1. The teacher rearranged the seating to make it more uniform, he voted himself to be the project leader and made the students call him Mr. Wenger for respect as a dictatorship would be. The teacher made it so that nobody talks without permission, and when they do talk they must stand up. Mr. Wenger made the kids sit straight so that they seem more respectful towards the dictator, and make their answers to the point. The leader created a bizarre energy which everyone was caught up in.
Seize the day! Make your lives extraordinary.” This idea of carpe dium is central to the message of the movie and a key part of romanticism. One of the first things Mr. Keating tells the students is to call him “Oh Captain, my Captain,” which comes as a shock to the students who are told by strict orders by all other teachers to refer to them formally. He teaches the boys to think for themselves, a lesson looked down upon at the elite academy directed towards developing their minds through learning out of textbooks. Mr. Keating then has the boys stand on their desks to teach them how they can see the world in a different way.
At (name of camp) in (location), they provide numerous nature walks and hikes throughout the day. Additionally, the routine and structured time combined with fun and sometimes unstructured activities offer a nice balance, and teaches effective time management. Children learn a sense of community in a different way than schools, as many of the achievements, goals, and rewards are based on collaborative efforts. By learning songs and chants in the mess hall and uncovering inside jokes, the adolescents learn that everyone is more alike than different. At (name of camp), the main focus of the camp is to create a bully free zone where everyone learns how to function within a functional community.
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.
It is presented by showing how Bean acquires his skills no matter what the cost. The book’s overall theme is to persevere through the adversities we are faced. Bean was faced on abandonment and being the smallest and weakest of the class but Bean learned how to overcome these obstacles serenely and intelligently.

Being able to see what has been being talked about in the class all week, makes learning easier for a visual learner. While attending school, you go to take in as much knowledge as possible. No one teacher teaches the same, so how do we fully comprehend what we are learning? Four different learning styles enable us to comprehend information at our best. Some people learn better by simply listening, others learn by being hands on.
An active learner is one who understands new information by doing something with it, and they strive to take a greater responsibility for their own learning, and they take advantage of extra credit opportunities. This fits my learning style very much so. When I am learning something I take what I learn and apply to my homework in that specific subject or use it in other subjects. Also I take responsibility for my own learning by going to get help on what I do not understand, and I always jump at the extra credit when it is available. An intuitive learner is one who prefers to take information in an abstract form such as ideas, images or ideas.
However, by the end of the school year, Peter’s behavior progressed and his classmates were no longer startled by him but were helping him and encouraging him. As Peter becomes, a part of the classroom Peter begins to learn cognitive skills through the teaching of his peers. It was very interesting to see how the children were so willing to help the teacher with teaching Peter what he needs to know as a third grader and as a classmate. It was very refreshing to see the young ladies in the classroom helping Peter with his work that needed to be completed and how the classmates as a whole made Peter feel special when he completed an assignment or behaved as the classmates would like him to in the classroom setting. For example, when Peter held the sentence up in the front of the class and his classmates read
Kirjan ENG-2D3 Cregan, N 11/13/2014 The film Dead Poets Society set in the year 1959 focuses on the painfully shy Todd Anderson who is newly enrolled in to Welton Academy, and his roommate Neil Perry who is exceedingly bright and popular, while under the thumb of his over-bearing father. The two, along with their other classmates, meet Professor John Keating, their new English teacher who tells them of the Dead Poet Society; the boys reach over their dream’s and in their own way each of their lives have changed. The element of sound brings a burst of excitement, a hold of suspense, and a grudge of terror as it assembles the very scene we are awaiting. Peter Weir the director of Dead Poets Society has used this element to maximum perfection in this film; he was able to adorn each astonishing scene with an impeccable tune. When Neil Perry is up late at night, just after his dad harshly instructs him to take part in military school and medical school, we don’t know what is going to take effect.
I then gave them a more formal lesson on sportsmanship. We then reviewed and discussed their answers to the list of questions I gave them to make sure they fully understood what was read and the lesson I gave them and to see if any of their original answers had changed. This lesson was great at evaluating reading, writing, comprehension, and verbal skills of the English Language learner because each was used at some point or even multiple times throughout the lesson. The lesson also gave numerous opportunities for the ELL student to engage with his peers as well as with the teacher.
