A Few Questions

My first question asked the student, “How long have you attended Concord University? (Do not have to be in succession)”. This question allows us to see if the time that the students are here is correlated to the student’s opinions of the institution. Question two states, “Do you reside on or off campus?” This allows us to see if students are happier when living on or off campus. With question four I used a skip logic so that if you answered on campus you would move to the question, “Which…

Critical question: I wonder what happens when I try improving lesson pacing by first incorporating effective transitions and procedures in the classroom, second checking for student understanding, third using effective lesson planning, and fourth assuring that students are engaged? Contextual factors: I conducted this action research project in a Title I school, where I was an intern. I am at the school two days a week all day. The school I am at currently has 82.16% free and reduced lunch. The…

what to expect. I did not know if she was going to be some mean teacher that would make me uncomfortable to speak or if she was going to be an understanding, kind teacher. I was grateful when Alyssa told me from the start to not be afraid to ask questions and if she needed to go longer than the hour given, she would. I instantly felt at ease, and I was not as nervous. Alyssa had asked for my planner, which was set on top of the tower of textbooks, and asked if I had any tests coming up. I handed…

series of disturbing answers to the questions. He adds that five of the questions in this poem are the answers to the opening question which is pretty complex. As we read the poem with a closer look, Harlem consists of eleven lines separated into four stanzas. The first and last stanzas contain one line while the other two contain seven and two lines respectively. With every line, the speaker blends it up by making few lines short, and others longer. A few lines contain only monosyllabic…

findings were not surprising and went along with Piaget 's Theory. The one with the drawing pad free questions that we had to read word for word to get a certain response from each of the participants along with those questions I asked a few probing questions to try to gain a deeper understanding the participant 's developmental…

My past few weeks within the Crawfordsville Middle School have been eye-opening for me when it comes to understanding the literacy needs for the students in my class. The class has a large range of students, and consisting of twenty-four students fourteen of them have an IEP. Since my time in the classroom in the classroom has been so short I have only been able to witness a few short glimpses into the literacy of these students. So, I will not be able to dive deep into each individual student’s…

are involved. This brought up on of my first questions, which was who is your advisor. Every great club has a strong advisor to over look procedures, so I wanted to know the person behind the scenes making sure everything went as planed. Darren explained to me that Dr. Kelly from the chemistry department was the advisor. Throughout my interview Darren would talk about his past involvement with student bodies at his high school. This is when I questions if all the officers have had past…

Jennifer Allard (2003), a high school calculus teacher from Fairfax County, Virginia, wanted to determine “Will direct instruction in cooperative learning and meaningful group work result in an increase in students’ desire to be part of trusting collaborative groups?” Allard (2003) had a former group four girls in AP calculus that studied together and became a bonded group inside and outside of the classroom. She noticed that the girls’ achievement in the course was increasing. The girls…

was few women of color, the young woman couldn’t escape her childhood memories. However, as she felt the desire of leaving the school, the young women found comfort from fellow students at the University who were also women of color. Personally, what spoke to me in this reading was the fact that the young girl had such confidence and motivation after graduating from High school where most of students were white. Then, when she attended St. kate’s to find herself in a class where there was few…

I felt like the students were able to analyze my essential questions really well, because they were able to make predictions before they heard the story, they were able to witness wacky things happening throughout the story, and then they were able to reexamine if their predictions were right or not. Using the main idea reading pocket chart was a great tool to use, because then they were able to see what some of them thought the main ideas were from the stories and other students to be able to…
