We Need Answers

While Mr. Gilman asks Mayella to describe what happened that night, she doesn’t answer. Mr. Gilman begins to ask more specific questions and she answers with minimal answers. When the judge asks her to tell the court what happened, she bursts into tears. The judge tries to comfort her telling her that she has no cause for shame as long as she tells the truth and that Mr. Finch…

We tried to come us with the easiest question possible, but we realized that we needed to focus more on showing her what we wanted from her than telling her. My group and I we focused our teaching on, how to behave in a reading circle. Since it was about reading we decided that the easier question was to ask Edith, When you read do you sit on the rug? We had images to show her of a rug because we concluded that she might not know what a rug is and we had a book to show her…

are engaging with the curriculum through questioning (Shindler, 2009). It enables them to elicit their thinking by observing their environment and forming questions about it (Shindler, 2009). Then as a class, students can work together to find the answers and solve the problem or task (Shindler, 2009). When implementing an inquiry-based activity in the classroom, the teacher should initially direct the students toward something in particular (Shindler, 2009).…

it asks for a policy, and only one of the four answer choices (a.) is, in fact, a policy. The three distracters are merely statements of fact. The correct answer becomes obvious based on a flaw in the incorrect answer choices. The sample CPA exam question in Figure 2 exemplifies the importance of including quality distracters in MC questions. MC questions that guide students to correct or incorrect answers or that lack thoughtful incorrect answer choices are ineffective in evaluating student…

For my human sexuality class, I was to conduct a sexual interview with an individual focusing on sexuality. We were to ask questions focusing on the individual’s attitudes and feelings towards sexuality and any misconceptions they may have held about sexuality. This activity also allowed the interviewer to become aware of their own feelings and attitudes about sexuality during the interview. I intentionally wanted to conduct this interview with a male, because asking questions around sexuality…

prompts (over 69.7%) as they were found to be creating inconsistencies in the child’s statement. It most likely created a pressure in the child to respond of what he/she might thing the interviewer wants to hear. They were more likely to repeat the answer when they were asked the same repeated question for no reason. There was a surprising fact brought up that when the children were asked to clarify their response, they were more likely to contradict the statement or just change it. There are a…

did ask very similar questions to what Creed said would be asked. If I could redo those interviews knowing what I learned from this seminar, I feel as if I’d do much better and feel more confident on what I was doing and saying. I would be able to answer the questions in a more concise way and get my point across better. Just knowing what to expect would have helped my past interviews go smoother. Definitely now I will be using all of his tips in my future interviews. Overall, I think attending…

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” Your job in this, dear fish, is to identify the trees most common around; the multiple choice, essay, short answer, extra credit, and graph problems, in descending popularity. These all have their place in the forest that is a test, and as varied as any forest, there are infinite ways to mix them. The hierarchy of test questions is up for debate, but one thing…

I chose this experiment because I wanted to investigate if those introduced to lower numbers before answering, would give answers containing lower numbers. Likewise, I wanted to see if those shown high numbers would use higher numbers in their answers. To test my theory, I picked five individuals who could be recognized but who’s birth years were not common knowledge. I chose JFK (1917), Napoleon (1769), Amelia Earhart (1897), Thomas…

the door in an attempt to go and help out Francechi and Mendez. I read Inmate Sedillo his Miranda rights from a standard Issue MCSO Miranda Rights card. I asked if he understood his rights, and he replied, “Yes.” I asked if he would voluntarily answer my questions. Inmate Sedillo replied, “Yes.” Inmate Sedillo then stated, “I wasn’t involved in a fight, I was assaulted.” I informed Inmate Sedillo that he was observed on the camera recording participating in the fight and earlier he free…
