The 6 Language Arts

After learning about the 6 language arts, it surprised me that viewing and visually representing were part of the six. I would have classified language arts by writing and reading.

I think viewing and visually representing should be apart of the six because technology is becoming increasingly more prevalent in the schools and in the real world. I think as a future educator, teachers need to let their students use visual media because it engages the students and helps them learn from different perspectives.

When I arrived at college, I did not realize how important language arts are. My education up until college lacked many of the 6 language arts. I am learning each year how important all of them are. I think the 6 language arts will change in the future. Things are changing in our world constantly which changes what is expected of educators and students.

I really like Sahara Special because I think that it can help me as a future educator. I'm also excited because I might be able to use the book one day in my classroom!
