He emphasizes this tone by adding, “they have erroneous, and sometimes hilarious, notions of how the written language represents what they hear” (Courter). This article was not intended to mock or ridicule his students, but
A few years ago, Mashable, a digital media website, created a list of the 13 Most Memorable Quotes from Famous Classic Novels, among which they included Harper Lee’s distinguished book, To Kill a Mockingbird. The quote Mashable tabulated was one said by dear Miss Maudie when addressing young Scout, “Shoot all the bluejays you want, if you can hit ‘em, but remember it is a sin to kill a mockingbird.” Incidentally, Harper Lee’s novel contains many circumstances of inequities that accurately portray the awful consequences similar to that of killing such a pure creature as the mockingbird. Many incidents in To Kill a Mockingbird provoke injustice such as Miss Caroline’s treatment toward Scout, Miss Lula’s unpleasant attitude, and Mayella’s false
This event took place while most of the class was sitting quietly waiting for the teacher to give them directions about their next

Since I have noticed RJ’s difficulty focusing on a task, I wanted her to choose the book I read to her. I was going to go to the library and find books about the activities or topics she enjoyed, but RJ made it a lot easier for me to pick which book I was going to read to her. The main reason I read The Very Hungry Caterpillar to RJ is because every day, multiple times a day, for a whole week, she would ask me to read it to her. It was also the book she would always pick during quiet reading time in the classroom. I felt that if she kept asking for it, she really wanted it to be read to her and she would actively listen to it being read to

No one even went to the bathroom” (Baxter 140). The children are interested and engaged in hearing what she has to say. The fourth graders value the idea that Miss Ferenczi is trying to impart: that learning can be fun and

The quote “the bumblebee’s wings are so thin and its body so big, it should not be able to fly. The only problem is the bee doesn’t know that” to me has to do with believing in yourself and not letting others make you think less. The moment someone tells you that you cannot doing something, I can make you feel discouraged and stop you from even attempting it. On the other hand, if you are not doubtful of the task then you will at least give it a try not even knowing if you will succeed or fail. In the case of the bumblebee, it could fly because no one ever gave it the opportunity to think otherwise.
