The Edtell Sakai: American Literature program is a course that students take in order to make up for a missed year or make up for a failed course. The program consists of multiple lessons and readings. Students are required to complete their course by their specific end date that is provided by the schools. It is recommended that students finish the course a little before the end date so that the teachers have time to grade the students work and calculate the final grade. Power-points The…

Lillie’s effort in my class was admirable. Her time management as a student was excellent; she spent a lot of time preparing for her research, and she would submit her assignments before deadlines. At first she was rather quiet in class, but towards the end of the semester she contributed more actively to class discussions. Lillie’s reading responses showed that she was an observant reader even though she did not always share her findings in class. Her summaries reflected a profound…

and the Triple Entente (France, Great Britain and Russia) had divided Europe into two different sides. In 1906 Schlieffen had proposed an offensive plan that was designed as a surprise attack on France that would eliminate Great Britain as a contender to fight in a continental war. Russia and France were allies and they surrounded Germany. Part of the Plan was to march through Belgium and the Netherlands and attack France from the secured borders on both sides of their territory. Schlieffen…

Mrs. Gray allowed for me to join Ms. Youngberg’s second period comprehensive live skills class to interact with different special education students to get a sense of all many types of special education students there are. Ms. Youngberg taught a class full of different students-both in seven and eight grade- that are working at their own pace and on different subjects such as math and reading. Ms. Youngberg also has several student aids in her classroom so her students have someone to interact…

In the past month, I have been traveling to Williams Middle School in Florence, South Carolina to observe a dance educator and Coker alumni, Ashley Lesage. After the opportunity of observing twice, there were a few things I agreed with and did not agree with as far as the students and teaching methods. September 15, 2016 was my first time observing in Ms. Lesage’s classroom. One of the first things I noticed amongst the students were their clothing attire. In a dance studio, usually an observer…

I believe the strengths of my lesson were keeping the students on task and including all students in the lesson. I kept students on task by explaining my expectations and showing enthusiasm before the lesson. This made the students aware of their behaviors and became engaged because they sensed my enthusiasm. I grabbed their attention by doing a small version of Simon Says. For example, I said, “If you are ready to learn, touch the sky.” I did 3 of these at a time and reminded the students to…

Prompt 1: The Feiman-Nemser article discusses why new teachers need mentor teachers. What are Feiman-Nemser’s primary reasons for advocating mentoring programs for new teachers, and do you agree with her ideas? Why or why not? New teachers often find themselves overwhelmed with unforeseen demands of the classroom.

Almost, seven-week are going to be complete since we started the PEP course. Many new skills were introduced such as independent learning, reference writing and discussion in class & teamwork while, many were know to us like listening, speaking. The best skill I learned during PEP is discussions with others in class & work together as a team. In PEP we often get tasks in which we need to discuss in groups and work in the team. The best example for this is case study we got in first five weeks.…

Students with low incidence disabilities will benefit from direct instruction as a method of teaching. In reading, one expectation for these students is to be able to compare and contrast themes from passages that have been read. Direct instruction is one way this skill can be taught. One of the first goals of direct teaching is to keep the students interested in the topic being taught. Because focusing on assignments can be difficult for these students, this technique will assist these…

“Caliban, would you like for me to start teaching you some magic?” Sycorax inquired. “I would love to!” Caliban responded gleefully. Over the next couple days, Sycorax began to teach her son magic. Caliban found it very entertaining and really like learning the spells. He also enjoyed spending some quality time with his mother. Caliban was able to learn the basics quite quickly. He learned to move objects, create light, confuse animals and people, and many more. Just as Caliban was beginning…
