Week 6

After thinking all week about what I was going to do for my multigenre research paper, I have now come to the conclusion that I am going to write about vegetarianism. I myself have been a vegetarian for the past four years and I am always asked "Why did you decide to become a vegetarian?", or "is that hard? I could never do that."I am hoping that by writing this paper and presenting all of the facts, I can help people to understand why I would make a lifestyle choice like that. Aside from the paper, I have been looking forward to observing an active writer's workshop this next week for our field observation. I think that although I remember doing it in elementary school, it will be a great refresher and will also help me to better understand how to apply all of the skills and tips we have been learning in our cluster classes. I also need to choose a child to kidwatch so I can start recording that student in class. I am still unsure who I want to select, but I'm thinking of one child who seems really intelligent, but also seems to get worked up really easily when he is stressed in the least. I think he will be really interesting to observe, and I feel like I can learn a lot of ways to work with his learning needs by learning more about his learning habits.
