A Deeper Level

Jarriett Hicks Response 1 The Creation Accounts were pretty interesting to read, since I have never read any creation stories besides Genesis. Seneca and Thanksgiving Address are really intriguing as I question the authenticity of the many creation stories worldwide. Are all the stories created based off of one person’s assumption and passed on for centuries? Where is the truth? Despite my epistemological questions, I can say that Thanksgiving Address appears to be the most logical of all…

due to the warming oceans, melting ice sheets and rising sea levels, our earth will never be the same II. Body A. Warming Oceans 1. Since 1969 the oceans have risen a total of .302° F 2. 80-90% of heat caused by CO2 emissions are absorbed by the ocean a. Warmer water causes hurricanes and tropical storms b. Extreme weather is most likely caused by warmer ocean temperatures 3. Species need to adapt or they will not survive a. Rising deeper sea temperatures causing coral to die b. Zooplankton…

Problem solving is a system used to get to an answer. It could be used for many subjects; however, it is especially displayed in math for the early grades. Problem solving has many branches and avenues that stream from it; there are many ways to define it. In my math for educator’s class we spent multiple days fine-tuning what it means to problem solve. We added more terms to our concept map as we used problem-solving skills in our lessons. The main theme in defining problem solving is that…

inability to act as the reasons to why he does not kill Claudius even when he had the perfect chance to. However, Hamlet’s rumination about when and how he should kill Claudius shows his deeper understanding about life and reveals his enlightened state. His deeper understanding about killing Claudius below the surface level of seeing this deed solely as revenge. As Claudius kneels before Hamlet, Hamlet says, “A villain kills my father, and for that I, his sole son, do this same villain send to…

design, I had never had enough Technical Theatre II students to have a stand-alone class, now I do. Since each year Texas University Interscholastic League holds a competition for design, and we had never competed, I felt it was time to begin the deeper study of design; it was welcomed when this year UIL picked Macbeth as the design prompt for the design competition. It dovetailed nicely with my desire to add in-depth script analyst study I had planned for Dramaturgy and since…

global market economy, democratic government and a diverse population- but yet like many other advanced nations, the country still faces unresolved issues of their own. A recent census reported that approximately 14.8% of people in America lives in the level of poverty, that is around 50 million people struggling to survive each day (Milligan). But why, in a place of such great power & wealth does this still occur? Why is it that poverty is still prevalent today in the United States?…

be assessed with multiple forms of assessment. They will be assessed on each skill that they need to use in order to be successful in solving division problems. Each set of math groups will be assessed in different ways based on their mixed ability levels. In this classroom, there are typically two different summative assessments given at the end of each unit. The assessments are usually slightly different in terms of length and rigor of problems, but appropriate for the group of students that…

rote memorization, but they practiced retrieving that memorized knowledge and applied it and made connections, which pushed meaningful learning. A lesson I can take away from Keil’s experience is that it is possible to find a way to promote higher level thinking with very simple tasks. Kiel took vocabulary and spelling,…

What constitutes a sport? I believe, a sport is an activity where the mind and body are challenged. For example, we all know basketball, football, baseball, and soccer all fit under the category of being a sport. However, we get into more of a deeper question when we think about poker, chess, swimming, or ice dancing. In my opinion these would be considered competitions rather than a sport. I believe that if you are competing against another person or team and this activity requires strategy or…

life. Travelling to games and practices, working out during the summer, and participating in training camps were a few of the extra efforts I made in order to reach my goal of playing hockey at a University level. I made the Midget AA team during my last two years in North Bay, the highest level of hockey offered for girls in our city. Although I was not one of the senior girls on the team, I was named assistant captain because of my work ethic and dedication. That year I took on a supportive…
