A social interaction study was conducted within the Tyndale Christian Junior School that involved teaching two focus groups of five students how to make masquerade masks. The groups included both males and females within the ages of four to six. Upon the completion of this study, I learnt that while I communicate with people I change the way that I speak depending on who I am conversing with. When I spoke to the younger children my tone sounded much higher and I spoke at a slower and clearer…

‘think’ he is ‘very clever’, as well as describing them as ‘puzzled’. The word ‘clever’ demonstrates his self-confidence in his intelligence and he thinks he is one step ahead of them, which leads him to believe he has obtained power over them. However, this is thus contradicted later on, as he is then left alone, deserted. This is shown by the rhetorical question the poet poses at the end: ‘But where are they who sought you?’ The word ‘but’ reflects the child’s uncertainty, finally bringing him…

more after the reading to aid in deep comprehension. He was reading the words well, but I cannot honestly say that I am confident he understands what they all mean. That being said, I stand firm that deeper comprehension may have been improved had he read a book that was more on his…

The outcome of the lesson is students will be able to determine the author’s point of view by identify the opinion statements or persuasive language orally or in the text. The reason I am teaching this outcome is the age appropriate based on common core standards. Also, it is continuing of what students has been taught on the day before I teacher so it is connected knowledge for the whole unit. Help students to see author’s point of view can help them understand different perspectives of…

and life as you know it ends. The question of self-pity. Those were the first words I wrote after it happened. The computer dating on the Microsoft Word file ("Notes on change.doc") reads "May 20, 2004, 11:11 p.m.," but that would have been a case of my opening the file and reflexively pressing save when I closed it. I had made no changes to that file in May. I had made no changes to that file since I wrote the words, in January 2004, a day or two or three after the fact. For a long time I…

THEORY OF WRITING: ITERATION III In my first theory of writing iteration, I stated that writing was communication with words. For writing to be effective, it had to fulfil a purpose and conveyed a message successfully. Although I still believe this to be true, I also declared that effective writing involved correct usage of grammar, spelling, punctuation, organization, etc. No longer agreeing with this statement, it was the initial concept that challenged the way I view effective writing that…

IV: Rebuttals to my Characterisation of Reclamation In the above, I have created a model to represent to sociological phenomena of the reclamation of slurs. I have given an example how we can see this mechanism at work with respect to the word queer. Though this provides evidence in support of my thesis the question arises as to what measure should be used to more so test the effectiveness of the model. What should be considered and how can my thesis best be supported? The model which I have…

On October 21, I recorded a 25-minute session with Sarah Alford. We spent the session brainstorming, discussing ways Sarah could research her topic, and planning how Sarah could develop her paper in the most efficient way. By the end of the session, Sarah wrote down a tentative plan to complete the first draft two weeks from now. After I watched the video to review my performance, the video revealed that I have improved in keeping eye contact with the consultant, letting the consultant do most…

helped.”After hearing that I asked:”How do you try to influence others, and what do you try to do to help others have a better life?”. She said :”I think that using only speech to influence someone Isn’t effective, because actions speak louder than words. For example, if someone does something wrong, I forgive their fault, to influence them by my forgiveness. I teach people how they can forgive, by forgiving them myself.” For my next question, I asked:”After you were influenced, you taught me…

At the end of our last observation we watched a parent interview. During this observation we picked back up on this interview with the parent about her three year old boy. One of the first questions picking back up on this interview was the boy’s diet. The first question asked if his reflux made him have a limited diet. However, the mom emphasized that he is particular about how the food is arranged, but he’s not particular about what kind of food is on his plate. Next, the clinician asked what…
