Harry Harlow was a psychologist who ran test on Rhesus macaque monkeys. He originally ran test on the monkeys to see how the would maternally bond. He would arrange the monkeys with cones covered with towels. He would then have the “mother” shoot cold air or spikes at the infant monkey. This was to stimulate an abusive mother.

In 1997, nobody knew that the new book Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s (Philosopher’s) Stone by J.K. Rowling would change society forever.

Literacy is more than a skill practiced and developed over-time. I believe that the art of writing is undoubtedly a rare passion that cannot be overlooked. When one has the gifted ability to give simple five-lettered words a more powerful meaning than their literal definition, they should consider themselves lucky. Not only does literature allow us the space necessary to grow alongside the millions of authors, but it also exposes us to the many different styles of writing. Through reading, we…

When the email appeared in my inbox, I knew it was bad. The subject heading read: “Wanted: Matt Kennamer - Attempted Murder”. I clicked the link and his old mug shot appeared on the screen. It was him alright - a picture from a previous arrest for a D.U.I., his face swollen - the eyes bloodshot. A shit eating grin that said ‘I’ve been here before and I’ll do it again. Fuck you, these walls won’t hold me.’ He’d bailed out receiving a fine and substance abuse classes. This time was different.…

In the late 1950, there were a lot of controversies whether babies are passive or active babies. According to baby expert, babies couldn’t recognize faces and color; babies were a bundle of reflexes.

On Monday, September 16th, 2016, I administered a reading survey assessment to a 7th-grade ESL class at Bateman Elementary around 10 AM. The whole group of students, twenty-one total, participated in this assessment. Why did you choose this survey or inventory? I chose the Lisa Frase Reading Survey because of its simplicity and readability. Even informal assessments can generate ill feelings from students, especially those who might feel interrogated or judged for how much time they spend…
