“Studies are finding that teenagers on social media have a better understanding of word reading, have a higher vocabulary, and are better at spelling because of the phonetic nature of textspeak” (Obee). They are blogging on social media sites which is improving their overall writing skills (Thompson). Just by putting a simple post on Facebook is helping practice their writing skills. Writing things on social media gives…

Dear Parents of English Language Learner Students, I want to take a moment and welcome you to the U.S. I hope that this transition will bring you lots of opportunities, joy, and health. Immigration, with all the changes and necessary adaptations to the new environment, is a challenging journey, but it is doable. I am happy to be the teacher of your children and working hard to make sure they learn and enjoy their time in my classroom. I put an unprecedented amount of time in preparing special…

During the earlier years of Korea, the Silla kingdom (668 – 918) had much influence of the Korean people and their culture; the Korean people adopted the religion of Buddhism and it became the centre of their spirituality as well as their politics. It was during the Koryo dynasty (918 – 1392) of Korea that Buddhist-inspired art and studies were growing and thriving in Korea, and it was near the end of the Koryo dynasty where they adopted a new philosophy known as Neo-Confucianism. The Korean…

Contributions in Science & Writing (Laura Bandi) Science The Maya was one of the three ancient civilizations attributed to separately establishing the subject area of mathematics (Karam). The Mayans developed a vigesimal numerical system, meaning it was based on the number 20, most experts believe this is because humans have ten fingers and ten toes (“Maya Arts”). The main reason scholars believe the Maya used a base-20 system was to do calculations for their calendar system (Arellano 3).…

An Honest Analysis of Harappan Script Speculations Since their discovery around 1920, the Harrapan seals of the Indus Valley Civilizations (circa. 2600–1900 B.C.) have been a topic of debate. Said seals contain pictures of unicorn-like cow creatures, human figures, and short bursts of symbols, seemingly crammed onto the seal as an afterthought . Scholars are unable to come to any sort of consensus on the issue and have resorted to publishing articles that focus more on why everyone else is…

I will never write on any of their work again. There has been times where they write a few sentences and then we go back as a group and read them together. I would find myself writing above the word (only if it was unreadable, if it was partial phonetic, I would leave it be because I could understand it and so could the child) now I realize that I was taking the shine away from the student. This is a method that I found to be very useful for myself. We need to build the students up and help them…

Have you ever watched 48 Hours? Or Law & Order? How about Forensic Files? Well, if you have, have you ever wondered how a person died? Or why they died?

Scientist who are in charge of examining the cause of death of a person are called forensic scientist. But what is forensic science, you may ask. Forensic science is the scientific…

Due to differing contextual influences, Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion (1912) and Gary Marshall’s film Pretty Woman (1990) portray unique perspectives on the values of social hierarchy and gender roles. Shaw and Marshall both explore the transformation and social mobility of a young woman in order to comment on the social constructs of class divisions and gender roles within society. In Pygmalion, Shaw satirises the social hierarchy of early 20th century England whilst also criticising the rigid…

Based on this diagnosis, a treatment plan has been established in order to assist J.A. with her speech. The focus of therapy would be to increase her intelligibility and focus primarily on limiting the frequency of phonological processes and increasing the functionally of her speech. The Cycles approach will be implemented to provide systematic correction of several phonemes simultaneously. This approach will also positively affect J.A. intelligibility more quickly given the multiple errors…
