EDU101Chapter1

1. Read chapter 1 in //The Joy of Teaching//. As you read the chapter, note which facts or ideas from the book brought you “joy” and which things weren’t too joyful.

2. In your blog entry, make 2 bulleted lists. One will list three things that made you joyful and the other will list three things that weren't as joyful. Make sure the reader can tell which list is joyful and which is not. Write 2-3 sentences for each bullet using complete sentences. Describe what the fact/item was and tell why it made you joyful or not joyful. Using first person is appropriate in your writing, but do not use contractions.

3. In case you're feeling a little down after this chapter, read this [|editorial by a high school tech teacher].
