School Reunion

The espousal of multicultural learning and the seating arrangement of the classroom truly helps to facilitate the diversity in the friendship and interpersonal relationships in Ms. Bunker’s class. The students engage in play and discussion amongst each other in an easy-going, non-hierarchal manner. Moreover, the students worked/played together without nullifying their cultural/ethnic and gender differences – but while embracing them and working well together in spite of them. I did not see…

Shaping a Child with Moral Values Introduction Paragraph 1 Lead In There is a thin line between wanting and doing. A person should not always receive what they desire when zero effort is used. Overview and Background In this generation, there are children that will earn absolutely nothing and still be awarded with whatever they yearn to have. This kind of display shows how parents are moving away from the old style of parenting where a child must work and earn in order to receive,…

Teaching is an integral part of most species’ existence. It ranges from the primitive forms of teaching survival, to the most advanced teachings at universities. It has increasingly been challenged, questioned, and modified due to the many controversial views it has conjured up. The text, “On the Uses of a Liberal Education: As Lite Entertainment for Bored College Students”, by Mark Edmundson, is about how, in his opinion, society, educational institutions, and the students themselves, all…

In life, there is always going to be something that one needs to learn; things such as yourself, other people, or the environment around you, pretty much the of do’s and don’t of life. During your journey, you are the ultimate ruler of what happens and what does not happen, but along the way, people will try to guide you and give you the best advice that they can. This is what Steve Jobs did during his commencement speech; he took what he knew life had taught him and tried to teach others about…

The book I have chosen to compare reviews for is Birgit and Peter Sawyer’s Medieval Scandinavia: From Conversion to Reformation circa 800-1500. This paper compares two reviews of this book, one by Ruth Mazo Karras who takes a more positive approach in The American Historical Review, and the other by Frederic Amory who in turn leaves a much more critical review in Speculum. Both reviewers commend the Sawyers for their resourcefulness and agree that their writing is more interpretive in some parts…

Self-Reflection After Teaching Self-evaluation is a powerful tool that will help you become a better teacher. Reflecting on and evaluating your teaching after a lesson is over will give you insights that will make your future lessons stronger. This evaluation is focused on you as the teacher and decision-maker rather than the student. 1. Did your lesson plan goals connect with your student’s assessment data? How? Before this lesson, I did not have much assessment data, therefore, I needed…

• During the beginning of my lesson, with the entire class, I had the students help another student through a multiplication and division problem. When the students were helping another student, I asked the students prompting questions that allowed them to help that student effectively. For example, during the multiplication problem, I asked the students, “Is this answer complete?” to which a student responded with, “no.” When the student responded to this, I asked then the simple question of…

education will focus on creating social solidarity in schools by teaching skills necessary for work and teaching core values. This focus will achieve social control and solidarity among students and staff. It has been suggested that regardless of…

These inconsiderate people may also argue that the novels use of profanity solidly represents common vernacular during the 1930’s. According to an active supporter of the inclusion of the novel in school curriculums, “Steinbeck beautifully crafted a story that contains language viewed as “offensive,” to accurately depict the language that was used by the general public” (“Of Mice and Men...”). This quote sides with the inclusion of the novel and promotes…

Achebe's writing, "The Novelist as Teacher", presents a request to African writers to take on the role of teacher in their works. After reading Achebe's "The Novelist as Teacher", we can identify two differences that Achebe examines as a point of reference to literature of postcolonial and western writers. Firstly, Achebe wants his audience to look to him as a teacher of the culture. Postcolonial readers must look to their writers for the recurrence of their culture and common concerns. Secondly…
