Savannah The isolation room was where I spent most of my days, the walls were starch white, the bathroom was limited to a plastic shower door with a very low hanging shower head, a toilet and a mirror bolted to the wall both utilities were white and bland. There was one double paned window with a wooden ledge covered in past patients scrawlings and profanities, the window overlooked the grassy forecourt. The day I went home from Pine rest was a memorable day. It was Sunday and the sun was…

This course gave me chances to explore various topics and learning approaches about the workforce and workplace education and development. Among the topics of articles reviewed and teaching methods presented by my classmates throughout the semester I choose to talk about service learning, case study method, problem-solving, guided discovery learning, Socratic questioning. The four chosen teaching methods are related, and they are centered around dealing with problems and their solutions. I will…

third grade. A female student used vulgar language in our classroom, and my third-grade teacher broke-off a hunk of soap to wash out the little girl’s mouth. My heart was horrified as my classmates and I watched another student force down a chunk of soap. The devastating scene happened as my teacher and my classmate walked near the sink. The teacher stood next to her student. Then she demanded that the third-grader swallow a wedge of real…

In general society today tries to standardize people without admiring the unique individuality among the people. This is true of David Mitchell’s novel Black Swan Green, a phenomenal and complex coming of age story told by a thirteen year old boy named Jason Taylor. Mitchell shows what it is like to grow up in England in the 1980’s, and how difficult social standards are in that society. This is especially emphasised through the character Jason, as we see the major impact that societal opinions…

non-conformist after learning a few lessons from my peer group. Being a non-conformist enables you follow the decision that suits you the best. Remember I was a secondary three student, my classmates and I had to choose our own electives. Notwithstanding the lack of interest and academic ability, most of my classmates have chosen the most popular electives, which were chemistry and physics. Distinct from other students, I pulled myself out of this mainstream-madness and considered the most…

Kenth Winmore knew he had something wrong with him ever since he was thirteen year old, and he also knew that little something was an unfair thing called a ‘sexual drive’ that surely surpassed all of his classmates and might have even surpassed his upper classmates as well. He found this out by gaining a tiny, twinge of a crush on beautiful boy that was a grade higher than he. It was then he knew he was a homosexual, but unfortunately it was also then he found himself thinking about that one…

being. My exposure to Jewish traditions brought me to the realization at a young age that religious views are different for everyone and that religion can be a way of life. When I moved to Arizona, half of the people around me spoke Spanish. My classmates introduced me to the different holidays, Hispanic dancing, like Folklorico, and the candy. I learned that I did not like candy with chile, but I love De La Rosa Marzapan candy. When I lived in Oklahoma, I was aware of the Native American…

movie begins with Sam White, a biracial, outspoken college radio host uses sarcasm to bring to light the stereotypes that she and her fellow black classmates face being at an all white college. Throughout the film we see her speak on black culture and how white students can be dismissive to it. She makes references mocking her white college classmates in her broadcasts with statements like fear of being political correct when saying African American rather than “black people”; or having more…

share their knowledge with their classmates. The A Little PDA Goes a Long Way: Strategies for Content Literacy textbook states that this is an effective strategy for covering a large amount of information in a short amount of time, and it allows students to develop an expertise on a specific topic (Bell 56). This will assist students in the learning process because it allows them to develop knowledge about a specific topic, share the knowledge with their classmates, and obtain knowledge on…
