In the documentary, “A Class Divided” filmed in 1970, a third grade teacher in Iowa named Jane Elliot did something that I felt was so amazing, during a time period that most might consider risky. She divided her class by the color of their eyes and came up with very clever ways to make them feel discriminated against. Watching the short film, about how she taught her class the lesson of discrimination, which was prompted by the death of Martin Luther King, is just fascinating! At first I was writing down everything I could to be able to reference my notes later, to write this paper. Suddenly I just stopped writing and really got into the lesson as though I was in the classroom with them.
Cathy Pham Mrs. Jaspard AP English Lang/Comp 29 December 2012 Philosophies of Transcendentalism In the movie Dead Poets Society, the philosophies of transcendentalism are explained in depth, though in a more interesting way. Near the beginning of the movie, where several orthodox methods of teaching are shown, tradition was expressed. The typical class introductions, the way the lessons are delivered, and the assigning of homework are all done in a similar fashion.

It’s imperative to understand why authors strategically utilize writing techniques to compel a reader thoughts to stay immersed in their stories. Using colloquialism can have the audience praising or criticizing the author.
Final exams are a time of stress for students to worry about if they can recall all the lessons that their professors have went over within that semester. Students who are scarcely passing any of their classes need their final exams to be passing grades, so they tend to study a little harder. Finals also allow students to see how all the lessons they have learned connect through small facts. Identifying and understanding thoroughly everything the professor particularly emphasizes in class can be a hard and tough experience when preparing to study for finals. In Joy Alonso’s “Two Cheers for Examination “she uses examinations to examine the purposes and useless of exams in two and four year colleges to appear to students and teachers.

It was hard to change the way she spoke, especially because she was raised speaking different language. More like anything, she wanted to speak like everyone else. Madera shows how crucial were teachers in her life. During high school years she met great English teacher who asked if she would like to write for the school paper. This gave her hope, possibly, one day she might also be able to talk correctly.
I was able to write the words and letters down with minor errors the problem was writing well enough for you to understand what I wrote. In Guyana my parents had a class called dictation; it was basically writing down what the teacher wrote on the board. This was to improve your handwriting, and because of their teachings they made me go through they’re dictation and I would just write a page out of their book and if it didn’t look good enough they would make me do it all over again. And when I would do my homework in school and my handwriting wasn’t neat they would make me redo
Elzbieta I Pawlica Professor White College Writing II 17 February 2015 Rhetorical Analysis Texting Misconception In her 2008 student essay called “Texting and Literacy,” Veronica Stafford discusses a well debated topic: texting.

I then gave them a more formal lesson on sportsmanship. We then reviewed and discussed their answers to the list of questions I gave them to make sure they fully understood what was read and the lesson I gave them and to see if any of their original answers had changed. This lesson was great at evaluating reading, writing, comprehension, and verbal skills of the English Language learner because each was used at some point or even multiple times throughout the lesson. The lesson also gave numerous opportunities for the ELL student to engage with his peers as well as with the teacher.
