Tanishia uses sources from a web page and changes a few words of the original passage. She then uses it in a research-based…

For this project I interviewed Sherri Stirbus. Sherri is a Speech Language Pathologist for Children’s Hospital Colorado. She works at KidStreet. KidStreet is a day rehab program for young children with significant disabilities. Every child is required to have a feeding tube to be in the program. The children receive speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, art therapy, music therapy, psychology services and nursing services each week. KidStreet is an amazing place because it…

This gives the reader a sense of a personal environment because O’Neill is directly drawing them in with his home-type language. Also, his diction shows that he is attempting to use an exciting tone to call the readers in this way. He uses words and phrases such as, “hullabaloo,” “heckling,” and “wisecracks,” to excite the reader by presenting them with informal language used around the…

found most surprising was the fill-in, “And he gave ___ written word ‘skunk’…” The correct answer was “the.” Even though 77 students gave the correct response, there were still several who used random words such as “garbage,” “things,” and “fishy.” These words do not even come close to fitting the sentence being that they are all form class words. A second point of interest is the fact that no one was able to come up with the correct word for “prolific.” That is the only entry that no one was…

strategies for understanding words, many are similar to one another and some differ from each other. One way is using another is using context clue and lastly is using a dictionary and word attack strategies. These all will help you tackle an unfamiliar word. Today I will be describing when and how to use these strategies. When you want to determine or figure out a meaning to an unknown word you first have to figure out how the word is being used. You just look at the words leading up to…

1. In “The Early Catastrophe”, Hart & Risley provided a figure that demonstrates the vocabulary size trajectory of the children in the study, stratified by age group (page 4). It appears that the trajectory of vocabulary size between children of middle/lower SES versus those on welfare remains very similar until about 23 months of age. This made me wonder why it is that the vocabulary size trajectory seems to dramatically increase around this age among children of lower/middle SES families, in…

part in the argument we had earlier in the day. You began to yell like usual and those 9 words came out of your mouth. Those 9 words crushed me. I was able to move passed it for mom during Christmas. I thought it went well during Christmas so I thought I should come out for spring break. That did go well at all. I will admit my attitude was not great but once you started yelling all I heard was those 9 words. The summer of 2015 and that spring break of 2016 are the true reasons I did not go to…

Repetition happens a lot throughout this poem. Repeating the same phrases over and over again give the reader an insight on how the narrator is feeling about the death that has happened. It also makes the reader feel the emotions and how sad this poem actually is. The narrator is going through a difficult situation and the repetition in the poem makes it even more deep than it is meant to. It also may be relatable to someone who has gone through a death of a relative. The repetition may also…

You want me to write about the weight of words, okay. Challenge accepted, lets start with why. Words are a beautiful way to communicate but sometimes you need more, and its not enough and incomplete. To complete it we put wortheir not just sentence’s. Their emotions, gestures, ideas, thoughts and, that’s all were made of. You wanna know why they carry so much weight, such an impact because all it takes is for you to have told or to know a secrete, a truth, a confession. Once you know it or even…

“create” newspeak, it consists of the deletion of words not the creation of them. This is the exact opposite of what occurs in modern day society. We create new words in order to expand the range of thought. Newspeak is the exact opposite. The goal is to delete words in order to simplify the language. This changes the effect of words on the population. Newspeak has a large effect on the populous. This is because it is the main language of Oceania. If words from the old language, called…
