Core One Portfolio I chose to go to Huntington Elementary School in Norwich Connecticut on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1-3 pm. I am in a second grade classroom with twenty students. During the time I go I get to engage in reading time and also science instruction. The children are very bright and vibrant.

Introduction: Baileys view is the conventional outlook on inclusion, where each child is accepted for whom he or she is, and is offered the right to an education similar to his/her peers, in a common setting. Others view inclusion as a more complex concept. Griffin and Shelvin (2007) claim that inclusion can be segmented into three phases: segregated provision, integration/ mainstreaming and inclusion. I believe Bailey’s position above, remains in the mainstream/integrated position, as it lacks…

In the Wife of Bath’s Tale, the knight appears to be somewhat different from Sir Gawain because he is a young lusty knight who is full of his own power. He abuses women and has no self control. He also appears very disrespectful. In other tales Sir Gawain is “the good night” and “most courteous”.

Classical female rhetoricians needed to utilise several rhetorical strategies in order to navigate the misogynistic landscape of past societies and to have their arguments heard. Logos, pathos, and ethos can be found within Hortensia, Julian of Norwich, and Christine de Pizan’s works as tools to allow them to speak and record their thoughts during a period where women were forbidden to do so, and subsequently make lasting impacts on society’s view of women. Hortensia uses logos in her “Speech…

tears…” (de Vitry 218). Margery performs a reenactment of these uncontrollable episodes where she cries and weeps most of the times that she is in contact with divine, whether it’s physically or spiritually.
