Since I am running quite behind in my comments for teachers I read several different articles from the month of April and choose three of them to comment on. Bill Ferriter, The Tempered Radical, posted on several different subjects ranging from inappropriate comments made by media personal to poetry to getting middle school boys interested in reading.
I commend Mr. Ferriter for his post about the comedian from CBS that had some not so funny things to say about the mis fortunate Russian boy who was sent back to Russia with only a note explaining why his adoptive mother didn't want him anymore.
Another one of his entry's talks about April being Poetry month and how he is getting his students involved in writing and recording their own poetry. Its nice to see a teacher so interested in a subject he is teaching his students.
The third post that i commented on dealt with getting middle school boys interested in reading. Mr. Ferriter has a great approach that is at the same time self serving. He has his class do silent reading time were for thirty minutes he and his class read silently. Not only does this allow for students to have time to read the stories for their assignments but this also allows for Bill to show how interested in reading he is. Reading is not just for book worms or librarians, real mean read too.
