...note-taking, and flashcards have also been helpful to me when it comes to studying. When preparing for a test, I take notes, when completing a study guide, I refer back to my notes that I took to complete the study guide. While completing the study guide, I create flashcards to prepare for memorization and to further understand the test. Rhymes and songs have always been successful to me because it helps me with remembering the material. tudying reassures that when it’s time to take a test you’re going to be successful in completing the material. Note-Taking While reading the material, you’re able to take the time to stop and jot down notes; something like a little summary of the text you just read. In the past, when reading the material, if I didn’t write down notes, I would totally forget what I read. It’s a great way to go back and review the text instead of going back to read the textbook. When preparing for a test, I usually re-read the textbook and read over the notes that I took ,but sometimes if you have good note-taking skills, reviewing your notes would sound like a little summary of the text. Flashcards You’re able to create definitions of the important text that might be on the test. When it’s not the exact words that I’m getting tested on, I usually create important information on a flashcard with a context clue for a hint. A good use of memorization, with a flashcard, you’re able to create the flashcard to where you are...

What are different parts of a distance-time graph? * Flat sections up – steady speed * Flat line – stopped * Curved line up – accelerating * Line curving off – decelerating * Straight line down – steady speed in other direction How do you calculate speed from a distance time graph? * Vertical / horizontal = speed What is acceleration? * How quickly the velocity is changing * The change in velocity can be a change in speed, or direction or both How to calculate acceleration? * Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken What is each part of a velocity time graph? * Straight line up – accelerating * Straight line – constant speed * Curved line up – increasing acceleration * Straight line down – decelerating How to find the distance travelled on a velocity time graph? * It is equal to the time interval underneath an area of a graph What is mass and weight? * Mass Is the Amount of matter that makes up an object * Weight is the force which pulls a object to the ground What is weight measured in? * It is a force measured in newton’s (N) What is the resultant force? * The sum of all the forces acting on an object What happens to an object if the resultant force is zero? * It will remain...

...Einstein Never Used Flashcards By Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Roberta Golinkoff This was an interesting book about how children learn. The authors, based on evidence gathered from years of their own scientific studies as well as collective research from many other experts in child development, present a great case against accelerated learning, the overabundance and overuse of educational toys, and the pressures of standardized testing. This book debunks the theory that the more we can shove into our children’s brains and the early we can get it in there, the smarter our children will be. Personal Perspective As a parent of three children, I have felt the pressure of having baby geniuses. I heard all about how I should be playing Mozart to my unborn child and how the ‘Baby Einstein’ products and flashcards were a must in order to have a child succeed in life. The authors of this book claim that children don’t need any of that. In fact, many of these common myths are explained, along with where the myths originated from, and then compared to scientific studies. This book argues in favor of allowing free play in which children use their imagination on their own or with an adult. "When we understand what really does matter to children's development and how myths mislead us, we can feel more relaxed as parents and educators and can easily ensure that our children are intellectually stimulated and socially competent" (Hirsch-Pasek & Golinkoff, 2003, p. 268). I agree completely...

...tell” time when children bring favorite things from home. Use these opportunities to learn about what interests each child and what happens at home. Build on this knowledge to introduce new words and expand the child’s understandings. Be consistent and try to use the same words to say the same thing each time. Use a number of strategies, involving both verbal and non-verbal skills. Two ways to support the families of children learning a second language; I would assist the students in class with making flashcards to use at home. For many flashcards, visual aids such as pictures from magazines, drawings or even printed clip art can enhance comprehension and memory. Second I would get information from the community that they live in that would also support families. One example of a resource you can use to help plan for children learning a second language, with a summary and justification of your choice: ESL resources for English teachers can be found here, including printable flashcards, worksheets, lesson plan ideas, games, clip art images, and ESL jobs. (www.eslkidstuff.com) I used the website when I was working with preschool. One question you still have about learning a second language.

... SPHSC 406 Assignment 1: Creating a static and dynamic probe Shane Activity/Probe – “Artic-O-Prize” 1. Materials: 10-15 flashcards containing various words with /s/ in the initial position. Candy and stickers for prizes. a. The linguistic level I would like to probe is at the single word level. I chose to assess this particular level due to the poor results given from the language sample. Beginning at this level will give me a baseline on how to proceed. Single word level, with initial /s/ words, will also show the deviant sound at the phonemic level and at the consistent context of production. This will allow me to determine, whether I can either move up to phrases and sentences or If I should continue to work on improving Shane’s skills at this level. b. I will place a single row of 5 cards containing words with /s/ in the initial position, in front of the client. Then the client will have to articulate the word with the /s/ initial sound then move on to the next card, until they reach the prize. At the end of the row would be prize such as a sticker or a piece of candy. I will be recording the activity for a reliability purposes to double check and to compare my quick tally marks as we go along. This task falls on the high structured side on the continuum of naturalness, because Shane is limited to the words on the flashcards and the activity is simple, but very directed. I chose this level on the continuum, because at this point in the assessment structured...
