Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

1. What YA books have you read over the summer? Many teachers are able to encourage kids to read by sharing books they have read in a variety of genres. What if the person did not read any YA books? How should that be interpreted. Would you expect the person to say, "but I did read other things such as....and provide a list? What if the person just says, "no, I didn't"? Always wonder how the responses to these kinds of questions should be answered. If I were the one being interviewed, I would wonder how my answer may be interpreted. 2. What would a typical classroom period look like in your class? "typical"? Do you mean an ordinary day? One's regular routine? What writing process do you favor? Reading-writing workshop? Spelling? Vocab?Are spelling and vocabulary writing processes? 6. What do you consider your greatest strength as a teacher? Weakness?Rather than ask what is one's weakness, perhaps ask what area of your teaching would you like to develop. Not a well-worded question. :) 7. How do you envision utilizing the media center? What if no media center exists? Guess the question would not be asked. :) :) :) alex
