bit of innate skill; that is, they are set up so that some people are naturally better at them and practice, while beneficial, is mostly ineffective. The fourth game, Presidents, though, is one where only hard work, hours of study, and hundreds of flashcards lead to success. My first year of playing, I did not want to practice Presidents or put in the hard work necessary to score well. Consequently, I did not get a good score: At Nationals that year, I tied for eighty-eighth place. The next…

Quit, that is written by Drew Daywalt. During the picture walk of the book, ask the students to look at the pictures that are beautifully illustrated in the book and recognize the shapes in the pictures. The teacher can also show the vocabulary flashcards of the shapes and colors to the students that can help in recalling the previous knowledge. Read Aloud: The Day the Crayons Quit Read the book in a small group or in a large group depending upon the needs of the students. Tell the students…

After the United States voiced their support to assist developing countries get cleaner water and have better sanitation the United Nations made a declaration. They declared 1981 to 1990 the “International Water Supply and Sanitation Decade”. During this decade the “US Agency for International Development” (A.I.D) created a program called “Water and Sanitation for Health” (W.A.S.H). WASH, along with many other projects, helped provide 600 million more people with a drinkable water supply and…

the regional level and gradually expand; I had the strange ability to memorize medical terminology. My life began to merge my regular activities with medical terms; when my volleyball team would workout in the weight room, I would sneak a stack of flashcards into room and study them in between reps. A proctor administered my test one day in the middle of October and the results would not be presented until the regional conference in November. Volleyball came to a close and I had one week to…

Misunderstood Minds Question 1: Briefly discuss each of the student’s specific learning disability and what you think of the interventions that they received. The first child shown in Misunderstood Minds is named Nathan Vanhoy. Nathan’s teacher became aware of his lack of phonemic awareness. Nate does not have the ability to distinguish among the different sounds and break words into their individual sounds (phonemes). In his situation he spends a large amount of time decoding words, which…

I completely agree with the statement, “If you think you’re not a reading teacher, think again!” All content areas have a language and involve some varying degrees of reading which includes domain specific vocabulary words, sentence structure, text features, etc. that students need to know how to navigate in order to fully learn and comprehend the text. For example, in math students need to understand what terms such as “greater than” and “all together” mean in order to solve word problems.…

The scenes of innocent, yet precarious, friendship between two boys, Amir and Hassan (the son of Amir’s father’s servant), focus on what it means to be a true friend while mirroring the gritty conflict of Afghanistan’s volatile political and cultural history. The opening credits of Arabic-inspired calligraphy seem to represent the connection of all the characters in the story. This is a story of two boys in 1975, but also one that stretches the limits of culture and time to represent the most…

asked and if they don’t respond try to reword the question in a more suitable and simpler format that may help them to understand. From my own experience I have found that by pointing to the specific object that I am talking about or even through flashcards is good to help them recognise what I am asking. When talking to the service user I feel it 's important to use appropriate language. This can be in relation to bad language, slang words, terminology used or dehumanising them use words such…

Writing has been my talent since grade school; I couldn’t sing, or dance but I could write, or so I thought. Then, I entered high school and realized that writing required a lot more than it did in middle school. The brisk pace and advanced comprehension skills required for my English three AP course caused my grades to suffer. I have struggled with college level essay writing tremendously, but through hard-work I have been able to write with more ease and finesse than ever before. At the…

I am a visual learning. I learn best when I can see stuff on flashcards than listening during lecture. I learn better if I can have a picture behind a situation than someone describing the situation. Also, when it comes to test, I do better when I can see it first on the study guide than if a teacher announces what…
