Question 1 In what ways does Beverly Cleary help readers identify with the viewpoint of her middle school boy narrator by having the story told through the boy's letters and diary entries? How does his writing develop through the course of these letters and diary entries? Why do you think Cleary uses letter writing and diary entries to convey the intellectual and emotional development of her narrator, Leigh Botts? Why do you think she made Leigh Botts see himself as so “medium”? Be sure to…

blocks inside the plastic box to be able to see and know exactly how far away the bugs got from the light source. We did this to also minimize the chance of error in the calculation of the distance the sowbugs were from the light source. Make sure to tape the excess parts of the paper to the sides of the box to ensure that the bugs do not crawl under the paper. Next, place the four sowbugs on the right side of the clear, plastic box to get ready to begin the experiment and place the 14 cm…

Physical control marks on the students’ minds for a long time. Some say that this could teach rule-breaking students to be better individuals, but some would say otherwise. Corporal punishment is the causation of physical pain to a person, or in this case, to a student. This started since the middle Ages when whipping became a punishment for minor crimes. In the late 20th century, that is the time where teachers started to do corporal punishment to children. There are different kinds of…

dart gun, aggressive hand puppet, and rubber knife. Toys for creative expression and emotional release, such as newsprint, blunt scissors, pipe cleaners, popsicle sticks, Play-Doh, hand puppets, masks, small sponge-type ball, bendable figures, scotch tape, nontoxic glue, egg cartons, and cotton rope. Also, if space allows, add an inflatable punching toy. I think it was…

Gustave Courbet was a French artist known to be the leader and innovator of the Realist Movement of the 19th Century. His art rebelled against the Romantic and Neo-Classical Eras during his time. His passion was in illustrating the truth and erasing “social contradictions and imbalances” (www.gustavecourbet.org). Some notable paintings by the artist are “A Burial at Ornans” (1850) where he depicts his great-uncle’s funeral in his native Ornans portraying the ugliness in the situation beginning…

Much like Callaghan struggled to redeem control from under Parisian and Hemingway’s influences, John Glassco in Memoirs of Montparnasse endeavored to find and regain power over his narrative. Memoirs of Montparnasse was a delicate attempt to define himself and proclaim his Canadian identity amongst the modernist project in Canada. In Memoirs of Montparnasse, Glassco offers his readers an unconventional history of modernism with other opportunities in the ongoing battle to establish the ground…

To clean the wells, we used diluted 7X detergent, we rinsed them with high purity water and methanol, blotted them dry with lens paper. The wells were then assembled by sticking and removing a piece of scotch tape from each face of the well and then sticking the well to glass coverslips. While the wells were being cleaned and assembled the dilution team diluted the Texas Red labeled anti-biotin antibody into five different 70 µL solutions with concentrations…

Globalization, McDonaldization, and the Movement of Culture Mass media infiltrates into every aspect of society and has become impossible to ignore. It is easy to integrate the media into our everyday lives. It becomes a habit and we don’t even think twice when we “thumbprint” into our phones. Many sociologists argue that mass media has deeper meanings and influences in our lives. Before media had become the entity that it is today Gans argued, “All mass media in the end alienate people from…

Now we will discuss some of the average milestones, developmental skills, and tasks associated with children from 3-5 years old. These standard guidelines are to assist us to evaluate where a child might be, in comparison to his or her age with peers of their own age. The anticipatory guidelines are not always cut and dry but do give us an idea at what level the children are on and how we can relate, teach, and communicate with them the best, on their level. When looking at a three-year-old…

Alfalfa’s Shadows “Give me an R” a loud man yells at the front of the theater. He now has everyone in the audience’s attention. “R,” the crowd yelled back at him. “Give me an O!” “O!” “Give me a C!” “C!” “Give me a K!” “K!” “Give me a Y!” “Why,” the crowd answers back sarcastically. It was show time. The leader of a theater group, Paul, successfully got everyone in the crowd to pay attention. We had been practicing for this night for about two months. I could already feel the sweat drip down my…
