Name That Word, is an article by Sara J. Hines about, "Using song lyrics to improve the decoding skills of adolescents with learning disabilities" (Hines, 2010). Often times adolescents lack basic word identification skills, and figuring out a motivating instructional approach becomes more and more difficult as students get older (Hines, 2010). Data reported by the National Assessment of Educational Progress, in 2009, found that 63% of 8th grade students who have learning disabilities are not reaching the Basic Level of proficiency (Hines, 2010). Once students enter high school lacking these core reading skills they will be more likely to struggle with coursework, drop out, become unemployed, and struggle with social and emotional …show more content…
While she knew that Jaclyn was resistant to reading instruction, she also knew that Jaclyn had a great interest in music. For that reason, she typed up lyrics to Jaclyn's favorite song in a 20-font print, and asked her to read the words, which she did without any error (Hines, 2010). Hines continued to have Jaclyn read the lyrics as she charted her speed and accuracy (Hines, 2010). After that, Hines highlighted 10 high-frequency words and asked Jaclyn to read them (Hines, 2010). Upon reading a certain high-frequency word, Jaclyn made a flashcard for that word (Hines, 201). These flashcards were used every day, and once Jaclyn identified a specific word automatically five times she put away that flashcard and created a new one (Hines, 2010). Then Hines introduced words that have,"… the same rime pattern as mastered key words from the lyrics" (Hines, 2010). For these rime family words, Jaclyn also created flashcards (Hines, 2010). The words in the rime family were also incorporated into Jaclyn's spelling program (Hines, 2010). Once Jaclyn could read the song fluently, identify the high-frequency words by themselves, and read and spell all of the rime family words, she moved on to another

The Wilson Language program has a precise structure to function as an intervention and is able to assist second through twelfth grade struggling readers to learn the construction of words by directly instructing students to decode and encode confidently. Natalie Hill, a Wilson Language Program assessor, said, ‘“There is a frequent change of pace, students will see as well as hear, multiple opportunities for students to be engaged and participate in activities, extensive controlled text methods and materials to “see” critical word components, like vowels, digraphs, etc., stop “guessing habit”, reading and spelling taught simultaneously, hands on, multisensory methods, no glossy pictures”’ (Hi...
The story I chose for this analysis is “Why, you reckon?” by Langston Hughes. IN this analysis I will be focusing on how the great depression in Harlem had effect on the story, how racism played a part, and how or if the characters were justifyied in their actions. During this time period the intense racial divide combined with the economic harships that plagued the U.S. during the 1923’s makes for an interesting story that makes you think if the charaters were really justified.

Culture Centers in Higher Education: Perspectives on Identity, Theory, and Practice is a powerful and enlightening book by Lori D. Patton. Patton is a higher education scholar who focuses on issues of race theories, African American experiences on college campuses, student development theories, campus environments, inclusion, and multicultural resources centers at higher education institutions. She has a variety of publications and was one of the first doctoral students to complete a dissertation that focused exclusively on Black culture centers entitled, “From Protest to Progress: An Examination of the Relevance, Relationships and Roles of Black Culture Centers.” In Campus Culture Centers in Higher Education Patton collaborates with many higher education scholars and faculty members to discuss various types of racial and ethnic culture centers in higher education, their overall effectiveness, relevance, and implications for improvement in relation to student retention and success. Diversity, inclusion and social justice have become prevalent issues on all college campuses, and this piece of literature gives a basic introduction for individuals unfamiliar with cultural resource centers. This book successfully highlights contributions of culture centers and suggestions for how centers can be reevaluated and structured more efficiently. For many faculty, administrators, and student affairs professionals unfamiliar with the missions and goals of culture centers, Patton’s text provides a concrete introduction and outline for the functionality of these resources and also offers recommendations and improvements for administrators managing multicultural centers.
The Criminal Justice System is made up of several different process law enforcement, judiciary, and corrections this system is where the accused individual are tried and punished for the crime they are charged with. The depiction of criminal justice system in throughout each process (police, courts, and correctional) has become ubiquitous on television today. Shows that give a visual of the arresting and investigation process (law enforcement) are the televisions shows “Cops” and “The First 48 Hours”. The show “Cops” is a television series that follows police officers, constables and sheriff deputies around during their patrol and other policing activity (Cops, n.d). Showing the officer enforcing the laws of the land, apprehend offenders, reducing and prevent crimes, maintain public order, provide emergency and related community services and more” (Schmalleger F., 2014). The “Cops” show conveys the initial stage of the law enforcement. The images or positive (in my opinion) when it comes to showing the actual community services the law enforcers provide. This allow police to become more integrated in to the communities. Reducing the amount of fear toward the particular criminal justice profession. It has change the outlook on policing in the communities and enhances the level of trust from the communities for law enforcement. This allows for a sufficient reduction and prevent crimes when law enforcement and the people of the community come together. “The First 48 Hour” is a show that shows the criminal justice process from the crime, arrest, to the investigation stages in the criminal justice process. This show follows detectives around from the state of their investigation (right after a crime occurs...

Through conducting Connor’s Running record, I learned that he is developing well as a begging reader. I assessed him using a book The Wheels on the Bus that was above his grade level, and the book was considered an instructional level for him based on his 90% accuracy. He is a kindergartener, meaning that he has had little experience reading and has room for improvement, however he is developing into a successful reader. Connor still needs to improve his comprehension due to the fact that he rarely used meaning or structural clues to help decode unknown words. I also learned that Connor is very successful in regards to identifying sight words. Every time that he read a sight word, he seemed confident and enjoyed coming across a word that he knew. Repetition throughout a text is something that works well for Connor’s reading ability, because he is also good at recognizing words that he has already read. Connor is developing fairly quickly for a kindergartener and the Running Record allowed me to assess his strengths and weaknesses to guide further instruction for his continued reading development.
Sophocles wrote the classic tragedy Antigone in 496-406 BC this play dramatizes the conflict between self-morality versus human law by representing each conflict by two characters; Antigone and Creon. In this play Antigone decides to bury her brother Polyneices regardless of the king Creon’s decree. After Antigone is caught Creon decides that the punishment of death will be enforced. This sets of a chain reaction of conflicts between Antigone and Creon, both filled with pride and will. The chorus states that the gods vigorously punish the proud, yet punishment brings wisdom. ( )
Since the student is a transitional reader, but also an adult who did fairly well on the sight word assessment, I selected a text from a children’s (ages 3 to 12) magazine. In preparation for the story sequence, I reviewed the text for possible unknown vocabulary or visually difficult words. I selected the words “record” (Spanish-grabar) and “headache” (Spanish-dolor de la cabeza). I chose the word “record” because the technology of recording to cassette tapes is out of date and might be unfamiliar to her. Additionally, “record” can be a noun or verb and each is pronounced differently. Then I selected the word “headache” due to the unusual spelling.
If you had that one piece of the puzzle that would have prevented the bombings of the twin towers in New York and the Pentagon on September 11 2001 would you know it? If you saw someone do something weird or suspicious before the attack on September 11 2001, would you have called the police? If someone had walked into a United States Embassy in a foreign country and said that they know someone was going to use a plane to destroy New York in two days, could this have stopped the attack? Intelligence Analysis puts the raw sources of information together, make predictions based on the data, and finally publish the results.
Learning to read is a complex way of training the brain to understand connections of symbols and meanings to develop a natural way of obtaining information. Phonological awareness is an umbrella term representing phonemic awareness, decoding, comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary. People who are deaf or hard of hearing are missing an important sense used when learning to read. For example, grapheme-phoneme correspondence is a huge factor when learning to read which correlates with print-sound mapping. Without access to the sounds of letters, the majority of Deaf readers are at a third or fourth grade reading level (Nielsen, D. C., & Luetke-Stahlman, B., 2002).
Domestic violence, the connotation of the two words immediately invokes images in everyone's mind. Two songs will be discussed in this paper, these songs relate directly to the issue. The first song is “A Child Called ‘it’” by Buckcherry, released in 2008 on the Black Butterfly album. The second song is “Im ok” by Christina Aguilera, released in 2002 on the Stripped album. Buckcherry’s song, is based on a true story of a child that was abused by his mother. Similarly, Christina Aguilera’s song talks about her women who is being abused, you can tell this from the beginning of the song when she sings, “my father's fist would put her in her place.” Both of these songs directly talk about domestic violence and
