Talk Like A Pirate Book Talk Analysis

Overall the book was a good read and touched on some various topics that are discussed in our class.

When I found out that I had to read and write a paper prior to our first summer class, I was not too thrilled. However, once I began to sit down and immerse myself in this book, I did not find myself putting it down anytime soon. To be honest, I have not read anything like this book before. The work definitely struck me, raised questions, and made me think a lot outside of this book.

What Did You Expect To Learn When You Picked Up The Book? To What Extent – And How Effectively – Were Your Expectations Met?

This novel taught me alot. I loved all of the concepts but practice and purpose had the most effect on me. I will continue to use them in life and never forget

This book was atrocious and wasted a good majority of my life. The body of the book was tedious, but got better as I read. The information presented became more interesting. I started to somewhat like to read it. It was still boring, but was something that I might like to read. As I liked to read it more and more. In the end I still didn’t like to read but it was a bit more standable.

I think that this book has taught me to focus on every little thing, every little habit of quirk someone has, because I may never see it again. I have become more observant of my surroundings and the people I am with. I live life like it is everyone else’s last

I like how you mentioned “meta-lessons” because time is very little and by having meta-lessons it allows teachers ways to add another lesson. I agree with you time is something that concerns me too. When reading I too was very interesting in the assessing Dialogic talk. I know assessing and grading Dialogic talk can be tricky and I am glad the book went over that. Also, I like

It bears mentioning that I care a great deal about excellence in instruction. My pedagogical stance is based in the power of the narrative. Whether I am teaching multivariate statistics, persuasion, research design or social and behavioral attributes of public health—I approach it as though I have a story to tell. I want students to learn, of course, but I also want them to be inspired to be their “best self”. I firmly believe that students are our most valued asset. If students believe the school to be their “home” and the people within the school

Even though I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book, there were some aspects of it that I did not especially care for. The first of these aspects are the sections that are devoted to showing the reader what errors are commonly made in writing a piece of fiction. Although I do see the value in showing a student such things as the dangers of using excessive

Doctor Patrick Clancy was telling how difficult was for him at the beginning of his teaching career. Couldn’t afford many things, but with passion and determination kept going receiving rewarding compliments by his past student’s parents. He believes that in order to be a good teacher, you need to work many hours.

I find the book to be very well written, and appealing, just not appealing to me. Some of the topics such as the use of animals to further the knowledge of the world, I find myself at a standstill between wanting the best education known to man, and the importance of respecting, and protecting animals. However, I am extremely grateful for what I have been able to learn from this

I learned a few facts and tricks from the novel. I also learned new words to add to my vocabulary. If I didn't read this book, I wouldn't know that discombobulate and flummox are synonyms to the word confuse or that the common vetch is a member of the pea family.

It really drove me to read the correct amount of pages each day and the days we didn’t discuss we had the whole time to read. This cut down on the amount of reading out of class. Also the blog you made us do was very helpful in my opinion because if I took one part of the book one way, I could see the blogs and how everyone took it and really helped me understand the book better. Same thing goes with the reading journal, it really forced me to pay attention when I was reading because I had to get my points for my reading journal. Even after all of the positives there is a minor change I would make to this

My take on the book was it was a little dry and long. In some cases it may have had to much detail. I feel that Boring in some cases

I’ve experienced a myriad of conventional educational opportunities in my life. Like everyone else, I’ve sat in classrooms tapping my foot and staring at the clock. I’ve read all of the classic high school novels from Lord of the Flies to The Great Gatsby. I am exceedingly grateful for those opportunities; however, conventional learning can only enlighten one’s mind to a certain extent. So, I’m also an advocate of unconventional learning.
