When that book was completed, the teacher tried to engage Benji in another center, but he remained looking at a book. Another student came up and asked Benjy if he had ever been to a water slide, and Benji responded “no”. Benji put his book up when the teacher announced it was clean up time, and then he went over to two boys and helped them put away the toy trucks on the floor. School Psychologist Summary and Recommendations:
This was a very interesting book and I love it. I would recommend more kids to read
It was much better than I had anticipated before reading it. Wes Moore is a strong author who properly used writing mechanics to deliver powerful scenes and great messages. I would say that the main theme of this book is the importance of education in adolescent life and that small things really can make all of the difference. The author Wes Moore 's life appeared very dull in comparison to the other Wes Moore 's; however, it was Wes Moore 's life that would provide quotes that inspire or were otherwise relatable to MAST life. One such quote in the novel was : "In spite of myself, I was impressed.
The book consists of many compelling short stories that revolve around the major conflict, which allowed me to read the book without losing interest. However, the book was not just entertaining to read, but taught me many life lessons and allowed me to realize many important facts. For example, in the book, Denver and Ron are two opposite people that have virtually nothing in common and are actually a little bit scared of each other at first. However, after they decide to reach out to one another, they not only become best friends, but end up changing each others’ lives for the better. This reminded me that I could be a little bit more outgoing and friendly in life, reaching out to other people instead of seeing the same couple of faces every day.
The first day of class we needed to have the book annotated and ready for discussion. Through the annotations, I was able to grasp the hidden meaning and values of the book. I remember when I finally came to the realization of the underlying meaning
It really made me want to read from it and actually learn more about what the author went through. Students will enjoy this book! So teachers, teach from this amazing book, They will love
A picture of the teacher as a passionate, dedicated advocate for students is the one that was painted by Gregory Michie in See You When We Get There: Teaching for Change in Urban Schools. Michie presented the teachers in his books as individuals who needed to work tirelessly to overcome obstacles that the students and the teachers confronted. The teachers strove to overcome these obstacles because doing so was what they thought was in the best interests of their students. See You When We Get There tells the story of five Chicago teachers and their students as presented by Michie. He works to illustrate what he believes to be the most honest view of the way these individuals succeed and fail in their daily lives in urban schools.
When someone tries too hard to protect another person, they often end up hurting them more than they help. In Fahrenheit 451 the government tries to protect the people from too much knowledge which allows them to control the opinion and thoughts of everyone. While, in some ways this control benefits people, it also takes away from their humanity in ways that outweigh the good that comes from it. The high suicide and violence rates in the society, that are indirectly caused by the control of knowledge, show further evidence that keeping knowledge from people has more negative effects than positive. In Fahrenheit 451, the people are protected from too much knowledge, which makes them superficially happy, but also limits their humanity and causes

Curiosity is behind the spark of every great idea. Curiosity is very prevalent in Black Boy, written by Richard Wright, a powerful memoir detailing Richard’s childhood in the South: Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and eventually Chicago during the Jim Crow Era.

A child’s education is affected by various elements such as gender, race, environment, economic factors, privilege, and more.

It taught me that strength and perseverance can make a significant impact in life. I also learned that forgiveness and the ability to forgive is much more powerful than I ever realized.
