Liturgical year

It was your first year of school and it was as easy as pie, then, you went onto your second year, then the third, and now you have finally arrived in high school. Each year you have noticed a gradual increase in the challenges of the coursework. Each year you find it harder and harder to focus or even stay awake in these classes. But not much has changed other than your age and the topic of your classes. The actual origin of the problem here is the work that the students are given to do on their…

Green and she made class fun, interesting and easy to understand. Until later in the year when we had to read Huckleberry Finn which was a classical novel but I could not keep my eyes open during it. It was very boring for me and I didn’t really understand it. Long novels have never really captured my interest. Sophomore year we read probably the most stories of any previous year, but they were shorter and more interesting to me. I found them easier to follow along with. Also we…

and more. Throughout the past two years of physical education, there have been changes in my fitness. The work in and outside of school I put in have affected my fitness scores. To start out, I will compare my fitness test scores. My baseline for my freshman year 12-minute run was 2425 meters. My posttest was 2500. Sophomore year, I got 2400 baseline and 2600 posttest. For the swim test, my ninth grade baseline was 37 walls and 38 as a posttest. Sophomore year I swam 38 walls for both tests.…

On the first day of English 102 class I sat down in a chair, I was nervous and worried I wouldn’t make any friends. I look over and I see a girl that sat next to me, we both gave a little smile at each other then went along with our business. Keondrane’ and I talked that first day, my first impression was this girl is shy like me. Keondrane’ is short, 5’0, she has dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. She is shy and quiet when you first meet her, but as you get to know her she is a high-spirited…

1. The name of the assessment was originally an acronym for the states that were originally included in the assessment, which were “Wisconsin (WI), Delaware(D), and Arkansas(A)”, but Arkansas “dropped out”, so it later became the “World-class Instructional Design and Assessment”. Now it is just known by “WIDA” (Mission & the WIDA Story). The WIDA is only given in English, I could not find any information about the assessment being done in any other language, which I believe is because the…

strategy, the Army Chief of Staff, General Mark A. Milley’s top priority is readiness, which includes personnel and staffing the force. Due to the Budget Act of 2011, the active duty Army will reduce personnel strength to 450,000 by the end of fiscal year 2018.

Introduction Lord Stanhope’s letter illustrates the longstanding concerns about multitasking. Even the earliest education journals studied the issue of distractibility and spreading attention too thinly (Bailey, 1889; Denio, 1897; Henderson, Crews, & Barlow, 1945; Poyntz, 1933). With digital technology, not only has the issue persisted, there are concerns that the impact on learning is even greater than before (Bowman, Levine, Waite, & Gendron, 2010; Fox, Rosen, & Crawford, 2009; Levine, Waite,…

I was a kid. It wasn’t until second grade and third grade that I began writing stories and illustrate pictures in my composition books. By doing so, it has immensely improved my reading and writing skills over the years. With added practice and picking up new styles throughout the years it has really shaped my writing all the way through graduate school. It’s not perfect, but I am determined to further my reading and writing skills. Many people have a different idea of what a true reader is.…
