I am writing this paper in order to display my ideas about the works of literacy in print. I have come across many different aspects in my learning that have influenced my thoughts and visions. I will be using findings as my belief for putting literacy into practice at the Elementary level. I will include in my writing different teaching techniques‚ a list of the Indiana Literacy Standards‚ ways to assess student learning‚ and addressing both early language learning and development and upper elementary instruction.
Children at the early stage in learning need many outside influences to guide them in the right direction. I have seen students positively and negatively affected from interaction and introduction to learning at home. I feel very strongly about encouraging parents to start their children early on reading. Reading is a fundamental skill that all people should possess. Even if the parent just take the time to talk to their child daily, so they become immersed in language. Then once the child develops speech they can begin learning the alphabet. I feel that this is a great home basis for parents to give to their children prior to entering a classroom setting. I also know that television has had a large impact on child development. The introduction of children’s programs such as Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood were great motivators and teaching tools in the home. Read more…
ON eight o’clock Thursday morning Arthur dent woke up and there was a bulldozer was ready to knock over his house. Mr.L.Prosser was trying to build a bypass were Arthur’s house was. Arthur lay in front of the bulldozer so it could not run over his house. Arthur has a friend named Ford Prefect, Ford needed to talk to Arthur. When ford arrived Arthur told Ford what was going on and why he couldn’t leave. Ford used mind games to trick Mr.prosser into lying in front of the bulldozers. The hitchhikers guide to the galaxy explains how to make the best drink in the galaxy the pan galactic gargle blaster. Ford also begins to explain to Arthur that he is not from earth. Ford had a device called a sub-etha sens-o-matic which blinked quietly away to itself in his satchel. While still in the bar ford was telling Arthur about how earth was going to be destroyed in a few moments.
They heard a crashing noise and Arthur ran outside and saw the bulldozer’s running over his house. This had been the moment ford was waiting for fifteen years now. Suddenly there was nothing but silence. All of the speakers on earth came on and formed a huge p.a.system and a voice told earth that earth was being destroyed to form a galactic expressway.

To most people living in America, being an American is thought to be a great thing. The American dream sought out by the founding fathers and immigrants that were striving to get to this country was the doctrine of: “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”. Americans get to make their own choices. They get to express themselves through freedom of speech without being afraid they will be put in prison or killed. Americans can be free in what they choose to wear and what they choose to do with their time and money. To people who aren’t American, life is about family, happiness, freedom, and white picket fences. To other people, American life is the life. The only thing is, that’s most people.
To me, being an American isn’t the greatest thing. I think that out of all the places to live, America is the best, but to me that’s not saying much. If America was really like all the adjectives that are associated with it, freedom, peace, diversity, acceptance, and equality, it would truly be a great place. Somewhere along the way to modernization, these founding ideas were lost and twisted to spit out the America we have today. Read more…
In my research for Learning Styles, and based upon results I received from a Temperament Test, I found that my temperament type was a Guardian. I learned that most people are classified as Guardians and that they comprise as much as forty to forty-five per cent of the population. Guardians are good managers who keep things running smoothly in their families, schools, churches and other social institutions.
It is no surprise that my temperament type is classified as such, since I have children that I manage every day. Being a good manager requires organization, and I like to keep everything organized. Organization assists me in managing my every day life. Tasks, such as maintaining my planner and scheduling my activities, help me to remember and to follow up on important duties.
The second area of testing concerned Emotional IQs. My results showed that I scored a total of one hundred eighteen, which is categorized as very good. The test findings revealed that I am able to express my feelings clearly in appropriate situations, effectively communicate and interact with others, and deal successfully with stress. I agree with these results since I typically try to express how I feel to others in my interactions with them. This strength will help me build strong relationships with family, friends and co-workers so that I will have the opportunity for a happier and more fulfilling life. Read more…
The writing process can be viewed in a variety of different ways, depending upon what angle each and every reader chooses to take. Writing can be one of the most beautiful things that one has ever seen, or writing can hurt to look at. Some everyday things that can be used to describe writing are washing clothes, playing cards, and playing hide and seek.
Writing is a lot like washing clothes in many different ways. While writing, a certain amount of particular types of words or sentences must be used to create particular environments for the reader. If words are mixed together that don’t belong together, the writer could cause this technique to fade into the minds of unsuspecting readers as an acceptable technique for writing. Too much or too little of certain techniques may cause the writing to break down, just like a washing machine would break down after too many times with too much or too little laundry. If writing using just the right amounts of sensory details and sentence structure, the writing process will all come out clean and pure in the end.
Writing is a lot like playing cards. Like playing cards, many different styles of writing may be used to obtain an optimum result. Depending on the outcome the author wishes to achieve, he may free write, write poetry, or even write using an essay style. In the game of cards each player wants to win, just like in the game of writing the writer wants to win over readers. Writing requires much thought and concentration with each and every added part. Writing may be simply to entertain the reader, as a game of “go fish,” or writing may be to fight for a cause and win supporters, like a game of poker is for winning. Read more…
