Teaching Students to Write: Chapter 1

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009 | Uncategorized

For Tuesday’s class we were asked to read the first chapter of Teaching Students to Write by Beth S. Neman. I am not just saying this because Lee is going to read this and I want brownie points, but I really learned a lot from this chapter. I think this book is going to teach me more than any other book I have read thus far for a class. It wasn’t just another textbook that cures insomnia, at least from what I have gathered by reading the first chapter. In summary, it showed different teaching styles for writing and gave the pros and cons of each, it provided different teaching strategies, and also gave first hand examples from former teachers that had used the strategies and styles listed in the chapter.

One of the teaching styles they talked about in the chapter was called the “affect-centered solution.” One aspect I really liked about this approach was the teacher’s role that was described. The teachers role in this approach was to, “consider themselves ‘facilitators’ whose role is to free the student’s imagination and promote growth by sustaining a positive classroom atmosphere.” Personally I feel like I can connect with this statement. I think one of the most important things a teacher can do is to create a positive learning atmosphere where the students feel comfortable expressing themselves. I also agree with this style because I believe that students will be more willing to express themselves through writing if they are genuinely interested in a topic they are writing about. Although I really like this teaching approach I agree with the author when she says, “we would recommend adoption of its many features, we would not suggest that teachers embrace it as the heart of the entire writing program.” I really appreciate the fact that this book is willing to give real advice to future teachers of writing by showing the pros and cons of everything they provide to the readers. They are giving the information and then allowing the reader to chose whichever style they prefer.

A lot of what I read I found very beneficial to my future as a teacher of writing. There were a lot of excerpts that I thought, “Wow…I better write this down, I could really use this when I’m a teacher someday.” For example, one quote I was particularly fond of was, “Certainly, it is important to let our students experience success, but we must understand that they experience a sense of success more readily when they feel they have met a challenge.” I had not put much thought into this concept before and I really liked the idea. I know it is important to be a positive motivator and encourager and it makes so much sense to me to implement this idea into my own classroom in the future. Another part of the chapter that I found very helpful was the part where they gave tips on establishing relationships with students. It was defiantly a list I could see myself referring back to, especially as I begin my student teaching next year.

Ultimately, I guess my point is that I will not dread doing the reading assignments in this book. From what I gathered from the first chapter I think I will find the information in this book to be very helpful to my future as a teacher of writing. Also I would like to discuss the essay in the end of the chapter, “In short why did the class fail?” I think it would be a good class discussion, at least to hear what everyone thought of it.

    Decoding Replica Hermès Handbags: A Comprehensive Guide
    The universe of upscale fashion has continuously been mesmerized by
    Hermès handbags, notably their celebrated Kelly and
    Birkin designs. These prized items represent sophistication,
    skill, and exclusivity, with prices ranging from 10,000 dollars to more
    than $500,000 for exclusive versions. With such
    steep worth and popularity, it’s unsurprising that Hermes has emerged as
    one of the most duplicated high-end brands in the industry.

    The History of Hermes
    Created in 1837 as a saddle shop in Paris, Hermès commenced by crafting leather
    saddle goods. The brand’s dedication to extraordinary craftsmanship was founded early and continues to be their distinction now.
    Each Hermès craftsperson undergoes no less than 24 months of education before they can produce their initial handbag, exemplifying the house’s dedication to perfection.
    The renowned Kelly bag was introduced in 1935 (originally called
    the “Sac a depeches”), while the distinguished Birkin bag launched in nineteen eighty-two following a random meeting
    between Hermes director Dumas and icon Jane Birkin on a
    flight from Paris to the UK.
    The Growth of Replica Hermès Bags
    The tremendous demand and steep price points of genuine
    Hermès handbags have generated a extensive market for knockoffs.
    Modern surveys indicate that approximately ninety percent of all Hermès Kelly and Birkin handbags listed on the internet are not authentic, generating significant challenges for shoppers seeking the genuine article.

    Current imitators have become progressively clever, employing
    advanced methods to make convincing imitations that can be difficult to
    tell apart from original products at first glance.
    These replicas vary from low-quality copies to high-quality replicas that
    copy several elements of genuine Hermes purses.
    How to Spot Genuine Hermes Purses
    When assessing a Hermès handbag to establish its genuineness, authenticators
    check many important aspects:
    1. Construction and Leather
    Real Hermès bags are hand-crafted with the highest quality materials and
    outstanding precision. The material should feel luxurious and pliable with a characteristic
    natural aroma that imitators cannot reproduce.
    The hardware should be heavy, constructed with precious metals
    that doesn’t chip or chip easily.
    2. Seams
    One remarkable element is that because original Hermes purses are hand-crafted, the seams should actually have certain inconsistencies.
    Counterfeits are often machine-stitched, so they are completely consistent with one another.
    Hermes applies a particular hand-stitching technique originating from
    their equestrian background.
    3. Logo and Stamping
    The Hermès mark stamp should state “Hermès Paris Made in France” on three lines
    with clear sharp embossing. On imitation Hermès
    purses, the emblem would appear unusual, large, or squared and might have blurred lines
    or uneven alignment.
    4. Hardware and Features
    The metal elements on authentic Hermes bags incorporates characteristic
    aspects like accurate markings, quality closures,
    and correctly secured bottom studs. Hermès manufactures its proprietary zippers, so you should not see a third-party brand or another manufacturer’s name on the
    hardware.
    5. Authentication Indicators
    Remarkably, Hermes does not provide authenticity cards with their handbags.

    They have not ever and likely never will. If you’ve purchased a Hermes bag and got
    an certification card with it, it is most definitely a counterfeit.

    The Ethical Implications
    The counterfeit industry raises substantial ethical concerns.
    While counterfeit bags may look equivalent to
    authentic ones, they are made without the quality standards,
    fair labor practices, or environmental standards that
    authentic designer houses follow. Additionally, the fake industry has been connected to organized
    crime and labor abuse.
    Conclusion
    For those who appreciate the skill and tradition of Hermès,
    knowing the distinction between real and fake bags is vital.
    Whether investing in for financial or individual satisfaction, knowing how to spot genuine Hermes
    quality assists confirm that you’re receiving what you spend for
    – a piece of high-end style history crafted with unparalleled craftsmanship and care.

    If you’re planning on buying a Hermes handbag, the safest approach is to
    purchase straight from Hermes or from highly reputable vendors who offer comprehensive verification processes and assurances.
