I was continually drained mentally and felt weak and out of it physically. I had a hard time thinking straight, putting together cohesive thoughts. I was very melancholy. Reading the definition for distress, I really think that is where I was. I had this happen a few years later when I was in a job I did not like, with a boss I did not like.
So beings that I was curious about everything I did not turn her down. It was one on one teaching so I knew it would be easier for me to learn. It was easy for her to assign the rest of the class work and dedicate her time to one student. I remember the first book we started with was “Dick and Jane”. I was struggling at first, but I finally started to get the words flowing out of
I was often frustrated for her I went to great lengths to make her happy and comfortable. Unfortunately, my patient passed away which left me very sad. I have found that my difficulty in learning the language is the inability to take notes. I have always used note cards to study. Visual repetition and writing my notes help me to memorize information.
Throughout the book, there is a mutual frustration between Christopher and those he interacts with, both do not understand how the other thinks. He does not get human emotions and does not understand illustrative speech. "I find people confusing. this is for two reasons. The first reason is that people do a lot of talking without using many words...the second main reason is that people often talk using metaphors."
When we watch the videos the teachers were thinking out loud and discussing the little voice in her head that tells her things while she is reading, like “oh I have no idea what I just read” or “hum I wonder who this person is?” or “wow that’s neat!”. The students were able to connect with her and start thinking about reading and listening to the voice inside their head they then wrote or discussed with a peer what they thought about the reading passage. A literacy activity I could do in my classroom would be a think aloud. I could explain exactly what I am thinking while reading a passage, then have the students read another passage and practice talking about what they read and where thinking to a peer. I could also incorporate highlighters or underlining strategies to incorporate note taking and thinking while reading into this lesson.
Analyzing Early Models of Women’s Writings The early “Biographies of Exemplary Women” handbook is truly a significant piece of work; encompassing virtues and appropriate behaviour for women, and still continues to resonate today. It’s initial presence of being an instruction manual for women, has transpired later female writers to draw upon and also alternate their own styles of writing. Through the works read in class, one seeks to explore how women writers either draw upon or depart from earlier cultural models, and how these models inspire, limit, and shape women writers. The Early model biographies served not only as an instruction manual for women but it also confined women to their basic trajectory roles within the household. Elements of Confucian principles such as women having a lower status within the Patriarchal family structure, and women being self-sacrificial; are reminiscent throughout these early works and in Ban Zhao’s Lessons for Women.
I don’t know why, but when I find myself at war with words when I write. Writing I would say isn’t my cup of tea. I’ve noticed at times when I write I tend to make many grammar and punctuation errors. Even though I feel the way I do I know if I apply myself and edit my work over and over I can produce a great paper. In tenth grade I turned in a paper and I failed badly this crushed me.
To be more truthful, I felt like an idiot who could not make up a few words for a question. I also felt really embarrassed because I left so soon and because of my constant thinking of what to say, and I felt like I left the patient with the impression of me as some sort of weirdo. Even now, couple of day later, I
I showed her how I made my lower case “E’s.” Took her hand into mine and made a lower case “E” together. After a couple of times, I let her do it herself. Right away she made a lower case “E,” correctly. Right then and there I knew that I wanted to be a teacher. I went straight to an advisor to talk about my options.
I really hate school. And by hate, I mean that I experience rageful, disgusting, negative emotions when I think about it. The institutions I have attended, from elementary school up through the community college I am currently attending, have failed me in every way possible. It's no secret that I'm smart, no genius mind you, but I'm certainly towards the upper end of the bell curve. I have been incredibly bored by school since day one.
