sources like Justin’s dad. Ryan should of authenticate this essay by adding more details to his personal experience during summer and erasing all the nonsense he rumbled about. This are a few things he could do to improve his essay in the introduction paragraph he supposed to guide the reader, but he not only did the opposite but also encourage me to stop reading (if I had a choice). He confirms that summer vacations go back in history and in the last sentence says “since the beginning of time” like if summer vacations where part of our pass. This without mentioning the pints he will discussed in the body of the essay. Then in a single sentence he affirms what a writer purpose of writing an essay is “I intend to prove within the course of this essay”. In paragraph two he added the definition of summer and vacation; this is not necessary unless the writer is using the words with a different meaning. These type of words have a solid meaning, therefore is not necessary to define what they are. Ryan compare the Xboxes and PlayStation with wooden games and puzzles of the ancient past. This cooperation is not accurate because these items are not even made of the same material and the only thing they may have in come is that they are games but so different. He continued on paragraph three by saying that ‘summer vacation is a tradition as old as summer vacation itself”; this is just rumbling. He mentioned ancient past but forget to state what part of ancient pass and how much in the…
Summer Learning Loss School serves a variety of purposes in society, from providing the foundation for students to gain critical knowledge that they will need before they enter the real world to creating a place for students to interact and learn how to build relationships with one another. The very foundation of the human race’s dominance or superiority over all other species in life is the intellectual knowledge we have obtained over a period of time. With that in mind it is very important…
minds should be kept in the same rhythm as agricultural seasons. They believed in teaching children the basics such as reading and writing to make them productive citizens, but not “over-studying” them. Educational reformers did not want to over school children because it caused mental disorders which they believed derived from over exhaustion due to long confinements while studying. Moreover, historian Kenneth Gold states that when relieving children of too much studying, it allows them to…
developmental writing and/or Intermediate Algebra, students will only focus on passing the course for admission to the university of their choice, rather than focusing on the sole purpose administrators are forcing us to do; learn. The amount of time given at the Early Start program makes professors stuff all academic goals during the time interval; which only makes students forget as soon as they step out of the class with a “passing” score, that is, only the students who actually need the…
form of schooling introduced in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s was a year round school system (Pedersen, "The History of School and Summer Vacation"). This system allowed for more days within the learning period and allotted for students to get more out of their education. Research from all the way back to a hundred years ago has shown that students tend to lose information and their footing during a traditional summer vacation (Fairchild, "Why and how communities should focus on summer…
verbosity and intellectual perplexity. An exception to this norm, Dave Barry pleasantly plays with rhetoric and satire to convey an opinion while simultaneously humoring the reader. His article, “Discover Your House,” is so saturated with jokes that at a first glance, one may feel as if his purpose was simply to make them laugh; it seems as if it provides no real objective. This, however, is his unforeseen genius. Dissecting his prose wit by quip unfolds how Barry 's uniquely handled wordplay…
As the school year began coming to an end, and summer vacation was drawing closer, my long awaited plans of staying home, relaxing, and spending time with my girlfriend and buddies were finally going to become a reality, everything was going perfect and according to plan. But things were looking too good to be true, and of course they were. My girlfriend Luz came up with the idea of signing us both up for summer classes, so that we can be able and get ahead with our college studies. In the…
Story of a Book Reading and writing are key elements of literature. Reading and writing were never a hobby for me. These two elements are fundamental principles for everyone’s education, so there goes me learning how to read and write. Only times I get interested in reading and writing is when I read and write something interesting, like something with a meaning that makes you think, or something with a cause. I love learning how to speak new languages, which interests me to end up reading and…
most writing I had to do was during my English class, it was a expository reading and writing course, where I read a story and write about a topic on the story. While I was writing, I tend to write more and more til I don’t have enough for my paper, and sometimes when I don’t, I tend to plagiarize from other sources, which makes me feel guilty and impulsive because I know I don’t learn anything new and exciting, I just do it without forethought, when I should actually be creative and come up…
for students to make the best of schooling. Long summer vacations are causing children to lose knowledge of the year before that they need to know. Year-round school would prevent this loss. Even though year-round schooling causes administrators to burnout, it should be active in all schools because it eases overcrowding, it offers childcare year round, and it improves academic achievements. Year-round schooling has been adapted in many schools throughout the nation. “More than 3,700 schools…
