Sleep Observation

Improved Essays
When reflecting on your day before you go to sleep, most likely the thoughts that blur your mind involve important events. Nevertheless, our brains see much more than that. If we could recall every significant detail in our day-to-day transactions, we might all go crazy with excess and frankly unimportant details. However, even though these details likely seam unimportant, that doesn’t make finding some kind of meaning uninterpretable; for example, when I glanced out of my car window the sky lacked a single cloud. Astonished with the observation, it would probably be assumed that the initial response to that is, so what.

Immediately I notice chairs scattered around the room on top of black carpet with square patterns. Adjacent to the chairs were black metal music stands that read “BSH” in white text. Surrounding the white walls is white padded lockers. Most of the lockers were consumed with a cased instrument and locked in with a blue colored padlock. Towards the back of this room there was a xylophone, marimba, chimes, and timpani. There was also a drum closet that had snare drums, bass, drums, quint toms, and an excess amount of percussive equipment. My Drumline and I went to our practice room where we use drum pads on music stands. The sounds in that room probably sound annoying to those who are trying to use a different practice room. Generally, there is a distortion of loud tapping sounds with the occasional clicking noise from us striking our drumsticks together. While we play sometimes there would a ticking noise in perfect intervals which is called a metronome. Soon we finish practicing and I head off to my next class. After my ten minutes of socializing I walk into a particularly small classroom with a tile floor, white walls, and a few windows. The front of the classroom invariably has last night’s homework being projected onto the wall. The majority of the class time is used to listen to a lecture. Besides talking, I can hear paper rustling and pencils scratching on paper. By the time we are given our homework …show more content…
The desks are arranged facing the front whiteboard. On the back wall there was a map as well as pictures made by students. The class period, primarily used the time to listen and take notes for a lecture. The room was quiet during the lecture, but once it’s over the room becomes lively as everyone gets ready to go home or to their next class. I finally arrive to my final class of the day exhausted. The classroom has computers in the back and desks made into tables in the front. There is a table almost at the front whiteboard that has miscellaneous equipment from test tubes to sensors that can record and graph all kinds of motion. We are keenly interactive in this class so talking is a normal background noise. After the productive fifty minutes I head home and start my

    It is a former science room, and has two doors: one that opens to the outside faculty parking lot, and another is the main entrance that students use to enter the classroom from A Hall. This classroom is much larger than some of the other classrooms in the building, probably because it used to have science laboratory capabilities. The classroom is inviting, with a Breakfast at Tiffany’s poster and quote lining one wall, and every day, an inspirational quote that illuminates her smart board that helps inspire students before the start of class. In addition, there is a teacher’s desk at both the front and back ends of the room, and the room is built to house about 30…

    Room 0742 is a studio design room located in king pavilion at the Iowa State University college of design. In a way it represents the beginning of my journey at Iowa State, for it is the first class room I had ever been in as a student, and its represents hours and hours of hard work and dedication to my major. It is a rather bittersweet place with times where it became a place to put my work on display as well as a place to spend many long nights and very early mornings working and developing.

    Children need structured opportunities to stop from speaking in order to keep their attention on listening. This is important in my classroom because if students are talking constantly they will not hear the teacher and their peers. Before teaching the lesson I will isolate specific vocabulary words and give one word to each child. Students will have to listen very carefully to what is being taught because when they hear their word being spoken they will have to raise their hand. Students have no choice but to remain quiet and listen to what is being…
