teachers should keep into consideration the support and guidance needed to have students succeed. For instance, modeling and beginning with familiar topics will facilitate students’ engagement and understanding. For example, modeling how to use a Venn diagram to compare and contrast different animals can help young students develop higher thinking skills when they are still in the initial stages.

Some time ago, Vera and I had a conversation about identity. We were catching up after some time of not seeing each other and she asked me what I thought of a friend that we both knew. Curious, I asked her what she meant by “what I thought of said friend”. I wasn’t sure if she was trying to dig up some juice or if she encountered a certain situation with said friend and needed my verification for the judgement she had formed on her. “No, I mean like, when someone asks you if you know L.

1. In England, “daddy long legs” refers to a long-legged fly, but the same name refers to a spider-like animal in the United States. How do scientists attempt to avoid such confusion? Illustrate these two organisms specifying which “daddy long legs” they represent and give the correct scientific name for each one. Tipula sp. Pholcus phalangioides Metaphalangium albounilineatum Image: http://www.burkemuseum.org/blog/myth-daddy-longlegs-kind-spider Scientists gave a different…

I read Freedom Summer by Deborah Wiles and illustrated by Jerome Lagarrigue. ISBN: 9780689830167. I would use this book in the 5th grade when teaching (5) History. The student understands important issues, events, and individuals in the United States during the 20th and 21st centuries.

Around the time of World War I (1914-1918), women’s right soared to new levels in the United States socially, economically, and politically while men’s presence in these areas declined due to their participation in the wartime effort. The United States entered the wartime effort in 1917, leading to a decline in men’s presence in the American workforce. This absence of men in America’s workforce led to the movement of middle-class and upper class white women_into the workforce. As women dominated…

I noticed many great ideas that I liked. This week we have been working on comparing and contrasting two different text passages that are about the same subject. We have been finding out many different facts about spiders and listing them on Venn Diagrams showing which facts are contained in both texts and which facts are only contained in one text or the other. I have learned much more about spiders than I really wanted…

StrengthsQuest Reflection “A strength is the ability to provide consistent, near-perfect performance in a given activity” (Clifton, Anderson, & Schreiner, 2006, p.4). Upon taking the StrengthsQuest survey, as a part of the class requirements for Interdisciplinary Studies 400, I discovered that my strongest theme is learner. Learners, as the name implies, love to learn and obtain new knowledge. For learners, the process of learning is an adventure that brings immense joy and excitement. The…

their thoughts using graphic organizers. One activity I use in my classroom to help my students with their reading comprehension deals with organizing their thoughts about the text. Students are in charge of creating graphic organizers such as Venn diagrams, story maps or cause and effect charts to assist with their reading comprehension. As an educator I just want to teach my students how to think systematically and take steps to make sense of the text they are…

Transcription: process of making RNA copy of DNA molecule, which becomes mRNA Translation: process of decoding mRNA Draw a diagram of your DNA molecule. Keep the illustration in a straight, ‘ladder’ form as seen in figure 2; do not attempt to draw double helix shape. Specifically identify each nitrogen base. A partial strand of DNA has the nitrogen base pattern shown below…

The lesson also makes connections with topics in math, while also tying in culture as they learn about new foods and utilizing comparisons with the venn diagram activity to observe similarities and differences of cultures. The lesson plan needs to be extended further to include the community aspect of the 5 C’s. I did not include how I would provide corrective feedback to my students. Based on the research…
