Garuccio was actually a really good teacher and taught really well. She would always read us The Devil’s Arithmetic and would always cry throughout the story. I had also created a website for the class and showed it to her and she was really proud of me. I had constantly copied the homework questions from the math textbook onto the website because sometimes people…

The Devil's Arithmetic by Jane Yolen delivers the message of remembering much better and more aptly than the movie adaption directed by Donna Deitch, because of the relationship of the characters, the shooting scene, and the scenes and characters omitted from the movie. The relationships of the characters in the novel increase the importance of the theme of remembering much better than the relationships of the characters in the movie. For example, in the novel, some of the prisoners in the…

I was supposed to report at 8:45 am as the teacher began preparing for the class few minutes before the students entered the classroom. I reached there at…

Science defines the world that we live in. Anything from making a salad to constructing roller coasters requires the involvement of science. But we as humans have not created a way to completely eradicate the error of a measurement reading. Even with all of the advancements we have made in regard to technology and scientific resources, there is no way of getting an exact measurement. This is extremely apparent when looking at chemistry laboratories. When looking at a 50 mL graduated cylinder for…

In The Devil’s Arithmetic, Jane Yolen describes the lives of the Nazis’ victims and how we must all remember the…

Both are about a girl named Hannah who gets transported back in time to the year 1942. The book and movie versions of The Devil's Arithmetic are based on the same events, however, there are countless differences between the two. In the beginning of both the book and the movie, the protagonist is Hannah Stern. She lives in New…

Simultaneous Optimization of Arithmetic Average Roughness (Ra), Geometric Average Roughness (Rq) and Ten Point Height Average Roughness (Rz) Using TOPSIS The present work is to explore the effect of EDM process parameters on the surface roughness characteristics Ra, Rq and Rz. For the experimentation, twenty seven alternatives of EDM process parameters, Pulse on time (TON), Pulse off time (TOFF), Wire Tension (WT) and Wire Feed (WF) were considered as per the Taguchi’s standard L27 Orthogonal…

Rationale: In creating the three SLO’s for this unit, the various needs of the students in this classroom were carefully considered. The three SLO’s are attainable and observable for these students in the timeframe provided for this unit. Accommodations will be provided to make the SLO attainable for each student in the class. Based on the students’ previous assessment data and their performance during previous units, these SLO’s can be achieved within this unit. The unit should take between…
