Understanding Solstice And Equinox

Decent Essays
The group dedicated two meetings to gathering data and formulating activities that would be beneficial to students in understanding solstice and equinox. As a group, we came to the conclusion of an accumulative foldable, brief essay, and a hands-on group project. The foldable will begin on Monday, and throughout the week as students learn about solstice and equinox, they will be able to write and draw in their foldable. The foldable will be used to reference on Friday during the group activity.

    Each year, school districts are faced with a growing population of students. The issue with this is that many districts have a shortage of school facilities, and they are limited to the amount of money they can spend on each of these facilities. To handle this issue, school districts around the world have adopted a year-round school calendar to ensure they are using these existing school facilities to their full ability. Year-round schooling arranges the breaks differently, causing students to be in school all throughout the year, rather than having three months off in the summer. In addition to maximizing the use of the schools, year-round schooling improves student learning and saves money in the long run.…

    I chose to change the inclination to a 75-degree angle for the third lab assignment. If I were a bird researcher studying a population of birds and the earth began to shift to a 75-degree inclination, the biggest change would be a rise in temperature at the latitude marked with the white “X”. At the original 35-degree inclination, the average temps for early spring are mild and as the months continue into summer; the average daily temperatures do not go above what is described as mild and a half. If a gradual shift began towards a 75-degree inclination, you would begin to see a rise in the temperatures for this region. In the early spring, you might still find mild temperatures but as the spring progresses into summer, the temperatures…

    During summer, students are monotonous just sitting around forgetting material learned in school. Once the school year rolls around, the teachers have to be prepared to reteach old material which was obliterated over the summer by their students. Year-Round Education introduces a constructive solution to this issue. A year-round school attends the same amount of days as a traditional school just their days are stretched out among the year. The difference between year-round schooling and traditional schooling is the way the calendar is tailored because year-round has shorter breaks opposed to a lengthy summer vacation.…

    Fathers and daughters have an exceptional bond. With female adolescence, they need positive male figures in their life, and in Michael Ondaatje’s free verse poem we understand the importance of positive influence through the perspective of a dying father. A significant aspect of this poem is the use of imagery and how it creates clarity in understanding the speaker’s emotions. For example, the quotation “If you hear the sirens listen to it.

    No place better exemplifies bricolages than a shared, college bedroom. Bricolages are “compositions designed by combining pre-existing designs” which “express their creator’s identity and worldview, consciously or unconsciously” (Huhtamo, Meeting 1, 20). Bricolages are analyzed through semiotics, the analysis of culture through interpretations of signs (Huhtamo, “Basic Concepts” 257). College is where many first experience living with people who are not family. In a shared bedroom, styles and tastes that reflect the various backgrounds and experiences of the occupants come together.…

    Everyone in life can be faced with a struggle that they may or may not overcome in the end. Miley Cyrus and Ray Bradbury both understand this universal concept, for they show it in their texts, “The Climb” and “All Summer in a Day”. In “The Climb” Miley Cyrus sings this beautiful song about her struggle of overcoming a metaphorical mountain. In “All Summer in a Day”, kids live on Venus with their family, where the weather is in a constant state of rain. In both “The Climb” and “All Summer in a Day” the texts can be similar to one another because of their use of different symbols to help convey a similar but slightly different theme.…
