“What was the last thing she saw?...Hatred. Just Hatred. Blind Hatred” Good afternoon students and teachers,the purpose of my speech today is to help and inform you, on how characterization has been used to enhance the meaning of the play, “The Property of the Clan” by Nick Enright and the movie “Mean Girls” directed by Mark Waters. It is through techniques that have helped me understand the relationships, personalities and the alienation of young women and men. Now, in these 4 minutes I will briefly, yet, thoroughly explain how these techniques can give you a greater understanding of the texts and hopefully help you on your upcoming exam.
I was never touched by anyone but when I was in middle school and was growing into my womanly body, a boy who was 2 years older than me told me I had “milk jugs”. I didn’t know what he was talking about until I told my mom and she told me what he was talking about. The boy got in trouble but it just goes to show that middle school children may not understand the language used, especially in this book. I believe I should’ve never known what he was referring to at that
Without those papers I would be lost trying to recall what happened. Going through my papers I found I wasn’t very good at reading. At least that’s what I thought at first. I was reading my teachers comments and they all basically stated that I needed to concentrate and I would be fine. The first paper I came across was the results of a pre-reading composite test from kindergarten.
I decided from that day on, I would keep a journal of my life including the comments people were sure to make about my new appearance. I was not prepared for the way my life changed. I had been just a so-so guy at school, but now I was like famous or something. Girls wanted to help me with my math because they thought I had brain damage with such a flat head actually I did not suffer any ill effects like that. It was just the Dr. listening “hall of fame” on his iPod and the knife slipped and there you have the flat head.
Pythagoras left the city of Croton when conflicts came about. He left to Metapontion, where he later died around 480 B.C. Pythagoras's name will always be around when we talk about math. His theorem will be taught in most all present and future math classes. His brotherhood and school will still be secret in a way because not much is known about it.
My cooperating teacher told me that it’s a good thing if the administration knows your name for positive things not for discipline problems you cannot take care of in your own classroom. As I have had to learn by experience and practice, classroom management is all based on judgment calls. There is no rule book for classroom management and each and every class is different. Having read this book a few months ago when EDU 511 first started I have had a lot of time to be in the classroom. In practice, there are certain behaviors that I have learned to ignore.
viii.v. When I was working in hell, I mean Burger King! I build my confidence by being reliable. viii.vi. You have to do what you said you will do.
With homeschooling, the parents are the ones teaching their children, so they know their progress, strengths and weaknesses. Bittner explains that there are numerous problems with testing and that teachers actually have a problem with it. There is such a frantic need to teach children everything that will be on a standardized test that learning is almost disregarded. If any material isn’t on the main test then it is not taught. The author point out that critical thinking is not on a test so it is overlooked by routine memorization.
I tried to keep focus but my solitude was starting to become unbearable. Yes there were many students around but they all seemed to have their own network since they knew their classmates from their previous schools while all of my friends were in regular ed classes. I started to rebel and slacked off so much that teachers began to wonder why i was in a advanced class since they thought i couldn't hack their work load when in reality all i wanted to do was be placed in regular ed just to be with my friends. Odd and dumb reason, i know but I didn't know that at the time. Eventually I was moved from classes due to my insubordination and i was content at the time.
Preventing Stress in College High school did not prepare me for collegiate paced learning. There are many areas in which I feel high school failed to prepare me. I was not taught time management skills. I never felt that I was responsible for my own learning. I knew that the teacher would tell me what I needed to know for a test.
