Capote’s purpose of this passage was to create an ironic effect on Nancy’s typical beauty routine before going to her weekly ritual on Sunday’s. This was the night of the murder and because Nancy does not know that the pretty dress she has chosen is going to be the one she will be buried in, it creates an empathetic and frightening sentiment to the occurrence. Her Sunday ritual requires “cleansing” so she is taking a bath and washing her hair, she is the vision of a pure and religious individual who will unknowingly have her life taken away that very night making her seem even more innocent. This makes me think deeper as to why the killer chose her and her family when they were all guiltless and had good morals. This event occurred so unknowingly…
“Knowledge is based on innate ideas,” famous philosopher John Locke once said (Palmer, p76). Knowledge is the key to understanding, using, and creating material objects. Many philosophers thought of material objects in different ways. John Locke categorized material objects into simple ideas and complex ideas. Similarly, Plato categorized material objects into the Simile of the Line.…

In this article, I feel that Thomas Abt is trying to express that since the crime rates keep rising, we need to find a solution. He argues that the National Network for Safe Communities helps efforts to lower violence, minimize jailing, and improve relationships between the police and the community. Abt states that, “Civic, community and criminal justice leaders confront criminals with a simple message: “The killing must end now. If you let us, we will help you.…
Context/Commentary This morning during group time, a small group of children sat around the preservice teacher (Emily) as she read a book. This book was selected by Willow. As the preservice teacher read from the front to back, the children pointed out pictures that interested them or had previously seen. On the first page, Oliver pointed at a picture of a green frog. He then looked up at the Emily with a questioning gaze.…
For this time, the baby responds to words a parent uses to label familiar objects and people, by gazing in their direction. Convergence is the ability of both eyes to focus on an object simultaneously, becomes more fully developed. The development of eye sight encourages infants to crawl and creep all around because of this, parents need to keep eye on babies to prevent any injury. Fifteen-month-olds in word extension tasks fail to generalize from a color picture to a referent of a different color (Shinskey & Jachens,…

ASD is a disorder in which children struggle socially and with communication. That being said, the article states that the “cognitive and reading profiles of children with ASD vary dramatically” (Lucas & Norbury, 2014). Therefore, because of the variation and no set determination, so many children have poor reading comprehension and in turn, struggle with their social and communication skills.…

The first phase of sight word development consists of the pre-alphabetic phase. Ehri (1995) stated that during this phase, "beginners remember how to read words by forming connections between selected visual attributes of words and their pronunciations or meanings and storing these associations in memory" (p. 118). Children at this phase have not advanced any alphabet knowledge. Instead, children can read sight words by memorizing the visual signals around or in the word (Gaskin, Ehri, Cress, O'Hara & Donnelly, 1997). 2.6.2 Partial Alphabetic Phase…
The child uses iconic gestures in the sense of systematic language. For example, pointing at an object they require or pulling on the shirt of a parent to get the attention of a parent and says “What that One”. Gesture behaviour or called kinetic behaviour is important is a form of non-vocal means of communication. Early Years Learning Framework Australia (EYLF) (DEEWR, 2009) have emphasised on providing opportunities for children to engage in purposeful and meaningful communication. Furthermore, to experience a range of communication skills variety of occasions or settings, and to use language in different social settings achieves different outcomes in the effective use of language.…
How baby talk can help? As mentioned above, baby talk is characterized by slower and more repetitive tone than used in regular conversation and the speech is more likely in shorter, simpler utterances. Do infants pay greater attention to speech with such characteristics? The answer appears to be yes: They show a clear preference for it, from an early age, over adult-directed speech (e.g., Fernald 1985; Panneton Cooper & Aslin 1990; Werker, Pegg, & McLeod 1994; see also Zangl & Mills 2007).…
Final Paper Throughout ECED 2110, I have learned a great amount about early childhood development that can be beneficial to my current and future experiences working with children. I had the opportunity to learn different concepts through reading the text and discussions, then got to see those concepts demonstrated through the field experience. I discovered the importance of imitation, equipment to the development of motor skills, and interaction with adults to the development of language.…
