Literature has been around for centuries, but it depends on whether or not the current generation of people will take it up; therefore, literature has the potential to expand the knowledge of whole generations who then develop ideas of their own. In the article, “Reading Literature Makes Us Smarter and Nicer” written by Annie Murphy Paul(2013), she supports her main argument that reading is enriching and beneficial by using various scientific and psychologic resources. Similarly to Annie M. Paul…

Abstract This document highlights the personal educational philosophy of James Gilboy. It includes reflective thinking about my twenty-two years of education experience in terms of what I believe to be true, real and valuable. It examines how my teaching, learning, and instruction have changed and been shaped by educational philosophies and theories. Personal Philosophy of Education Introduction In this paper I will develop a comprehensive personal philosophy of education. It is based…

My observation—Seeing as though this lesson was part of a unit plan, the students were not given too much background information. The teacher informed the class that they would be reading a specific scene, and then watching the video clip of the scene in order to compare the two forms of media. The students were aware of what they were about to do, so the teacher probably did not feel it was necessary to outline the daily activities or supply them with background information. There was no…

dread because they will just be listening to lecture the whole time. I would like to lead a classroom with enthusiasm because I would want the students to have fun and be able to express themselves. Ron Clark describes how close everyone at his school was after they performed for students. Especially, those teachers who were hesitant and did not want to participate at first (2004, pg.5). Personally, I would probably be one of those teachers who are hesitant. However, I understand that having…

but it taught me to be more open to my parents with what is going on at school. It also taught me to stay away from drama. Jadyn, Kylie, and I were friends for a long time. They were enjoyable to be around, and I have lots of amazing memories with them. In the eighth grade, they started making foolish decisions. Jadyn started rumors about herself and what she did with her…

for if each school relayed on state funding, somewhere someone is getting the short stick. There must be a balance of both. The question of who should be in control is a difficult one. It is in my opinion that teachers should be in control of education. Because they are the ones teaching it and inside the classroom itself it makes sense. By having a board of people who are not in any teaching position they do not know what is needed and not needed. There is a responsibility that schools and…

Made to Stick by Dan and Chip Heath analyzes six criteria that make an idea stick. Two of those are Emotional, which motivates the target audience to care about the Central Message (Heath, Volpe), and Stories, which motivates the target audience to take action on the central message (Heath, Volpe). In the text, “Pedagogy and political commitment: a comment” by Bell Hooks argues that college english teachers should educate for liberation to allow students to learn to think critically and…

UConn however is going against his statements by proving themselves capable of transforming our school through construction. Freire claims that the banking concept of education, a commonly used teaching technique, is built around students memorizing unimportant information. The concept strips them of their true intellectual curiosity and holds them…

As we’ve discussed heavily in class, as time goes on, new innovations are created in our history as people and cultures progress through the years. We’ve looked at objects and ideas that have seen advancements whether due to technology, or an advancement in thinking. This remains true when looking through forms of art and looking at Christian Schussele’s Men of Progress in 1862, and Edward Sorel’s People of Progress crafted in 1999. From a very basic visual perspective, there is a stark…
