to be known because it could really help teachers and their children in the long run. One source that really stood out to me at first made me a little worried because it is based in Korea and not USA, but I think it's one of the best teaching tools I have found yet. I have actually found two really good new tools in both new sources that I used for this assignment, one as simple as opening a book and placing your five fingers on a random page. Tools as simple as that are easy for children to do themselves, along with easy and simple tools just to determine if the difficulty of the book is in range of the student. 
I feel that any fellow teachers or future teachers could really gain great tools and information reading my article and sources. Sometimes just the simple things can make things so much easier, which is always a nice thing when it comes to having to do so much. Leatherby Library I must say as to be my favorite new search engine. Now that I have it down I want to share it with the world because it is absolutely amazing.

  1. I as well found that research from China to have more important information on my topic that was helpful in my research. I found that writing this weeks literature review was quit easy since I had a solid annotated bibliography that had information from each source.
    In your blog you have a connection with your research topic that will make people want to read your research and citation just because you stand high in your opinion. This passion you have will give you the extra push to attract the attention of your readers.

  2. This week was also good for me because, like you, it helped me narrow down my research. I love listening to you open your mind to other countries teaching methods. I think that it’s important to draw good habits and/or methods from ANYWHERE just as long as they are good and work well for students all over. I’m glad to see you so passionate about your topic. Passion should be what drives us. Your passion to teach will help students develop a passion to learn.
