It is a good way to figure out where each child is in the process of learning to read, write, and spell; and then build upon in successfully. The text suggests an informal assessment by placing the children in the class into groups and have them write something. This observe what level they are on. Based on what level they are on, then move them into a group of children that are at the same level.

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. That is, until the boys sat through a class taught by Mr. Keating, Welton’s new English teacher. His unorthodox methods not only taught the boys to think for themselves, but they also awoke the boys’ inner desires and dreams.

Lesson plan / teacher’s notes Introduce the idea that Steinbeck uses images of darkness and light throughout his novella as a stylistic technique. 1) As pupils come into the classroom and settle down, give random students pieces of card with quotations/statements on them, as printed out below. Do not explain why they have been given them at this point. 2) When the pupils are ready to begin, give a short introduction about the use of light and darkness in the novel. Explain that it is not used by accident, but it is part of Steinbeck’s craft.
Some Rhetorical devices I used were expletive, oxymoron, hyperbole, dysphemism and analogy. These were affective for my paper because they give the paper the dramatic edge it needs to express my emotions to the reader. Expletive is a word or phrase that emphasizes the surrounding words. I used “after all” in my paper to show that I was only twelve and it gave it that extra added expression. Next, I used oxymoron to explain the silence in the halls of my elementary school (AP Rhetorical Devices List).
Frog Defence Mechanisms Research into several frog species has produced evidence that although frog’s possess the same general characteristics, many different species have developed their own unique methods of defence and escaping predation. Some species of frog have discovered that one of the best forms of defence is simply to hide. Many frogs have developed a great number of different disguises to escape the sight of potential predators. For example the Mossy frog (Rana septentrionalis- Fig. 2.7) – is covered in small bumps and spines, (Raxworthy, 2007), which along with it’s brown/green colouration allows it to blend perfectly into it’s mossy surroundings.
