Word of mouth

it seem like they were still just having an everyday, easy going conversation and not an interrogation. II. During the assessment portion of the process, I was surprised how many questions were asked that didn’t pertain directly to the teeth or mouth. She asked if…

To test children 's ability to see other people’s intentions and use perspective taking a story is told to the child and then a series of questions asked. This test is to see what stage of development children are in according to Piaget’s theories of cognitive development. This test was completed on a five year old, kindergarten girl at Tye River Elementary School. The first task completed was telling a story about girl named Holly and her dilemma of either disobeying her father to help…

introduced the words “lady” to David so that he was exposed to the new word and new contexts during this daily conversation. With mother’s introduction, David’s literacy was enhanced as he could…

For this project, I took the time to interview my Nana. I chose her because she is my role model. My Nana is like my best friend. She is always here for me which means I can count on her for anything. It is a privilege to be able to sit and talk with her. I asked her ten questions and the interview lasted about eight minutes. What questions were I most excited to ask? I was eager to ask questions about her husband and life advice. Over the years I have heard little stories here and there about…

How did the peer leader (PL) encourage or demonstrate that he/she values active participation of students in the session? For example, at the beginning of the question session, peer leader would say “hi” to students, which reveals a sense of welcoming questions, so students would willing to ask questions. I found this way would help increase the chance of receiving questions from students. What were specific actions/question performed/asked by the PL that increased student involvement,…

For my community builder I decided that I wanted to interview someone from Freshman Class Council. This is when I reached out to the president, Darren Johnson Jr. to set up an interview. The reason I wanted to interview him and the Freshman Class Council in general was, that they do so much for the freshman class and that impressed me from the day I got on campus. Through my interview I found out a lot of information about what Freshman Class Council is and what they do. On September, 27 I got…

I chose the text “A Very Clever Possum” (Joseph, 1999) because it is one that students may be able to relate to, because possums are fairly common in New Zealand (dependent on location) and it provides opportunities to develop discussions before, during and after the text has been read, which will “enhance the students understanding of what they are reading” (Bidulph, 2002, p.1). I believe that an effective guided reading lesson can be produced from this story. I have chosen to introduce the…

specific options, the choices are not very diverse therefore the option “Other” is offered providing they give details. There is only one instance where an open-ended question is used. Open-ended questions allow the respondents to answer in their own words. This asks the respondent to “Please add any other comments you want to make about this doctor.” The fact that the survey includes more close-ended questions than open ended questions may indicate that the person conducting the survey is…

For the philosophical dialogue I asked the philosophical question: “Is it worse to fail at something or never attempt it in the first place?” I asked this question mainly because in science, scientists have to take risks and often fail many times before they succeed. The scientific world would be very different if scientist never attempted to do half of the things they did. Trial and error are key factors in scientific discoveries. My thoughts about this subject before I entered the dialogue…

Recently I discovered a new love for speaking to and learning about the lives and opinions of other people. I had been involving myself in more quality conversations with anyone from teachers to relatives, and each discussion left me wanting to replicate it with as many people as possible, but how would I incorporate this love into something useful? Fortunately, this discovery tied perfectly to an option on the list of ideas for my History 104 final project. For this reason, I chose to…
