       First preview of the book. I questioned if I would enjoy reading the book because of the pictures and how it referred to middle school life. My head started the questioning process on what could be happening. As I began to read and my heart and love for the book began to grow and grow. My heart strings pulled as the main character went and experienced trails and tribulations.       I learned immediately that I personally have some biases and opinions I make about things. First thing I notice was  I loved reading the book. The character development grew and developed into a positive direction. It hit my senses immediately to remain open and optimist for progression.       The first thing I would do with my students would be to have material focused on their age range. I also will gives trick/methods for books to be reviewed. Also, ways we can read together alone and those when we read out-loud. The reading out loud w...

 How do you see what you read, in your mind's eye? Reading opens your mind. Reading creates a movie inside of your brain that allows thoughts to flow. The first book I read that opened my mind to a entire new way of thinking. Was the "Lord Of The Rings," I must admit at first I assumed I would hate the book or whatever I was reading. However, as I continue to read. The book was so refreshing and it opened up a brand new perspective. Reading opens the minds to worlds we did not know existed. How do you respond to confusion or difficulty? I seek clarity first by asking multiple questions. My first step is to ask questions and gain as much information as possible before. I make a decision; this allows me to ensure that all of the information allows me to hear from multiple perspective. I must admit when I get difficulty I tend to lean in and address it to get the difficulty resolved. What kinds of feelings are often generated as you read? I do have opinions and thoughts on w...

 1. What could you read if you wanted a real challenge something you could understand, but, that would you work?      Science, History, or Non-fiction challenges my  perspective. The first reason is it requires you to learn something that may seem unusual or not common information. For example, I am currently reading, "Orders to Kill." This book breaks down the Martin Luther King Jr Assassination and how he was assigned killings three years before his actual death. This book was transformational and the information was new and very throughly detailed. Changing my mentally and emotionally. 2. Who knows what you're reading right now? Who do you sometimes think about telling about your books? Who gives you recommendations? Whose reading do you wonder about?     I am currently reading, "The Highly Sensitive Person," this book details on how we all are very different on emotional levels. It breaks down how this goes into play as children. I tell my books to...

       My experiences during my six through twelve years in school. My experiences are negative; based off of the material being pushed and forced upon me. I never felt like any books, stories, or information seem meaningful towards me. As I look back I never noticed how much that had an affect on me and my potential learning style.     The first book I read and opened me up mentally was "The Autobiography Of Malcom X," this book was giving to me. By a  principal name Mr. Harris (My mentor) who pushed reading on me. He stressed that books are the gateway to learning and understanding. The two people who have had the most positive impact are Mr. Harris and Mr. Nicolas. The positive things these two educators did was challenge me to read and challenge me to do better. I personally never had anyone stress the value of education on me. My mindset at the time was sports and going D1. I never had someone stress academics or even mention to me why it is so im...
