the mysteries of “The Berenstain Bears” and Nelson Mandela’s death, two ideas that are very relevant right now. The Mandela effect thrives on the unknown, however the theory has a solid foundation of background information. The Mandela Effect is the mass misremembering of times, dates, events in history, movie lines, etc., that many people experience alike; often strangers (Emery). The Mandela Effect has been occurring for decades
the Berenstain Bears, yes you read that right. If you had to take a double take then you probably are experiencing the Mandela effect. Berenstain Bears is a popular children’s books, but the weird thing about this theory is that thousands of Americans remember Berenstain Bears actually being spelled Berenstein Bears. People remember being spelled with an e instead of a. Knowyourmeme.com has a picture posted of a vhs tape of Bernstein Bears. On the side of the tape it said Berenstein Bear and
On August 23rd, 2012, a post titled : “Berenstein Bears We Are Living in Our Own Parallel Universe” was published on the blog The Wood Between Worlds, which described a widespread memory of the children’s book series Berenstein Bears as “Berenstain,” explaining the false memory as the result of an alternate reality spilling over into our own.

Furthermore, I will be discussing May’s ideas further in depth by examining the portrayals of gender stereotypes found in the popular “Berenstain Bears” picture books.

Molly Gutelius ENG 218 Professor Peterson 4/29/2014 Annotated Bibliography Final Project Environmentalism in Children’s Literature My subject for the final project is environmentalism in children’s literature. I was very interested in researching this topic because I am an environmental science major, and have never really thought about it as a topic in children’s books. Going into this project I did not know what to expect, whether I would find a lot of options, or if it would be somewhat difficult

It is a known fact that there are some pretty amazing occurrences that go on in this world. Miracles, and space travel, and future technologies all give to the obstacles that we, as mankind, have overcome(SC4). Today there are so many phenomena that happen every day (BE3). A viral phenomenon has spread across the nation that gives people the illusion of remembering an event that never happened, or something changed without anyone noticing. The Mandela Effect is what this is. Where did this idea
Do you trust memories that feel as real as all your other memories? In reality, they are false. The mandela effect refers to a phenomenon where a large number of people share false memories of past events. It is named after an event at DragonCon where many people all shared the same memories of Nelson Mandela dying prior to 2013, many say in the 1980s. The term was established in 2010 while he was still alive. Mandela effect is very different than many people just sharing a false memory. It is a
Have you ever remembered something a certain way, but it’s actually not the way it happened? It’s different? Well that may be a “Mandela Effect”. It’s like you could swear up, and down that something was a specific way. Many people have witnessed this recently, and do not like it at all! The “Mandela Effect”, is remembering something being spelled, said, or even seen a way, but it turns out, you were wrong. It’s believed the Mandela Effect might be a parallel universe, or an alternate reality
The Mandela Effect virtually exploded over The Berenstein Bears versus The Berenstain Bears. Countless amounts of people, including myself, vividly remember The Berenstain Bears being spelled BerenSTEIN rather than BerenSTAIN although, when you look back at the books and television show it is in fact Berenstain although, in my opinion, Berenstein sounds better. This is one of the most popular examples however, there are many more.
“No matter how you hope, no matter how you try, you can’t make truth out of a lie” (Berenstain 1). Various children programs or books, like The Berenstain Bears, try to discourage children from lying. They attempt to do this by informing them of the consequences lying brings. Every day, countless people find themselves being deceived, whether by their coworkers, friends, or family. While some lies may appear harmless, most do more harm than good. Lying takes on several different modes for which it
the library, I finally found me a book to read. The name of the book was “The Berenstain Bears and the Trouble at School.” I remember going home and laying down on my bed reading the book. The book was about how Brother Bear failed his division test, and Grizzly Gramps was mad at him but at the end of the book Grizzly Gramps helps Brother Bear with his division, so that he would not fail again. The next day Brother Bear had another division test, but this time he passed the test. The next morning
Literacy learning that occurs in the early years before age eight, helps prepare the child for school and life success and produces long term developments. The amount of language a child hears in their first years of life contributes to their cognitive development and human interactions that include language form the foundation for their ability of reading comprehension later in life. “Vocabulary development at age three has been found to predict reading achievement by third grade” (Lesaux, 2013)
Reading Memoir Mason Cooley says about reading “Reading gives us some place to go when we have to stay where we are .” Reading is like a journey you can take when you want to go somewhere. Everyone always wants to imagine they are in the journey with the character in the book. When the story is over the person that is reading never wants to leave the journey. Everyone starts a new journey when they open a new book to read. Sometimes people who read don’t have a journey with the character; they
Each person has his or her own style of learning. Learning styles include visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. In the questionnaire, I learned that I am very much a visual learner. This reflection will show what I have learned about my unique learning style and how understanding learning styles of the children I teach will be helpful as I become a teacher. Without realizing it, I learned about what a visual learner is and methods I used in school to make sense of the knowledge I obtained. According

She would read them to me just like the traditional, parent to child reading that many parents do. We would read for hours, Winnie the Pooh, Berenstain bears, Dr.Seuss, and The Lion King. The Lion King was my favorite. Although, The Lion King didn’t teach me how to read words, I still learned major parts of comprehending books. I didn’t know that I was learning, but it was teaching me the basics things
Since the beginning of time, well my time on earth, I cannot remember a time when I did not love to read or write. It has always been a favorite pastime of mine. I am a huge fan of fiction, and have always had a very overactive imagination. My overactive mind had led to an abundance of stories as a young child. I constantly had my nose stuck in a book, or my pencil to paper, writing away at some story I thought was the next New York Times bestseller. However, reading them now I pity all of my teachers
For me, reading as well as rereading, books such as Junie B Jones, Berenstain Bears, or the Harry Potter series, impacted my life immensely by increasing my vocabulary, developing my vital language skills and many more developmental skills. In the past, being literate meant beating kids in how many books I could read and being
I have very few recollections of my early years and the exact age I was able to read and write. Some of my earliest memories are vague on the topic of my literacy. However, I do remember small memories, such as, learning how to write my name in cursive, winning prizes for reading, and crying over every assigned high school essay. Over the last twelve years my literacy grew rapidly with the help of teachers, large school libraries, my family, and so on. There is always room for my literacy skills
