Great Essays
The school bell finally rang, with ‘all’ the students, presented in all of their classrooms. 2-1’s homeroom teacher: Asano Keiichi had already taken attendance. The students were learning about a list of Japan’s historical figures,” Minamoto no Yorimoto was the founder of the first shogun….” He read, through his small book. SLAM!! The door swung open, making the class look up. Keiichi annoyingly paid his attention to the schoolgirl, bending over, panting, and sweating,” I-I apologize for being late!!” She ghastly apologized,” That’s alright. Take your sea—“Keiichi said,” I REALLY, REALLY APOLOGIZE!! I PROMISE I WON’T DO IT AGAIN—“Cho begged,” Katsumo-san! That’s enough!” Keiichi snapped, angrily. Cho perked up,” S…Sorry…” She apologized, quietly. …show more content…
Now, moving on…The Sengoku Jidai, also known as the Warring States was a time of social upheaval, and heavily involved in military conflict,” Keiichi read along,” …Now I know the majority of this class are skeptics, but many of our forefathers believed that they have encountered mysterious creatures and ghosts, known as ‘youkai’.” Cho shook at the word, a youkai! That’s exactly what Haruno is! Keiichi flipped to the next page,” The most famous tale in Ancient Japan was about a snow youkai, with a misleading name that means ‘spring’.” As Cho flipped the textbook, she found an old picture, covering the left page. The picture revealed an old samurai, long black hair, with parts of it, blended in snowy white, tied into a high ponytail, his skin was coated grey, with a black scar on his left cheek, his right eye was orange, the other red, his teeth were long and sharp like that of a snake, a crescent earring, hung from one of his pointed ears, and sharp white nails. He appeared in heavy samurai armor, wielding a long, icy katana. Th-That samurai…!

    The award-winning Entre les murs, directed by Laurent Cantet, follows the story of a difficult French language and literature class, but more specifically, the relationship between the class and their teacher Monsieur Marin. This relationship is often portrayed as strained and difficult but we are also shown a more pleasant side to it as well. The film has a documentary feel to it due to the use of a hand held camera, diegetic sound and a lack of music which is usually seen in films. Many techniques are used throughout the film to represent the relationship between François and the class including the use of dialogue and filming styles. Both the pupils and teachers from Entre les murs are pupils and teachers in real life (Day 2009)…

    The pair and the teacher whose discourse I analyzed, performed a complex frame crossing ( blending) interactions as they worked on a task. The task of having to perform a talk show performance from chapter 6 of The Phantom Tollbooth book ( Juster, 1961), pushed Maya and Heaven to revisit the chapter and continuously referred to it as they co-constructed a figured talk show. In the moment of them acting, reacting, and negotiating meaning, I found that the pair’s discourse have been mostly featured with framing , reframing , and blending activities as they tried to define the conditions they were in. That pair’s discourse was generally shaped by the task and by the principal ( giver) of the task .…

    In Fried's second chapter of The Game of School, the main idea he conveys is that once students are given labels in middle school, they move onto high school where they compete against each other for college opportunities, stopping at nothing to get to the top; with the arrival of college, they start spending time partying instead of retaining what they learn. First, in middle school, the two main things students do are aiming to get to the top of their classes as well as the social hierarchy. The article states that "Both demand conformity and obedience, as kids try to push ahead of others to land in that top group, academically or socially, as they minimize their individuality in order to fit in. " This means that students adhere to invisible…
