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…

So, the stage is set, but what really is skin-color privilege anyways? In her poignant 1998 essay, Peggy McIntosh postulates her understanding of white privilege by comparing it to male privilege (a force that outs her at a disadvantage), comparing her white privilege to an “invisible knapsack” full of supplies denied to people who don’t possess the same privilege. She also stresses the importance of understanding that people of less privilege deserve some aspects of privilege whilst people with…

Delacroix 's reversal is perhaps the most obvious example of the deadening effect that this tradition has had on the hearts and minds of the villagers; she seems so unconscious of her own inconsistency that it would be difficult to call her betrayal of Tess hypocrisy.

the standard deviation of errors of measurement, which can be expressed as the equation SEM=S_E=√(S_X^2 (1-r_(XX^ ' )))=S_X √(1-r_(XX^ ' ) ). If the test reliability is 0, SEM would be equal to the standard deviation of the observed scores; if the tess reliability is 1, SEM would be 0. In addition, different types of reliability coefficient used to calculate SEM could provide different SEM…

Although Shirley Jackson wrote a few novels and quite a lot of short stories, she is noted for her writing, “The Lottery”. Jackson was quite famous for her shocking and horror ends in her fiction writing that are quite opposing to her appearance and manner. She was noted for exploring oddness in everyday life, and The Lottery, perhaps her most classic work in this respect, studies humankind's capacity for evil within a modern, accustomed, American scenery. The title “The Lottery”, tells you…

An exoplanet is described as a planet that orbits a star outside our solar system. The majority of the exoplanets scientists have discovered were found in the past two decades, mainly with the Kepler space telescope. These planets are all different in orbit, size, and type. Some are smaller than Jupiter, or even larger than Jupiter, but essentially all of the exoplanets that we know of a larger than the Earth. Scientists have even found planets that orbit two stars, as opposed to the normal one.…

The Medieval and Renaissance periods present two distinct cultures and worldviews in the human development. Unlike the Middle-Ages, several Renaissance scientists desired to learn about the earth apart from the idea of a Divine Creator, and philosophers brought in humanistic thinking. Innovations during this period like the gunpowder, telescope, microscope and the print press changed dramatically the people 's lifestyles and views of the world around them. Religion also varied greatly between…

They ask me "Where are you from and what is your name?" and I responded, "My name is Emily Skillman, and I am…
