Geoffrey Chaucer and The General Prologue Unit Plan
I chose this piece to be represented in my portfolio because it marks the end of majoring in Creative Writing and the beginning of my transition into a Secondary Education English major. This is my first unit plan that I completed for my course entitled Principles of Teaching. Since this was my first unit plan, I was very nervous and stressed about the assignment. I was not familiar with the education discourse community at this point and had no clue how to write as if I were apart of it. If I had known about scholars like David Bartholomae at the time I might have been able to know and understand how to establish myself in an education discourse community, but sadly I did not have that privilege at the time.
The basis for this assignment was to create an engaging and interesting unit for our content area. This assignment was very informative about the new discourse community I was entering. It made me realize how much work I had ahead of me, though the hard work that I put into this assignment paid off in the end. I found that after this assignment that I loved the hard work, it kept my work interesting and I loved the thought of someday making lesson plans and unit plans for a living. Looking back on this unit plan I see many things that I would love to change, though that makes this eportfolio that much more of a learning experience for me because I can see how much I have improved throughout only a few semesters.
