Reading “Black Ants and Buddhists” has made me realize that I am very fortune to have all the things that I have. I am able to identify with the teacher in chapter 2 because when I was growing up I didn’t always have all the things that I wanted, but my parents did everything for my sisters and me in order to have a great childhood. In chapter 11 it talks about the teacher visiting her student’s families and I am able to relate to that. When I was in 5th grade I was placed for the first time in…

In the article, “A Plagiarism Pentimento” by Rebecca Moore Howard explains how plagiarism should be reconsidered especially for patchwriting. Patchwriting is copying from a source text and deleting words or substituting words into their own. Howard always thought that patchwriting was plagiarizing until one day her college students wrote essays and they seemed like they just plagiarized the text. She was so confused about her students patchwriting the text. Howard started to study more about…

I attended Jane Addams Elementary School for my field experience hours. As I was attending this school, I started to think about when I was a student teacher at my elementary school. My experiences with both schools were different because each school had a different setup for how they wanted to teach the class.

When sharing rhythm, people feel more at ease with each other. Such rhythms can be mundane for example in the activities we do every day: bringing the kids to school, walking the dog, being in the same train to work, putting out the garbage and more. These mundane rhythms are at the heart of sustaining everyday life and shaping trust, for example, the local policeman who passes by the school every day so that parents can easily approach him generates trust.

Reflect on a time when you integrated adult learning theory when assisting a teacher with their instructional practices. Prior to my involvement with 4-H, I was a program manager for All 4 Kids.
