Deborah Brandt says sponsors “are any agents, local or distant, concrete or abstract, who enable, support, teach, model, as well as recruit, regulate, suppress, or withhold literacy—and gain advantage by it in some way” (166). Bob Gibson didn’t become a full-time teacher until he was in his mid-40s, and his experiences on that career path highlight both the benefits and the hindrances a sponsor can provide. Those experiences also demonstrate how integral a mixture of positive and negative…
at this age is to first do 9+1, to get 10, and then add 3 to that. Thus the equation would not be the order in which the cards were turned over, 3+9+1, but 9+1+3. The teacher was stressing this idea that the children could add up the number in any way they like, but the equation needed to represent their thought…

Intake Form Critique I chose to critique the intake form that is utilized at my current job Third Way Center, as an opportunity to gain a better understanding of my agency’s intake process.

Well, you can be both right and wrong with this question. Sure, college parties are a great way to meet new friends and have some down time and fun after classes, but if the student allows this get too out of hand, that is when things start to go wrong. Students should be allowed to have fun in college. There is no rule against having fun at…
feelings about Napster being an online tool to share music and it being a way to steal music. Inevitably I agree with what a gentleman in the documentary said, which was somewhere along the lines of how the artists and record labels should have adapted and adjusted to the new technology instead of fighting it.
