...taking a class to a special. I took the class that was in Mrs. Werne’s room back to their homeroom class from science, and then I picked up my Mrs. Werne’s class from math and took them back to our classroom. What management strategies or procedures did you use with the students? Since this was the first transition that I did on my own, I was a bit nervous. Since I wasn’t taking the class very far, it was hard to think of strategies to use for just a short period...

... “Did you ever read any of the books you burn?’ He laughed “That’s against the law!” (Page 5) How would you feel if your books were burned? I am glad that they are not against the law. With a book you could have quite a fire or start a fire with books. I really like reading books that you can understand and know the truth of...

...I remember as a young child my parents, teachers, and tutor always saying " read the book" and I didn't. I thought that it was just silly to do so and that it wasn't necessary, especially since the teachers would always teach us what was in the book. Now that I am older and have to read more documents and sign more papers on my own, I see why it is important to learn how to read. Most of what we learn is through reading. The more we read, the more we know and the more we are able to remember. Through reading comes knowledge. When we read, our brain processes the information and stores it as memory. This gives us more knowledge because after reading any kind of material several times, we will have eventually learned it and remember it more. This is because our...

...are very important to this country and I know that as I graduate from college, enter the workforce, and start a family, those topics will become more important to me. But as a teenager I am most affected by the public educational system at this point in my life, and I listen to the politicians talk about how they are going to “fix” it. So I try to understand what they mean by “fix” the public educational system and I try to figure out what is wrong with it. Overall, I think that the teachers I’ve had over the years have done a great job preparing me for college and the work force. While we all know that no public system is perfect and improvements can be made in many areas, I feel that one area that has impacted students negatively the most is the way teachers make us learn to read and write. I am confident that most students who are currently in high school, or recently graduated, would agree that the way most teachers force students to read and write has a direct result in many students’ unwillingness, or lack of desire to read for recreation. I personally have felt like every time the teacher would make us read some obscure book or story that had little to no interest to a pre-teen or teenager, I was being “force fed” like a cow being lead to slaughter. I understand that the teacher’s job is sometimes very difficult to try and make the boring books enjoyable, and that sometimes school boards only approve books that they feel are “culturally important” or the books are...

...appreciate some quiet time to myself. In fact, some of my favorite time during the day is the time I spend driving to and from work (I live about twenty minutes from where I work). I often listen to the radio, so I don't know if I'm technically alone, but it's time where I can think and reflect on things that have happened during the day. It's often during this time that I have some of my best ideas, too. If we ought to be familiar with anyone, it should be ourselves. And spending time alone can help us come to know ourselves better. In this lesson, you will read some pieces that show the authors learning about themselves. You will see through the readings how the experiences we go through often teach us things about ourselves that we didn't know before. Hopefully, as you go through the assignments in this lesson, you will find out new things about yourself, too. 1. Learn the meanings of eight new words; these are words that will also appear in the literature selections you will be reading. 2. Read the selected pieces of literature, recall basic facts about what you've read, and answer questions that require you to...

...Paper #1 I ask a simple question, why do you like to read Edgar Allan Poe stories and poems? You are going to give a simple answer along the lines of, “I like dark stories” or “he is my favorite writer”. That however, doesn’t truly answer my question of why. We all have a personal literary aesthetic, what we enjoy reading and what we don’t. What makes for a good read? A bad read? We all as readers have differing opinions on these concepts. I would like to discuss my personal literary aesthetic, addressing what’s of literary quality and what isn’t, what I consider good and what I consider bad, and what’s worth reading and what isn’t. There are many characteristics of what I consider good work. There are the basics such as grammar, good plot, good characters, language, etc. Then there are the particular things about the stories that I read that either enticed me or deterred me from reading further, which I will mention as I go through the different types of reading materials. The first thing I would like to discuss is what I consider of literary quality and a pleasure to read. Edgar Allan Poe's work is something I find pleasurable and it has great literary quality. I find his work pleasurable because it delves into the psychologically dark recesses of our minds and forces us to think about the dark side of humanity. I find this interesting because we all would like to think we would never do the things the characters in Poe’s work would do, but when you...

...understanding what I read, annotating what I just read, analyzing the reading, reading between the lines of what the author is trying to say, and organizing my thoughts and ideas on a piece of paper. It doesn’t help much that both reading and writing never was interesting to me. I found myself struggling throughout the years I’ve been in school to pass an English or composition class. I did, however, find one subject that I could connect with those subjects that helped me understand and progress as a reader and a writer ¾ Music class. As a kid in elementary school, we had basic music classes, and my first memory in a music class was learning to play the recorder. Our teacher taught the class how to hold, and position each finger over the holes of the recorder to make different sounds. At this age, is was hard to harmonize, considering it was our first year learning an instrument. There was no reading or writing when it came to playing the instruments, but with music, a story can be made. For example, half the class would play our recorders in sync with one another, and other students in the class would play percussion. With the rhythm of the music combined, the feel and sound of the music gives the audience a feel of a different environment, such as feeling as though you are taking a journey through an Indian village, or celebrating the first fourth of July in America. As I progressed through the year, music classes turned into singing as well. In order to know the words that we were...

...new type of market: the market of publishing. During the following centuries this market favoured the born of different applications of the printing, for example giving birth to the newspapers. But until the XX century nothing has changed in the approach to reading. In the early 80's, when computers and digital technology began to be really important tools for research of every kind, the idea that printed books could be converted in a virtual version started to be taken into consideration. It seems to be a not so relevant change from the point of view of reading itself because the method is still the same; but in terms of tools, the approach to reading evolved. The books are available in a digital format and an eReader is needed to read these files. We can consider the eReader like the cover of a book, and the eBooks files like the pages of the...

...genre while men prefer more mystery genre but through my research I have come to conclusions with the fact that the novel choices of men are less emotional when compared to women but there are a few cases of exceptions. The purpose of this research paper was to find out whether females still read more emotional centered novels than males using survey techniques. Key Terms: Emotions, Gender, Novels This research was conducted for the purpose of understanding human behaviors and gender stereotypes within those behaviors. Emotions are an important aspect for humans to make judgments and choices (Huebner, Dwyer, & Hauser, 2009) hence my research will be based on the choices we make and whether gender plays a role in it or not. Objectives Primary Objective: * To find out whether there are male students who choose emotional novels as compared to females in Manipal University, Dubai. Also, whether females do not choose to read emotional novels regardless of the general stereotype of their emotional behavior. Secondary Objective: * To find out what genres of novels the students of Manipal University prefer * To find out their favorite novelists * To find out which sex reads the most number of novels Literature Review A novel is a fictitious prose narrative of book length, typically representing...

Maybe if it were acceptable for me to read the books I read as a kid I would enjoy reading more. The books of my childhood were the best. My six year old self thought Dr. Seuss was an artist with words. The B Book was a work of pure genius. Without a doubt that...

This Weeks Memory Verse Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. A Spiritual Growth Essential - The Church Often, when dealing with new Christians, it seems as though they don't hold a very high regard for the Church of Jesus Christ. I think that they are mistaking the religious schemes of mankind for the Church of Jesus Christ. They have seen those that have used religion for their own personal gain, and have decided that they want nothing to do with that kind of religion, and I don't blame them. The truth is that the Church of Jesus Christ is not about religion at all, it's about relationship. You see religion is that which mankind does to make one feel good about himself toward God. Christianity is about developing...

...way I used to think." Carr went on farther, saying that he cannot read as long as he used to, his concentration starts to wonder after two or three pages. He states, "he began to get fidgety and lose his focus and start looking for other things to do." Carr says this change is because he spend so much time on the internet, that as a writer, then he finds the Web to be very valuable to him getting information. Carr say to him and others, the internet is becoming a universal medium, that most information flows through your eyes and ears and into your mind. Wired's Clive Thompson says, "the net seems to be doing is chipping away the capacity for concentration and contemplation, that the mind now expects to take in information the internet distributes it; in a swiftly moving stream of particles." He uses for an example, "Once I was a scuba diver in the sea of words. Now I zip along the surface like a guy on a Jet Ski." The reason he says this is because why searching the internet we tend to just skim from site to site and to never return back to the same site. Carr says that he is not the only one, that when he mention his reading to his friends, many say they are having the similar problems. One of his friends, Scott Karp states that, " he has stopped reading books altogether. Karp said in college he read a lot of books, but what happen is that he started to think about what if he did all his reading...

Nobody wants to be singled out ever.The treatment of women has always been a hard subject in society and many subjects of novels. Walker dramatically shows realistic imagery, as she reels the reader in by conditions black women put up with and what life can be like when you are abused. In The Color Purple ,by Alice Walker, tackles the subject of sexism in communties. The first amendment does issue the fact that women's rights should be their and that everyone has the freedom, and that we all have quality The Color Purple written by Alice Walker should not be banned, through various arguments. Some including that it is an honest depiction of African-American life in the early 20th century, it addresses child abuse issues, rape, that still need to be addressed in our society, and because the freedom of speech is a constitutional right. The Color Purple was banned due to explicit language, sexual content, and racist stereotypes. Although, you would think the banning of the book is very difficult or hard but it is actually simple. There are two different ways to get a book removed, either banning or challenging. Banning a book is the removal no matter what. A Challenged book is when its an attempt to remove or restrict materials based of a person or group of people. A...
