Environment management. Controlling your classroom environment is an easy way to appeal to students and really does not take a whole lot of time. Plants are a good addition to any room as they add color and life to your classroom. Also, it gives students some sense of responsibility for the room when you have the students keeping the plants watered. I also like to keep trash cans around my room so that students don’t have to get up and interrupt the class to throw trash away. Another…

In Arcadia, not only does Tom Stoppard portray Thomasina’s coming of age, but also the forces that drive her to her death. In this play, Stoppard alternates between two sets of characters. Thomasina is from the 19th century, while the characters in the 20th century attempt to piece together how Thomasina’s intelligence doesn’t drive her to the success that she could potentially achieve. Thomasina is a thirteen year old mathematical genius who discovers methods before they are even commonly known…

played a major role in the connections made between the groups. When looking at communication around the turn of the 20th century the technology existed for people in Ireland and America to communicate but it was nowhere near the scale or ease of access as it was in the late 1960’s and beyond. Even beyond just transcontinental communication, in the latter half of the 20th century, an organization like Noraid could easily spread its ideas and message to a very widespread group with relative ease.…

The purpose of my research paper is to examine the evolution of female education in America during the 19th century. In my understanding that this is a broad topic, I want to focus on the basic educational opportunities awarded to daughters of wealthy and middle class white families. My paper will take a look at the arguments both for and against furthering female education, with a special focus on how education was marketed to appeal to a conservative idea of Republican motherhood and the…

For the past century and a half, much of the world has incorrectly come to the conclusion that Louisa May Alcott intended her novel, Little Women, to serve as a conservative icon that endorses the proper life for women to aspire to, the life of a subservient wife and mother. However, Alcott did not intended her novel to be a propagandist piece supporting the cult of domesticity, the philosophy that women in the 1800s should stay at home and not work outside of the domestic sphere. In contrast,…

industry in the history of our planet has bribed politicians into ignoring science (“Bernie Sanders On The Issues”). Hillary, like Bernie, believes in helping to diminish climate change. We need to strive to be the clean energy superpower of the 21st century. We need to uncover more ways of renewable energy rather than wasting away our fossil fuels. Hillary proposes to preserve, implement, and amplify smart pollution and efficiency principles, launch a clean energy challenge, and ensure safe and…

Be a Motivator Our motivation seems to decrease as we get old. When we are born, we have the motivation to do anything. As children, we are all over the place and into everything. As we get older, we become less motivated to do anything, we sleep more, watch TV more and eat more. Many people believe that our success depends on others, so nowadays we are willing to set back and see what will happen. Some people believe that we are supposed to be motivated by other people and things. People…

In the 1700’s the level of women’s education in colonial America was immensely dependent on race class and location. The main purpose of education for women in the Colonial Time was to learn how to become skilled at household duties. These household duties were meant to assist the young woman in finding a suitable husband. Although, some women did have education, having one was looked down upon in the Colonial Times. In the South, only the necessary subjects were taught to the women. Those…

Initially, the Americans took interest in imperializing other countries after their previous mindset from the 1700s to the late 18th century where the United States claimed that they did not have the desire to extend their influence towards foreign territories. Thus, in order to keep themselves true to their word, George Washington published his Farewell Address that claim that the United States would stay completely out of European affairs if they were given the same treatment in return. At…
