Then by Friday the students were to write an additional paragraph but in a quiz manner and then she had another student read the essay out loud checking for the proper content from what they had just studied.</P> | * | * | * 11. | * Assess Leslie's teaching using the effective teaching characteristics outlined in Figure 11.1. * Your Answer: | * First of all Leslie is an English teacher and she presented two English paragraphs to her students, one being written with proper English grammar and the second paragraph written with in proper grammar. She then broke down each sentence and picked different students to explain what part of the sentence was wrong. Second, I think she really cared
Second, given your understanding of style commentary and relying heavily on the mentor text analysis, write a style commentary on EACH of the below extracts (THREE TOTAL). Each commentary should be typed and between 2-4 pages double-spaced. Chosen extracts: 1) page 21-23 2) page 58-59 (ending with “Maureen”) 3) page 78 Other extracts that we will mostly likely focus on in class, but you are not required to write a formal style commentary, though you
Approaches to Research- Early Years writing skills development Having observed and experienced the many differing writing abilities with reception aged children, the principal topic of interest for my dissertation research project is to focus on the writing skills of children when they first start full time school. Robert-Holmes (2005) states your research should have clear aims and be worthwhile. If it is worthwhile it is likely to be very interesting and enjoyable and that is necessary to eventually complete a research project. I have therefore chosen to explore the chosen topic and will start a very small scale research project in line with my approaching future research project. I have chosen this area of research because it is an area of great interest to me and I am genuinely motivated to explore the possible contributing factors which may explain the reasons for such different abilities and styles amongst such young children.
Although high school students have history classes to learn about historical facts, learning it through literature gives students a new perspective on what has already been taught in a previous class. As said by Nancy Methelis, “The history books will give us facts, which we are told are true, but we know they are chosen for the particular text. It generally doesn’t connect in the same emotional way that a fictional work does” (Methelis). Reading Huck Finn gives students a greater understanding of how life was back when slavery was still accepted and common. Its historical accuracy makes it an essential book to be read and discussed in the classroom.
Theory Into Practice-Trends and Issues in Reading Instruction Upon review and reflection of this reading course concerning trends and issues, I am now more than ever determined to stick with my current beliefs regarding reading and young children. As an early childhood educator I believe that learning to read is developmental. A few students come to me reading while others barely know the letters of the alphabet. I also believe that the knowledge of knowing what is truly appropriate for a five year old can only assist a teacher in knowing if there is a developmental delay or a possible learning disability. A successful teacher of beginning readers develop comprehension skills and helps to expose them to wide range of texts to build background knowledge.
I enjoyed this course because it helped me to identify several races. I think that this type of course needs to be taught the younger generation in grammar ages. The students are taught how to read and write, calculate mathematical equations and learn about our history. However, not much is taught in the form of teaching them about equality and to destroy prejudicial indifferences. This type of course, should also continue in junior high as well as high school.
These types of tests are important in measuring student’s intellect, in this case determining if they are ready for college. Teachers get paid to prepare for that next step after high school, but it’s also up to the students to take their education seriously. In the 2009-2010 school years, 84% of the students passed (Holloway). Surely, students must be doing something right. This test has been administered since 1987, and more than half of other states have similar tests (Holloway), so why stop
Name: Maria Bennett Date: April 11, 2011 Course: Foundations for Early Learning PreK – 4; Education 105 B82 Name of Lesson: American Heroes Behavioral Objective: The idea of this lesson is for students to realize that heroes have been important characters throughout history. I will introduce this lesson to 7-9 years old students (2nd grade). At the end of the lesson I will provide a worksheet and they should be able to match the hero with his/her accomplishments scoring a minimum of 75%. Materials: Technology, worksheet, pencils, erasers, Classroom board, Book Barack Obama Of Thee I Sing A Letter to My Daughters Illustrated by: Loren Long Classroom Board Motivator: Students will listen to the song “My Country” Tis of Thee – the first two verses while they come up with any American Heroes they know or heard about. After listening to the song the students will make connections and share with class some names of American heroes that they know.
7 Things You Should Know to Achieve Your Dreams I still can remember my first year study in Pace University, desiring to know as much as I can about American and Pace, adjusting to American teaching style, while terrified to talk with strangers. For most international students, I believe improving their English communication skills, familiarizing American culture, and achieving an academic accomplishment are on top of their list when studying in American. However, it is not easy even though you are already here. After several years learning, practicing and countless embarrassments, I discovered several things you should know at the beginning of your journey here to achieve your best potential. * Communication is more important than grammar.
HOW I CAN IMPROVE MY STUDIES FOR GRADE NINE I can improve my studies for grade nine by building good study habits, work harder on your assignments and talk to your teacher(s) about my grades. I can start doing this now in my second term of school. I can build good study habits like review the lesson plan prior to class, take my quick notes neatly in class, if you read the material before class you will have an idea of what doesn't make sense and concentrate of your teacher's explanation, don't make notes on what's already in the book, it wastes your time and attention, if it's repeated more than twice it's going to be on the test and plan your breaks in the short and long term. I should skim through the textbooks to review the lesson. I take quick notes, but they are not clear so I should start colour coding my notes.
