Week 9 post

I believe that the basal method does not allow teachers to fully teach their students. No two students learn alike, so how could teaching the "book way" to every student, every year the same exact way possibly work? I am pretty sure that my CT would be all for this way because it causes little preparation by the teacher and, it seems to me, little student-teacher interaction. I do not think that I would like this teaching method because I like to teach creatively. Don't get me wrong, I am all for recycling lesson plans and borrowing from other people, but I do not feel as though every lesson plan should be recycled. I believe that teachers should cater lessons to their students because differentiated instruction is, in my opinion, the only way to teach effectively.
