Teaching Philosophy
• Student are active agent in the learning process.
• They build their knowledge through their previous and new experiences
• Learning is reciprocally.
• The teacher guides and motivate students to:
• feel free to express, and share different points of views orally and through
creative writing.
• Make use of values, these are the basis of the formation in the life of every human
being and citizen.
• Help them use the Zone of Proximal Development (ZDP) from Lev Vygotsky.
Curricular Maps for eleventh grade
Unit 11.2: Identity – The Personal Narrative (5 weeks)
• Unit Summary
In this unit, students will focus on the genre of personal narrative by reading and
listening to high quality examples and by writing their own pieces. Students will examine
character development, parts of the plot, theme and cause and effect through the novels they
read and essays they write.
• Transfer goal: Students will leave the class able to better understand the genre of
personal narrative by making connections from the readings to themselves, their peers,
and other people in society, and applying what they learn to their writing.
