Juggling

Prior to taking this class I had never attempted to juggle anything. For this project I will be juggling three small homemade bean bags. The only activity I have participated in that is remotely similar to juggling is paddle ball. The motion of hitting the ball up is not similar to the motion of throwing beanbags but the need to gage how hard and in what direction you hit the ball is similar to gaging the toss of the beanbag. I am not very good at paddle ball. I can usually only hit the ball up once or twice before having to reset. Hopefully I will have better luck with the beanbags. Juggling has always been very interesting to me. I am very excited to not only learn how to juggle, but how to do it well. During our practice times in class I was able to throw and catch three scarves a couple of times before dropping one. I mastered the rhythm of throwing the scarves. Unfortunately, juggling scarves does not translate perfectly over to juggling bean bags. The rhythm is the same for both, but the hand and wrist motions are entirely different. I typically perform closed skills better than I do open ones. I like to able to use feedback during the movement rather than…

In “Juggler” by Richard Wilbur, the speaker and the audience witness the gravity-defying performance of the Juggler. When juggling, the Juggler changes the dull atmosphere to a lively one through his momentary triumph against gravity. The speaker observes that although the performance showed temporary victory against gravity, the Juggler made ordinary objects seem special and entertained the audience by inspiring them. The speaker describes the Juggler’s abilities using images of divine power…

Juggling a career and family is a challenging and often daunting task that causes a multitude of stressors in many marriages. Proper strategies and wise time management are essential in this delicate balancing act for the overall health of the family unit. The book Marriage and Family says on page 241 that even in households where the workload is shared and the women are the main bread winners they still do most of the house work and tend to the children. This scenario is will most likely lead…

The process of ‘beat juggling’ uses the breaks between two records that are exactly the same. DJ Q-Bert, who never stopped learning new styles from his mentors, as well as on his own, mainly founded this process. The two records themselves are exactly the same. To put it another way, if DJ Q-Bert were using Record Sample A on one side, the left, of the turntable, he would also place Record Sample A on the other side, the right, of the turntable. In a moment, the DJs uses the fader, which is…

1. What are the inherent problems involved in juggling coursework for initial teaching preparation with full-time teaching responsibilities and life outside of school and work? (CC9S7) Unfortunately, or fortunately in some cases, the main problem with juggling other things alongside full-time teaching responsibilities, is time. The responsibility of a teacher doesn’t just fall under the times that the students are in the building, but extends almost twenty-four seven. Teachers are constantly…

Juggling Theories News headlines have sprung up around the nation this fall with reports of people dressed as clowns scaring and attacking civilians. No matter the crude intent of these actions, the real killer clown has already honked his horn to the world; John Wayne Gacy, also known as, “The Clown Killer”, murdered 33 teenage boys in his Cook County, Illinois home from 1972 to 1978. Luring them into his home with the promise of job opportunities or pornographic pictures, Gacy raped and…

In Richard Wilbur poem, “The Juggler,” a juggler’s profession is not just to entertain others, but to serve as a way of escapism for many. Vivid imagery and various examples of figurative language are used to describe the juggler as someone who is capable of bending reality, while also revealing the speaker’s belief that simple, trivial tasks can be a liberating break from their mundane lives. To begin, the speaker describes and exaggerates the effect the juggling has on the audience by saying…

track should be played next and must maintain the rhythms rolling while also adding their own style of sounds to the track as well. The selector is able to do this fluidly with their skills they must possess. The largest skill they must possess knowledge over is their decision making skills and their ways of knowing which track needs to be played next in order to keep the rolling rhythms. That would be the perspective of the selector. The audience on the other hand sees the selector focused on…

interest in. Rather, their motivation is to finish the assignment. This kind of motivation is also known as extrinsic motivation, which is involvement as a means to an end (12 - Motivation A-4.pptx). If I were to ever teach juggling there were a few things that I learned from my experience that I believe could help me to teach others to juggle. First off, if the people learning to juggle were just a little younger, then it could be easier for them to pick up. Kids around the age of eight to ten…

field and start off like they played the second half of last week. Last week first half didn't go as planned but if you step back and look at the 3 goals that were scored by them first half, they were goals that trinkled in.
