On the 17th October 2015 we went to watch the performance adaptation of Anita and me at the Birmingham REP by Meera Syal and adapted by Tanika Gupta. The performance starred Mandeep Dhillon as Meena and Jalleh Alizadeh as Anita. The play is a touching example of a beautiful coming of age story and follows the tale of a British-Punjabi girl growing up in the Black Country during the 1970s it explores Meena’s struggle to fit into local culture. She soon develop friendships with both Anita and Sam (played by Joseph Drake), however these friendships soon lead to a struggle between friendship and family. A remarkable moment of the performance for myself was the scene in which Anita and Meena are in the family home, which was created by an intuitive,…

“choose questions carefully so that what [I] ask reminds students of what they know about a topic and keep them focused on the objective” (Dean et al., 2010, p. 53). Dean et al. (2010) restate, “providing cues that help students access the prior knowledge about a topic brings that knowledge to the conscious level and increases the likelihood that students will pay attention to or engage with new information related to the topic” (p. 62). Questions also facilitate text-based answers. “When…
Death always comes full-circle. Everyone will die at some point, and that moment is not predestined. Life is never guaranteed, and it could be taken from a person abruptly. Surprisingly, almost no one lives in constant fear of death, even though it’s presence is always lurking. The effects of death on people are obvious, and can be seen in their emotions. Sometimes people are traumatized after witnessing death, specifically a violent one, as seen in soldiers with post-traumatic-stress disorder.…

When I was a child when someone asked me, "What are you going to be when you grow up?" My answer was always, "I am going to be a nurse." When I attended college the first time, my answer became, "I 'm not sure what I want to be." Right out of high school making the decision of what you are going to do for the rest of your life is scary, so I juggled back and forth from teaching and nursing. I eventually decided to take a break for a while until I knew what I needed to do. In the process of the…

I think it is very important for everyone to be able to multitask. A person should be able to do two or more things at the same time and do so effectively. An example of multitasking for me is cooking, cleaning, and paying attention to my son. Now that I am in school I have to be able to squeeze some time into my schedule for my assignments. I can become overwhelming, but it has to be done. Another thing I that would help me is that I am not afraid to ask for help when I need it. There are some…
