All of this is easily learned and understood, but when you begin to learn when to use comas, colons, and semi-colons, that is when the work becomes difficult. The boring subjects are the last issues that I have with the essays we are assigned in English classes. The subjects are almost always on some novel or a person we have read about in history. If the subjects were on something I liked, I might like English a bit more. Yet and still, I find myself writing my essays on less exciting subjects such as, “Why I hate English.” Second on my list are the thick novels I always find myself not reading.
Malcolm X never knew that so many words existed! So he set up a system that took about a day were he read out loud, then read back to himself everything he written on the table her read over and over again then he realize he could read his own hand writing words is all Malcolm X thought about. Malcolm X was also could remember what all the words meant and definition. Malcolm X was fascinated with learning the words copying the dictionary he also learned of people places and
An exemplar of this is Mordecai Richler's novel, Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz or Margaret Lawrence’s Stone Angel. Furthermore, Fifth Business, published over four decades ago, is still on many courses of study in Gr. 12 classrooms. Again, while some teachers allow students to focus on more modern Canadian books for their ISP, the real classroom experience is limited to studying these archaic novels that are irrelevant to today’s Canadian society. The current curriculum is rapidly turning off students from reading Canadian literature ever again as the content that they are exposed to is not of their interest and does not appeal to the masses.
The Shakespeare Authorship Controversy Historians and scholars since the time of the Renaissance have questioned the authorship of Shakespeare’s works. This controversy surfaced mainly because it is so hard to believe that a man who led such an ordinary life could be the genius who is known as the world’s greatest poet and playwright today. Ralph Waldo Emerson summed up this controversy in one quote, “I cannot marry this fact to his verse. Other admirable men have led lives in some sort of keeping with their thought; but this man, in wide contrast.” The entire reasoning behind William Shakespeare's claim to the authorship is based upon inference and speculation. Because of the lack of evidence to give any one person the title of Shakespeare,
Professor Liu once mentioned that “the doctor travelled without purpose.” It is the main reason why we can read a lot of random materials in this book. If he had purposes on everything he talked to the King, or to see the people around him. He might not have chance to see what he did not expect. It would be very interesting to notice that due to the lack of mobility in 16th century, travelling was not possible for many people. Thus, they did not have the multiculturalism concept in their mind.
When he caught him plagiarizing, it was to Jamal’s demise. However, William Forrester came to Jamal’s class – the class had been studying William’s book prior to his unexpected visit – and said that Jamal had permission to use the paragraph. Forrester taught Jamal a few different writing strategies that I’ve never heard about before. The most interesting, to me, was to just type on a keyboard and don’t stop typing. Once the writer feels they have come to a close, edit and fix the grammatical errors.
In that since why teach the computer programs and such when all of those things are constantly changing so they are going to have to re learn everything they were taught every year. Dr. Stoll says all they really need to know is how to use “a word processor, manipulate a spread sheet, know what a database does, be able to use e-mail, and know how to use the internet.” Lastly Dr. Stoll says that computers are hindering our students basically because they allow the students to take the easy way out. They really do not have to use their brain muscles at all and I quote, “Instead of asking whether or not technology can support the curriculum into a mold so that computers and calculators can be used.” In conclusion the idea and theory the Clifford Stoll has seems to be very true and you really cannot deny that because all of the signs are true and every supporting statement that he uses is true because I have either seen it happen or it has happened to me….but hate to say it, I still like to learn from
“A Minnesota teacher of seventh and ninth grades says that she has to spend extra time in class editing papers and must 'explicitly' remind her students that is is not acceptable to use text slang and abbreviations in writing” (Cullington 89). Also, “many complain that because texting does not stress the importance of punctuation, students are neglecting it in their formal writing” (Cullington 89). These points are valid, but the evidence is limited because it is based on a few personal experiences, rather then a large study with much more research.
Not many people stop to question if the information they are reading or being taught is factual. While the events Loewen points out may have some discrepancies in US History lower-learning textbooks; this does not mean all textbooks are incorrect. If anyone were to research any single US historical event he would end up finding out information he may have not been privy to through textbooks. Keep in mind, to incorporate every detail into one United States (US) History textbook is an unfathomable task. Students wouldn’t be able to carry the textbook and it would take years for teachers to deliver them information to him.
That's a bit of an oversimplification, but without more instruction about the structure and elements of each story, it will do for now. There is more to know about the structure of these stories, but if I teach you everything now, you'll have nothing left to learn in high school, and that would be a bad thing! To make things even more confusing, these days, many books are written that cross genres, so you may find elements of a folk tale in a fantasy novel or a mystery. You may find elements of or characters from fairy tales in contemporary fiction, updated for a modern audience. This new approach to storytelling keeps literature alive and is something to celebrate even if it sometimes blurs the lines between genres and makes it hard to give you easy definitions.
