Chalkboard

I established a 15 hour technology fast from Saturday 10 PM to 1 PM Sunday morning. I selfishly chose this time frame because I knew that any other time during the week would be nearly impossible to accomplish. Since, I am indebted to my technological devices to complete assignment, manage my schedule, and meet required responsibilities. In addition, I chose to include sleeping hours because it would cut a majority of the time that I would be without technology. However, I did not want to fully…

question with another question. Although it wouldn’t be near as funny and take away from the comedic value of the skit, it would have to change to a very dry and enunciated conversation. They could also draw it out. Perhaps in the skit Abbot pulls a chalkboard out from the side of the stage and draws a baseball field. He can then write the names of the players out on the chalk board. Another way Abbot could get Costello to understand what he is trying to say, is by slowing down and having him…

The Trumpet of the Swan by E. B. White is a children 's book, published in 1970, that is full of talking animals, strange events, and fantastical elements. Even with the lighter tone of the story, White’s writing style and storytelling still hold symbolism. From racism to overcoming adversity, White’s stories have a deeper meaning that can resonate with us all on a personal level. The main character of this story is Louis, he is a trumpeter swan.

What is the difference with educational change? I agree that in some cases we still teach from an industrial educational standpoint. We have not transformed our educational systems as we should have. A lot of times individuals will say that the quality of the education in the United States is down compared to other countries or how students are better prepared in other countries. In the U.S., we allow everyone who wants to go to attend. I do believe that teachers are not engaging their…

in a school, followed by the basic computer back in the 1960 's. By the 1990 's we see portable computers being used, these computers are called laptops and about that same time we see smart boards replacing the whiteboards that replaced the old chalkboards that were used since the dawn of the modern school. Today, the level of information at the tips of children 's fingers…

my own beating heart and ragged breathing. My shaky hands are not meant for this elegance. Anxiety does not dance with me. Anxiety is the shadow that follows me and watches my every step, yelling at me if it believes something I did was off. Its chalkboard screech frightens me. The constant stares gets to me, bringing immobilizing attacks. It makes a fool out of me.…

Throughout the globe, societies expect individuals to conform to its own ideologies, customs, and laws of its own. An example of this is Albert Camus’s “the Guest,” in which Daru struggles between the clash of French and Arab culture in the plateaus of Colonial Algeria, and the isolation created by moral dilemmas. Outside of societies like Colonial Algeria, readers function in society as well. They, readers, use their own societal expectations to define right and wrong within a text. But often…

Students with special needs often struggle with attention and memory. Students who struggle with attention are often unable to focus on what is being taught or they simply get too tired to pay attention. Students with memory issues are unable to remember how to do things, or facts and concepts they have been taught. For both vital skills I have developed a lesson plan that will assist my students with both attention and memory building. The lesson I chose is teaching my students about shapes…
