Students should pay particular attention to the main verbs in the question: verbs like “characterize” and “analyze” call for the writer to emphasize style with appropriate terms. When analyzing diction, consider such questions as: Is the language concrete or abstract, verbs active or passive? Are the words monosyllabic or polysyllabic?
The research design will then be introduced taking into account the theoretical frameworks and the review of the pertinent research. In this presentation, the qualitative study proposed is to learn the impact of educator perception on the impact of professional learning communities on student performance will be outlined. This will be followed with a discussion concerning the limitations of this study as well as precautions taken to protect those involved with the study. Theoretical Framework Organizational change and socio-cultural learning theories inform this study because they contextualize the problems with universal curriculum frameworks. It is through these theories that we will gain more insight into the issues associated with school system-wide leadership (Knapp, et al, 2008, p. 35).
Critically analyse the key theories of teaching and learning that have been influential in either the Foundation Stage/Key Stage1 or Key Stage 1/Key stage 2.

Donald Bear, Marcia Invernizzi, Shane Templeton, and Francine Johnston (2008) explain that there are two purposes for word studies.

Second, using text based evidence in ELA and Literacy guides students so they can understand what they are reading by referring back to the
In the analysis step I analyzed the arguments of the topics by writing down the controversies surrounding the issue and writing the claims of the topic. Other key steps taken to design the research question was to create an outline with bullet points to structure my argument. These steps are very similar to what scholars and professional writers do to write a research paper. Every writer must start by familiarizing themselves with the topic by researching from reliable sources. Professional writers must use reliable sources because it is very important to provide the reader with accurate information.
A view of where the versatility, riches and diversity of the language lies may be seen here, this paper shows not only a summary of the history of the English language, but also the significance of studying it in depth.
