It was late at night and i was sound asleep and the ground started lightly shaking i thought it was a dream then the it started shaking bad and i jumped out of my sleep in fear. My whole room was starting to fall apart my shelf fell my wall cracked all my pictures fell. My mom ran in and said come on we have to get out now! So i got up and ran with her down the stairs to the front door when we got outside our whole neighborhood was out and scattering like mice.…
In his article he writes, “It getting to the point where a letter with no misspelled words is the exception.” In order to get another person's opinion on this subject I interview my father, Christopher Mann. Weekly word lists and spelling tests were once a part of growing up. My dad was eliminated in the first round of the school spelling bee, where everyone had to compete, over the word “orchestra.” For my fifth grade year our school did not even have a spelling bee.…
If they have all the letter features they but confuse some of the letters they receive a 2-3 and if they spelled the whole word correctly they received 4 point for that word. Fall benchmarks for spelling along are 9 points for 16 words, grade 2; 20 points for 20 words, and Grade 3, 29 points for 24 words. Scores between grade levels are not comparable because their are a different amount of words required at each grade level. Evaluators can understand by the spelling score, the amount of phonemic skills the students are able to use and the amount and gaps they may…
One day I was reading the Bible, I was looking closer at the scripture in (Luke 11: 9) that says; And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. I wanted a better understanding of this verse so I read it over a few times and thought about it and looked again and then I felt in my spirit God said what do the first letters in ask, seek, knock spell? So I looked at those letters, and sure enough, it spells ASK – I chuckled and thought ok God why didn’t I see that…
Can you repeat the past from 5 years ago? My answer is no nor do i want to repeat it. Five years ago i would of been in 8th grade and that was the worst school year ever. I was picked on and was basically a loser. There was so much crying i did because i was so hurt by people.…
Have you ever been 12? Probably, but everyone is different when they're 12. When I was a small 12 year old, there wasn't much to me. I was misplaced, sad, scared, and stupid. And when I say stupid, I do mean stupid.…
There was a boy named Liam Wilson. He lives in Green Bay, Wisconsin. He is as normal as normal gets. He wakes up, goes to school, comes back home, and goes to bed. There is nothing “supernatural” about that, right?…
A few years ago I remember walking home from school. Mind you I thought I was very handsome back in those days, I had soft, dark brown hair, I went to the gym every day, I was fit and healthy, personally I thought I was a ladies man and I still am (I think). Anyways, I was almost home…
I woke up extra early this morning, because I knew I had to hike down and get water. Once I was up, I got all my stuff ready. As usual I was one of the first people ready. Being a morning person definitely came in handy on this backpacking trip.…
Chapter Two I was now driving down the road with a girl I didn't even know, but who thought she knew me. I couldn't imagine what Brad and my mom were thinking right now and how am I going to explain this when I get back to them? My mom is really protective over me as well, despite her blunt questions. I know I had to come up with a good excuse to explain to her.…
That's alright as the last time we met is over 25 years, my face changed and I bet even Kenny and Elaine will not recognize me either. I have attached a few of my photos. After RJC, I attend U of S for a year and then transfer to U of Lethbridge for another 2 years in business admin. Due to family financial crisis, I quit school and went back to HK for work.…
You can’t learn if you don’t try When I was in my childhood, I was a very timid person. I was afraid to try all the new things and meet new people. As a result, my dad began to encourage me to try out different things, such as swimming, playing piano and playing tennis, because he thought that if I tried many things, I could become more talented and outgoing. I used to be an obstinate person. If I firmly believe in one thing, it is hard to change my mind.…
Once again this was an amazing experience. Not as easy as I thought I would be, but still particularly pleasant. I really enjoyed describing the little-things-gone-unnoticed and call upon my reader’s senses. As a matter of fact, that is my favorite writing style but I never thought it took that much. I woke up, payed attention to the sounds around me…
“Mijita, you are going to have to wait until everybody leaves from the party and then we will take you to the hospital.” My mom said. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Was my mom really saying this? Were these the words coming out of her mouth?…
The data collected is in the form of handwritten responses to the Elementary Spelling Inventory (ESI) (Bear, Invernizzi, Templeton & Johnston, 2012, p.319). A comprehensive analysis of the spelling features utilized by each student established an extensive range of orthographic knowledge within the class. Due to the wide range of orthographic knowledge represented from the assessment data it is essential that instruction between the students is differentiated and systematically targets the significant features necessary for each students’ development to the subsequent stage of their progress. The assessment data…
