The more they practice and the more teachers and parents instill this in their minds, the better they will become. Perfect practice, makes perfect. Most people would probably have trouble with trying to remember how they learned to read. I would have to say that I am a person who loves to read and I think that is it really an amazing thing. Also, I am someone who is involved in education and research and I think that it is amazing how learning to read is said to be a talent that it potentially impossible.
When I began reading this chapter I thought as though I did not need the information about to be provided to me. As I read on I started to realize that there were a few things in the chapter that I will be able to utilize. I admit that I scanned and skimmed at first as I always do but I stopped quickly when I saw this as learning tool in the beginning of the chapter. I felt very relieved that this is an accepted practice. As I continued to read I came across more pointers that I will be using.
I literally didn't even know things like that existed till I got to intermediate school. So much of my personality and ethics come from my parents. One of the most important things I think my parents did was to not force religion into my life. Moreover, they did not equate being a moral person with being a religious one. This way, when my religion began to wane at times I never once felt like that meant I could just be a bad person.
However, Study Skills comes with many important reasons to keep the class. The class would allow practicing the material in his classes. They allow him note take and further intensive reading, which would allow him to understand the material better. The class has no papers to turn to the professor. Even though he has a full load of classes not having turn any work would allow him to relax, because he would focusing on current and not any extra work.
This is making it where students that have a lot of money can easily get by with actually learning how to write correctly. Students need to learn to write correctly so when they get out in the real world they know what they are doing. People need to know how to come up with their own ideas and be able to give authors credit for their
Cari Buckley At the beginning of the semester, I thought I had a general knowledge of how to write a well thought-out paper with interesting hooks and developed paragraphs. Although I am still nowhere near a perfect writer or even qualified as a great writer, I feel that I have learned the skills necessary to hone and improve my abilities. I am almost positive that it will take a lot of work and dedication to perfect language as a tool of power, but I know that my newfound knowledge will help me on my journey. Throughout the entire semester, the research paper and the radical revision really helped open my mind to language as power. Because I wrote my paper on something that I feel very passionate about, I realized how easy and hard it is
I found the least interest in the wordless books. Since I am a secondary education major, I feel that words are essential for getting a story across and going into depth in teaching a lesson. I do realize that books without words are necessary for very young children who cannot yet read and perhaps for children who like to make their own stories up, but I would not use them in a secondary level
This shows that students are not just writing more but they are actually using knowledge of writing techniques to adapt their text to cater to a particular audience. Basically, I think it is okay to say that we as a generation are not getting dumber. We may be storing less information in our brains as Bauerlein pointed out in his article but that is all because we have gotten used to the idea of having access to almost any answer at any location. Just think about the jobs we are going to be able to do in the future if we can use our brains for exclusively for thinking because memory would be stored somewhere else. Again, we are not becoming dumber, but rather we are just becoming smarter and taking advantage of the tools we have around
Some chapters that really spoke to me would be the chapters on time management, getting good grades, and working towards success. I really paid attention to the time management section the most. Since I really like to be active and busy all the time, I tend to bite off more than I can chew. I need to find a happy medium between working and playing. I am going to use some techniques described in this section such as scheduling early classes, studying in between classes and when I am studying, actually focusing.
I felt that there were a lot of things I did well as a teacher. It didn’t take a lot of time for the students to open up to me, and feel comfortable to ask questions. I really enjoyed answering the questions each student had, and even teaching some students how to conjugate verbs and use them. I also thought that I did a great job in encouraging the students, and not letting them just slip by when I knew they were capable of doing better. In one case, we all had to make a fool of ourselves by dancing to the alphabet song, but I can guarantee that the students won’t soon forget the words to the song.
