Her family was given choices to make throughout the novel, and the choices made by them led to her success and failure. Some of the success’ that Kate had in her life happened because of Luke’s sacrifice to keep the family together, Matt’s mistake that led him to give up school and give Kate that chance, the bond the children had with the pond which gave her, her passion and Daniels push that led Kate to realize that some of her failures were because of herself. The failures in Kate’s life were caused by family, but not on purpose. Her obsession with Matt kept her from truly loving Daniel Crane which was her boyfriend for over a year, the “House Rule” which kept Kate from opening up and keeping the bond between her and her family strong, and Matt’s dream, which she succeeded but and the guilt kept her from enjoying it. Kate Morrison’s family plays a large role in her life’s success.
In the film “Whale Rider” directed by “Niki Caro” set in Whangara is about a girl called Paikea who strived to become a female leader but her koro paka didn’t have faith in her. He didn’t want to break a tradition but when pai proved him wrong he finally gave big opportunities for pai to lead her father’s homemade waka. My essay will show how much a decision has changed pai’s life in so many ways. The three main points will show how she is so determined in her culture, and that people believe in her and are willing to help her and how she is proving to her koro and to other males that girls can do what boys can do also. Firstly, pai is an important character because she shows determination in her culture by wanting to lead.
Growing up, math teachers always seemed surprised when I showed competence manipulating objects and shapes. Teachers even went so far as to tell me usually boys have better spatial sense. Reading the authors’ acknowledgement of the fact people are not simply born with or without spatial sense was very interesting to me; this statement made me wonder how I can foster this skill in my own students. Similar to number sense (defined and discussed in chapter two of this same text), having spatial sense is crucial to understanding geometry. Knowing that mathematics in general helps to formalize the ability to be able to grasp, visualize and represent the space in which we live, it stands to reason that learners who are able to display an understanding of spatial sense have a better understanding of the fact that
Comparative Essay: 13 Conversations About One Thing and The Poisonwood Bible In the film 13 Conversations about One thing, and the novel The Poisonwood Bible, Troy and Leah, respectively, spend a majority of their lives strictly living by a code of conduct but later abandon their original beliefs when they recognize its flaws. Troy, a successful lawyer, is adamant about following the judicial system, similar to Leah who resolutely follows the commandments of the Bible, which her Father, the Reverend, enforces. Both are unwavering in their beliefs until they experience a life altering incident. Leah moves to the Congo and encounters a crisis of faith because she is shocked by the immense religious and cultural differences. Troy injures another human being and enters a state of disbelief as he begins to see the world form the perspective of a criminal rather than a lawyer.
“my chest is thudding like an Bosnian lawnmower”. This shows her paranoia and fear about who she is and if people will find out. In the end of the novel Bridget learns from her experiences like her quest to help Jamal and Bibi and learns to appreciate her family and grows as a person. She becomes confident and makes friends with Menzies. This is shown in the novel when Bridget says “ I looked at Menzies digging next to me, I was so proud of us how far we had come…” this is inclusive language because I shows that hse is more accepting.
My past math experiences have been wonderful. My teachers were terrific educators and they had a big influence on my decision of going towards the education path. I too want to be able to make a difference in lives of my students. The challenges of a career in teaching mathematics are exciting; the demands are exceedingly high but the rewards are priceless. Few achievements in life can match the smile on a young girl’s face when she first realizes that she can subtract all by herself, or the joy expressed by a young boy who solves an algebraic equation without any help.

In contrast, a classroom made up of 11th and 12th grade students is much more calm and structured and therefore much more difficult to note take. I found it quite difficult to observe anything other than “writing in notebook” and “looking through textbook”. But in the end I was able to take enough notes to figure out one particular students motivational behavior. According to Stipeck, theories of motivation have been created to help us explain, predict, and influence behavior. During my observation in an AP Calculus class it became apparent quite quickly that the student was highly motivated.
Analyzing a lesson is observing what’s being taught, introduced, received by kids, and used to teach the lesson. Ms. Joanna gets students attention by reading a book on subject that she’s about to teach, and sing songs themed around lesson. For example, Ms. Joanna demonstrated magnets attracting magnetic objects in classroom. Then, she read the book magnets. The math lesson 3D shapes; she used a YouTube video – 3D shapes –and the kids got up and dance to the song.
