families who are bilingual. Furthermore, through the discussions they will also be able to discover how their colleagues and themselves view these families in a social context (Freire, 1998). The activity will commence with each educator answering questions in Appendix B and reflecting on their own answers before joining a group of three educators. This part of the activity is where educators will discuss their answers and conceptualise their ideas and agree on a spokes person to speak in the…
The learning event I attended was the Tupac Amaru Shakur exhibit in Robert W. Woodruff library. The exhibit is opened to all AUC students and staff, from Monday-Thursday, 9:00am to 7:00pm. I attended the event on Tuesday November 9th 2015. There were no speakers or performers only tour guides to help assist you in attaining your information. The tour lasted about thirty minutes and I was given a pamphlet explaining what I just experienced. This was somewhat of a guided tour. They first…
receiving” your education. There are many different ways of claiming our education, which include going above and beyond assignments, asking questions, discussions and class activities, reading for…
When I first arrived at college, I did not expect to do all the things I am doing currently. One of those things would be a tutor, and help other people with their struggles in different classes. I was always good in subjects such as mathematics and science, but never would I have thought I would be a tutor. The reason for it is because I am not an outgoing person. I am not a person who would talk to anybody I do not know, let alone ask them if they need help. I always had the ability to help…
happened to him again?” “Yes well he was walking past my house and all of a sudden out of nowhere someone shot him, then I ran outside to see if he was okay and where he was shot and well he was shot in the chest and I don't think it was that it was close to his heart or anything like that. Do you know if he will be okay?” “Right…
Interview Project Paper On February 17, 2017 I met with William Flowers to conduct an interview about his field that he works in. I decided to interview Dr. Flowers because he is my professor and I have always wanted to work with swine as my occupation. I have always grown up with a small family owned run downed pig farm. Dr. Flowers is very educated in the swine field. He is at the swine educational unit every day and he teaches at NC State university as a swine management professor and many…
health history. She didn’t hesitate with a “sure, I’ll gladly sit with you and talk!” We decided to do this interview over Sunday dinner with our families. I explain to her that at any time she needed to stop, or didn’t feel comfortable answering questions to let me know and it was perfectly okay. However, I soon realized that was not going to be a problem because she talked to me like she was an opened book! First off, I interviewed a sixty-eight-year-old African American female from Huston,…
also picked listening to my children as my changed behaviour. I am also quick to respond to my children's question without taking a minute for it to process, and having no idea of what they have just asked. I feel horrible when I have to ask them to repeat it, as they tend to become very frustrated. I am worried if I don't change this behaviour now that they may not want to ask me questions in the future and I do not want that to happen. I want to be the one they can come to when they need…
What do you want to be when you grow up is a question that most if not every young boy or girl has been asked at some point in their childhood. The reply is often anything from doctor to lawyer to teacher and everything in between. Whatever the answer, each child ultimately wants to grow up to be successful. For many that success depends on going to and graduating from college. There are many reasons for wanting to go to college. Some want to get away from their surroundings; others are…
mind a time that I was in my speech class, and we had to create a speech about the country we were from. I am a proud Dominican; therefore, I was ready to brag about my country. At the end of my speech, the teacher allowed the students to ask me question or add any comments. One student raised his hand and told me "I would have never thought that the Dominican Republic was such an advanced country and that it actually has restaurants like Apple Bees, Outback, etc." Honestly, this got me very…
