C4T Summary for Deb Frazier

C4T #1: Deb Frazier - When I Stopped to listen...

The first blog post of Deb's that I was assigned was very unorganized and seemed to have many different themes. Her main theme, that I could understand, was stopping to listen to your classroom. In her blog, Deb shared her experiences with stopping to listen to her classroom. From her students explaining their feelings after hearing a story to one boys determination to find the book he wanted to after combing through four bins of books. These experiences are very heartfelt and heartwarming, but the meaning seems lost to me as her grammar and punctuation errors cut the flow of the blog post.

C4T #2: Deb Frazier -Celebrate...

The second blog of Deb's that I was assigned to was a very organized post that carried a well thought out and worked through post. In this post, Deb's message was about a student teacher that she was mentoring while in her class. She talks about the advantages, having more than one pair of hands, and the disadvantages, not knowing when you are supposed to let the student teacher take a lead, and explains her thoughts on the good and bad of having a student teacher in your class. I love the way that she explains the way she told Mary Kay, the student teacher, to go from their instructions to actually getting the students to learn and interact with the lesson. While reading Deb's post I found very few grammatical errors and loved her ideas and experiences.
