For L.T. #2 I will have my students describe the main event in 2 ways using only one sentence that will retell that particular scene using the illustrations in one and use only their descriptions in the other. In L.T. #3 I will have 2 pictures of a setting and illustration in the book and the students will have to explain/ describe what is happening based on the picture. In L.T. #4 the students will describe what they think the main theme or message is of the story, the students must explain why they feel that
Finally, I began writing about my genre—developmental collaborative writing on a whiteboard—and gave its purpose followed by a few links. These links lead to the descriptions of my genre’s audience, rhetorical factors, structure, and style of writing; with all of the information presented on my website there should be a good enough description of developmental collaborative writing to help my fellow classmates understand what it is. At the beginning of major writing assignment number one I began my thought process by plotting out how
For the second part of the lesson 14 assignment, I chose option 2 which is the design part. I used the Glogster tool, an interactive learning tool that can embed images, files, videos, arts, text, audio and data to a virtual canvas. In fact, the tool is design primarily for teachers of elementary schools to help students learn more effectively. I was surprised how user friendly it is and you can simplify your essay by using it. Also, I mainly used videos from YouTube to supplement by text and it came out as a child friendly presentation.
In this week’s Ted Talk, Alison Gopnik focused on the thought process of babies. In the past, people believed that babies could not perceive another individual’s thoughts, however with the passage of time these believes have changed. To help us understand what babies could be thinking and if they acknowledge other people’s thoughts, Gopnik explained how she and one of her students tested this idea by using broccoli and crackers. The student gave 15 and 18 month-old babies two bowls, one with broccoli and the other one with crackers, and the babies showed more preference for the one with the crackers. The student, on the other hand, tasted the food from both bowls in front of the babies and acted as if she loved the broccoli and dislike the

In the **** I could have added a visual for them to look back at. Choosing a character all students were familiar with would have helped them understand how to use the given information to understand the characters viewpoint. Referring to a book the students have recently read and only focusing on the main character would have been a *** example. Starting by going over what occurred in the book, and reflecting about the characters viewpoint through the story. By only focusing on the characters viewpoint would have helped the two students understand what to look for.
There are so many topics I believe that Richard Wright would've talked about today that it is hard to narrow down to just three. If someone told him that we would have a black president in the next century we definitely would have looked at you like you were crazy but if he were here today he would be proud of how much better we have come today. We have improved as a country today for equal rights and treatment of black people but we also still have a long way to go for we are not perfect. For example he would be very ashamed how black people are still getting killed just because of their skin color. He would also be disappointed that blacks are still getting paid less statistically less than whites considering how many jobs Richard had growing up.
Elie Wiesel’s speech, “Hope, Despair and Memory,” was given not only to accept the Nobel Peace Prize but also to commemorate the lives lost during the Holocaust. Elie Wiesel was a Jewish Holocaust survivor who devoted the remaining part of his life to preventing mass genocides like the Holocaust from happening again. After the Holocaust, Wiesel became a Professor at Boston University, but most of all, he became a humanitarian. In his lifetime, he wrote a total of about 40 books. His most popular is his memoir, “Night,” in which he wrote about his experiences during the Holocaust and his faith in God.
Ever thought of going from rags to riches? Or from nothing to everything? What about 6 dollars in your pocket to 130 million? Well I’m going to tell you about an interesting individuals life that has completely turned around. I’m sure you haven’t guessed but I am referring to the Tyler Perry.
For women like Heather King abortion was utilized for a method of birth control, instead of taking the precautionary measures prior to becoming pregnant. Kings actions where senseless and it was not just one life that was unjustly taken but two. Abortion is a choice, but it is an unethical and immoral one. All lives matter from the very start of life and it is not justifiable for people to make a judgment call on when they feel life begins. Planned Parenthood and other agencies that provide abortions do not fully prepare women on the possible side effects that are caused by abortions.
How Simon Sinek Persuade Audiences that the Secret to Success is a Reason Why In the TED talk, How Great Leaders Inspire Action, the presenter, Simon Sinek, a “leadership expert,” claims that all great leaders and innovators have one thing in common, they all have a reason why they do what they do. He convinces the audience that his claim is correct through a relatively balanced use of the three Aristotelian appeals: pathos, logos, and ethos. He gives specific facts and examples, to show his audience how his claim has worked for history’s greatest individuals and organizations. Finally, he uses rhetorical devices such as amplification and parallelism to strengthen his argument.
TED2006: Why we do what we do by Tony Robbins “Your model of the world is what shapes you long term…That’s what’s shaping us. It makes people make decisions” are the exact words of Tony Robbins at TED2006 in his inspirational TED talk (talk), Why we do what we do. Robbins calls himself the “why guy” who is dedicated to uncover people’s motivation for their actions. He believes that emotion is the force of life, and that if humans get the right emotions, they can accomplish anything.
How to spot a liar The Ted Talk “How to Spot a Liar” by Pamela Meyer discusses and compares seeking the truth and seeking the lie. There is not only a strict scientific method to it but a more humanistic approach. Meyer tells us how lie spotters are armed with scientific knowledge on spotting deception (Meyer, 2011). The strongest points of Meyers’ argument are that lying is a cooperative act.
Steve Jobs is still the world’s greatest corporate storyteller. The iPhone presentation unleashed a wave of enthusiasm towards Apple that they are still riding today. Here are listed the techniques used. First, constant interrogations helped the audience’s understanding and cached their attention.
I know that the students in my class learned what I need them to learn from my writing lesson. Furthermore, the students learned what was intended and stated in the objectives. I was able to measure the student’s understanding using a rubric, the quality of the student’s writing, and from my small group observations. 2.Were the students productively engaged?
