I found it interesting how the teacher would read the student's work out loud to her and have her figure out what needs to be changed, but also with support to guide her to where her writing needs to improve. I like that she celebrates the student's simile choices and gives the student confidence in her writing. I feel like as I teach writing to my students, the thing that would be difficult for me to teach is grammar. I can speak and write how a sentence or paragraph needs to he structured, but to explain why and how to point that out would be difficult for me. My grammar is also not a strength of mine to begin with so it would be interesting to teach my students these things.

I found it interesting how he changed up the material with how the students will learn to spell because as a student I enjoy a change up. Teaching spelling for me would be difficult because again, as we were taught to read and write, we don't always know why our language works the way it does. I've learned that being friends with international students. When they ask questions on why things are spelled the way they are when it make different sounds, its hard to explain why our language is the way it is.
