Chronology

It begins with the night of the incident and an explanation of whites versus the non-white population’s interactions and from there follows a loose chronology of the incidents after it, along with relevant commentary of the social climate of Hawaii at the time.

The book is then completed with a detailing of the aftermath of the Massie case, such as the works of fiction and nonfiction that came about from it, the lives of the people involved in the case, the direct impact created by the case, and how people should go about learning and understanding the case in the present…

Recently, Dr. Harvey has been unresponsive to many questions asked of him in class and has been exhibiting a “selective hearing” behavior in regards to certain conversation topics. The behavioral funnel will be used to assess Dr. Harvey’s behavior and the appropriate responses. According to Hawkins (1979), the behavioral assessment is similar to the shape of a funnel. The beginning of the assessment should be broad and consider all possibilities while having a narrow scope of the behavior.…

What is a Community of practice? Etienne Wenger informs us that a community of practice is a “Group of people who share a concern or a passion for something they do and who interact regularly to learn how to do it better”. Given these points, we all have a community of practice. In which we can relate to having a significant event that has helped us identify ourselves as experts, within our community.

The informative speech I gave on Wednesday about “GM Foods” did not go better than I expected that I could have done because I felt time pressure to organize a verbal outline as closer to written outline.

I have picked up a lot this semester, the standards, the social studies fair, and then all of the lesson plans. I enjoy how each of the topic was treated as a separate unit in the classroom. The current events is something maybe too advanced for the children the age I’m going to teach, but I think its defiantly important to keep the children informed about the world around them. During each unit I could have the children watch the news and pick something that happened, to reflect on. I have…

In both “The Landlady” and “The Umbrella Man,” both of the characters show the relation between characters and humans in real life. They both show the…
