Alternative Assignment – Field Experience D
As I was viewing the video for this assignment there is a specific type of literacy that is
used known as disciplinary literacy, but it is still that of literacy. It is a form of literacy that takes
what the students are reading and writing and taking ownership of it. The video does not show
how this is possible in just English, but Math and History as well. From what I have viewed,
assessment is determined by allowing the students to do these things by themselves and do the
actual work and not just a worksheet. As the teachers in the video continue to work with the
students, they notice that the feedback given is mainly from the students. When the students are
engaged in their work it can be seen not just in their assignments but also on their face. From the
video, the impression I received is that the feedback they receive from their teacher is a positive
one and one that pushes the students forward. The information used is not a “all or nothing” type
of thing but something that keeps the students growing according to the video. It is more like,
that is good now let us see how we can improve it.
When it comes to selecting literacy materials, I would most likely utilize a reading list
and with various books that all my students might know. It is then that I would have them vote
on what they would like to read. This gives my students a choice and a say within the classroom.
As for reviewing it for potential bias, I would develop this reading list after the first week of
class. This gives me a chance to develop it based on my students. This also goes for several
assignments as well. I must build my assignments around my students. That is why what it
