I think the instructional models are a great way to teach language arts! My group focused on book club and literature circles. While we were introduced to these concepts in class, I learned so much more when we looked deeper into this instructional model. I thought it was very beneficial to hear all of the other groups' presentations. It gave me insight into their model, as well as provided me with sample lessons that incorporates the model.
For my own model, I think that it has influenced my philosophy of teaching language arts because it really showed me how impacting group work can be. One of the best ways for students to learn is through discussing with their peers. Through book clubs, students have something in common to discuss and can bounce ideas between each other. I think many times this is much more valuable than listening to the teacher speak of the book or other language arts content.
