copied the mac is why they have them too. His physical portrayal of his speech was very poor. Jobs made very little eye contact because he was reading directly off of his paper on the podium. This means that he was looking down for most of the speech sometimes, but very rarely looking up for a split second. He just stood at the podium and hardly moved at all, which made the speech not as exciting as is could be. Steve Jobs wrote an excellent speech gaining the excitement of the audience…

I avoided other people and objects by turning my head continuously left and right, yet this woman, who was looking straight ahead, ran into me. As I stood there, contemplating ending the experiment, an older man stopped and asked me if I was all right. He then did something unexpected. He suggested that when I was in very crowded areas, I make beeping noises,…

Some are strivers while others are survivors; some are achievers while others are believers; some are thinkers while others are experiencers and some are makers while others are dreamers. But there is one thing that they all have in common. They all have some type of goal that they want to achieve at some point in time.

Holden feels all adults are phony, and by avoiding adulthood, he doesn’t have a chance of being a phony. At the several private schools he attends, the phoniness of the adult world soaks into the…

It’s no surprise. UbD is a tough concept to grasp. Understanding by Design forces the unit creator to design units backward. It is a completely different concept from what teachers know and learned in their teacher training. While change can be difficult, using UbD as a tool for curriculum design can be both beneficial and time saving for students and teachers alike. For decades, teachers have been taught the textbook is the curriculum. Course and course work starts at the beginning of textbook…

the blues away? As I relive my life backwards and forwards, a reoccurring hymn becomes engraved in my nervous system: the future remains uncertain and quite possibly a utopian shade of 'I love you.' In it, a boy has grown accustom to the idea of walking through life wearing an armor made of glass.
