PLN #2*

In the article "BACK TO SCHOOL" written by Gary states that elementary school English teachers don't think about what curriculum students are taught, they just teach what they are given.
  • Elementary school english teachers just give irelivent vocabulary word for students to learn.
  • Near the end of the article Gary tells us that the high school now does a word of the day program and uses it in context, this helps to eliminate out of the blue words.
  • "While I was alarmed by the lack of consideration given to context and meaning, two pillars of vocabulary development, my experience at the high school was even more horrific." -Gary "BACK TO SCHOOL"

  • Most people don't actually read the article and just get the information from the title.
  • This is important to me because it shows that beloved authors are not as good as we think
