Students are motivated by many different things, for example Carly is motivated by chips. I remember when I was younger and took flute lessons, my teacher would give me candy if I practiced in between classes and improved. It also takes some students longer than others to learn things. It took Carly until she was 10 to really express herself. Even once she started typing she had to learn how to spell the words she wanted to write, she also had to learn to form sentences from those words. Some students might take longer than others to learn, as a future teacher we must be patient with the students and find the best way for them to learn the material. Another part of the book I found upsetting is when the general education teacher said she could not teach Carly anymore. She gave up on her without trying much to help Carly. As a future teacher, we must try to help all our students, even if they have
She argues that a positive outlook will not make one cancer free, give one a job, make one wealthy or do you constantly happy. The beginning of the book made me realize that the balance of positive and negative thinking is the most important life lesson. She shows the readers how staying positive through her battles of cancers is going to make it easier, but Ehrenreich is trying to explain to the readers that it is okay to be negative. Ehrenreich gives the readers more of a negative side and thinks being positive is beginning to harm us. I can understand why she was thinking so negative while she was battling cancer, she was told by a cancer patient, “I know that if I get sad, or scared or upset, I am making my tumor grow faster and it will have shortened my life” (Ehrenreich 43). Ehrenreich sure did give the audience a way of understanding as to how people rely too much on positivity. She tells us that one will need to
Tommy’s teacher provided the time and what happened. From fifteen behavior, accidents there were nine verbal and six physical these accidents occur between two minutes to eighteen minutes. These behaviors happen with six times in math, three in check out, one in social studies, two at lunch, one in spelling, one in a small group, and one individually. The ABC provides that the highest of Tommy’s behaviors occur when she is transitioning the class to a new activity or giving new directions. Some of the consequences the teacher provides to Tommy are giving Tommy a choice, redirection, discussion of behavior, personal space was given, verbal reprimand, change activity, remove from class, and time out. Sometimes Tommy stops his behavior and others it continues even of the
My Response: I would not have given the student homework to do in class. Every teacher should have set-up in their room shelves with “I am finished, what now” work. This work should include current work related to the instruction being taught for the week/month.
Analyzing the situation of a student getting kicked out of school. Billy parents often had conversations with him telling Billy that failure wasn’t an option and that while he stayed with him he will maintain a 4.0 grade average and will he graduates he will go to college then join the Navy. Although Billy was involved in many sports and organizations, Billy was not content with his life and often contemplated suicide. Billy was put under an enormous amount of pressure to excel in school that he had no personal life. Billy was a loner and had no friends in school except for his teachers. Six months into Billy’s senior year of high school Billy met some friends and he was so excited to have friends that Billy started getting into trouble from hanging with the wrong crowd. By the time Billy reached his senior year of high school he wasn’t in honors classes anymore and his well-off parents were furious that Billy had gone downhill and started hanging with students that were underneath him academically wise. One day Billy arrived to school with his new group of friends which his parents disliked and his friends decided to skip
...nsibility. With the issue being that she did not get her homework completed I would focuses on that first. I would lead the student into making decisions that will help her figure a way to get her homework completed and not fail the assignment. Since this has not been a problem but could continue to be a problem in the future a plan needs to be set up. The student will first need to figure out what is working for her in her life to get homework completed during the day. After the student can identify what is working for her then a plan can be made. I will guide her but let her make the choice if she is going to talk to the teacher one-on-one and see if she can hand in the assignment that is not completed but still work on the plan to help her get her work done during the day since her responsibilities may be increasing at home during the evenings. (Book p. 400-104)
If Kewauna was to get help after school she would make herself better. Annie John used to be the star student until she stopped getting attention from her parents; she started acting out. Both of the girls have complications while they are trying to complete their goals. “My mother and father----I was leaving them forever. My home on an island----I was leaving it forever” (Kincaid 41). Annie John didn’t realize how much she will miss her family when she goes to England. “Not all of Kewauna’s fellow OneGoal students are going to take the deal with the same conviction” (Tough 5). Kewauna never had to deal with other students as much as she would if she went to a public school. If Kewauna set her mind to getting her homework done she would stay up all late and finish

Jaz Mitts Dr. Craig Smith HIS 103 3 March 2018 The Proclamation of Neutrality The proclamation of neutrality concisely covers the fact that there is a war happening between, in short, most of Europe and France, and that America was not going to side with either party in that war. It goes on to state that any citizen found helping or harming either side (probably referencing American ships supplying either side with ammunition) would be punished severely by the law . The document was written in 1793, less than 20 years after the country had earned its independence.
This particular class period consisted of around 3 students, but one student was working particularly just by himself with his teachers aid. Even before it started Ms.Metcalf classroom energy felt a bit off, and come to find out that during lunch one of the students had been teasing the other student. The student that had also been causing trouble had out of nowhere stolen paper clips off of Ms.Metcalf. The other student was not able to stay on task, because he still felt upset from the incident that occurred during lunch. This soon became more of a discipline class rather than the student learning about math, and apparently the "bully" had created pointer with the paper clips that could have actually hurt someone. Soon after Ms. Metcalf had to call the assistant principles to step in to discipline the student, and lost a entire day of instructions due to one student misbehavior. After the misbehaving student had left she went over to the emotional distraught student and began discussing that he should never let people 's words if they weren 't nice and that entire lesson became a lesson on
They say in the Chinese proverbs that "if you don't change direction you will end up where you are going." I have come to believe that this is true, and that most of the time we didn't want to go where we were headed anyway. New paths that come to fruition, "digressions" that become the assertions you are trying to make, aren't really digressions at all. They are, instead, the appearance of your "whole point" (Elbow 10). I don't know what my point is, really. Maybe I am waiting for a brilliant digression. It is a digression that brought me to this crazy craft of writing in the first place.
Informal words are conversational words like can’t, don’t and aren’t. Awesome could be classified as informal because people use it in conversations and it is not used in professional language. Most descriptive words are informal because there meaning is not a certain thing, it's just describing the thing.
As explained in class, we may have a student who never completes assignments and from that viewpoint, we determined that the student is a lazy person and more than likely does not care about the class. There exist that single chance of being correct on the inference of the students life; however, it so happened to turn out the student loves the discussions in the classroom but is struggling to find a balance between school, home, and work. The student may have collapsed in the wake of anxiety as soon as they sat down to begin a paper f...
