    For me, Nelson's comparisons of Disney's Epcot and the World's Fairs of 1893 and 1939 transformed the Fairs from alien events to tangible ones. I was able to recount my experiences at Epcot and develop a personal connection with the Fair's that inspired Disney as I read Nelson's passage. I remembered that when visiting Epcot, I am often attracted to the World Showcase rather than the mechanical and futuristic attractions in the other half of the park. While I have spent a decent amount of time visiting these attractions, I recognize that I am more engaged when strolling past an English pub or through a traditional Mexican marketplace. I think it is worth noting that Epcot's design was also inspired by the human brain.…

Walt wanted a place where children and families could have fun together in a clean, orderly and fun way, and at an affordable price. He knew exactly what he wanted, and it would be called Disneyland.…

    The Literacy Processing Theory charges that literacy learning involves continuous change over time, and that building on strengths makes it easier for children to learn. While children may start with their oral language knowledge and phonological awareness, as they read and write more, they accumulate more skills, and so their ability to deduce more complex reading and writing problems increases (Early Literacy Learning, n.d.). Marie Clay has a definite growth mindset approach to learning. She argues that children are active learners, who all have “unique strengths which teachers can build on to design appropriate instruction” (Konstantellou & Lose,…

    Peter Gray, the author of One More Really Big Reason to Read Stories to Children, argues that reading is essential since it helps children develop morally, emotionally, and socially. The development of these three aspects help children to become better human beings.

    The most exciting part of one’s childhood is when you’re with your family in some place you’ll remember the most. It was 11, March 2010, when my family and I rode a car to Orlando, Florida, where we visited all seven parks of Disneyland. Even though I was not familiar with all of the Disney characters, I was thrilled to visit Disneyland because it is a childhood must for every kid. The best park amongst the seven, in my opinion, was Aquatica, the water theme park, because I love to enjoy all the thrill from the water rides. Another park that I profoundly remember that I liked was Disney’s Hollywood Studios because of the Rock ‘N’ Roller coaster.…

    Technology has given us the power to change and control how people are able to learn. The increase of production in technology (such as computers and tablets), has allowed universal access for the public, instead of an elite few. Due to this, technology has easily been introduced to children through their families; this has changed our children’s lives in the ways that they interact, learn, and play. In the past, we would see kids fuel their imagination through their own form of play, pretending that sticks were swords as they fought imaginary dragons. Now we may see kids creating something on a tablet to show their friends, such as a cool video or art project they may not have been able to create otherwise.…
