Blackfoot language

1. I’ve experienced many word study approaches in my practicum placements. I’ve been lucky enough to be placed with a teacher who recognizes the importance of literacy and teaching word study principles and strategies to their students every time. One experience I had in my first-grade practicum placement was when my mentor teacher was teaching a unit on consonant digraphs. She started off by introducing the sounds that went with some of the common consonant digraphs and explaining what a…

sensory abilities. These pertain to the five senses of smell, touch, taste, hearing, and smell. When the child first begins to understand language, it is these senses that will help him or her to develop a basic vocabulary. For instance, it is only by seeing the object, say a bottle, and by hearing the mother call it by that name that the child…

My reaction to this activity was that it was much more complex than I anticipated it to be. I had to replay the video multiple times and piece together Myla’s words. It took a combination of con-text clues, lip reading and replaying a several 5 second increments repeatedly to complete the dialogue. In our MLU example packets, there were lines of “indistinguishable dialogue” and I felt like that happened more often than just a few lines for me when I was playing the video. I learned that…

Analysis Language is constantly changing which means that different dialects, styles, and registers are evolving and are becoming more apparent in recent pieces of literature and work. People can now be classified into groups based off of how they communicate with one another. Though dialect, style, and register may seem to be considered the same thing, these terms are what help us categorize people into their different social class, groups, geographical areas, and backgrounds. Language is what…

The statement by Nick Stockton refers to the brain's ability to compile and store information that then is retrieved at a later time. For example, students may walk to their next class despite not actively thinking where they are going. However, this kind of generalization is not completely accurate and can skip over details that are irrelevant to the overarching meaning of whatever is being recalled. Such oversight is a contributing factor to peoples' inability to recognize typos. The brain is…

Vygotsky also believed development and learning was shaped by social interaction and culture (Woolfolk & Margetts, 2013, p.323). This is evident in students at school, where English is their second language. Their learning is scaffolded from speaking simple words, sentences, reading and finally writing. Appropriation takes place where students learn using cultural tools in order to reason, act and participate in everyday activities (Woolfolk & Margetts…

Anthropologists see culture basically as a way of life. It comes naturally from the way you are raised and your surroundings. This isn’t something that must be taught, people learn it on their own. Our different geographical locations are often the main factor that decides how someone lives their life. This can cause cultural conflict among members of society that may not fully understand why someone chooses to live a different way from them. Fieldwork is one of the many ways that…

his experiment will trick your mind even if you tried it is called the stroop effect.Stroop effect is a phenomenon that which you must say the color of word but not the name of word. It is easier to say the color of the word than the color that the ink is. For example oif the word black that was printed in black it would be much easier but if it was it pink ink it would be much harder to say.How does the stroop effect work?The words themselves interfere with your ability to quickly say the…

In support of Patricia S. Churchland’s neurophilosophical argument that the brain/mind is our self, I will further argue that our various brain structures, functions, and the related body systems contribute to the important expressive aspects of the self, giving self its valued, unique identities. In her book, Touching a Nerve: The Self as Brain, Churchland uses a map analogy to introduce the brain’s relationship to the self. Although the brain creates a map that “constitutes a representation of…

Introduction The purpose of this fluency minilesson is to develop students’ ability to use text clues to read accurately and fluently. A fluent reader is defined as “having the ability to read with speed, accuracy and proper expression” (Salvadore, 2015). Readers must develop fluency skills to make the bridge from word recognition to reading comprehension. Fluency is an important necessity for skilled reading and reading comprehension (NICHHD, 2000). To transition from the beginning reading…
