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.

The pinnacle point of this essay will be to explore children’s experiences of family life and show what it is like for different types of families such as lone parents and step families. In addition, this essay will look at the ideas which shape the constructs of childhood in considering what role the family play in shaping a child’s experiences. Before childhood and the family at present can be examined, it is important to recognise when childhood was discovered and began. Before the 1600’s children were seen as miniature adults, and it is only through time and change of society that childhood has been recognised as a separate stage of life and development. The Aries thesis is studied as the discovery of childhood.
Reshaping Classrooms in Secondary School Over the years, teachers of younger children have developed the art of transforming ordinary classrooms into inspiring places of learning. Teachers of young children are the envy of secondary teachers who cart their wares about like snails, leaving no trace at the conclusion of each lesson. One unfortunate consequence of this nomadic teaching style is that secondary teachers can be tempted by the “do-nothing” approach when it comes to reshaping their classrooms. This essay will focus on four changeable elements within the secondary school classroom, these are: seating arrangement, noise, light and temperature. Research suggests that seating arrangement plays a primary role with noise, light and temperature playing secondary roles (Jensen, 2005) .
