Assignment One Update

Hello Everyone,
I am still trying to negative through this research process. I have found and I am grateful that by doing the literature review and matrix that I do have better since of what will be required for the literature review section of the research process. I have stated previously that I am overwhelmed by the research process nonetheless, I am determined that I am going to be successful in obtaining my Masters degree in Teaching. This process has caused me to ponder and think if I will go forth and continue on to obtain my PHD and for once in my life I do see that at as possibility. Thus, it is my hope that this process will take me from being afraid to proceed to equipping to be able to obtain my PHD in education. Though this process has somewhat empowered me I am still frustrated and anxious regarding the technical difficulties I am have encounter in trying to complete my assignments.
I have tried for the past two weeks to submit my assignment only to find that the links have disappeared or have been removed. Because I am a person who wants to finish all of my assigned work on time, I find myself constantly trying to calm myself down and talk myself down into knowing these things will work themselves out and I will be successful despite the current perspective or outcomes. In addition, because the link is no longer available I cannot fully remember what this assignment calls for and thus I feel like I am just rambling and wasting my time trying to complete a blog assignment that I do not know if I am completing correctly. Nonetheless, I am still finding these assignments to be tedious and painstaking thus, completing them has become a chore that I have found myself to be putting off for the last minute to complete. I am stating to wonder if all of the snow is having an impact on my studies habits that I have not encountered before and must learn to overcome. I find myself constantly lifting up prayers of guidance as I am not sure if I am completing my assigned tasked correctly.

The first respond that came to my mind when reading the articles responses to the concerns found in reading literacy in secondary education was the old adage, “It wasn’t me”. I think a lot of teachers simply are overwhelmed by this issue and do not know how to approach in the classroom. I would agree with the article that the math and the science teacher for example, do not feel it’s their duty to address student reading. But at the same time will agree that educating our students is a universal duty and concern. I would suggest that instead of trying to simple place blame on the teacher or teachers that came before that teacher make a concentrated effort to be more proactive in the classroom. For example, that math and science teacher could not just assign weekly vocabulary words for students to define but make an effort to properly pronounce those words and give more opportunities for students to read, write and use those words in a sentence. I also, think that a lot of times so of those activities or exercise that we deem as being geared solely of the primary levels are worth revisiting at times at the secondary levels when the need presents itself.
