In this assignment for American College of Education, I went out of my comfort zone and wrote two Diagnostic Plans for students in grades that I haven't taught. Through the experience, I had to research different methods and activities. I feel that this has made me a better literacy instructor with more tools in my strategy bank.
Reflection is a very skill for teachers to take part in. Reflection helps teachers decide what worked and what did not. In this case, I reflected on using Action Research for the first time. There was a lot for me to learn, but in the end, I decided that my school would benefit from taking part in action research. Our goal as teachers is to do what's best for kids, and sometimes, doing an action research project is the best way to determine what is going to work best for our students.

El objetivo de el trabajo era imitar las imágenes de Andy Warhol, en mi caso he hecho unos labios, unas cerezas (fueron la primera imagen que hice), a Marylin Monroe, la lengua de los Rolling Stones y una lata de Coca Cola. Todo esto lo hemos hecho con un editor llamado Gimp.
