Worksheets

I thought that the class discussion on the article Pedagogy of Control was very productive. I had not ever thought about worksheets this way before - in a negative light. I think that there can be positive uses for worksheets, but in general from our discussion it seems like there are better and more creative classroom activities. My biggest fear in using worksheets as a future educator is that my students will miss the point behind the activity, and not find any meaning. I don't ever want to have a class that is just about the grade, I want my students to learn help themselves to grow into better readers and writers . If worksheets isnt the best way to do that, I am glad it was brought to our attention!
