In copying, seek to pass on the essence of the master's brush & methods To the Chinese, copying is considered most essential. Only when the student fully learns the time-honored techniques, can he or she branch out into areas of individual creativity.
BALANCED LITERACY PAPER A balanced literacy program includes aspects of literature-based instruction as well as phonics. Linda Chen and Eugenia Mora-Flores (2006) say that this approach “recognizes the complexities of the act of learning to read and the need to utilize multiple approaches because children learn differently.” There is no one-size-fit all strategy to teach children how to read and write, instead we need to find out the individual needs of each student and give them several strategies to work with. It is our job as educators to provide our children with meaningful opportunities for reading and writing. Before laying out an instruction outline, we need to define our goal. Every year teachers need to
Unit 1 review The hottest topic in Unit 1 focuses on how to successfully learn the literature.

(SLOs 4, 8) Answer: Culture and language can have a huge impact on the development of one’s speech.

Such decisions include a better and thorough understanding of the students´ particular learning styles, their affective needs, and their own personal goals to establish the right balance between teaching and learning. Another essential aspect I need to consider when planning or teaching a lesson is pacing, which again, was one of my biggest problems for this lesson. “Pacing is the extent to which a lesson maintains its momentum and communicates a sense of development. How much time to allocate to each part of the lesson is thus an important decision which teachers must make while planning or teaching a lesson.” (Jack C. Richards, 1997). Thus, I feel I should try the following changes in my teaching to achieve a proper pacing next time I teach a lesson: * Avoid repetitive activities (such as the ones mentioned in exercises 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 in Appendix 3); a variety of activities should be presented
In the analysis step I analyzed the arguments of the topics by writing down the controversies surrounding the issue and writing the claims of the topic. Other key steps taken to design the research question was to create an outline with bullet points to structure my argument.

Every writer must start by familiarizing themselves with the topic by researching from reliable sources. Professional writers must use reliable sources because it is very important to provide the reader with accurate information.

Knoblauch admits that literacy is a necessary aspect to modern society, but warns the reader how educators and other citizens must be aware of the power literacy holds and not to be “blinded by the the light of their own benevolence”, (Knoblauch 452). Tannen also believes that power lies in the educational system itself, but focuses on the style of learning being taught to the students. Tannen discusses the style of education that teaches students that power lies in debate and arguments. For example, “”students are taught that they must disprove others’ arguments in order to be original, make a contribution, and demonstrate their intellectual ability”, (Tannen 546). Unlike Knoblauch and Tannen, Barber believes that the power of education does not lie inside the educational system itself, but by the society
