The teacher read the book by Russell Benfanti called Hide Clyde (2002), aloud to her students. This book was rated as level one which classified it as a Pre-kindergarten to Kindergarten’s book. It is about Clyde the chameleon who had trouble camouflaging himself in the jungle despite being taught on many occasions. It was important that he quickly mastered the skill of camouflage, because his life often depended upon this. Clyde managed to change several colors throughout the story; however, it was never the right color at the right time. Clyde was excellent at catching insects of all shapes and sizes with his tongue. He was the only one in his whole family capable of doing this. Clyde’s extraordinary abilities allowed him to attach himself to a giant Bumble Bee and travel to someone’s home. Once he became lost …show more content…
Clyde was able to attached to the Bumble Bee once again, and he caught a ride back to the jungle reveal to his family that he could finally change colors correctly. Before the teacher read the book to her students, she provided them with the name of the author. She explained the front cover, back cover, and title page of the book. As the teacher displayed the book to the class she asked her students to name the type of animal that is on the cover page, and what they the book was about. The students were completely engaged as teacher read the book to them aloud. She brought to the students attention that at the end of every sentences, the words rhymed. For example, she asked the students to repeat after her as she said the words, hide and ride. The students were surprised to see the character as he changed colors throughout the story. The teacher asked the students to counted the number of times Clyde changed his color, and to name the different
Clyde looked like he had a promising career ahead of him, he loved to play the Guitar and the Saxophone. While in school he liked to study music and started to become
“ The horizon was the color of milk. Cold and fresh. Poured out among the bodies” (Zusak 175). The device is used in the evidence of the quote by using descriptives words that create a mental image. The text gives the reader that opportunity to use their senses when reading the story. “Somehow, between the sadness and loss, Max Vandenburg, who was now a teenager with hard hands, blackened eyes, and a sore tooth, was also a little disappointed” (Zusak 188). This quote demonstrates how the author uses descriptive words to create a mental image which gives the text more of an appeal to the reader's sense such as vision. “She could see his face now, in the tired light. His mouth was open and his skin was the color of eggshells. Whisker coated his jaw and chin, and his ears were hard and flat. He had a small but misshapen nose” (Zusak 201). The quotes allows the reader to visualize what the characters facial features looked like through the use of descriptive words. Imagery helps bring the story to life and to make the text more exciting. The reader's senses can be used to determine the observations that the author is making about its characters. The literary device changes the text by letting the reader interact with the text by using their observation skills. The author is using imagery by creating images that engages the reader to know exactly what's going on in the story which allows them to
In life, actions and events that occur can sometimes have a greater meaning than originally thought. This is especially apparent in The Secret Life Of Bees, as Sue Monk Kidd symbolically uses objects like bees, hives, honey, and other beekeeping means to present new ideas about gender roles and social/community structures. This is done in Lily’s training to become a beekeeper, through August explaining how the hive operates with a queen, and through the experience Lily endures when the bees congregate around her.
During second grade it became clear that Mark was not doing well at his public school, which had large class sizes. He got hearing aids but even though it made everything louder it didn’t help him understand what was being said. People had the expectation and misunderstanding that since he had hearing aids, as long as he sat up front and paid attention he should be able to understand everything being said. That put all the responsibility on his shoulders, that if he still didn’t understand the teachers it was...
Three additional children followed Clyde’s birth, and the families financial difficulties worsened as the price for cotton bounced up and down. After some years the Barrow’s found it impossible to provide for their children and sent them to live with relatives in east Texas. At one relatives home Clyde developed two interests that remained with him to the end of hid life: a passion for music, and an obsession with guns. Even as Clyde drove along the lane in Louisiana to his death, he carried a saxophone and reams of sheet music, as well as an arsenal of firearms. Clyde loved and named his guns, and regarded them as tokens of his power.
	"It mattered that education was changing me. It never ceased to matter. My brother and sisters would giggle at our mother’s mispronounced words. They’d correct her gently. My mother laughed girlishly one night, trying not to pronounce sheep as ship. From a distance I listened sullenly. From that distance, pretending not to notice on another occasion, I saw my father looking at the title pages of my library books. That was the scene on my mind when I walked home with a fourth-grade companion and heard him say that his parents read to him every night. (A strange sounding book-Winnie the Pooh.) Immediately, I wanted to know, what is it like?" My companion, however, thought I wanted to know about the plot of the book. Another day, my mother surprised me by asking for a "nice" book to read. "Something not too hard you think I might like." Carefully I chose one, Willa Cather’s My ‘Antonia. But when, several weeks later, I happened to see it next to her bed unread except for the first few pages, I was furious and suddenly wanted to cry. I grabbed up the book and took it back to my room and placed it in its place, alphabetically on my shelf." (p.626-627)
During my observation in Mrs. Herd’s class I taught a phonemic lesson to the students. The phonemic lesson I chose for Mrs. Herd’s class was rhyming. During this lesson I taught the students how to identify rhyming words and how to rhyme with the ending sound /at/. The students will benefit from this lesson by gaining the ability to recognize and generate rhyming words. The strategy I used for this lesson is called “The Hungry Thing”. In this strategy the teacher reads a book to the students called The Hungry Thing by Jan Slepian and Ann Seidler.
The teacher walked to the front of the room with her book in hand and as she got closer to the front, Paul got lower in his seat. He knew what was coming next; it was time for the class to read the next chapter. The teacher would start reading and then call on different students to read as they moved through the chapter. This scared Paul right down to his toes. He had read in front of the class before, but it was what followed after class that worried him the most. The taunts from the other students like “retard” or “are you stupid or what?” This type of relentless teasing would continue until gym class where he could hold his own ground again. He did not have any problems in gym; class he was good at sports and liked to play. The reason that Paul has so much trouble reading is because he has Dyslexia.
In the experiment, Ms. Elliott divided her students by eye color; on the first day, those who had blue eyes were more superior. The blue eyed children were told they was smarter, nicer, neater, and overall better than the brown eyed children. Throughout the day, Ms. Elliott praised those with blue eyes and gave them special privileges such as longer recess, being first to go to lunch, and being the only ones who
One thing that the film tries to hint at is Clyde’s known problems dealing with intimacy. While he was first imprisoned, Clyde was raped on multiple occasions. He ultimately murdered his rapist, this was his first in a long line of murders. Many people who were close to Clyde said that he was never the same even after his release. These intimacy problems are exhibited throughout the film whenever Bonnie tries to get close to Clyde or touch him, he immediately becomes distant and tries to get away from her despite being in love with
Bonnie seemed to already be in love with him during the diner scene in the film. Bonnie also wrote poetry that you hear or see during the movie. She writes about their story; her’s and Clyde’s. In her poem she writes that “they will go down together”, which does in fact happen. It’s like she foreshadow what would happen to them. It might be because she didn’t have any hope that they would get out alive or be able to live in peace without the cops trying to find and kill them. The cops killed them in the end. They didn’t get away with breaking the law. However on page 27, they said “in our view, what kills Bonnie and Clyde is not that they broke the law, because nobody liked the fucking banks--but that they put a tattoo on C.W. Moss.” I thought it was interesting that they thought they got killed and didn’t get away with it because of a tattoo. It’s like how we still have that stigma on tattoos today. It’s hard to tell when Clyde actually falls in love with Bonnie. They have that one night in the house/cabin where they might have had sex but we don’t know because they don’t tell you or show you anything. This has a lot of romanticism tones throughout the
Later, a strikingly eventful sequence is used as another clear turning point of the story: it becomes obvious that the golden, lucky days of the expanded gang are over. Close to the end of the movie, the Barrow gang is ambushed during one night. Clyde’s brother suffers a serious headwound at 1:18:28, others are also injured. At 1:21:16 the camera is in a
Clyde had always had a craving for crime and began his criminal record as a young boy. His first crimes did not amount to much but he would steal from the local homes with his brother Buck and as we all know, his level of brutality within his crimes only increased. His first run in with the law was due to him not bringing a rental car back at the right time. I guess you could describe Bonnie and Clyde’s first meeting as “love at first sight.” They knew that they were meant to be together and that they were meant for some bigger purpose in the world (The Decades
Throughout Bonnie and Clyde the use of editing does indeed glamourize the criminal activity of the Barrow gang, and is also used to recruit the viewer to the Barrow’s side. This begins early as the rollicking banjo music that is played during getaway scenes is almost cartoon like, in which the hero always escapes. In contrast to traditional chase scene music; this banjo picking lets the viewer know that these are just kids “out having some fun”. Another
Church’s class plays a vital role in the student’s learning. Everything that surrounds the students on the walls has to do with subject matter and student learning. In the rear of the classroom, the whole wall is an interactive wall where the morning lessons take place. On the wall there is a calendar and a weatherboard in which the students write on with dry erase marker. Every school day the students go through the days of the week; they also talk about the weather each day. Likewise, in the classroom, there is a word wall that includes the spelling language for the week, the alphabet, punctuation and sentence structure posters. Students depend on the word wall to help them with writing. I have noticed students looking at the word wall to get ideas and information to be an effective writer. The classroom setting is great in Mrs. Church’s classroom, and I love how the setting is intertwined with the
