I buckled down and worked all day on them. Normally I do not struggle as much with writing, but for some reason today it has been a laboring process. I think I am psyching myself out, but I want to make sure my citations are correct before submitting. I was able to submit the discussion questions late tonight/early Wednesday morning. I am so glad to know I have that …show more content…
So with that in mind, I looked up the different styles of management in our text book to find... Informal vs. Formal and so we fit the definition of a formal work group. We also fit "high group cohesion" and "high task commitment" (Carpenter et al., 2009, p.304) The Expectancy Theory applies to our experience in this classroom experience. It is summed up with "effort, performance, rewards" (Carpenter et al., 2009, p. 332) The reason I say that is because we contribute effort to getting our assignments in on time which we value as part of our path to acquiring a higher education in the long run. Each assignment and each action that we make big or small is with the frame of mind that this gets us closer to the goal of a diploma. The Goal Setting Theory is something that is operating on a personal level in each of our lives individually with "Smart Goals" (Carpenter et al., 2009,

    While observing in Beth Johnston’s First Grade classroom at Eugene Field Elementary School, I have noticed some effective and ineffective classroom management practices that she uses while I have been in the classroom. One effective classroom management technique that I have observed is that Mrs. Johnston puts her student’s desks into groups of three or four. This is an effective technique because she puts her strong students with her not as strong students, which can help with the students who might need a little help staying on track with the lesson that they are supposed to get done. Also, Mrs. Johnston has changed the groups a couple of times since I have been observing in the classroom. This I believe is effective because the students…

    I was drowning out the world with the music playing through my phone, twirling the headphone cord around my finger. My hand brushed across the paper as I erased some pencil markings. I observed the text on the brightly lit screen of my chromebook, searching for the answers to the questions on my homework. I stared at the screen with a look of confusion on my face. Little did I know that the next few moments would put my hard work to some use.…

    In high school, we were constantly being told that we could not work in groups because we would get too loud.

Comparing when the students were working on group work to their individual work, the results were polar opposites. The tasks for students was to write down what they knew about 5 sided figures.…

    The North Dakota Association of Honor Society has four criteria that all members should possess and applicants must meet all four to be inducted: Scholarship, Leadership, Service, and Character. Since I have been given the opportunity to fill out the application for the Honor Society and write this essay, I clearly have demonstrated skill in the Scholarship area.

After verification of the paperwork and talks with the family, the team stood by to ensure the patient no further suffering and no further distress felt by the family.…

    All things considered, today was, to abridge, tiring. What's more, miserable. I stay here, writing in this diary at the foot of Jem's bed, viewing over him as he dozes, his rest gradually helping his arm to recuperate, now that Dr. Reynolds has gauzed it. Thinking back judiciously and sensibly, I feel no lament for my activities - in helping Tom Robinson, or in the way I've brought up my youngsters - I just feel an unfolding compassion and disillusionment for the man who had, looking in context, began this entire emergency.…

    Our arrival on the Gulf Coast was marked by the striking change over from open land and farm country to high-rise condo buildings and crowds of boats. The pleasant, little anchorage we found was flanked by greenery and a big luxurious hotel and filled with other boats. After our daily appointment with the sunset, we quickly threw the dinghy in and headed out for another visit with more of the people in Florida we wanted to visit. Our few days in Cape Coral were filled with visiting and chores; evenings of chatting and relaxing with family and days of laying in provisions and preparing for the leg of our journey that would take us across many many miles of wide open water in the Gulf of Mexico.…

    I am very thankful for taking this course as I feel I have vastly improved in multiple areas of my communication. I had never taken a course that involved writing a paper and then presenting a speech on it to the class. It was either one or the other, not both. That is what intrigued me to take this course before the semester started. For myself great strides were made in my ability to convince readers through the toulmin model, learned in this course.…
