Therefore they called themselves Pilgrims and Puritans. Of Plymouth Plantation is the document of this long journey through which Bradford became a community leader, governor of the Plymouth Colony, writer and considered the main founder of the American Society. In this paper I chose pages 71, 72 and 73 to make a close reading of two paragraphs where Bradford speaks about the visit of Mr. Morton of Merrymount to the Puritan’s colony. I will first do the close reading of these paragraphs; explain my understanding of them, pointing out some details which I will extract from these parts of the text. Then I will discuss about the literary techniques applied in Bradford’s narrative, regarding these paragraphs above mentioned.

The difference in teaching methods from this starting point consists of whether to teach said alphabetic print by sound or by meaning. Beginning in the 1600s, children were taught the alphabet using a hornbook. From the 1700s through the mid-1800s, children were taught to read through the memorization of the alphabet using phonics, or letter-sound correspondence and spelling lists. Continuing on in the mid-1800s, educators began to move from the phonics approach to the meaning-based approach, or whole-word approach. Around the 1930s through the 1970s, the whole-word approach was used and was exemplified in the Dick and Jane reading series.

Experiences as a Writer Christina Jacks October 10, 2012 Professor Stone My Experience as a Writer: Writing is one of the ways that we interpret our thoughts to other people. Writing isn’t something one is born with; it’s something that actually has to be skilled. I started writing at the age of four; my teachers educated me how to write my name over and over again until I could write it with no blunders. All through elementary school, I was taught to put together words to form sentences and also how to create paragraphs using those sentences. Therefore, during middle school and High school I was able to use what I learned in my previous years to write paragraphs, essays and research papers.
Addressing The Five Pillars Of Reading Instruction Education Essay This paper explores language acquisition using the five pillars of reading instruction identified by the National Reading Panel during the Bush administration. Through published articles, varying levels of instruction, importance and influence of each pillar are addressed. Research-based approaches and methods are discussed as they relate to struggling readers and English Language Learners (ELL) for language acquisition. Functional uses of these approaches in the classroom are discussed.

New directions for establishing a better theory of learning effectiveness are suggested. Beginning in the late 1960's in the United States, the "andragogical" approach to adult education, championed by Malcolm Knowles, provided positive answers to both questions, and in the process, rose to dominate the field of adult education in terms of both its philosophy and technique, this approach became “adult learning theory” (Block, 1996). While the term "andragogy" was coined over 150 years ago in Germany and was introduced into American vernacular in the late 1920's by Eduard Lindeman (Davenport and Davenport 1985, 1986; Knowles, 1984; Savicevic, 1991), it was Malcolm Knowles who put "andragogy" on the modern adult education map. As Knowles (1968) puts it: “Andragogy (is) the art and science of helping adults learn … based on certain crucial assumptions about the differences between children and adults as learners” (p. 351).
