Classroom

During childhood we were always instructed to sit straight. In my class (age 16) with 40 students, I noticed about 15 students slouched during a 45 minutes lecture, and towards the end about 22 were seen slouching. The students slouched for an average of 20 minutes in a lecture of 45 minutes. Contrarily, in middle school classes students (aged 13) slouch less, in a class of 30 students only 6-7 students slouched. The time for which they slouch was for about 5 minutes which is lesser in 16 year…

This “Mom’s Demand Action” advertisement is visually dreary and bleak - the dullness of color creates this effect. Ethos is present in this advertisement. “Moms Demand Action” is a campaign focused on securing gun reform to promote safety for all, particularly school-aged children. Therefore, this improves the visual’s credibility and effectiveness. Additionally, the font is appropriate and the organization's name and logo are positioned in the bottom right corner of the advertisement. As we…

Students get loud and obnoxious in class sometimes. In fact, students have a difficulty concentrating and being quiet in class. For example, on a late Friday afternoon, a student at Forest Park middle school was talking very loud and obnoxious to his friend in math class about the plans they were doing this weekend, while the rest of the class was working on an important test. This is important because the student is not getting their work done during class time. This leads to the student…

It was the second week of school junior year, in my third-period physics class. The bell rang shrilly, signaling the commencement of my own living hell. The teacher - a small, wiry man with a bit too much bite - sat in the back of the room. Grade book, and red pen in hand, he waited impatiently with a cold glare. The clock's ticking was loud in my ears and mixed with my rapid heartbeat. His eyes brushed down a list of names quickly and came to a sudden halt. With a glance toward me, he called me…

During my stay at Brock University, I had the opportunity to meet a large variety of professors and educators each approaching teaching in different unique ways. Many seek unity in terms of what is best for a student 's learning experiences resulting in many professors debating over the most efficient and effective method. Some professors prefer to stay with using limited amounts of technologies and sticking with traditional methods of testing such as exams and essays . Others feel that using…

, I thought Trudy and I did a very good job being as though that was our second time doing a full session. Before we started filming we both were nervous that we were going to run out of things to say but fortunately we could make it past ten minutes. Trudy and I are friends, so I believe that made us more comfortable in the conversation. We were able to take about her attitude in and out of the class room and also her job and family. There were a few times the conversation got challenging but…

Athletes but Still Students Everybody thinks that athletes can just breeze by school but in reality it’s far from that. For me this topic is something I can talk about, because I was a student athlete for years. Student Athletes doesn’t get as much credit as they deserve. Everybody thinks they are not the smartest, that the teachers just hand them grades they didn’t deserve, and staying up with little rest. It doesn’t matter if you play football, baseball, basketball, or softball, or any sport…

Recently, I read a sensational book, Surviving the Applewhites. This stupendous book is written by Stephanie S. Tolan. Within the story, there are many important characters. Yet, I believe there are three characters that are the most important. They are E.D. Applewhite, Jack Semple, and Destiny Applewhite. One of the characters, E.D. Applewhite, is an important part of this story. She is really organized. Meaning, she sets up her own curriculum for what she learns in school and…
