Instructional Strategies and Rigor During my observation of Ms. Perry I was impressed by her use of scaffolding with the students to ensure that all students were learning, below are a few examples of how she used instructional strategies and rigor in the classroom: Ms. Perry had the students who needed additional help with their diction worksheets to review the sound/letter cards to decide which vowel rule to use for their spelling words. Ms. Perry explained the concept clearly to the…

Olivia demonstrates that she can properly organize words in a sentence. She shows that she can use words like ‘in’, ‘on’, and articles in these sentences here, “We went in the back (um) of the store,” “I just use the wedgie on my skies,” “And I have a carriage.” This is common for her age, but she does not, however, demonstrate that she can properly use a past…

story would say rather than the word-for-word reading. She did pause on bigger words, but she could quickly figure them out. When reading, she had 10 miscues and 2 self-corrections. Most of her miscues were adding words to the sentences because she predicted what the sentence would say. Because of this same miscue, I am rating her accuracy level at 97%. In terms of comprehension, Heather understood the passage. She told me the basic story during the summary portion of the test. Her answers…

In this world of 140 characters, instant messages, and emails possessing good business writing skills are still important. When email or other written communication is sent, it is out there for people to judge. Your correspondences not only reflect on you, but on your organization as well, so it’s essential to get it right. For my development goal, I decided to improve my written communication skills by completing several courses through our Judicial Online University (JOU). The eleven…

emphasis importance. When Hopkins uses the sentence structure “And….” One can tell that it will be interconnected with the past sentence structures using “And…”. He connects lines seven, and eight in order to show the extent of damage caused by mankind’s follies. Another important use of parallelism is during line two, and three when Hopkins uses starts the phrase it in order to show the characteristics of first earth, and then god. He connects these two sentences that is important to his…

She was also able to articulate when the sentences ended and began. I never got lost or wondered when a sentence ended. Also when there was a question in the story, she said the sentence just as if she was asking a question, so it was not difficult for me to distinguish between questions and regular statements. She is a quick reader and when asked what is going on…

paragraph is that of Sentence Structure. Sentence Structure is the plainly, the order of your word in the sentence. The order that you select will have an impact on what is emphasized and what is minimized. Not only does the structure matter, but the length of the sentence can also have an effect on what is emphasized as well. Generally the longer the sentence, the greater the chance to bury a detail that you do not wish to highlight. Word Choice ties in great with Sentence Structure. Where you…

choices. There are some general principle that I follow such as saying what you have to say, stop it when you’ve said it , avoid repeating yourself , be direct, and close what you have describe. “When a sentence sound nice, read well, and is easy to follow, its length is just right. But when a sentence is lousy, you can take steps to make it more presentable.” (pgs. 108). It’s certainly worth the extra effort of finding the right word which expresses your…

parole. Probation is when the offender is not sentenced to serve any jail time but rather put under supervision, usually with a list of required actions they must complete. Parole is when an offender is sentenced to jail time, serves a portion of that sentence, and is released back into the community but is under supervision. The two words are often interchanged, though are very different in their meanings. The type of crime that was committed by the offender is usually what will determine…

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…
