On 3/29/2016 I spoke with Leahanne Garcia at the operation. Leahanne stated she has been employed at the operation since May 2015 as a Teacher assistant. Leahanne stated on Wednesday (3/23) that the children had just woken up from nap and Andi was leading circle time, while she was moving the block center shelf back to its position. She stated the children had started to get up from the rug for center time when she heard Andi yelling "get up, get up" and was yanking Isiah up by his arm. Andi then started telling him "you will listen to me" while pointing a finger in his face.
As a woman, Tannen talks uses her own personal feelings, and those of the women she’s studied, observed, and connected with to describe the female side of her conclusions. Her experiences bring the article down to a more personal level something more relatable than just “the average of this” or “soandso concluded that over a period of 6 months with 10000 men and women”. Tannen’s personal references also give her credibility as someone who can give opinions and insight on this topic as it shows that she is not merely just someone reads studies and comments on them, but someone who has been in the field, doing her own research, taking down her own results, and discovering what others may or may not have in the past. It puts her in apposition of authority and
She creates negative feelings about being called bossy which creates negative feelings in other people of that word. She wants to persuade people to not judge women for having a sense of authority. Tannen wants to raise awareness to this because she believes young children who hear this word repeatedly in their lifespan can endure negative feelings about themselves and they can end up having real life issues as they grow up. Deborah Tannen feels that when women don’t live up to what others expect them to be they get judged and that this need stop because women do believe that ‘bossy’ is more than just a word. What makes her argument effective is when she uses words like “think twice” and “lets” to not portray an authority tone but a much friendlier one.
In Deborah Tannen’s article, “But What Do You Mean?” Tannen exchanges her view on seven topics of a predicament in a communication between both men and women. The seven topics which are apologies, criticism, thank-you’s, fighting, praise, complaints, and jokes. In this article, Tannen focuses on women mostly as her primary examples, such as giving more examples of women’s misinterpreting and miscommunicating in conversations. However, I believe that her article is too old and that her claims about the ways men and women communicate are too rigid.
The author wanted to split up her article into seven sub categories simply for organization. Tannen felt that the reader would understand her in a better way if she separated her article into sub ideas, and deeply explain each subject in order for the audience to comprehend the common miscommunication between the two genders. Classification is the sorting of a main idea into groups or categories. Classification is prominent in her article and is the basic structure on how this piece was setup. Tannen organizes her article to have her paragraphs talk about the seven most common miscommunication which are apologies, criticism, thank-yous, fighting, praise, complaints and jokes.
Furthermore, the feministic and male rhetoric parallel the theory of “nature versus nurture” concept. The male version is the nature side, which is harsh and cruel. The feministic approach is the nurture side, which is respectful and caring. These apply to all situations in life where there is the opportunity to present a genuine and benevolent response, or a blunt and crude response. Gearhart states that communication should be viewed as a “woman-like process” (200).
1. In chapter 8, Tannen mentions the communication differences between men and women that there are many communication styles of them, which is totally different between men and women even though if they grow up in the same place. They have such different outlooks on the world and a different idea of how to go about talking things out. Women often feel that their partner should be able to know what the woman wants without her saying, and men feel that the woman should be able to say exactly what it is they want, as women always look at the metamessages of conversation, but men just look at the messages.
Men and women possess similarities and difference in thinking. To explain, take communication for example. Research has shown men and women communicate in different manners. Deborah Tannen, Ph.D. who wrote the book entitled “You just don’t understand” highlights the significant facts of how communication styles differ among men and women. Dr. Tannen stated men prefer commanding whereas, women prefer gaining understanding (1990).
This passage reveals the culture between men and women and how their different goals lead to different places in the
On the sixteenth of November, I observed the Eastridge High School Concert Band, under the direction of Mr. Jeff Hoffman. It is important to mention that the piece being rehearsed have been worked on for around a month and a half, with Mr. Hoffman around half the band for forty minutes a day. The concert was a little less than a month away. The rehearsal, which began at seven-thirty am, started off on a great note.
The article “Effective Classroom- Management & Positive Teaching,” written by Katharina Sieberer-Nagler gives insight to elementary school educators about how to be more informed and experienced in their field by providing creative methods to deal with struggles new educators may not have a grasp of yet.
OVERVIEW The elementary school that I observed at, Orchard View Elementary, was located in Delray Beach, FL. The location was very accessible and right off of the highway. The teacher I got assigned to was Ms. Diann Johnson. She teaches a class for students in 3rd-5th grade.
Observation at Hendrik Louw Primary My overall experience of my observation at the school was enlightening and educational. I have learned valuable lessons, life lessons and class management tools. I have also seen the different roles that a teacher fills in her classroom apart from “just an educator”. The atmosphere in the classroom was conducive for learning and the teacher had “tools” in place to manage discipline, time management and helping the children.
Both sociologists used their own theories and related it to “working-class” and “middle-class” students and attempted to discuss how factors such as language for example, can have an affect on social
Classroom Observations Mrs. Canada is the first grade teacher that I observed, and the subject that she was teaching was reading. She had planned well-organized power points and crafting materials in advance, so she was prepared for the lesson. The two times I observed, the lesson that was being taught at both times was reading. Children in the classroom used a lot of previous knowledge for the lesson.
