It was really hard for me to get some of my points across during this period of my life because I did not know little words such as “sando” in English. I slowly got better in English by practicing more at school and by hanging out with friends who
Brianna Cameron GOVT 2301 December 1, 2010 Cumulative Essay When I first signed up to take this class I thought it would be extremely boring and hard to stay focused. When I hear things about politics I automatically tune it out simply because I do not understand what is being said to begin with. This class has opened my eyes a little in more ways than I thought it would. Taking this course with the teacher I had raised my interest level in government, which was not something I expected at all. I figured I would learn about voting rules, passing laws, the constitution and what is was made upon, and what the difference between being a republican or a democrat meant.
I didn’t realize this book went over so much different things, like how the Ku Klux Klan got started, and Drug dealers living with their parents, I would recommend this book for everyone to read it was very interesting to me. I didn’t realize Macroeconomics would fall into this. One thing that I didn’t know was that teachers would cheat to get there grades up to get a better bonus; I guess I just came from a small school. I would have to agree with the Author of this book, that there is so much stuff that goes on in this world that we don’t think about. We stay in our own little community, and not think what is going on outside of it as long as we are happy and safe.
Although when Miss Mac called him, he was rather surprised that all that time had passed. But he still should have been responsible enough to complete his task. In conclusion, the conflict in those two pages is that Simon is having a hard time completing his work. He doesn’t realize the problems that he is causing for others. He doesn’t do it on purpose; it was just a onetime thing.
I used the back cover to do most of it and the teacher, Mr. Bougie, knew it. When he handed me back the book report, he looked at me with a smirk and said, “You should read the whole book next time.” Not only did I fail, but to have my teacher look at me and comment that way upset me. I wasn’t interested much about reading in the first place, and that made it even worse. Mr. Bougie was a pretty decent guy, but as a teacher he wasn’t very inspiring; teaching was just a job for him it seemed. I did manage to make it through fifth grade and the following year with the same struggles but kept moving on.
For our group work, we talked about the totalitarian regimes. This helped me a lot because I was able to share my ideas with my peers and receive more clarity on the rulers. Now I can confidently discuss these topics, but I still feel confused on the differences between totalitarianism and absolutism. Overall, going over the reading as a group and then discussing it as a class really gives me a better understanding of what I am reading. Regarding my research project, I haven't really had time to go over all my sources and fill in my outline.
As a teaching practitioner I often take time to think about how my lesson had gone, sometimes very simple, practical issues came to mind e.g. I had tried to cover too much content during the session and had been forced to rush things. At other times I would think about individual class members, perhaps two members of the group had not participated in an activity. I would then think about why this might be. This type of reflection was instinctive and not a conscious decision, therefore when faced with the compulsory aspect of reflective practice, my initial thoughts were that reflection was a subjective process that I did not
When I work with other people in groups, I feel a little at ease because I can get a different look at the situation at hand. When people speak about what they know it is usually what they were raised on. So, that is why people have different outlook and thoughts about curtain situations. Some people do not talk when they are in collaborations at that is because they may not feel like they are included or they may be shy. That can be a disadvantage for both me and the other class
I mostly learn by listening to a teacher talk and writing the most important information. When I found out that I didn’t have a professor explaining the subjects I was lost on what to do, but I did my best. Fortunately some subjects provided webinars to help me and it made me more comfortable having someone explain in more details and having someone there to answer questions right away. I wasn’t too sure about online schooling, but as my family said they are on my side and they help me through the times I don’t understand the material much no matter how much I read it and researched it online and try to understand it myself. Since my boyfriend is taking college courses, we decided to start studying together Sunday nights after dinner so we would get to see each other more often and be able to finish some work together.
I gained some confident after I perfectly completed the answer. In actual fact, I worried more after the break time. He let us to self-read then we have to write the introduction for the topics which he just listed on the board.
