Nonsense

table the game of Blending Words BINGO along with BINGO chips. For this game, each person gets their own game board along with a handful of calling cards (we just sorted out the cards so each person got nearly the same amount). The cards simply say, “Find the picture that says c//a//t” while the game board only has pictures. Some of the pictures are a little more complicated, however, so it does come with a cheat sheet for all of the pictures. During this time Ms. Crawford walked around the classroom and observed the skill that each parent read from their cards. Setting SMART Goals Specific: The goal that the parent is writing down should be based around the data discussed at the meeting, meaning the goals were on nonsense word fluency. Example: Silvia would read 20 nonsense words per minute. Measurable: The should be a way to asses this particular goal. Example: 80% accuracy Attainable: The student should be able to reach this goal within a particular time frame. Example: She is progressing quickly so she should be able to attain it within a realistic time frame. Realistic: Going along with being attainable, the goal needs to be realistic to that particular student (this is where it becomes important for the teacher to emphasize that the parents only focus on their own student and that it is not a competition.) Example: The goal is realistic because Silvia is progressing at an average rate and hasn’t shown any signs of real regression. Timely: The specific time frame in…

A nonsense word is a word that had no conventionally accepted meaning, or has no set definition. Nonsense words can be used to influence a story line, an overall vocabulary, and a stories literary devices. In the poem “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll and an excerpt from Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax, nonsense vocabulary is used. Both texts have some vocabulary attributes that make them similar and different to the other. It is important to understand how nonsensical word usage affects different…

Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (2009) and Edward Lear’s The Owl and the Pussycat (1871) are works of literature that both use “nonsense” to convey a story. In what follows I will argue that nonsense is significant, especially in children’s literature, as it is a useful tool for education, and promotes individuality of thoughts. The use of nonsense in literature challenges rules and it allows for the brain to think outside of the restricted boundaries of teaching, which…

After the Collapse of the Soviet Union, the soviet baby boomers felt a sense of relief and felt more relaxed because they had the freedoms that most Americans do. However they felt that their government was spilling out nonsense. During Raleigh’s interview with Arkadaii Darchencko, Darchencko thought that the press during the late 1980s were lying about the atrocities that the Soviet government had committed which he states that “what was was being said was a bunch of nonsense” (Raleigh 150). In…

Not So Wonderful Nonsense in the 1920’s The 1920’s were a time of many hostile issues in the United States. Murders, robberies, and scientific testing were all a result of the KKK, Sacco and Vanzetti, and the eugenics movement. These three significant events were often the headline of many newspapers in the 20’s. The KKK, also known as the Klu Klux Klan, was a cult created by white men who were against immigrants, most races, and religions other than their own. William J. Simmons, a former…

One of these is Rett syndrome, which is an X-linked neurodevelopmental disorder. Children with Rett’s seem to develop normally up unto 6-18 months and then there is regression that is characterized by a loss of motor skills (Percy, 2016). A genetic basis for Rett’s was discovered in 1999 which showed that a mutation in methyl-CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) was to blame for this disorder (Chahrour & Zoghbi, 2007). In almost 95% of cases mutations in MECP2 are found with most arising from sporadic…

Added to this, GFAP mutations could also occur with small in-frame insertions and deletions, in-frame skipping of complete axon and frame shift at the extreme C-terminal end. This specific new mutation in the 67year old man hasn’t implicated any of the 21 clinical features is in other acquiring Alexzander’s disease, but signaled a sign of faulty short term memory loss and headache. Apart from the complications to identify the subject with these unique clinical features, MRI scanning has…

1. Why does America have so much “nonsense” and “irrationality” in our criminal justice programs and policies? What is the role of public opinion, the media, social movements, political initiative, and science in America’s criminal justice policy-making process? Most crime control policies/programs within today’s criminal justice system are irrational; not all, but most crime control ideas are based on belief(s) rather than facts and data. It’s interesting to note that both liberals and…

(Chahrour, M., Huda, Z. 2007). In sum, MEPC2 is a vital component in normal neurological development. Mutations in MECP2 Mutations in the MECP2 gene account for 95% of RTT cases. The type of mutation varies between cases, and there is no definitive genetic mutation for the syndrome. The mutations are believed to arise de novo in the paternal germline. This means that the alteration of the gene is present for the first time in the family member as a result of a mutation in the sperm cell of the…

Nonsense Theory Some cultures, like the urban Guadalcanaldwelling Malaitans in the Solomon Islands, think that dreams do not mean anything. They believe that there is no rhyme or reason to why we dream. The only thing a dream could do would be to merely tell interesting stories. Since people usually do not record nonsense or unimportant events or experiences, there might be a lot of cultures who believe this nonsense theory that ethnographers just do not know about (Barret 41-42). Discernment…
