I also hate when the teacher read aloud in class and then she ask questions about the story. It is very difficult for me because I lose focus when the teacher reads because of distraction and I don’t know what the story is about. It’s better for me to read alone in a very quiet place, that way I really can focus and understand what I’m reading. In the story “Proficiency” Shannon Nichols always been a strong student throughout elementary and middle school. Until, she got to college that’s when she fined it challenging for her.
The thing is this doesn’t go on in every other grade school; those other kids that don’t get this option are stuck. They are just given their homework every day and they have to go through the same routine without the 8th grade partner. This type of help builds on the civil literacy, it helps the young 1st grader mature more at a young age and be able to do some of the stuff the 8th graders do because they set good examples around the little
It can leave the participant feeling bad with seemingly no way forward. Verbalising and exploring a learners thoughts can assist them gain a positive perspective of their own work and ability and will also help identify problem areas, therefore providing both the teacher and the learner with the ability to develop e.g. asking a learner where they think they did well and where they think they could improve. Some situations in which constructive feedback is required can include; ongoing performance discussions, providing specific performance pointers, following up on teaching discussions, providing correct guidance, providing a learner with consequences of their behaviour. Clues at when constructive feedback is needed can be when a learner asks for your opinion on how they are doing, this can be a 'cry for help' from a learner.
As the mind becomes more fine tuned the student will realise they can apply more to analytical and critical thinking - “Constant practice and critical reflection is essential if the student wishes to succeed” (Cottrell, 2013 P66). Study skills are acquired over time and are not something you are naturally able to achieve. “Good study skills have little to do with being naturally clever and more to do with awareness, strategies, confidence and practice” (Cottrell.2013 P4). Study skills cover a multitude of options, what makes good study skills relies entirely on what works best for the individual as to what makes study effective. These range from – writing skills, comprehension, communication, time management,
treI haven't written a paper in about 12 years. Since I've just recently gone back to school, I have found it very difficult. When I was in high school I really enjoyed reading and writing papers, I have lately found that i have a hard time expressing my words on paper. I really do not enjoy writing. I do not have any misconceptions about writing I'm just very out of practice and I'm sure with time it will become a lot easier and feel more natural.
Unfortunately, the FCAT does not evaluate student’s performance correctly due to students that fall under pressure. The pressure that student’s feel and encounter is also known as test anxiety. According to Channel 7 reporter Erica Rakow’s in the article “FCAT Stresses Students Out, she claims” The responsibility of passing both reading and math portion of the FCAT in 10 grade adds a stressful ambiance to students who really do not want to retake it as a junior (par.2). Rakow also points out “That responsibility includes promotions to the next grade, and future funding for their school. Some students get so worked up about the test they can’t even get through it (par.3).
Anne School. It allowed students to fix their educational gaps and it prevented them from falling back in their classes. It also instilled in the students a time management skill that would benefit them in the long run. Unfortunately, there are not many tutors and after school teachers to go around. Many students end up leaving without understanding their math homework or any type of homework.
As I journeyed through high school I struggled to find motivation to read even the assigned novels and reading. Eventually, I fell victim to the allure of spark notes and the time it saved. After sports were over for me the distraction became a job. Working six days a week at Zaxbys left no time for trivial pleasures such as reading. My saving grace became AP English IV my senior year.
Low reading achievement is a genuine and consequential problem for many middle and high school students. Unfortunately, reading comprehension is an extremely difficult skill for many students to master and many content teachers do not have the needed methods, tools, and professional development to easily embed reading comprehension strategy instruction into their teaching. Many students, including those with learning or reading disabilities, English language learners, and students, who fail to engage with reading, struggle to develop reading comprehension. Junior high school students’ grades 8 also find some difficulties to understand text types well: story or factual genres. Therefore, to make a better understanding for text types that given by teacher, based on curriculum for junior high school grade 8, such as; descriptive text, narrative text, recount, and anecdote, students can use reading comprehension skills that suit their needs.
'Questioning enables teachers to check learners' understanding. It also benefits learners as it encourages enitgagement and focuses their thinking on key concepts and ideas.' (Kyriacou 1995 in Desforges 1995, pg. 126) I am of the opinion that the idea children should work in mixed ability groups is not always a viable option. I feel it is important to take into account the personalities of the children, as learning may be inhibited if one child is particularly domineering or intimidating.
