Questions

sense, even if we didn’t understand immediately” (Ballenger, 2009, p.5). The book emphasizes how is important for us as educators to listen to what children’s ideas and talk even when it doesn’t make sense to us at first. But the more we are asking questions, we will explore the other meaning and better understanding their thoughts. I feel that in early childhood services, many families and children are from different cultures and have different values. Their perspective may not be the same…

Personal Statement "How can I help?" is a simple question that we normally either dismiss or greet with lukewarm enthusiasm. In this question though, rests a core intention of trying to be part of the solution. It may not seem important, but the simplest of ideas, motivations or questions can begin most journeys, which is true in my case. I remember that as a young child of around 4 years old, I would sit on the counter next to the medicine cabinet and read the back of all the medicine bottles.…

told me how her mother would make fresh bread and sit her children down in front of the TV to watch the rockets take off. Hearing this made me smile and wish I could have experienced that with her. However, contrary to the previous, the following questions produced more serious and profound responses and made me think about how my life would be if I lived in situations similar to those I mentioned before. For instance, when asked Dellilah how she felt about the Cold War, the first thing she…

English 111 at Rockingham Community College has been one of the biggest challenges. I’ve learned how to write really detailed paragraphs, excellent outlines, research writing and rhetorical analysis papers. However, I am still challenged with writing argumentative research papers, procrastination, rereading my papers and expressing myself and my writing with a professor who is so accomplished. While I had excellent attendance and was very focused in class, I struggled with some of the…

For the philosophical dialogue I asked the philosophical question: “Is it worse to fail at something or never attempt it in the first place?” I asked this question mainly because in science, scientists have to take risks and often fail many times before they succeed. The scientific world would be very different if scientist never attempted to do half of the things they did. Trial and error are key factors in scientific discoveries. My thoughts about this subject before I entered the dialogue…

Plato’s “Meno”, Meno prompts Socrates to answer a question concerning virtue and whether or not it can be taught. Socrates approaches this question with another question, which requires Meno to first define virtue. He explains to Meno that his approach is wrong and in order to answer a question about the nature of something, we must first understand what that something is. Socrates and Meno then engage in a dialogue in which they inquire into two questions: what virtue is and whether it can be…

New Green, in a group of four we are required to answer the questions pertaining to this film.

We are to discuss the video with our assigned teammates and submit one synthesized, integrated submission based on all the group member’s input while avoiding dividing a section or question to each team member. The submission is to be made online…

plan to do in my classroom. There was one thing that I would change about this lesson, and that would be to put each question on the board while they are answering it. There were many times that students had to ask Mrs. Hibma what the question was again because they forgot. By having the question on the interactive board, it would allow the student to be able to read the question if they had forgotten it. However, overall I would keep everything else the same for this lesson. It was very…

language barrier as well. I find accents are very hard for me since I haven’t been subjected to many in my life. In this situation, I make sure to apologize to the customer letting them know that it is not their fault, but in fact mine. I ask many questions and repeat back a lot of what they say, but I want to absolutely make sure that we are talking about the same thing without offending…

Many students suppress they’re in an achievement gap until they are too far behind. Falling behind can be easy but noticing and getting out isn’t so easy, but it’s not impossible. If students fall into an achievement gap they become unable and unwilling to continue their education and degree. Students can gain help from teachers and other students when they don’t feel confident enough in completing their degree. I was lucky enough to realize I was falling behind before I got too far into my…
