Week 4 Blog Post 1: Reading Giving Way to Passion

From:

My Response:
I would like to sum up what I believe the author is saying. Stay unencumbered. Get out from behind the roadblocks that we set up for ourselves and the roadblocks that others set up. After you get rid of the roadblocks then you can then dive fully into your passion. Whatever that may be.

Hunter, It seems that all educators have moments of holding back, and hanging on to the familiar. I like your word, "unencumbered". I also like the idea you express about getting out from behind the "roadblocks". In my first grade classroom, we learn about reading roadblocks. We learn a number of strategies that can help a reader get around any reading roadblock. The three most basic questions are: Does it look right? Does it sound right? Does it make sense? Using specific strategies along with these three questions, a good reader can move himself or herself along any road to reading. Educators need to employ a variety of strategies when working to follow their passions in the classroom. Stay true to the mission. Engage the possibility for students. Do what you love and you will love what you do. These are just a few good suggestions I might make to you and others. Thanks for your post.....and for Tatooine!
