Alexander Article and lesson response

After reading the Alexander article about Transgender writers I found it to be a very difficult read not only because of the content but because it was written in a style that was in itself a difficult read. The article brought to light how certain people act in different situations when they are writing and acting in everyday life. I found this valuable because you get to look at how other people write and understand how they compose their different writing materials. Its beneficial to understand how other people write because as a reader it will help you understand what point the author is trying to get across. Overall I thought this article was very important to read to understand how different groups of people write and interpret their beliefs.

After looking over the lesson plan to teach this article there were a few things that I really liked about it. The first thing that I liked about the lesson plan was that you said you were taking a different approach then most teachers do which I like because I tend to learn better when teachers take a different approach to the lesson. The second thing I liked about the lesson plan was the fact that you plan to play multiple videos, which I also like because the videos honestly make class more interesting and grab my attention better. The third thing I liked about the lesson plan was that you plan to look at all other types of media that dealt with the article, which I like because it brings in all of the different views from across the board. Overall after looking at the lesson plans for this article I like the approach you have chosen to take with it I think it will be a fun and interesting  lesson overall.
