I thought about my mother reading to me when I was very young. I thought about me hating…

time to both works and to assess both works with enough variety that class does not become boring or predictable. While the students do have traditional short answers quizzes, class discussion, and an in-class group project in which they define vocabulary from the text, compose summaries, and create questions to quiz their classmates on Beowulf, the students also have the opportunity to create and share an individual project related to Beowulf. For the individual Beowulf project, the students…
modify stereotype without the notice of them even changing. The research shows to me that most of the stereotypes are based on some-type of race involvement of any sort, in Vedantam, Steele, Paul, or the Hughson Research, which I think is not right. Vocabulary grades are now based on the administrator or the one assigning the test’s…

am more prepared than ever to go out into college and write to the best of my abilities. One thing that has grown within my writing repertoire this semester is vocabulary. I have realized that I used to use copious amounts of words; it made my paragraphs in the essays seem redundant. I’m not sure that we did any mini lesson on vocabulary, but I went on a trek myself to find new words that I could fit into my personal dictionary. Along with bigger words like photosynthesis, my understanding of…
