Alice and Wonderland

In the fourth grade study of Alice and Wonderland I believe that this piece of writing is the approach that I as a teacher would take with my students. In the reading it is literacy and visual literacy. The piece by Nicole Stringman was to me more so of an interview rather than a story. Stringman would ask Monica Edinger the fourth grade teacher a question about what methods she used for allow her students to understand the story and she would then reply.
The methods that Edinger used is proof that students who have literacy troubles can still learn and grasp the information that is being taught. As a future educator I am learning that you can not just have one way of teaching and expect that everyone of your students will learn this way. Every child has a unique way of understanding material and as a teacher you should accomodate to it to assure that each child does their best.

 Most students who have trouble reading are usually really sussesful in other subjects. Reality is you need reading skills to get through life, so as an educator it is your job to find some way to allow students to understand the readings. The way Edinger allows the students to engage in Alice and Wonderland proves that reading can be fun to everyone just in different forms of reading.
During this piece of reading the context and format was interview.Stingman would ask a question and Edinger would reply in detail. both participants were really into what was being ask and what was being answered. I believe that both particpant were very into the conversation.
As a future teacher I plan on getting every one of my studnet involved in what I am teaching. I like how Edinger allowed the students to draw up pictures and make puppets of the story. To me the confirmed that the students understood what was being taught
