Johnny Appleseed: Tutoring Report

Decent Essays
For my tutoring session I gave LB the second section of the QRI5 test. This half was where he had to read a passage and then answer questions about that passage. What was very interesting about this test was that LB did a great job reading the first passage about Johnny Appleseed. He was able to answer the questions at the beginning because I think it was because he was familiar with the story. I also noticed that while answering the questions that he had brought in other information he knew about Johnny Appleseed that was not in the story. While reading the story LB did a great job had didn't mess up very much. This passage was by far the best reading he as done with me all semester. When I get LB the Tommie Depaola passage LB really struggled

    The classroom setting is for, four-year-old preschool aged children. The idea behind the preschool comes from Piaget’s theory that children learn by a process of adaptation, assimilation, and then accommodation. During the first step, they interpret new stimulation in ways that fit with what they already know. As the new information assimilates, the existing knowledge modifies and creates a better match. Lastly, the child’s understanding gradually changes from the interaction with the environment.…

    I love Professor Jason Rudy's pedagogy. He is able to incorporate a diverse range of subjects, e.g, music, art, literature, the socio-political landscape as well as show the multitude of divergent voices in the Victorian period. The inclusion of visual art and music is a welcome anomaly to his style as someone who has not been exposed to these aesthetics as much as the literary. The synthesis of his vast knowledge is easily transferred to his students. Additionally, he seems to really want to improve his students' abilities, which is shown in his critique of my essays as well as the individual attention he gives to each and every student.…

    Ted Bunn created a learning environment for students in college to learn specifically about (ladders or physics). He created an article on frequently asked questions about black holes in an eleven page paper.” A typical mass for such a stellar black hole would be about 10 times the mass of the Sun, or about 10^{31} kilograms.

    I found the approach of using a graphic history much more engaging with an audience than the transcript that was presented in Part II of the book. Although I believe the style Getz used could have taken away from the authenticity of the transcript, because it felt as if I was being drug away from the main point of the story. He included the transcript and the historical context, which helped fill many of the blank understandings of the relationships of the Asante societies.

This is important because James Brew, who represented Eddoo, used tactics in order to confuse both Abina as well as…
