C4T Summary #3

Intrepid Teacher is a blog written by Jabiz, a middle school teacher of ten years. In his "Well Versed in Books" post written on March 10, 2014, he mentions that he is a book snob, but does not like to read young adult literature. He found himself in a awkward situation when one day he allow his students to choose a novel they wanted to read, instead of just assigning them one. With the look of confusion on his students faces Jabiz also was clueless to what novels to suggest. So he solved this situation with reading more young adult novels, to be able to suggest them to his students.

On February 17, 2014 Jabiz created a post called "Schools Can Be" in this post he starts off be saying he was scared of how people would think of his thoughts, so he kept them to himself. In that very same week he felt different, he was not scared anymore. He goes on to explain several scenarios that happened that week. His first scenario was he was apart of a Share Your Beliefs session, which allowed he to engage in a debate with 11th grade students about faith. The second scenario was he and his daughter did a presentation for a 2nd grade class on why their family became vegans. The last scenario was that his 7th grade class is working on a project for labor rights and treatment of migrant workers in Singapore. At the end of the post he expressed gratitude about how he is able to express his thoughts.
