The first time I went to Walmart it was an eye opening experience. People there are not as loud as in my country. Having just moved to the U.S, the only thing I desired was to fit in. When my mother shouted “MICHELLE!” in the middle of Walmart. I wanted to die. Growing up in a very close Mexican family is loud. What that means is that I grew up going to family reunions at least once a week. Those reunions involve a lot of shouting for various reasons. One is that there was music all the time so…

Administering diagnostic surveys and assessments among students is the first step in the intricate process of teaching. Analyzing this data is very important, as it provides teachers with useful information. Once the proper data is acquired the results are used to plan for literacy remediation and instruction. Instructional focus is important for the students to begin honing in on their weak areas and strengthening their capabilities. The following analysis is that of a second grader. A…

that is all I did throughout high school. I have many friends who were required to have knowledge of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) for singing. I can now joke that my lack of ability to use IPA is why I never got into singing. I believe learning phonetics would be equally as difficult as learning a new language that requires the use of a totally different alphabet from that of your first language. I understood the different shapes the jaw and lips must take on, as well as tongue…

Knowing all these problems as common errors in English pronunciation, this was kept in mind. The first thing I noticed is the mispronunciation of interdentals by replacing them with Ta and da. Both interdentals are replaced by alveolar consonants. However, this may be just a manner of articulation problem. She isn’t putting her tongue between her teeth enough. What’s odd is sometimes she actually pronounces the interdental consonants. It may have been there was more focus on those words since it…

The sculptural portrait of Faustina the Elder is made of marble and was sculpted between the years of 140 and 160 A.D. She is a Roman piece by an unknown artist, and is housed in the Getty Villa. Faustina is composed of strong lines and shapes to draw the viewer into the vertical dominant composition. Multiple forms break down into triangular shapes that bring the eye up and down the length of the piece, in order to add some movement to her otherwise static pose. Faustina the Elder stands…

A filthy window above his cluttered worktable on the fourth floor of the Leather Works afforded Randy Scott an occasional diversion to watch clouds pass by and wonder what a new year would bring. Winter’s thaw and March’s storms were ushering in the first warm days of a new decade, 1860. Randy was hopeful this new decade would also usher in a better life for him than he had experienced so far. The ninth of July would be his fourteenth birthday, and most boys his age were on their own by then.…

As a high school senior, this is the first Economics class I’ve ever taken. I didn’t know what to expect at all. Talking to most of my classmates didn’t exactly help either. I’ve heard a lot of different opinion about the class, but I knew I had to experience it myself before making a judgment. Some people have told me it was a fun and interesting class while others have told me it’s the most boring class they’ve ever taken. I thought I would be able to compare this class to one of the Social…

Final Case Summary I learned a lot about Miley over the two months that we worked together, but I learned about the things she likes through our interest survey. One thing that Miley really likes is winter, and she drew a snowman for me on her interest survey. She also told me that her favorite subject was the park, which I believe means recess. She really likes the televisions shows Mutt n’ Stuff, Wendy, and the Lion Guard (which is a spin-off of Lion King). Her favorite book is Tap Tap Bang…
