Elizabeth, you kept your post short and sweet! I think you did a really great job of weeding out the unnecessary content, and getting to the point of the assignment. It seems that we liked similar things that the author presented the reader with. I think the "Ask three before me" is an excellent bit of advice. It was really neat to read that you have already put this into action in your current career. I think listening to the students is just as important as listening to your colleges. It was also cool to hear that your kids help you with ideas. I had to get my own little sister who is in Elementary to help me with my math course, because I just did not learn it the way it is being taught now. Great post!
4. Self-Assessment: I was impressed on how quickly I found the answer to the Problem of the Week. Normally, in this math class, first answer you get immediately is not the right answer. But this time I got it on the first try. I would rate myself a 10 out of 10 for my
This class has been the most challenging class thus far in my college career. There has never been a time where I have written a paper and it has been picked part so hard and every element scrutinized. I am very thankful that we have the professor that we have for this course that is very uplifting as well as critical when it comes to the assignments. I know for a fact that this class and the foundation that I have laid for the rest of my college career is
The feedback I recieved for both my response paper, and my conversation paper was very helpful in helping me see where there is room for improvement. In my response paper, Amy pointed out a writing error and a quotation error. My classmates suggested that I go a bit further into detail about Freire's ideas.
Your interview with Mrs. Marybeth Elswick was absorbing. I liked the questions and answers that you asked her and she gave you. I like what Mrs. Elswick said about handling the classroom discipline. I know as a future teacher I will take that into consideration. I also agree with Mrs. Elswick about if teachers should be responsible for their student's performance. When you are a teacher, you are being told how to teach daily and not letting things go your way. Even the questions paper you set applies to scrutiny and your notes too. Then what are the form of a teacher? And the second point should be you are held responsible for students performance.
The reason I chose this piece of work is that I believe that many of my strongest academic skills are presented in it. I completely and accurately answer the given
The blues has always been one of my favorite styles to play as a jazz drummer. It has its roots in New Orleans style music and paved the way for swing music.
Leah, I too found it to be an eye opener regarding the statement listed in Task #2 (When we say students can’t read, what does that mean?). The text states: “95% of the textbooks that districts buy and publishers get lots of money for are written at least 2 grade levels above the grade level it is written for. So, unless the teacher modifies the reading and provides other resources, the student is always asked to read something at her/his frustrational level.” I cannot believe that we are actually doing something like this, expecting students to learn not one grade level higher but two! I think that the majority of students nowadays is more advanced than we were back in the day. This is due to technology. As a Childcare provider, I have seen children from 1- to 5-years-old playing with and/on cellphone devices, tablets, laptops, and computers. This is very surprising to me! As a result, I think that this has helped children to learn at a faster pace. I feel that where the school system once lacked the ability to address these students educational needs, due to lack of advanced technology; they have now come up with a way to catch up to where these students are by providing textbooks that are written at least 2 grade levels above their actual grade level. Looking at this text from both sides, I would say that this could be both a good and bad thing. We are talking about a textbook! In today’s society, students are more likely to read a book using a computer rather than
The Langston Hughes Project Ask Your Mama:12 Moods for Jazz filled Sursa Hall on Wednesday, February 17, 2016. Around 7:30 p.m. the show started with three spoken word poets. These poets set the tone for the night, which was story telling through poetry and song. Throughout the whole twelve moods of jazz, a story was told. Throughout the concert, the crowd got to experience a variety of feelings. A fast tempo usually resulted in a fun upbeat feel, while a slow tempo usually left the audience with a more relaxed or even sad feel. The Ron McCurdy Quartet and the Ball State Symphony Orchestra left the audience in awe at the end of the night.
I enjoyed reading your paper. You have a writing style that invites the reader to fully engage your argument. You presented a clear, logical presentation of course material combined with personal insights and experiences that were well suited for your paper. It was a thorough and thoughtful presentation of the material. Well done.
Thank you for the feedback, Professor Bond. My goal is to maintain my A average since I am graduating in May and although it's difficult to hear, I appreciate the constructive criticism. On an unrelated note, I did not purchase the Brief Wadsworth textbook since it is solely required for the final assignment and it costs $150. Are there resources that could be used in its place?
In each section, you made so many great comments. One, in particular, is the section about cisgender privilege. I too recently began hearing this term and this class helped me understand that the term refers to people who identify and express themselves in alliance with their sex assigned at birth (Sayad, p.18). I even referred to myself as cisgender in my bio for this class because I didn’t understand exactly what it meant or what transgender fully means these days.
This week for my weekly writing assignment, I will be writing on my feelings of high school, what I am hoping for, what I am looking forward to, and what I fear. In high school, what I am hoping for is both a learning experience, as well as physical and emotional growth over the course of four years. I would not only like to grow as a student, but as a person. I would like to increase my knowledge in the field of mathematics, because I am very interested in this field. One of my goals for this year is to be able to take courses at the University Of Chicago starting junior year. This will take a lot of hard work, but I believe that I can accomplish this. What I am looking forward to the most in high school are the classes, the variety, and
Writing in your class has been appropriately challenging so far. I feel like I am being pushed further as a writer, improving my skills so one day I’ll be able to use them. It has not been extremely easy for me to write stuff for your class, as some of the assignments are harder for me than others.
In conclusion, so far in this class I have found many things meaningful to me. The academic success skills and tools they shared with myself and the class have actually helped me complete this essay in a timely manner. I am beyond thankful to have three great instructors to teach me more about the great Midland University and what it all has to offer. I believe that if I make the most out of this class, I am more likely to find success in the future. Module One has had a positive impact on my student life and I am beyond excited to learn more every week in the following
I enjoyed reading your revision. The beginning sentence flows better than the first one in the original paragraph. This topic sentence gets me hooked for the rest of the paragraph to figure out what you are going to do to solve this problem that all students have including me every semester. The rest of revision is good, except all the sentences have the same structure and the revision might be better with more vary.
