Blog Week 6

The article is talking about teachers need to personalize their teaching to engage students in the classroom. The Author believes that if the teacher will personalize their teaching styles, the classroom will run smoother and the proficiency of students will increase. They mention using guides used by other teachers, games, interactives, and videos. This article is helpful because it lists links for teachers to follow to get some ideas of how to implement this new idea into a classroom. The article also mentions that once the teacher has set up a new program, it will be less stress on the teacher. The weakness of this article is that it doesn’t use any insanely solid facts or sources to back up their claims.

Blog 5- Argument and Audience

              In this article, they use the argument that parents have a major impact on their students education. When parents are involved in their children’s studies and classroom, they can encourage their children to get engaged in their education. This also gives parents the perfect opportunity to see their children in the classroom first hand and know how to help their children succeed. They mention that the best way for parents to help their children is by creating a good environment at home and encouraging their students to learn. To prove their credibility, they used sources from appropriate studies from Ingram, Lieberman, and Wolfe. The audience is directed to teachers on how to best help their students learn from parents at home. The audience is stated when the author introduces himself as a person who cares about children and wants to help solve the gap between parent involvement in education.

              This article talked about engaging students by working through dead time. Dead time is when kids stop paying attention and “zone out” so to speak. The article gives 10 reasons to help involve students in classrooms. Some of these include mind warm-ups, student collaboration, mixing up teaching styles, and create team work tactics in a classroom. The audience for this article is obviously towards teachers. It is explaining to teachers what they can do to keep their student engaged in lessons and help them find ways to better their teaching skills. An example of this audience is in the introduction of thee article. The author writes about how normal it is for teachers to physically see their students zone out and fall into that dead time of a lesson. This specifically states who the audience is, and gets teachers hooked into the article because it is something that all teachers have experienced before.
