Today the pre-k kids came in, and they looked so excited to be with us again. My group was in charge of leading the movement activity. Our story was about a cat named Garfield who could walk on his hind legs. My part of the story was Garfield wanted to go onto walk to the forest. I started off saying Garfield stood up, and then I waited for every kid to stand up. Then I said then Garfield jumped out of bed and I jumped as well and I saw the kids mimic me by jumping as well. I said then Garfield went down the road toward the forest. I had them follow the red line as a road to follow. While we were walking I said stop, and I said Garfield could not wait to get to the forest so he started to gallop. then I started to gallop the kids started to …show more content…
The theory states “Performers can copy from a role model.” I could not help but notice that these kids like to mimic because they look up to us. If we demonstrate movements, they will copy us. When I was teaching the class I had the kids do a couple of movements. In the part of the story I said Garfield had to jump out of the bed and I jumped and a few seconds later they jumped as well. In the part of the story when Garfield started to gallop most of them began to mimic me to and gallop as well. The last thing I recognized in the story was when I put the pretend shoes on. I quickly looked down the line to see who was mimicking my movements. When I was teaching I learned that this theory plays a huge role with these pre-k kids because the theory also states “Performers learns through demonstrations.” (Bandura, …show more content…

Which is something I am big in, but today I was so nervous about speaking in front of everybody I was sort of tense. I now know what to expect, and I am looking forward to teaching these kids again. I am confident that I will be more comfortable speaking in front of everybody when I teach the kids again. The other thing I will that I will use is I was always a student that learned through observation and visual aids. That is also how I would like to teach as well because if I demonstrate, students will learn from
of instructions. The mandatory school uniform-code would be the best instruction manual entry available; and to prove this point I'll explore the instruction manual first and continue with presenting facts about school uniforms and their positive effects on parents and children and schools. Let's take a closer look at a possible entry in the instruction manual for parents: "School Clothes, What's Acceptable And What's Not." First the entry would tell us how the exchange should go with your child:
Meena Alexander through her diasporic writings and experiences exemplifies that diaspora, displacement or dislocation essentially stems from a sense of loss of identity, an intrinsic need to find one’s ‘self’, one’s roots in a land that is basically alien but where one needs to establish oneself and treat as one’s own. The discussed introductory chapter briefly introspects the diaspora and the diasporic experiences of the people in the diaspora, their reaction to its changing meanings, and the
