“Ordinary human beings are born with an extraordinary ability to fight evil with decency” (Rusesabagina 109). Paul Rusesabagina is the definition of this quote , he was an ordinary man, with an extraordinary tongue. Paul’s tongue was his most significant asset throughout his career, the genocide, and his life. Paul did not need a machete or a knife during the genocide, his tongue was his weapon. He used the power of his tongue to defend the refugees, the Hotel Mille Collines, his family, and himself from the evilness of the genocide.

Almost yearly, teachers are inundated with new information on “best practice” and how to increase student achievement. “Given that everyone has different learning needs at different times—we learn at different paces, have different aptitudes, and enter classes with

Walter Schirra is an remarkable astronaut, who, along with his other remarkable missions, was a commander of Apollo 7 (one of the most succesful and famous space missions in space history). Before he became an astronaut, he was a test pilot for the Navy; when he first learned about the Mercury mission (which would be his first space mission), he wasn't that interested in going, which I found very interesting. But as he heard more about the idea, he became more and more interested in going. I thought this related to me a lot, because I have many instances where when I first hear about something, I'm not interested at all. But then, after I hear more details about it, I get more interested, and end up trying it. Walter also had two daughters,

Madera High is an ordinary high school in a fairly small town of about 60,000 people. Although the usual picture of bullying portrayed in the media does not occur here, there are still other forms of bullying and harassment that happen often. Cyberbullying has become the new form of harassment that teens use to bully other students. Social media is now the platform bullies prefer to use rather than the physical confrontation that bullying used to be. Through recent years, it has become an epidemic that has taken over the internet and social networks. It has made it even harder for students to get away from the bully or the person harassing them. At Madera High the amount of bullying seen at school by other students and staff is fairly low,

Christopher Manavi (like others SEO geeks) was well known for his uncanny ability to make people’s websites appear on the first page of Google’s search results. We call this Search Engine Optimization (or SEO). However, in 2009, he came up with a revolutionary idea. He thought, “if SEO was about moving your website up on Google’s results, then there is going to be a need to move certain information down the same page”. For example, if there’s a bunch of negative reports about a company, that company will really be happy to get that information out of the first page of Google’s results. This is great value to a company’s reputation, and he called

Imagine you’re in a classroom full of teenagers that don’t want to be there, and are known for being violent and doing illegal activity, and now you’re expected to teach them math. This was the situation of Jaime Escalante. Jaime Escalante took a stand during the 1980s by teaching in a way that helped the students understand that he wanted them to succeed and impacts us today by showing that teacher support can help kids succeed.

In the film, various students are shown to be quite vocal about what they believe they cannot accomplish, and this mainly revolves around Jaime Escalante’s math class. Many students claim that math is just not for them, that they do not understand it and are better off without it. The filmmaker specifically shows this through a scene in the beginning of the film when Escalante asks different students a simple question on a basic concept in math and given in return unsure answers. The filmmaker gives close up shots of the students looking down at their desks, seemingly unconfident in their own understanding of basic math. The students at first resist trying to take math seriously, but with time Escalante eventually succeeds at sparking their interest and showing them that they are capable of a lot more than they believe to be possible. Plenty of students today deal with low self-esteem and may even limit their own advancement and achievements simply because they do not believe in

Covered in tattoos with a tough as nails attitude, Frank Iero has cemented his place in the alternative music scene and the hearts and minds of millions. Never having been one for conventionality, he got a scorpion tattooed high enough on his neck that no normal shirt collar would be able to cover it. This was done to ensure that he would never be able to get a regular desk job. Growing up in the household that he did, allowed his musical creativity to blossom into limitless areas. In My Chemical Romance, he cemented their core line up and rounded out their sound. He has created more bands than one could count on their fingers and toes, which helped his expertise bloom. Frank Iero is an integral member of the early 2000s alternative music scene due to his amusing upbringing, his role in the My Chemical Romance, and his various other musical ventures.

Religions have historically incorporated elements of mysticism into their broader teachings in order to help explain the inexplicable or to provide alternate routes to the Divine for their followers. While more the conservative sects of a religion typically look down upon mystical schools of thought for straying too far away from what is written in their sacred texts, most will simply accept them as another group of lost souls looking for answers to the universe’s deepest questions. In Judaism, mystical tradition is referred to as “Kabbalah” and, unlike most other mystical schools of thought, it stays true to the smallest details of Jewish Law. This close attention to remaining consistent with greater Jewish tradition has made Kabbalah more

Now, with the recent implementation of the Common Core Program, more pressure has fallen on teachers to follow the guidelines with exactness. “Today, teachers are being forced to follow a script. They teach to the tests and fear job loss if they don’t see the expected results. The result of this test giving, job loss fearing style of teaching, is written all over the faces of the little kids caught in the transition” (Hurley). This new and improved “script” holds

According to our book, Matthew Maury was known for discovering worldwide patterns of winds and ocean currents. After taking the time to study many ship logs that no one else had considered, Maury developed a coherent wind and current chart. This chart helped others to work with the winds and currents and sail more efficiently. During the Civil War Maury acquired war vessels for the confederacy.

Compare and Contrast two of the Gospels. Mark and Matthew is the Gospel I will be comparing and contrasting. Mark was written around 70 AD. Mark identity was unknown, but tradition it was known as John Mark the friend of Peter. Mark was the first Gospel written. Mark emphasized Jesus humanity, displays real human feeling. Mark words were written to give strength and courage to early Christians who were being persecuted for their belief in Jesus. Mark audience was Gentile Christians. The framework was Jesus teaching, preaching and miracle. The location was in Rome and the symbol was desert lion. Peter was friends with Mark and Matthew. Matthew was written 70-85 A.D. The location was in Syria (Antioch). The symbol was human figure. The symbol

To start with we need to use the strategy of getting our students in the correct mindset. As a preschool teacher, I already understood the value of the process instead of the product. Every day my preschool students take chances and fail. I create an environment that gives praise to students who try. I believe this concept is just as important when teaching Common Core Math. The Standards of Mathematical Practice calls for students to be able process and solve the math problem but also to explain and justify their answer. As teachers we must be willing to let our students take chances in Math. To not tell our students they have the wrong answer right away but to guide them to come to the conclusion their thought process was wrong. Students are only able to do this when we allow them to come up with answers to problems for themselves and work on justifying their answers with their peers. I believe by allowing students to take risk in Math we will have more students not afraid of the subject and will end up having a better understanding of concepts being

Challenging classes and work is a challenge because many students get stressed over the work they have because it’s too hard. Most students may think that the work is easy, but other students don’t. But today teachers can help these kids overcome these difficulties. Students that struggle may take longer on test and give up on questions they don’t know rather than asking for help. That’s why teachers should always help students

Students want and need work that enables them to demonstrate and improve their sense of themselves as competent and successful human beings. This is the drive toward mastery. But success, while highly valued in our society, can be more or less motivational. People who are highly creative, for example, actually experience failure far more often than success. Biehler (p. 225) claims that studies show that when CAI used in conjunction with a teacher's lessons, is particularly beneficial for low-achieving and young students.
