Discussion posts have always been a challenge for me simply because I struggle with not having an opinion, but stating it and defending it. In my writing, I have made many mistakes including but not limited to grammatical errors, passive sentences, and limited syntax. However, my discussion posts also have several positive qualities: evidence from each module included and outside information presented. Therefore, discussion posts I have presented include both negatives and positives that improve…

uneven matter among a population. Considering the issue at hand, does income really impair the thought of success? I see this issue determines whether someone allows their income to predict and shape their future for excellence or inferiority. The debate, developed by Robert Rosenkranz, discusses whether income inequality is a valid factor in a person’s success, if the income will affect the growth of their future, positive or negative.

On March 24th I taught a social studies lesson to a 4th grade class. The lesson started out well with me telling the students at the beginning of the lesson what we would be doing during our social studies lesson. However, I noticed I did not elaborate on my expectations for learning, so it wasn’t clear what the students were expected to know by the end of the lesson.
