Consider the resources you will need when you sit down to study. If you need to use your computer or to work online, make sure your study environment has internet access and electrical outlets. If you study in your room, make sure all of your materials are easily accessible, and if you study outside of your room, remember to carry your textbooks, notes, paper, pens, highlighters, etc. Also have a snack on hand for your study breaks. If you’re hungry, you will probably have a hard time concentrating on the task at hand 3.2 Summarise the tools/resources required to enable study Pens,
“Private life, book life, took place where words met imagination with passing through world.” On pages 120 and 121, Dillard talks about reading books; she talks about the extent that she reads to, and what happens when she does that. This is the perfect example of one of the functions of reading shown throughout the book: learning from books and using the imagination. Dillard reads a book, and takes in new knowledge. She then uses her imagination to apply what she has learned to then create an imaginary world where she can escape reality. Throughout the book, Dillard reads about experiences, adventures, events in history, and people.
By providing Aria and her classmates with such useful writing tips, it allowed Aria to use it in her literacy narrative, “The Melting Pot of Writing”; she provided each opinion and or experience with supporting claims or explanations. Good writers always supply the reader with supporting details and reasoning for ones thoughts or actions.

Memory is also crucial for learning. Memory is what helps them watch their mom read a book, then pretend to read a book, days later. It is was allows them to watch the people around them and imitate the many things they do. It is the way they observe and implement what they observe
Within many literary works and films the author implants different symbols that stand out to the reader or the viewer and last in their minds throughout the entire story. A symbol by definition is an object that has both literal function and deeper meaning. In the movie, A Lesson Before Dying, there are a few symbols that stand out to me such as the globe, the radio, and the notebook. The globe first presented itself in the classroom when Grant Wiggins went to visit Vivian in her classroom and she explained to him what her children had been doing and the different places they told her they wanted to go. That was one of the first times you heard Grant say he wanted to leave just as soon as he could get out he was going to leave and he wanted to take Vivian with him.
I was flooded with language. I was curious about it as well. I looked at the world around me and would just point at things and look at my mom waiting for her to say something about it. Whatever she said it was I believed her and made a connection in my head with the sound made and the object. I believe most of my literacy was all dependent on my Mom’s ability to help me make these connections, especially with reading.
Beatrice Asuaa Theory of Knowledge November 20th, 2012 So as you started to read my essay about which Ways of Knowing do I think is most reliable, how do you know what you are reading right now Mrs. Duffy? You know this because your senses tell you. You are reading this essay with your eyes, which is your sight, you feel that you are sitting on a chair, which is your touch, and you hear the sound of loud students roaming around in the hallway. Theory of Knowledge is a class I actually enjoy coming too and is not because its an “easy A” as some may say but is because TOK requires you to think about and reason out things we normally do not do in our daily lives. For example, when I get up to get my day started, I do not think about the how strongly certain people in New York felt about Ground Zero and what it meant to them but being in TOK gave me a better view of the situation.
One way is to read books written by authors from a particular culture. Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an authentic glimpse into the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people. For example, when a teacher wishes to expose her students to a different culture, she will often read them stories based on a culture's folklore. To learn about various tribes of Native Americans, she may teach the students stories like The Rough Face Girl by Rafe Martin or The Windigo's Return: A North Woods Story by Douglas Wood and Greg Couch. Another way to learn about different cultures is to try to learn a foreign language.
