First Day of Class Essay

issue in my first artifact for the class. I took the artifact as an opportunity to address to my instructor my goal for the semester and to create a video that would serve as a starting place for my continued improvement in oral and non-verbal communication. The artifact allowed for me to determine the root of my fear of presenting and address the things I hoped to improve through out the class, such as using filler words, such as “um”, “uh”, and “like”. Due to the project being due the first…

Colonial Social Class The first interesting topic I found on the website was about colonial social classes it went into detail about each social class within in that area, and about what each social class was entitled too. For instance, enslaved field hands such as field workers worked Monday through Saturday from sun up to sun down.

I went to observe Ms. Velasquez’s 1th period class, which had about 23 students. This period is also shorter due to the fact that they meet every day. That is the reason why I had to come back to observe the class because what they get done in two days in first period, is what is done in her other classes.

Spanish II an extremely tough course for me, and I am still not sure as to how I passed the course. HEA-110 was my first real college class with real college students, so it was so much easier than all of the rest of the courses that I had to take. Biology was also a very fun class because of…

I first came in contact with LaCameria Clark when I become a teacher assistant in her eleventh grade English class. We would share the occasional joke and moments of encouragement. One day she asked if I could look over her essay before she turned it in to her teacher. The first essay was not fully developed, however she insisted that I read it and tell her my thoughts.

ideas and contributions, questioning, and teacher affect. For each of these, I will explain the ways I have seen an educator be either effective or ineffective in their teaching.

He was a good teacher, but because of his lack of pitch variation, many students…

year in Mr. Zollman’s English class. The beginning of the year, I was very ecstatic about the class. I had heard so many stories about how Zollman gave the best essay topics, and that we read the best stories. This was in fact proven to be true when we read our first article. We noted this article and took a test over it. To me, the test was easy, and I passed it with flying colors. Every day, I would look forward to going to his class and reading new articles. The class read a play called the…

subject in class due to its link back to religion. Thinking “How do these two things possibly connect to each other even Mr. Arnold 's explanation is terrible.”.
