I denne artikkelen følger vi et autentisk undervisningsopplegg i lærerutdanningen og utforsker i hvilken grad det å gi lærerstudenter en innføring i å skrive tekster for barn i begynneropplæringen – ut over ordinær undervisning i lærerutdanningen – kan styrke studentenes forventning til egen engasjerende begynneropplæring.

Forskning fremhever læreres positive selvoppfatning som en forutsetning for å kunne gi god lese- og skriveopplæring (Hodges et al., 2021) de må oppleve seg kompetente, ha handlingsrom og oppleve en tilknytning til arbeidet (Deci & Ryan, 2012). ![]() ![]() ![]() This reading order places Before at the end of the series so it does not reveal any spoilers.

The textures and smells and ambiguities too. Part of it is how, like PKD, he seems to always have a sense of what is around the next two corners. Since Mona looks a lot like Angie, her pimp sells her to a secret organization that has a plastic surgeon alter her looks even further. Mona Lisa Overdrive by William Gibson is an excellent conclusion to the cyberpunk Sprawl Trilogy, and even if there are a couple of aspects in which it falters, on the whole it’s a fascinating and exciting romp through a technologically-dominated world populated by (mostly) interesting characters.
