The artefact I have chosen to show my achievement in this module is the lesson plan (Appendix 1) of my final teach from my micro teaching experience in this module. The reason I have chosen this artefact is because I believe throughout the semester I have really developed my skills in writing lesson plans. This lesson plan was the strongest I believe. I have chosen the lesson plan because I feel it really relates to the learning outcome; Students will engage with pupils in order to develop…

How often do we recognise ourselves in a book that we are reading? How often do we realise that we actually face the same challenges as its protagonist? This realisation happens quite frequently, especially when we stray far afield in our reading. One famous writer once said: "Many a book is like a key to unknown chambers within the castle of one’s own self" (Kafka). His name was Franz Kafka, and he was struggling with social anxiety, which resulted in him being an unhappy man who believed in…

Gwendolyn Brooks's poem "kitchenette building" is really impressed me, because I found myself understanding it in a different way each time I read it, sometimes pessimistically and sometimes optimistically. Brooks uses the word "kitchenette" in the title so that the reader can have a clear idea about the size of the building and the conditions of people who live there. Brooks also uses words which have connotation to help us understand the theme and the tone of the poem. The poem is about poor…

Women in Literature class granted the students an open door towards a new world of literature, teaching students the importance behind each reading, specially the importance and identification of objective correlatives which can be found in every piece discussed throughout the class. “Objective correlative” is the way to express emotions through the usage of objects or events that share the burden of sentiments.

After reading The Odyssey, many students today question their teachers: “Why did we read that?” and “How will this help me?” The answer to those questions are of the very conspicuous topics, silently covered by the book. One of which is the wise advice of considering other’s opinions and suggestions, and the next is the subject of the long journey and how it is still very substantial in today’s book and movies. In Robert Fagles’ translation of Homer’s epic poem, The Odyssey, the themes of…

The Quiet Character: A Force to Be Reckoned With As I was reading This One Summer, I was fascinated with how both the author and illustrator created, and defined each of the characters in their own way. Mariko Tamaki seems to put less focus on certain characters. At the same time Jillian Tamaki creates strong visual imagery on those same characters. Specifically speaking, why does Mariko Tamaki put less focus on Evelyn's character, yet Jillian Tamaki portrays her with such strong imagery?…

Michaela Cullington’s essay, “Does Texting Affect Writing?”, discusses three hypotheses on whether texting carries a negative, positive, or no effect in academic writing. While she was undergraduate student at Marywood University, she wrote this essay in 2010 in response to the bias held by teachers, authors, and students on the effects of texting. Perhaps during the year of 2010, the significant increase of texting led her to write this article. Because technology and electronics perpetually…
