Reading Reflection

The read-aloud was a much different experience than what I was expecting and it did not go as smoothly as I anticipated. One issue of the read-aloud was that my student was very withdrawn during the entire read-aloud because he didn’t recognize me. So whenever I asked him questions about the book he only answered by shaking his head yes or no. Moreover, he had a flat affect and this caused difficulty whenever I was gauging whether or not he was enjoying the book. While I don’t think the student enjoyed the book as much as I thought he would, he did try to peek at the next page during an exciting part. I think that I would have had better outcomes if I changed the book and increased the amount of rapport between me and the student.

If you had the choice of traveling with one tribe, but didn’t know which one to choose you would want to know almost everything about the tribe as so did Smith and Bradford. John Smith was born in 1588 in Willoughby, England. He left his house at the age of 16 to fight in the Dutch against Spain war. Smith was then wounded and captured into slavery in 1602. After a couple years he escaped in 1604-1605. William Bradford was born in Austerfield. Yorkshire, England. In 1608 Scrooby Separatists leave England and settle in Holland. Bradford then then joins the Scrooby Separatists in Amsterdam. A couple years pass and then William meets a girl named Dorothy May and marries her in 1613. Both men were born in England and ended up in different tribes.

Intern met with resident K. Brown for the purpose of addressing her personal concerns and speaking with her about her community service hours. Kiara informed me that she completed her community service hours for the previous week. Intern asked her to verify the days she completes CS hours, and she stated Sundays and Wednesdays. Resident did express her frustrations by saying that she used to mess up with her CS hours, but she is really trying to do better. Intern advised her that another resident completes hers during that time, so she will have to do CS hours on Mondays and Thursdays or Mondays and Fridays. Intern also explained to her the importance of doing CS hours. It was explained that not only is this a requirement of the program,

The discussion that public administrators should be restricted to only laid down rules in the discharge of their duties bears a great many implications. Whether or not they should have some amount of discretion in performance of their duties may vary greatly depending on the amount of oversight required for the particular level of administration.  Administrators working in the U.S. capitol may not be allowed the same freedom to execute tasks as those working in a small municipality.

Reading your post, I went over to the function you mentioned, recently used. While doing so was thinking interesting; now I have more to play with, I did not even know I recently used some of these, nor where or when. I’m not sure I’ll ever fully know what all Excel and I are capable of especially when it gets to all the bells and whistles, but I am going to come very, very close.

I sat in my fourth grade classroom staring at the bookshelf when suddenly I caught a glimpse of a dark blue book with a heroic being on the front. I lifted the heavy book and began reading Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief. As soon as I started I fell into this mythical world where gods, monsters, and heroes all existed. It was a rollercoaster through my emotions. The thrill. The suspense. The surprising new book had a grasp on me, to stop reading it would be difficult. I felt attached. As soon as I started, I finished. Devastated, my chase of this feeling has never stopped, no other book has given me the same fulfillment as Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief. As a young reader I would love to find the same joy and thrill (as I did back

I printed out this email and I highlighted the answers we were to bubble in. However, once we began to bubble in the answers there was a problem. The overwhelming majority of the students did not know their address. This created a major problem because I was given only one paper with the students’ address. Thus, I had to spend the majority of the time helping students with their addresses. Around 10:50 Tammy Becker walked in and told my class that we were being too loud (I was doing my best helping students fill out their address). She said we were to start the test at 11:05 am. As a result, I made sure we did start the test at 11:05 am. At 11:05 am the students began testing. I followed everything we were instructed to do during the PSAT.

For my critical reflection I attended the suicide prevention presentation with keynote speaker Jamie Tworkowski. Prior to attending this event, I wasn’t very excited. I thought that it would be a boring lecture where someone stood up and talked about suicide. I didn’t think it would tell me something I didn’t already know. It began with the discussion of Jamie’s organization called To Write Love on Her Arms and how it started with his desire to help a friend who was struggling with addiction and self harm and share her story. Her story first appeared on myspace and quickly after the page received thousands of comments and responses, Jamie realized that this is an issue that reaches everybody. Today, the organization has flourished into a

The aim of this essay is to highlight the importance of reflection. Initially by breaking down individual skills including curriculum vitae (CV) writing, book and journal evaluation and self-evaluation through sources such as the initial skills identification tasks and evaluation workbook (InSITE).

Drugs are some of the most dangerous, and illegal substances known to man. Except for the “drug” marijuana, in my eyes it is an excellent working medicine which should be legalized for everyone’s use. Another word for marijuana is cannabis, it is a versatile plant most commonly used for medicinal and recreational purposes, the book The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace demonstrates these purposes well with Rob’s use of cannabis. However it doesn’t demonstrate them all, there is an estimated 50,000 uses for cannabis; medicine, paper, and clothes are a few examples of many. But the number one use for Marijuana is for its medicinal purposes. According to author and researcher Michael Scherer, CBD and THC are the chemicals found in

My student has mastered letter names as well as letter sounds and she can read two syllable words. My student is learning how to comprehend text by exploring the basic elements within a story, while also building vocabulary and phonics.

Writing has always been something I dread. It’s weird because I love talking and telling stories, but the moment I have to write it all down on paper, I become frantic. It’s almost as if a horse race just begun in my mind, with hundreds of horses, or words, running through my mind, unable to place them in chronological order. Because I struggle to form satisfying sentence structure, it takes me hours, sometimes even days, to write one paper. It’s not that I think I’m a “bad writer,” I just get discouraged easily. Needless to say, I don’t think highly of my writing skills. When I was little I loved to both read and write. I read just about any book I could get my hands on, and my journal was my go to for my daily adventures. Although it’s

In 2017, it seems engagement in controversial discourse is the ultimate taboo. In fear of offending others, youth avoid discussions of religion, political opinions, and economic problems altogether. Or, in contrast, discussions of these topics turn hostile and have to be extinguished in the classroom. The result of this problem is that many young people do not know what they truly think about controversial topics, and a generation of apathetic thinkers that never go beyond the mainstream media for their opinions is produced. A society without individual core beliefs and values cannot function as a democratic republic.

In September 2017, I began writing 39C and to be honest I believed that I was going to have no problems in this class. The reason being I had taken Writing 39A and was able to pass that class, taken Writing 39B during the previous summer and managed to get an A in the class. Along with having experience of doing research from high school by trying to researching on local social issues and trying to advocate on how to effectively solve the issue; I thought there was nothing more for me to learn. I was very wrong about that statement in about the next three weeks.

What is learning? Learning can be many things and it is not the same for everyone. Everyone sees learning in their own way. To me learning is always powerful. It is being able to adopt new knowledge or new skills. But learning is more then just gaining new skills, learning is also about modifying the skills you have already and reinforcing what you already know. My views on learning have changed since I started this class, before I thought that learning was only making new skills or adding to skills you already have but no now my view on learning is much more then that. Now I know that it is possible to learn in different ways. I also know that everyone learns in their own way and that everyone has a unique learning pattern. I am a Dynamic Learner. What this means is that I require intentional effort to switch from one learning pattern to another. I use my Technical Reasoning most my score in this was 28. I use Technical Reasoning everyday when I am bored I like to take things apart just to see how they work. I like using this pattern the most it is the best way for me to learn is hands on. I also use Sequence a lot when I am doing woodwork this is due to keeping things in order. My sequence score is 21 and I like using sequence along with technical reasoning to keep my work in order and neat. My Precise score was 22 and I do not use it as much as I should. I do know in up coming classes I will be trying to use this more and ask more questions so I know what I am doing
