Chapter 9

Well the last chapter in the book is titled did I miss anything? Did I miss everything? It's a fun final thoughts and encourages you to be your best and you will not always have the answers.

“Dear ms. Tovani:
Can I redo yesterdays work? I need to get an A. I am sorry that I drew all over and had illegible handwriting. Please?”

Tovani writes yes next to his request. I had to think about this and I like the idea of students redoing their work even for a better grade. In collage I have had so many high stake tests and sometimes I would get a bad grade but know how to do the work. The idea of this class was to read and re read not just read it write and that’s it. We encourage you to read it and read it again. Circle stuff and keep in mind the title and relate it to your real life.

No matter the content Tovini writes “I don’t see how we can be teachers of this content without spending at least some of our time with students helping them learn how to read about it” (Tovani, p.121).
