In previous years the debate over bilingual education tended to focus more on the feasibility of educating English language learners in an English-only or dual language environment. However, in more recent years the focus has begun to shift towards how English language learners should be taught and with what tools.

The first part of my observation time was spent in an 8th grade classroom in the Neosho R-5 school district. During this time I was fortunate enough to see many different groups of students, varying types of activities in and out of the classroom, and a few different styles of teaching. These and other factors made this a very enjoyable and informative experience that I will undoubtedly learn from, and I will be able to utilize this knowledge in my own class. Of the school as a whole, my first
Going to placement is one of the best parts of my week because I really appreciate learning from Mrs. Much. Mrs. Much begins class by having the students sit on the carpet, while she explains the lesson for the week. Last week’s lesson was to be able to put events or ideas in order using the words first, next, and last. This week students were learning a whole new lesson. This week’s lesson was to be able to use text features, such as photographs, bold print, illustrations, labels and glossary to
My name is Charly Gordon. I had an operation. I will become smart. I have a chalkboard. I write things on the chalkboard. This helps me to remember. Today I will run amazed with Algernon. Algernon is a mouse. I want to win the amazed. I like the teeter-totter. When I am up in the air, I am free. I like to make funny faces in the mirror. Miss Kinnian showed me a raw shok test. I failed. I want to be smart. From the time we encounter Charly until he is told of his operation, every thing
would need to be protected. As the story progressed, I realized that we were undergoing our own Georgia Flu-- technology. Advancements in technology change the education system and slowly deplete us of learning tools such as pencils, books and chalkboards; all of which I would preserve in my own “Museum of Civilization”. Although I am only eighteen years old, the style of education from kindergarten to grade twelve has changed drastically. As a child, I was taught to have neat
of one by one according to a warped poem. No one knows if the killer is standing right next to him. Almost all of the characters have one theme in common. When a person has erased a life of innocence, they will never erase the guilt left on the chalkboard. This is revealed throughout the book using flashbacks, inner thinking and description, mostly from one off the main characters, Vera Claythorne. The first text structure that helps clarify the theme of you can’t escape guilt, is flashbacks. Vera

advanced technology can bring to the classroom, it was approached with much skepticism. In the early 1900’s, people were concerned and worried about the kinds of problems "the chalkboard" would bring to education! A century later, teacher across the country teachers and students are still successfully utilizing chalkboards in the classroom for teaching and learning. This little story is true and significantly compares to computers entering the education turf. I’m going to take this opportunity to
“Jump! Tuck! NO T-Rex arms, Morgan! Hands up! Flip faster! Come on, you can do this Morganess!” (Which is what they call me.) My coach was conducting. I have been working on my front flip on trampoline for years now, but for some reason I just couldn’t do it. It’s harder than it looks. I also I keep forgetting to do my landing right which is untucking myself, straightening up, but keeping my knees slightly bent. Sometimes it is not jumping at all or just not jumping high enough. Other times I bend
Purchasing a new technological gadget can be an exciting experience. After tearing through stubborn security labels, discarding excessive wasteful inner packaging, and tolerating the scent of new plastic wafting through the air, the consumer finally reaches their electronic goodie. Without power, the device is useless. It is simply a plastic brick with some fancy buttons attached. However, when this device is given a source of energy, it comes to life, and brings to its user access to entertainment
We approached that by wearing special drunk vision goggles and doing different acts to make a hypothesis of what level the drunkenness was. There was four different acts, one was walking on a straight line and the second one was writing on the chalkboard. The other two was catching a ball and throwing a ball into a basket. After all the activities were done we had to work on a worksheet of answering how we did and what would you guess would be the level. So our class had a lot of fun testing out
Peer Grading Does Not Violate the Privacy Law in Schools In 1998 in Owasso, Oklahoma, mother Kristja Falvo sued the Owasso Independent School District because she claimed that her children were ridiculed when their grades were read out loud in class by classmates.

Goals and Philosophy A person's philosophy on education covers many different aspects. Such things that ones personal philosophy can contain are the purpose of education, methods one may use in education, and even the curriculum which may be taught. I feel that these three things are the most important for my personal philosophy and goals of education. The overall purpose of education is not only to teach students about the set curriculum, but also to teach them to be individuals and creative
a spelling bee. Every student had to stand at the front of the room with his or her own mini chalkboard. When Mrs. Reed, my teacher, said a word, everyone had to spell it on their chalkboard at the same time. If you misspelled the word, you were forced to sit down at your desk and keep quiet. At first I did not see the enjoyment in the exercise. In fact, I can distinctly remember drawing on my chalkboard while my teacher explained the rules of the spelling bee. It wasn't until I heard the words "Tootsie
