them in the future. A longer school year will teach children discipline and responsibility. A two month break from school is too long. According to Marketwired, during summer kids spend 65% their free time playing and watching TV rather than reading or other educational activities (2014). During this time kids also lose all sense of responsibility. Kids do not take school seriously after such a break and forget a lot of what they learned the year before. Harris Cooper, a…
they had their hands full with a weird new comet. Plus, no one believes a Florida man anyway. DID UFO CIGAR ESCAPE FROM CUBA? A Florida man in Saint Petersburg caught some interesting footage the other day. No, it was not some girls gone wild at spring break, but a strange UFO flying in the sky. Usually, one is used to seeing circular saucers or square like alien objects, but this one was unique. As shown in the video, the out of focus object is long and slender, much like one of the many…
Sarah, That's insane that the Consumer Electronics Show took up space of two million square feet, thats enormous! I didn't know Audi, a automobile company attended this event, that's actually pretty cool because many car companies are implementing various technology features into their vehicles, some even making them in their standard models, but it's understandable why some companies such as Audi, Mercedes, BMW don't put all their features in their standard models since it's a luxury and they…
Our PLC group has influenced my practice by making me aware of the focus areas to improve my practice. I have learned from the PLC to be more observant, to reflect more often, to make sure learning goals are accurate, learning goals are relevant, and to increase the wait time. Our group felt videotaping a small group without us standing with the students would promote the students to talk openly amongst themselves. This would allow the teacher to go back and listen to the conversation, later.…
In the speech by Sitting Bull, he uses a plethora of rhetorical devices to argue his points to his fellow Native American brethren. The three main rhetorical devices he uses in the excerpt are metaphors, personification and compound sentences. One of the main rhetorical devices present in this piece are metaphors. One example of the usage of metaphors would be when Sitting Bull exclaims, "the love of possessions is a disease in them." By this, he means that the white men have becoming…
populations. In a paper by Stirling and Ross (2011), they reported that “most observations of intraspecific predation and cannibalism by polar bears outside the breeding season have been made on land in late summer or autumn.” This correlates with ice-break up and ice-freeze up seasons, and could possibly be related to the sea ice…
that is also like hitting a wall with your forehead. Driving can be different in both of the two seasons and the there is something dangerous about both summer and winter driving, if you don’t pay attention. It doesn’t matter if its winter, summer, spring, or fall, all of the seasons have their own pros and cons. At the end, if someone ask me which of them are worse I would say its winter of course, but they both have their…
The “Joy That Kills” Before the latter half of the twentieth century, it was generally assumed that women would be the keepers of the household but would keep their opinions to themselves. Because women were considered inferior creatures needing the guidance of men, they often lived according to the dictates, morals, and tastes of their husbands or fathers. Women had little choice in where they went and even whom they married—and they were rarely encouraged to think for themselves. As a result,…
Each late spring, individuals run to the Great Lakes to swim and fish in the apparently unbounded waters and climb along the untainted shores. In any case, a foreboding undercurrent streams simply beyond anyone's ability to see. Beneath the water's surface wraths a natural calamity 200 years really taking shape. In The Death and Life of the Great Lakes, writer Dan Egan portrays how the lakes' characteristic history offered route to an unnatural one. From the impacts of worldwide exchange and…
this mine ended up plainly one of the biggest gold mines in America. The rocks there are like limestone that assimilated the gold. Through density, we can track where gold might cover up and has been an effective technique. We have discovered another break profound underground in Nevada. This video interfaces with our lesson since…
