Observation

On January 16, 2017 at approximately 1603 while working the Martin Luther King celebration at Fort Mellon Park, located at 600 E. 1st Street, I observed a large crowd moving west from the park toward the event field. Officer Gentry and I begin walking alongside the crowd to see what was going on. As Officer Gentry and I walked toward the field some of the crowd stopped moving. At this time two groups of MLK participants began walking toward each other that’s when Officer Gentry and I began to…

well as Pennsylvania. This production was a comedy and a love story all in one. Billy, the protagonist, loved Hope, who was engaged to Evelyn. All the characters interact on a cruise ship that was going from New York to England. Through multiple observations about this musical, I can understand more concepts about theatre. Staging/directing Throughout the show, the characters could be seen across all angles. In a scene, the characters were in a semi…

while a orange-red face is typical for the males. The observations began around 2:30 Inside in a display next to other primates. it was rainy outside but I don't think that affected the behavior of the little guys. There were three primates total in the cage, two female one male. When I first looked in the enclosure one of the three was eating and two others were dozing off in the corner, snuggled up together. I chose to do my observation on the first one who was eating because I didn’t know…

Week One I will be completing my observation at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, we are an inner city school that falls under title1 accommodations; meaning more that 90% of our students go for title 1 services.

The population of the school is of Hispanic descent, a big portion of the students being first generation Dominican. O.L.Q.M is an extremely warm environment for the…

In order to learn to become a beneficial teacher and develop through personal intellectual growth, I spent two days completing the Student as Practitioner Assignment (SAP). Throughout these days I viewed multiple teaching styles and various grade levels. On Thursday, October 20th, I observed the classes of Señora Blystone and Señora Drees at Marinette High School. Most of the classes I observed were beginner level Spanish classes composed of high school freshmen and sophomores. However, I…

Introduction For the observation of a school and community event, I observed Back to School (BTSN) at Van Ness Elementary School. Since I am a teacher at Van Ness, I had to observe the event as if I was a community member who knew nothing of the school. This allowed me to closely watch how teachers interacted with parents, their effort in welcoming all visitors and how they delivered important information. As I reflect on this experience and my knowledge about the initiatives, programs and…

space. This allowed for me to always be paying attention to how each student was behaving, participating, engaging, learning or in need of help. Specific things were observed from particular students throughout the whole activity. Some of these observations were that Ali needed some extra guiding through some of the dance steps, Molita had to be advised about safety to not get in other peoples space and Ethan had to be reminded to stay focus. All of these things were behaviour characteristics…

Thematic Observation In these two poems, both of them are describing the culture of Hong Kong. In “Mother Tongue”, the writer Tegan Smyth is half-breed of Hakka Chinese and Australia. She writes about languages, culture, and humanity, etc. This poem has illustrated that language plays an absolutely necessary and important role in awaring cultural identity as expected. Lots of expressions and characteristics of the two different places were frequently used to represent the difference between…

During this observation one of the first things I notice was how large the gymnasium was. For this class and class period I got to see how the teacher really took advance of it and used it to her benefit. Due to the fact the space was large enough allowed all the students’ time to participate in activities with minimal time lost in waiting and transition. As a result of a shorter wait time allowed the students to be active or participate in class longer. During this period I got to observe how…

One of the first key elements that needed to be noted were the emotions and feelings of the participants before the time of their presentation. During this time two of the students didn’t seem to notice a lot of changes in feelings towards the speech rather that general anxiety. When it came to two of the scholar’s emotions such as regret and sorrow began to race through their minds. It got to the point that they were all thinking about dropping the course to prevent from speaking out loud. The…
