Essay 1 Throughout the course of this first half of the semester we have read over multiple different readings by different authors that all have intertwined such as “The Framework for Information Literacy”(FIL) as well as “Only Connect” . “Imagination and Community” by Marilynne Robinson is a short essay we read over earlier this semester that brings up the question of our community and of those who make it up. One of Robinson’s biggest concerns is that her imagination of a community of acceptance and diversity can not be achieved. Putting it all together the FIL emphasization of consuming and producing information and the qualities of a liberal education from Only Connect give us the traits necessary for the community in which Robinson talks about.…
“I had this rare privilege of being able to pursue in my adult life, what had been my childhood dream.” This quote by Andrew Wiles might as well represent what happened to Patti and Robert in terms of their art, which seem to be the opposite of who they used to be as children. The book Just Kids explained how both Robert’s and Patti’s childhood influenced their work of art. Just Kids begins by explaining the core of Patti’s and Robert’s art, which is their childhood. Patti and Robert both come from a poor family.…
As a top executive of Endless Imagination Book, Inc., I noticed that internet retailers, such as Amazon, is causing my consumer base to decline drastically. So, I hired a business consultant to present me with ideals to maintain and grow my customer base. I understand that social and technology factors are controlling business success. Some people don’t find value in visiting the bookstore to sit down and read, rent books, or purchase books when there are ways to stay at home and have the same access. So, there are a few changes that I will embrace to become successful.…
I listened to all of their ideas and I we helped each other. My team won the debate. I also taught a Social Studies lesson before. The students understood the lesson. I answered their questions and acted like a teacher would.…
On November 7 I was a speaker at the NC Promise Tuition Symposium held at the University Center. I helped setup the Symposium by arriving at five pm and passed out flyers to students entering and leaving the University Center. After the flyers were passed out the event began with Alexandra Cole who was the introducer. Senator Cole explained what the NC Promise Tuition Plan contained and gave the procedures on how students can get a question answered either at the event or online. After Senator Cole introduced the event she then introduced Haley Gardener who was the speaker of the major effects of the Tuition plan at the academic and financial level.…
The articles “Imagination in Practice”, by P. Anne Scott, and “Speaking My Mind: The Problem with the Power of the Imagination”, by Linda Payne Young, both create an argument about where imagination stands in the real world with the effective use of rhetorical strategies such as ethos, pathos, and logos. Emphasizing focus into the workforce, Linda Young argues that the problem with imagination is that the excessive use of it in schools and society brings a negative impact along with it, compared to Scott’s belief that imagination is a necessity in the workforce, specifically the medical field. Imagination, at times, may get out of hand but is ultimately an attribute that society can’t go without. To an extent, it is a critical aspect in certain…
As a result of my personal failures I failed Coach Hanford as well as our seventh period class. Due to my lack of participation our class has failed the give project. Perhaps if I had participated more in class our chances of success would have been greater. Consequently as a consequence of my lack of participation, our class failed.…
2.3 I can assess the strengths and weaknesses in my final work Upon completion of my presentation I noticed a couple of changes that needed to make to improve my work to its full potential. The following things I noticed were: • My graph was too small so I upped the size to make easier to read as it was hard to read the smaller numbers on the axis. • My video was too long so I shortened the size of it to take up less space and to make it shorter and quicker to watch Additionally one of my peers noticed something on my PowerPoint that I can improve, this was: • Some of my hyperlinks on my contents were not working so I had to re-do them so that they went to the page to make it easier for the person using the PowerPoint, which is very helpful if they want to learn and read about one specific thing instead of having to go through each slide to get to the one they wanted to.…
Concluding Essay: Importance of the sociological imagination In sociology, the focus on the social is very significant because it allows sociologists to see much that escapes the notice of other observers (McIntyre, 2014, p. 29). The focus is not on one particular individual, instead the focus is on the social environment and the ways it affects people. To do this, sociologists rely on their sociological imagination. “Which is the ability to look beyond personal troubles of individuals to see the public issues of social structure.…
This week, I was able to be more involved in the actual teaching within the classroom. Last week, I monitored student behavior a lot and made sure that everyone was on task when they were supposed to be. However, this week I taught morning meeting and skills block. During morning meeting, we would listen to the daily announcements on the overhead, then I would call everyone down to the carpet to sit in a circle.…
“Use your imagination.” Everyone has been told this at least once in their lives if not many. It implies that doing so is easy, as if there was an on or off switch. In reality, using your imagination is far more complex than that. I personally have a big imagination and I use it a lot.…
I had very limited time to gather a full in-depth research on immigration. However I did find valuable information in the short time span that furthers my understanding of the inequality immigrants face due to negative myths and stereotypes the reflect on public perspectives and political policies. I began my research by attending a film presentation followed by a panelist discussion. The event was held on September 28, 2016 in the USU ballroom at California State University of San Marcos there was at least 500 people who showed. This connected to my topic because I am working on understanding immigration and the documentary for one had showed me empathy and understanding of people who live in Latin America.…
Throughout the year, as a class we have been given many different challenges in either the form of an essay, speech, or group presentation. The final assignment given to us was a group project presentation. From growing up in an age filled with technology, I have come to love projects that revolve around making some form of a PowerPoint presentation. This PowerPoint though, was both difficult and interesting for the reasons of being assigned group members not of my own choosing, learning to listen to others ideas which can help me to learn something new, and using former knowledge while working together to create a clean, in depth, and well prepared presentation. With working in groups of students whom I have known since I was young but…
We have 5 members in our group of whom 2 were male, and 3 were female. After we were assigned the project, we all came together, and made a commitment to do it better, and succeed at it. Firstly, we welcomed ideas from everyone, without setting any criteria. Our project was to reinvent any product with more features that will be helpful for public. It was a very challenging project because we were to redesign a particular product, which should be more appealing to the costumers in terms of features, solution of particular problems, availability, and cost.…
Reflection of Class Lesson The teaching methods that I used in my lesson incorporated a variety of the Universal Design for Learning Principles and co-teaching strategies, which supported all of the students in the classroom, including students with disabilities and exceptionalities. As a means for engagement, I explained in my warm-up why learning root words is important for the students’ future lives, which relates the material to real life situations that they can relate to in their own circumstances (National Center on UDL, 2016). During the PowerPoint portion of the lesson, I called upon students by using a randomizer to actively operate the white board, which engages them by interacting with me, the mentor teacher, and their peers in…
