I'm currently doing student teaching in Mobile, (pronounced "Moe-beel"), and, please don't laugh at this, but I don't know if I'm going to make the cut. My cooperating teacher is very well organized, but none of the strategies I've learned at the ARI meetings or any of the techniques I've learned in college seem to be working for me as well as I think they should. I'm certainly not my coopeating teacher. For one, it seems like the students have trouble understanding me. I do tend to use big words, but they're Seniors; they should be getting ready for college. My CT also explained that they have difficulty reading, but most of the strategies I've learned involve reading and writing! In fact, those are the areas I'm passionate about. I could care less about the stories, except for their social commentary. I hate it when the students just stare at me blankly and do none of what I asked them to do. Does anyone have any suggestions?
