...A Walk Through Time The significant moments in time collectively make up our nations history. In that history we see change, growth and experience loss. These events make us the people, that make up the country that love and contribute to. I chose five events in time that brought about a tremendous change across the world, and making life as we know it today, a walk in the park. MONTGOMERY BUS BOYCOTT Montgomery Alabama, 1955 and 1956 was an extremely volatile time for African-Americans and Whites, but the events of that year made history and changed the way of life for every Montgomery resident. The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a peaceful protest that lasted one year. Its main goal was to put an end to racially segregated seating on buses, but by the end it accomplished much more (Toonari). A Walk on the wild side Prior to the Supreme Court 1956 decision, African-Americans were forced to ride at the back of the bus. They suffered ridicule and racial slures at the hands of the bus drivers and the White passengers. In the early 1950’s two teenagers, Claudette Colvin and Mary Louise Smith were both arrested for refusing to give their seats to white passengers (Allen, R. 2000). Although this created some tension within the African-American community it tool the arrest of Rosa Parks, a former NAACP secretary who refused to give up her seat on the bus, on December 1, 1955 to set the wheels in motion for what would...

...A. Submit a data report from the five walk-throughs s an attachment to this task. Copy the data reports into a word processing document if necessary. Attached please find the data table for the walk-throughs conducted between February and March 2015. B. Conduct a “reflection protocol” with your practicum administrator. 1. Explain what patterns you saw in the walk-though data. There are several patterns identified from these walk-thoughs. In most classrooms, there is nearly an equal amount of student and teacher centered instructional strategies being employed. The majority of the classrooms are well managed and the students were engaged in the activities. No lecture was occurring in any of the classrooms. There was a lot of hands-on activity and practice occurring. There was a wide variety of instructional materials being used (although this is not reflected in the data), and even in the class where there were no materials being actively used, the students were actively focused on a teacher prepared game. All of the teachers are proficient at asking the lower-ordered questions (knowledge, comprehension and application); there was very little higher-ordered questioning happening. 2. Explain what conclusions you arrived at from reviewing the walk-through data....

...Journey of the Self The road I’m traveling on I see as a dirt road through a light forest in the mountains of northern California. I’m not sure exactly where I am, but it is a bright day with some clouds and blue skies, but off to the distance I can see storm clouds. All I have with me is my backpack containing a notebook, a pen, a pair of gym shorts, a spare t-shirt, a pack of cigarettes with a lighter, a bottle of water and a couple of granola bars. In my pockets I have a cell phone with a dead battery, a pocketknife, and my wallet with five dollars and my I.D. inside. I’m walking, surrounded by trees of all types. There is a light breeze, but it’s quiet as I walk and look around. As I’m walking, the road is flat and somewhat narrow, but it is easy going for the most part, with random spots where the road becomes rocky and somewhat stressful, but it evens itself out and becomes smooth for a period of time again. I feel happy and serene, but exhausted at times and in need of a bit of rest, but I always continue and begin to walk again. As I’m walking, I come to a two-way fork in the road with a sign in the middle. The sign has two arrows with words printed on them. Each arrow is pointing in the opposite direction of the other. To the left I have the choice to walk to the city, while to the right I have the choice to walk to a small country town. After some thought and consideration of both of my choices, I eventually choose to head towards the Country. I’m not sure exactly...

...the school (Togneri & Anderson, 2003). Making sure that teaching materials are high- quality and readily available for teachers along with scheduling appropriate professional development are two roles of an instructional leader. In order for these to take place the principal needs to be aware of what is going on within the classrooms. Conducting classroom observations is key in guaranteeing the right tools are provided to teachers. An approach that has becoming increasing popular is the learning-walk or walk- through. When administrators complete a walk through, it gives them the opportunity to gather information about the classroom and help frame collaboration. “The walk-through can be defined as a brief structured, nonevaluative classroom observation by the principal that is followed by a conversation between the principal and the teacher about what was observed.” (Learning Point Associates, 2007) Vital information can be gathered when a walk-through is used appropriately. It also gives administrators the chance to visit the classrooms more often then full observations. When visiting classrooms more frequently, it gives the principal a chance to identify any instructional concerns or issues and gives them the...

...and I would agree. I have lived in Milwaukee all my life, so I know this place like the back of my hand. I would recommend moving to Milwaukee to someone because they would get to be surrounded by these outstanding places constantly. Some of the magnificent places being South Shore, The Milwaukee Public Museum, and Humboldt Park. The first place I would suggest moving to Milwaukee for would be South Shore. South Shore is a long walk amongst the sparkling lake. While you walk down the lake you’re either surrounded by an enormous variety of trees that are as green as freshly cut grass, or the shimmering lake and thousands of different sized rocks that look as if they are meant...

...It was the summer before senior year I when I felt a shift from childhood to adulthood, the specific moment being a one mile walk. This was no ordinary one mile though, but it was through Special Olympics on a Unified Sports team with my fellow peers. This one mile seemed to me, a simple walk, but it wasn’t for the Unified Sports athletes carrying on this same task, illustrating how inspirational they all truly are. My mind was set on helping them finish this walk safely and at a steady pace where none of them felt they couldn’t keep up. What struck me the most is that entire time Coach Terry Bredehoft held Constancio’s hand, a member of the Unified Sports team, the entire length of the walk. That to me was the most profound moment as it shows how no matter what age someone is, they still hold the capability of helping others....

...Liverpool Football Club (LFC) – You’ll Never Walk Alone (YNWA) Liverpool Football Club is an English professional association football club based in Liverpool, Merseyside. They are currently played in Premier League. They have played at their current home ground, Anfield since their foundation in 1982.

The bird is normally represented in the form of a cormorant holding a frond in its mouth. The list encompasses the major honors won by Liverpool, records set by the club, their managers and their players. The player records section includes details of the clubs’s leading goal scorer and those who have made most appearances in the first-team competitions.

...Leanne Hittle Joan Ford Tyler’s House I live in a place that is very old if you walk into it sounds like you are walking on egg shells because every board in that house cracks and when you walk on the boards it sounds like there in mousse running around in the house. The walls look so rusted to the point it looks like some peed all of them and didn’t clean. The kitchen every time you walk in it you feel like you going to fall through it any time. The steps in the house every time you walk up there you feel like they are going to break and it sounds like mousse are running up and down them because they screech the whole time you are walking up and down them. There is cock roaches that crawl all over the place and then they start to crawl up anyone legs that evens walks into the house which scares the piss out of all the people they do that to. The basement of my house is filled with spider webs and mice and rats and ants and other creatures. The spiders climb all over you and when you walking in my basement then you are most likely to get a spider web stuck in your hair and then when mice come out they are more likely to run up your leg and then down the other and run into the Conner and die and then when the rats come out they more likely to come and bite you and then you have to go to the hospital and then you could end up dyeing.

...has found words” (Frost 1-3). This poem by famous poet, Robert Frost, says through the emotion people feel, we can use words to explain them. This is how poetry has been created over the years. This saying, many poems are due to the emotions one creates throughout their words. Every person in the world has a different frame of mind and will all think differently in some ways. With this in mind, what would then truly be the “best poem in the world”? As a whole community, with each individual thinking differently, cannot be answered. Although, many may agree that the poem, “She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Bryon, is considered to be one of the “best poems in the world”. The poem effectively uses literary devices to create a sense of the beautiful woman he talks about. Lord Bryon uses strong imagery and symbolism to depict the women; lovely form and meter creating a melodic feel through the words of the poem and similes and personification explain further comparisons to the beauty of the girl. Lord Bryon creates beautiful creations in reader’s minds with the use of imagery and symbolism. Throughout the poem, there is a recurrence of the contrasting ideas of night and day, and dark and light. Bryon changes reader’s perceptions when the beauty of the woman is compared to the “night”. In most poems, a woman’s beauty is compared to “summer’s days”, such as in Shakespeare’s sonnet 18. In “She Walks in Beauty” harmony is formed between two contrasting ideas. This symbolism...

Because of this, he tried to make Doodle more normal by teaching him to walk. But Doodle's brother should have accepted him from the start In the story, “The Scarlet Ibis” by James Hurst, the theme, people don’t accept others who look different, is shown through tone.

...SIGNALIZATION Alf Badge., P.E. Senior Engineer Post-Buckley-Schuh-Jernigan, Inc Charlotte, North Carolina Charles V. Zegeer, P.E. Associate Director of Roadway Studies Highway Safety Research Center University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, North Carolina FIGURE 5-1 Pedestrian signal displays.' Traffic Signals Traffic signals are intended to assign the right-of-way to vehicular and pedestrian traffic. When installed appropriately, traffic signals can provide many benefits, including the interruption of heavy volumes of motor vehicles where there are insufficient gaps in motor vehicle traffic for pedestrians to cross safely at intersections or midblock locations. Unwarranted or improperly used traffic sig-nals can cause excessive delay for pedestrians and motor vehicles, signal disobedience, and an increase in certain accident types. Even where warranted, traffic signal installations commonly result fn an increase in rear-end and total accidents, with a corresponding reduction in more severe right-angle acci-dents. The effect of traffic signal installations on pedestrian accidents is not well known, but different locational characteristics of the sites are important factors in the accident experience at signals.° While many traffic signals include only the green, yellow, and red signal faces, a variety of signal lens faces may be used, depending on needed signal phasing. Studies have suggested, however, that highly-com-plex, multiphase signals often result in con-fusion...
