The Eleventh Hour

However, it would be easy to use this story to make more difficult scenarios and number problems. Then using the activity with students from third to fifth grade. I would use the book as a lesson opener to possibly switch up the class flow and allow students to ask questions and work through the story before applying real life people and cookies. Depending on how the students do with the activity I may choose to read the story again as a closer and ask questions on how we could change the story or write our own mathematical story.

“The Long Fall of One Eleven Heavy” is a factual and personalized article written by Michael Paterniti. This article profiles Swissair Flight 111 crash into the Atlantic Ocean off Nova Scotia, on September 2nd 1998. It follows the 229 passengers on board—their lives before the crash, how the crash came to be and the aftermath of how it affected their families. This essay deals with: the significance of the articles’ unique title, his choice of words and the extensive use of dark and light imagery.

How do “The Story of a Hour” and “Still I Rise” express the problems faced by women?

Each child will get 60 seconds each to be the leader so that every student would get a chance to be the leader. I will explain that the leader has to move around in different directions and not to perform hard traveling patterns for their partners. For safety persecutions I will make sure that they keep their distance from other groups so that they do not bump into another group. Any student who does not follow the rules would be taken out of the activity immediately and given an alternative assignment. At the end of the lesson I will tell the students that they did a great job and explain the importance of the lesson in a way that they could understand.

For this story, I will use Mrs. Mallard as the example, and will discuss her challenges and struggles. According to the text, she was “afflicted with a heart trouble," so based on that alone we know that she struggled with delicate health issues. The narrator further described her as, “young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength.” The ‘lines’ or wrinkles of repression that he speaks of is most likely caused by the stress of suppressing feelings or emotions in her life. Although she described her husband in a positive light, I do not believe she was happy and/or in love with him. My assumption is based on the fact that she demonstrated an incredible sense of relief when she thought he had passed on.

1) After viewing the 13th documentary, I felt helpless, inspired, and stirred to action. Throughout the film, it shows the crucial way white people mistreated black people and how blacks had little to no freedom in America.The message of the film is hopeful and inspiring because it shows that if you want change, you have to fight for it and stand up for yourself. The blacks started to fight for themselves and their rights.

In literature, authors often present characters who come from different backgrounds and fail to communicate. In the short story The Lamp at Noon by Sinclair Ross, a series of events trigger post Paul and Ellen’s argument which leads to a family disaster. Paul and Ellen’s different way of life before their coupling gives them different points of views. This leads to their dispute and resulting in the terrible decision to be made which results in the death of the baby.

I had just learned that I had eight hours to live. How could this be?!! I was so upset. The anger that I had felt, eventually turned to sadness. Just the thought of everything that I was leaving behind was unbearable. I was horribly hurt and afraid.

At 1:10 pm their classes start, and each student sits at their desk either thoroughly bored or thoroughly interested in what’s being taught, but their all watching the clock waiting for school to end at 2:40 pm.

The lesson plan 3 was about “Time by the hour” for math. Throughout the time in my placement field, I get to observe and teach in my cooperating teacher’s 1st grade class. I had learned so much about the students and enjoyed working along with everyone. At the end of every planned lesson plans, I have learned so much and gained some useful information on how to become a better teacher in the future. In this lesson plan 3, I had reflected on my past mistake and learn to grow from it.

The students ranging from high school to college are encouraged to use teamwork and problem solving skills to complete the task.

Within the eleven chapters that comprise Waiting 'Til the Midnight Hour lays a treasure chest of information for anyone interested in Black or African American history, particularly the civil rights movement that took place during the 1950’s and 1960’s. I am a self-professed scholar of African American history and I found an amazing amount of information that I was not aware of. Like most who claim to be Black History experts, I was aware of the roles of Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, W.E.B. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey. However,

In “The Story of an Hour” we are taken through a journey. The journey is the thoughts and emotions going through Mrs. Mallards (Louise) mind. The journey only takes an hour, so everything moves at a fast pace. Louise seemed to process the news of her husband’s death without an initial element of disbelief and shock. She goes right into the reaction of grieving for her husband. She quickly begins to feel other emotions. At first she does not understand them. The journey is a way that Louise comes to her final thoughts of freedom. She looks into the future and looks forward to living a long life on her own terms.

Upon my arrival today, the students were silently working on math skills using number lines. Once they finished, they went up to the teacher’s desk and had her to review their work until it was time for recess. When the students returned from recess they changed to Ms. O’Neal’s class for reading and social studies instruction. Prior to beginning the day’s reading lesson, the students completed two worksheet pages. One of them was on main idea and details and the other was on sequencing of events. With the main idea and details worksheet, the students collectively read a passage and determined the main idea along with 3 supporting details. With the sequencing of events worksheet, the students read a passage on Hurricane Katrina and were to fill in a graphic organizer with important events and dates

I like the fact that when she asked the question about what happened to her sweater, her students immediately raised their hands. They were all into the story. They wanted to know more about the story. She taught her lesson very well. After telling her story and giving clues that defines main idea, she asked her class what they think main idea means. I think that it is a brilliant way to make your students think and connect. Her students were able to use context clues, and they were able to come up with their own definition of main idea. I noticed that Ms. Bannon used a projector to project the pages of the book so that her students can read along. It is a good way of getting student involved. It also allows for students to practice reading, while Ms. Bannon’s reading out loud. After that, she made her students communicate with one another. It is important to let students communicate with one another. Students interacting with one another is a positive learning technique because they can learn from one another. Also, that way Ms. Bannon is not the only one doing the talking, and that way there wouldn’t be so many teacher to student
