Canvas Reflection
I loved all the videos from the May 28th class. I found a bunch of strategies that would be great in my classroom! As funny as the “clap clap teach” and its response “clap clap okay” was, I loved it for the kinesthetic students in my classroom. Did you notice how no one talked after they did their little routine? I’m always on the lookout for classroom management strategies and I think this would be a great attention getter. There was a lot of student participation in the video and collaborative working. I feel like the lesson was more student led then teacher directed, and she did an amazing job setting it up so that it could work that way. What we saw was probably hours and hours in the making if not months and months of practice.
I’ve seen cheers used in the classroom, but only in the kindergarten and first grades. This was a 4th grade classroom doing firework and 10 finger cheers! I personally loved it--the cheers and the lesson. This not only uses TPR by acting out the words, but it also builds great class moral by having the students cheer for one another. It’s little things like this that make or break a classroom. Even if it was a little automated, I think it’s great that the teacher is teaching the kids to respect one another and applaud their efforts. This is something that is not in the common core state standards or the school curriculum but something extra that we should always be doing with our kids.
In the lesson delivery video that contained the four features, I was reminded that the content and language objectives must be supported by the lesson. A good model to follow is introducing them at the beginning of the lesson, making sure all activities are focused on these objectives and reviewing th...

I found the discussion in class on ODD or oppositional defiant disorder to be fascinating. I was trying not to laugh when you were explaining how you have to deal with such a student but I must admit I cringe when I consider I might have such a student in my future classroom. I don’t think I have seen this kind of behavior in my life so I researched it. According to the web, ODD is a pattern of angry and irritable behavior or vindictiveness lasting at least 6 months! I also found out that ODD is kind of like conduct disorder (CD) which is when children with oppositional defiant disorder are not aggressive towards anyone. Wow. Those were two things I have never heard of and will be on the lookout for. I wonder how prevalent this disorder is.
Thanks for reading,

Through many life experiences and knowledge around oppression/privilege, I have been able to reflect on how my own identities and ideas shape my reactions; along with my learning process when discussing class readings involving oppression/privilege. These class readings touching base on topics such as lookism, classism, and ableism. With reading and discussing these topics, I have been able to re-think old ideas and ways of working, address questions that have been generated from myself, realize
Before I read the chapter on social class, I thought social class was a category about people who are put into class by how much money they make; you are either poor or rich. However, there is much more regarding social class than I had originally thought. Social class it separated into a four tier criteria. Beginning at the bottom is the “lower class”, or “underclass” which is referred to by poverty, homeless, and unemployment. This class, usually hasn’t finished high school, doesn’t have medical
Are people born into the social class they are now and “stuck” there for the rest of their life or are they able to work hard and change in which social class they fall into? In America there is 3 social classes. Upper class, those who don’t really work but still have money, middle class, those who have jobs in offices, and the lower class, those who work for everything. But social classes aren’t always just defined by the amount of money they have but their morals as well. I believe that with enough
Before I read the chapter on social class, I as thought social class was a category that people are put into based on how much money they make; you are either poor or rich. However, there is much more regarding social class then I had originally thought. Social class it separated into a four tier criteria.

with unjust prejudicial treatment due to their social class and gender. Nevertheless, Margaret Atwood takes into account the second perspective of the prejudiced lower class by extracting the Chorus’s function of edifying the audience of the lower classes’s suffering. In order for the audience to gain a sense of compassion and respect for the sufferers, Atwood utilizes the traditional Greek Chorus to make her point that because the upper class selfishly values their reputation over helping the less
beginning of 7th grade English class I now realized of all the great things I have accomplished this year for English class. I am proud of how hard I worked this year and how my English has gotten better. I am proud to have been part of Ms D's English class and she is a phenomenal teacher. I think that one day I will be able to work as a English teacher like Ms D or I will become a journalist. Although I must say that when I first entered English class I had so many different thoughts
This class was not what I expected it to be. When thinking about an Ap class my first thought was lots of boring hard work, difficult material, and advanced testing. Instead, it was more working hard to expand individual abilities, getting more practice, and digging deeper into our skills. The atmosphere of the class was more laid back, free, and open than I had expected and I believe it paved the way for more improvement.I’ve done these self-reflections multiple time during my time in high school
When considering the sociology class, one can observe the impact that it has had on the students in the class, within privileged people and non-privileged people, and just how we can address this and aid in changing the system for the better. We must also consider our own perspective as a person and a learner in personal experience of schooling and how the schooling experience may have reflection on privilege and/or less privileged people. One can also detect who the disadvantaged and advantaged
Initial Reflection Math contributed substantially in terms of my academic success throughout the majority of elementary and middle school. Adding, subtracting and multiplying was definitely my forte. Although I was placed in advanced math classes in high school, I always understood math enough to do well in the advanced classes. Despite my success at math before high school, I always knew I was decent at writing and somewhat enjoyed it. While in high school, I learned to appreciate writing more
After I graduated high school I thought my writing was good enough until I took an English class this semester. I was quite surprised at how much my writing was lacking in sentence structure, use of citation, and some general grammar. In the past I was able to get decent grades on my writing assignments, but I guess that was because I was in high school and the standards weren’t that high. I didn’t put much effort in my past writing, my arguments weren’t fully expressed and I lacked a lot of technical
Personal reflection is when you ask yourself thought provoking questions so that you can develop a deeper level of understanding about yourself (Holdefer). Personal reflection isn’t always the easiest thing to do. You generally have to think about things before you can write about them. There really isn’t a right or wrong answer when it comes to personal reflection. When reflecting you need to consider why you are feeling a certain way or why you did something a certain way. We often just look at
CHAPTER EIGHT THE POWER OF REFLECTION AND STORY-TELLING This Chapter will help the reader to have a better idea of reflection, its techniques and how it provides the material for powerful story-telling in training, presenting or speaking situations. Introduction “Burned inside every Mentor’s past are nuggets of wisdom, knowledge and understanding... if they remain buried, they are of no use to you as a Mentor or to your Mentee. The reasonable thing to do is to take them out; and the extractive
As a nurse, reflection is a vital part of our learning (NMC, 2015). Reflection teaches people to look back on events and helps to separate the good from the bad. This, in turn, enables us to better ourselves and future practice as health care practitioners. Gibbs reflective cycle uses six stages, description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion and finally action planning. This theory provides a useful insight into reflection and how to use it effectively to gain the most from our experiences
the assignment, I learned why it is important to have a classroom management plan. 2. Reflect and discuss how the content in Module 2 prepared you to demonstrate mastery on the assignment in Module 2. The assignment for module 2 was to write a reflection over the content provided by the module. There were two articles that I had to read. However, the articles focused on one main point: classroom management. While I was reading the articles provided by module 2, I highlighted the main points and
of the reflection in practice. Many educational professionals have suggested definitions of ‘reflection’. Moon (1999) and Bolton (2010) concur that reflection is completed for a purpose, in order to achieve an intended outcome, as well as helping to develop an understanding of complex ideas and emotion by questioning how, why and what. Rolfe (2014) indicates that the disappointment of the success of reflective practice is not as a result of ideas discovered, but the way it which reflection has been
