EDUC 655
To be perfectly honest, the only thing about this course to which I look forward is concluding it. At this point I do not know if I will be teaching reading next year. (Unfortunately given the budget situation, I will not know the nature of my teaching assignment until August 20). I enjoy reading and enjoy children's literature; however, completing assignments for the purpose of obtaining a degree is nothing to look forward to. Instead I will complete these tasks when I can find the time between jobs and once completed I will be one step closer to concluding this program. Despite tonight's hassles with technology, there is nothing about this course that concerns me as there is no task to perform that I feel is beyond my abilities.

It is hard to imagine any teacher who doesn't incorporate literacy into their classroom. Are you sure the children in your class will not be reading and writing? Or are you saying that you may not be teaching at all? Regardless of the short-term nature of various job situations, if you are going to stay in teaching as a profession, you will be a teacher of literacy! I hope you find that the focus on reading and writing and on the literature-based integrated unit will be applicable to any teaching situation within which you find yourself.
