They have enough potential in their hearts to rocket them past the moon, the stars, and the rest of the universe. Changing a community, a city, or the whole world all starts with seeing it in one’s own eyes. It starts with the way one view themselves.

The other side of the coin is of course giving a speech. This is only effective if the speaker knows how to sweep the audience off its feet. The speaker must be passionate about the topic and have the ability to make the audience feel a strong sense of change. A Ted speaker would be the best choice because they are gifted with the ability to connect with the audience. If anyone has ever seen a Ted talk they completely understand the point. If one has yet to see one then it is recommended they see one as soon as possible. Josue Arteaga will be the speaker because this is an issue he feels strong about.

    One of thing things A Pocket Guide to Public Speaking talks about that I want to draw from going forward is forming a specific speech purpose. “Ask yourself: What do you want the audience to learn/do/reconsider/agree with?” (Page 50). This is an idea that I want to keep in mind a lot more before I start writing my speeches. By being able to pinpoint my intentions I believe I will be more effective in making audience laugh or making them consider a certain idea, etc.…

    In 2002 The United States Legislature passed the No Child Left Behind Act. The negative connotations of this act has pervaded our failing school system now for fourteen years. Students, parents, and teachers alike have all grown a resentment for the idea that, despite the effort, a student has the opportunity to fail, parents have the opportunity to bear witness to that failure, and teachers hold the considerable weight of believing it is due to their inadequacy. Individuals who possess potential for something better are squandered and placed in the general education system that any academically unprepared adolescent can comprehend. The process of moving every child along through the twelve years that they are forced to endure the school…

    As I began this class in January my definition of curriculum was based on the academic coursework teachers use to instruct the information. Now my definition of curriculum is anything that falls under the auspice of the school that includes coursework, classroom arrangement, instruction, assessment, student engagement, and community involvement. My perspective is curriculum is what students learn in and out of the school. We need to teach students to become learners and problem solvers for the 21st century.
