Clapping

attention. Then, I will set up a clapping plan that I will start and the students will conclude. The students will be given specific instructions to stop what they are doing, do something with their hands, and have their eyes on me, listening for my directions or instructions. For example, during reading lessons, when it comes to transition and the students must listen to the directions about how to move forward with the reading class, then I would initiate the clapping pattern and would ask my…

It was a beautiful church. Stacked with rows of pews. The old woodworking of each bench with red velvet covering each row. The old worn look of many followers sitting and kneeling. The stained worn wood in front where their hands laid to pray. Windows fill with stained glass to allow the beam of light from the sun to shine through. I could see the speckled particles of dust shining like the light at the end of a tunnel. In front of me was a platform with a podium built of beautiful wood. The…

During this past week we had a STAR activity that we had to complete as a class. We were directed out of class and given instructions on the activity. We were each given a blindfold as well as given a number. The number symbolized the number we represented and we were ordered to arrange ourselves in a line from 1 to 17 without talking or having the ability to see. Once people heard the task I could hear people starting to talk about how they were going to communicate with the rest of the class.…

I watched the performance of Ping Chong + Company’s Beyond Sacred: Voices of Muslim Identity on Saturday, November 19th in Campbell Hall. The interview-based theater production was about the real experiences of five young Muslim New Yorkers from various social and racial backgrounds post-9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City. During this time, Islamophobia was increasing so Muslims in the US were discriminated. The performers each took turns discussing their stories regarding growing up Muslim…

ask him what happened but as soon as the words were coming out of my mouth I hear a monstrous moan. I look back over and I see harambre laying there in his pool of blood struggling to stay alive. Everyone began to clapping and you could hear the mother crying tears of joy. But clapping soon faded and turned into panic, people began to scatter and screams of terror filled the zoo.…

Although Dr. Susanne Skyrm used technical musical terminology to explain what makes Spanish music distinctly Spanish, one can still gain a better perception of a distinguishing the cultural aspects without being a music major. Skyrm started her presentation by playing a brief piece, which she later dissected further. Skyrm touched a bit on the history of Spain prompting its musicality. For example, she explained how Andalucía is the melting pot region of Spain where most of its musical…

Cognitive development was theorized by Jean Piaget, “who forged the single-most comprehensive and compelling theory of intellectual development” (Crain, 2011, p. 118). This theory is separated into four periods: sensorimotor intelligence, preoperational thought, concrete operations, and formal operations; these periods span from birth to adulthood. The first period, sensorimotor intelligence, spans from birth to 2 years of age and was then split into six stages: the use of reflexes, primary…

The source said, “The other inmates were clapping throughout the entire episode and Teresa really got a lot of support from the group. These women have become confidantes and sisters to Teresa, and without this sisterhood, she wouldn’t be able to get through the day.” That wasn’t the only show featuring…

For example, a teacher starts clapping their hands to promote silence from the class. The clapping of the teacher’s hands would signify the neutral stimulus while…
