1. I hope that I will be able to distinguish between good and poor pieces of literate and hopefully only bring into my classroom the good pieces of literature.
2. Be able to find other sources to help me while I am having troubles.
and
3. learning about how to incorporate literacy not only by itself but in other subjects as well.

Bri- You're on the right track. Try digging a bit deeper and articulating why these things are important to you, if you are worried or confident about accomplishing them, etc. The more information you provide here, the better feedback your peers can give. In your last goal, I'm wondering what you are envisioning as "sources" and "troubles".
Bri-I feel the same way about learning to distinguish what is good literature and what is not. I really feel like we have not studied (during our TE program) literature as much as we should have. Even though we have all completed TE 301, I feel like that only gave a few examples of good books, per grade/reading level. I hope that this class helps us to learn about what is good literature for young and developing readers all the way through older, stronger readers.
Bri,
I really agree with your last goal about learning how to incopperate literacy into other lessons. I would also like to gain ideas on how to include literacy while teaching other subjects. I am also intersted in things like art and literacy, drama and literacy, and music and literacy. I want to find fun ways to include interactive activities with my literacy lessons.
Your first goal relates to TE 348 (I think). TE 348 gave a lot of information in a short time on poor and good literature. Remembering this class as you prepare lessons will greatly help you to pick out excellent pieces of literature.
The class provided many sources to help find good pieces of literature. I am sure there are many groups that will be helpful in this matter.
One way to select good books is to sit down and think about your criteria- what makes a good book? What do you want to use it for? What entry points for conversation can you find in it? ONce you know what you think makes for a good book, it's a lot easier to look at any book and make a decision on its appropriateness.
