Will Hackett

Improved Essays
Will Hackett is a smart, ambitious, and likable student. He loves to participate in discussions and has a lot of great ideas and comments. I believe that Will has a good heart and has the potential to be a great adult. However, Will does get into trouble during class because of his behavior. For example, Will likes to throw items in class. He has thrown pencils, rulers, books, paper, and etc. Also, Will talks back when he gets into trouble. Further, Will has talked, laughed, and been a distraction during the moment of silence and the National Anthem. In addition, Will allows his friends to distract him from his work and then he tries to impress his friends. I have talked to Will many times about his behavior and he has said he would do better.

    Is bigotry in his DNA? The recent offensive comments made by the Nobel Prize Laureate James Watson revealed his irrational prejudice. It’s a shame that such a prominent scientist would make such unfounded and unscientific remarks. He said that he was “inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa” because “all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours – whereas all the testing says not really.”…

    An ELL student is described as a linguistically and culturally diverse student who is learning the English language in addition to his or her native language. In my current fieldwork experience and to the best of my knowledge, there are no ELLs students attending any of the classes that I currently observe. From what I’ve observed, the classes I attend are not highly diversified by ELL’s, those students who are, seem to speak English fluently with no noticeable difficulty. Therefore, I am unable to give any descriptions on learning accommodations as of now on ELL’s. However, there were many lessons that did observe that accommodated different learning styles, that would also help ELL students if they were present in the classroom, such as, visual, auditory and tactile learning accommodations.…
