It just wasn’t a normal day for them. Then Ms. Wessling begins by explaining exactly what they are doing today and gives out cards to her students to play individual roles for the group activity.

    Arling meets learner needs by dividing the students so they are engaging in social learning. This also allows her the opportunity to work with a smaller group of students as she assists each group. Students who receive individualized assistance, according to research, perform better academically indicating that Mrs. Arling is using the correct approach (Oliver, Wehby, and Reschly, 2009). In contrast, when students do not receive individual attention they can quickly become frustrated which impairs the ability to make connections and store new information (Oliver et al., 2009). By providing specific instruction in a smaller group Mrs. Arling and her aide are able to more effectively and efficiently assist students in a way that encourages learning and discourages overwhelming feelings which could cause the student to stop…

While watching the movie, it really showed me what it was like to be deaf. I was really interested in the origin of ASL, and how it grew.…

    In developing my lesson, I was hyper-aware of the consequence of assuming what students may and may not know. I graduated and do a lot of my work in Fairfax County Schools; however, Prince William County schools and Osbourn Park High School run their English education quite differently. I think this explains my concern over checking with Mrs. Hakes what students may or may not have been exposed to in previous years. In her notes, Mrs. Hakes later remarks how well my lesson was planned, with deep consideration of the observed methods and classroom processes (A. Hakes, personal communication, March 28 2017). This statement expresses my effort to be not only thorough but also focused and concerned with students’ prior knowledge during the developmental…

At this point, the children even felt comfortable enough to ask me for help. Additionally, my cooperating teacher, Mrs. Jessica Diaz, is still extremely helpful and even allows me to teach the students in small-groups. By working in small-groups, I have been able to facilitate learning on an individualized level.…

    The film Hearts and Minds is a documentary made by Peter Davis in 1974 to portray America’s unethical involvement in Vietnam and examine the opinions of many by showing interviews and vivid footages. The film focuses more on those who were against the war than those who supported it. For the U.S. all that mattered was the victory. However, those who were opposed to the war felt that there was no right or reasonable justification for their actions. The real issue illustrated by the film was whether the U.S. wanted to protect the country from communism or to manifest its greatest power in the world by winning another war.…
