Receptive skills:
According to J. Harmer in his book The Practice of English Language Teaching, “receptive skills are the ways in which people extract the meaning from the discourse they see or hear”. In the following text “Playing with your food” the main skill that is being practiced is reading and along with it other sub-skills are being developed such as practicing new vocabulary, reading for gist in order for the students to understand the main idea.
Enhancement of receptive skills will increase the rate at

Rationale: this activity will help students practice spelling, vocabulary, grammar and text formation which differ quite a lot from speaking.
2. Speaking activity:
The teacher asks the students to divide in groups and of 2 or 3 and elicits that each group is a musical orchestra that uses different materials for their instruments, such as vegetables, old office materials, fruit or things they can find in nature. Each group will have to decide on its name, style of music, instruments and activities. What kind of songs they have and some history that they can imagine. After this they will have about 5-6 minutes to prepare and then they will have to introduce themselves to the rest of the class. Afterwards the class will vote which musical band might get in the leading positions of the radio charts.
This activity will be useful to students as it encourages them to practice new vocabulary from the text, etc. biodegradable, environmentally-conscious, and to interpret the new information in their own way and engage in a spoken dialogue.
Ex.1 Read text and answer the following questions:
1. What makes this orchestra different from others? (they make their own instruments from vegetables)
2. How is the orchestra called? (The Vienna Vegetable Orchestra)
3. What happens to the vegetables after a
It is important to ensure that we meet the need of the students on every level. One effective way to do this is to observe, assess, and record children’s efforts and progress. In this way, an educator can prepare to help a child’s progression in the class. Being able to track and refer to the progress of a child helps to ensure greater levels of success. In the end, our program is only as successful as the children in our care. Record keeping can identify areas that need improvement, and allows us to teach to their strong points.
Within my school literacy lesson will be planed by the teachers, the teacher will go over the
Skill number six is where the resource family understands how to help the child develop a strength based understanding of his or her life story and to make new meaning of their trauma history and current experiences. The goal is to guide the resource family with strategies on how to talk about the child’s past, build meaning to his or her life narrative, and process new information that the child discloses. Some tasks associated with this goal include:
The instruments in the first gathering included bass, drums, conga, trumpet, alto saxophone, shaker and vibraslap. They performed two quick tempo melodies for drums and percussion, and every instrumentalist was given the chance to hold a performance. All through the execution of the first gathering, the bass player was absence of innovativeness and specialized abilities that should have been be cleaned; his spontaneous creation was a progression of specific scales that were dull and basic. Then again, he was extremely rhythmical and had decent state of mind toward the group of onlookers, coordinating great with drums and knew how to connect with the gathering of people. Particularly, the alto saxophone player was not the same as different instrumentalists, since his tones were more vividly communicated than some other payers. His act of spontaneity was confounded and inventive too. His pitch and rhythms were exact. Notwithstanding that, he executed as harmony with trumpet player in a brief moment performing melody, where he demonstrated a decent feeling of flow. In general, despite the fact that every part of the orchestra possessed the differential musical skill, but they coordinated with each other quite
There are many factors which can aid language development, particularly through writing (Watts et al., 2013). Jones and Coffey (2013) identified that writing should be developed procedurally through copying, initially at word level- to learn spellings and develop familiarisation with vocabulary and individual letters. Before then progressing to phrase-level and on to sentences. It is thought that through copying the children are beginning to memorise the vocabulary and can help them to engrain key sentence structures, as they pay close attention to the individual words and spellings. Macaro (2006) has also identified that copy-writing is often used as a way of remembering spellings for new target vocabulary. Hurrell (1999) criticises the motion of copy-writing: as it gives the children too many things to focus on.

The aim of this essay is to give the reader an overview of the types of study skills necessary for a student to study for and attain a Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector. In it I will discuss my personal approach to study and the study skills I need to use on the programme. The essay will highlight the skills I feel are my current strengths and draw attention to the areas I need to develop. I will briefly describe and evaluate some different reflective models and in relation to these explain the type of reflective model I use and how this helps me to understand how I can improve my learning experience and my study skills in order to study more proactively.
COM 110 through its reading materials and discussions has challenged me to think out of the box. The two learning objectives that I have gained knowledge and developed my skills are:
The next group was the Orchestra. The Orchestra was unique because most of their instruments were string instruments, such as the violin and viola. The Orchestra also played two songs, ‘She Will Hang the Night With Stars’, and ‘Dance of the Comedians’. The Orchestra sounded very good; however, they did speed up on both songs. One thing the Orchestra did well was they had very good articulation and bowing. Especially on ‘Dance of the Comedians’, it was very audible that they were changing their bowing and accents during each section. It made the song sound exciting; even though it was a long song, it was not boring to listen to. On their other song, ‘She Will Hang the Night With Stars’, their dynamics were very good. They were able to play parts
I was waiting for my turn in a line to do my pull ups test and my body was tire shaking soak wet. I knew that my goal was attainable fifteen was enough to show I deserved to be there. I visualized myself doing it with proper form, close to perfect while breathing in and out profoundly. My turn came along and the Navy SEAL that was training us looked to me and said “you go”, I jumped and graved the bar with a strong grip, in front of the top tier leadership of the police academies magnet schools, without adrenaline or nervousness doing my pull ups. I was in my pull up number nine when I felt that I was not able to sustain the form of the exercise and I gave up there. I was finish and then the Navy SEAL acknowledged me because I was the only
This includes Chamber Strings, or Honors Orchestra. Honors Orchestra was initiated at the beginning of the year. The difference between Honors and regular orchestra is that you need to try out for Honors. There are 13 members; three first violins, three second violins, four violas, two cellos, and one bass. I was fortunate to be placed as a second violin. My family is immensely proud. Our music this year is exhilarating. We are playing contemporary songs and multiple classics. I have practiced often only to find that the music is interestingly challenging. In addition, I have met numerous people due to the incoming seventh graders. Having doubled the size of our orchestra to a truly incredible size, the seventh graders are extraordinarily talented and enthusiastic. The orchestra program has, and still is, continuing to enhance and
“Orchestra is a group of musicians who play together on various instruments.” For examples an orchestra could be The Chicago Symphony Orchestra or The Elgin Symphony Orchestra. Some examples of what instruments that are in orchestra is a violin and cello etc. Orchestra has string instruments such as the violin, viola, cello, bass, and harp.
An orchestra is made possible through a process involving multiple parts and/or people. And that process begins with the composer. A composer is a person who writes music, presumably with the intention of having it played. Composers are the beginning of orchestras, as the whole purpose of an orchestra is to play written music. Without the music, there is no orchestra. The orchestra itself consists of musicians playing various instruments at the same time. These instruments can be broken down into four types of instruments—woodwind, brass, string, and percussion. Because the orchestral musicians play the music itself written by the composer, they are essential in the overall performance. One of the most important skills orchestral players of high caliber have is their ability to multitask in a performance.
