...importance for a home school connection in math, science, and reading… Bag Summary Standard 3: Family and Community Engagement sound familiar? How about engagement, collaboration, and communication indicators? Wait let’s not forget about parent/family engagement, learning expectations, curriculum support, two-way communication and finally culturally proficient communication? If you are a public school teacher especially in a system that has lacked funds then these terms, phrases, whatever you would like to call them have been eating at you for at least the past two years. The reason that they have become such a burden is not because we haven’t been providing these things to our students and their families for years upon years, it is because now we have to physically prove we are providing these things to our students and their families. Our word and reputations as being good even great teachers that are constantly visited and revisited by past students isn’t enough for the powers that be (not sure who they are) and our jobs seem to now be forever insecure. Designing and Implementing Learning Bags, and their importance for a home school connection in math, science, and reading couldn’t be any better way of physically showing our good practice as teachers to those who hold us in judgment. Seventh grade social studies covers thousands and thousands of years of history from the beginning of man right up to the beginnings of the Roman Empire. Before students start studying...

...Running Head: OLD TESTAMENT SUMMARY PAPER 1 Old Testament Summary Paper Arlietha Jackson Mid-American Nazerene University Discovering the Old Testament Professor Steve Longley, B.A., M.A. February 9, 2013 Running Head: OLD TESTAMENT SUMMARY PAPER 2 The World Out of Which the OT Emerged Approximately 6,000 years ago God created the earth in six days and he rested on the seventh day. On the sixth day he created the first human beings and name them Adam and Eve. They both lived in the Garden of Eden. In the Garden, God placed the tree of life and the tree of knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9). There was a Serpent in the tree who deceived Eve into eating from the tree. Adam also ate from the tree as well and their actions created the first sin of man; this was catalyst for the fall of mankind. After they were banished from the Garden, Adam and Even multiplied and populated the earth. God saw that all of mankind had become evil and corrupt and therefore he destroyed the earth with a great flood. Noah (a descendant of Adam and Eve) was spared by God before the flood and instructed to build an ark, gather up his immediate family along with a male and female of every living creature, and repopulate the earth after it was destroyed. Abraham a (descendant Noah) was part of God’s covenant. God promised Abraham that as long as he obeyed his commands, he would make him the father of a great nation; the nation of Israel. Because they were...

...Bible Book Summaries New Testament Matthew Matthew is that of the gospel genre. Matthew is the first book of the New Testament. The book of Matthew proclaims the good news that God is Emmanuel ("God with us"), that Jesus is God's Messiah whose teaching, healing, suffering, death, and resurrection now constitute a new disciple community, and that this Jesus Messiah, with all power and authority, commissions this community with the promise that he will be with them forever. Matthew uses the OT to clearly show that Jesus fulfilled the words of the OT prophets. Matthew showed the Jewish the love Christ had for them. Matthew intended to show through his recordings such as the Sermon on the Mount, and a collection of parables spoken by Jesus, as well as the arrest, crucifixion, and resurrection of Christ, that Jesus was the true prophesied Messiah for the Jewish people. Luke Luke is that of the gospel genre. Luke is known for being one of the most beautiful books of the Bible. The book of Luke compares Jesus to that of the gospels. His accounts start with a brief insight to the parents of Jesus, the birth of His cousin, and John the Baptist. Luke also records the journey of Mary and Joseph to Bethlehem, where the birth of Jesus took place, and a genealogical record of Jesus through His mother, Mary. Luke also records some of the more narrative stories of Jesus, displaying His love and compassion for forgiveness, such as The Prodigal Son, The Rich Man and Lazarus,...

Her family moved to Queens New York where she was having a difficult time adjusting to her new life in America.

There are many things that do, and I’m going to break the Epic Hero Cycle down describing how Job from the bible qualifies as an epic hero in the following passage. I will first list, and describe each step in the Epic Hero Cycle, then give a brief summary of the story, then describe each step of the Epic Hero Cycle using references of Oedipus from the Oedipus the King. The first step of the Epic Hero Cycle is meeting the main character, who usually possesses some type of supernatural power. The character is introduced, sometimes with an introduction. Occasionally there is a brief background on the character. The hero’s family may be introduced. The hero’s life may be good at the time, or it may be going bad. The second step of the Epic Hero Cycle is when the hero is charged with a quest. Usually given by a king or someone in high power, the hero is sent off on a voyage. Sometimes the hero is a figure such as an ultimate warrior, and the king sends him on a voyage since he is the bravest. The third step in the Epic Hero Cycle is when the hero is challenged with...

...Sundiata - The Lion King The destiny of man lies not in the hands of man, but in the hands of the creator. Such was the epic of Sundiata, the son of the buffalo and the lion. He was born by the “ugly woman with the hump,” paralyzed and sent to exile by his brother, yet, he emerged as the greatest king of Mali Empire. This review examines the importance of Islam, the jinns (ancestral spirits) and griots in making Sundiata the Lion king, the advantages of ethnicity to his victory, and its relevance to “Africa” identity in the 13th century. To begin with, Islam was the predominant religion in Mail during the 13th century and Sundiata’s lineage could be traced to Bilali, a devoted follower of the Prophet Muhammad. The muslims also believed in...

...***** Cruise Mrs. ******* ENG4U June 3, 2015 The Sadistic Nature of Stalin’s Regime Joseph Stalin once proposed that, “Death solves all problems - no man, no problem” (BrainyQuote). This truly reveals the sadistic nature of the Soviet Union during Stalin’s regime. Joseph Stalin is the epitome of a leader of corruption, and essentially imploded the Soviet Union through his many gruesome and appalling ideologies and premises. Child 44, by Tom Rob Smith, illustrates the horrid nature of Stalin’s Communist Russia through horrific conditions, deceptive lies, and vicious torture. Obviously, the terrible living conditions within Russia at the time of Stalin’s Regime strongly depict the horrific nature of his essentially man-made communist country. It is only fitting that Stalin’s regime takes place in Russia, home to some of the most brutally cold weather on the planet. Travel was nearly impossible, “The roads out of Moscow were covered with icy mulch…wind and snow gusted around them… with visibility less than ten metres” (48). This illustrates the grisly conditions in which Russian citizens must sustain life with no help whatsoever from a Stalin run government, where they live in a ‘burn your floor boards for warmth or freeze to death’ type of society. In addition to awful weather, food was a very scarce entity. Thousands and thousands of people starved to death in this communist Soviet Union. Leo Demidov, as a child, living with his frail mother and little brother...

... Their efforts have been surprisingly successful, in spite of the obvious physical principle that gas in outer space (as well as here on earth) never coagulates; it always spreads outward. Let us consider some of the major reasons the various theories of the origin of our solar system are more foolishness than fact. 1-Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the eighth largest. Mercury is smaller in diameter than Ganymede and Titan but more massive. 2-Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest. Venus' orbit is the most nearly circular of that of any planet, with an eccentricity of less than 1%. 3-Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest: 4-Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the seventh largest: 5-Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest. Jupiter is more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined (318 times Earth). 6-Saturn is the...

...To the Young Women of Malolos: Summary and Analysis Jose Rizal’s legacy to Filipino women is embodied in his famous essay entitled, “To the Young Women of Malolos,” where he addresses all kinds of women – mothers, wives, the unmarried, etc. and expresses everything that he wishes them to keep in mind. SUMMARY “To the Women of Malolos” was originally written in Tagalog. Rizal penned this writing when he was in London, in response to the request of Marcelo H. del Pilar. The salient points contained in this letter are as follows: 1. The rejection of the spiritual authority of the friars – not all of the priests in the country that time embodied the true spirit of Christ and His Church. Most of them were corrupted by worldly desires and used worldly methods to effect change and force discipline among the people. 2. The defense of private judgment 3. Qualities Filipino mothers need to possess – as evidenced by this portion of his letter, Rizal is greatly concerned of the welfare of the Filipino children and the homes they grow up in. 4. Duties and responsibilities of Filipino mothers to their children 5. Duties and responsibilities of a wife to her husband – Filipino women are known to be submissive, tender, and loving. Rizal states in this portion of his letter how Filipino women ought to be as wives, in order to preserve the identity of the race. 6. Counsel to young women on their choice of a lifetime partner RIZAL’S MESSAGE TO FILIPINO...
