Initial Observations I approached the beaten path as I made my way I noted all of the different stones. They all appeared to be sort of pushed to the side to make way for some travelers. After approximately twenty-five more yards of walking and making my way past all the trees, the realization had struck me where they were going. Perfectly placed in the center of this oval yard was a medium sized superstructure. Underneath the superstructure were two very rundown tables, rust had completely consumed their legs. The table tops appeared to be made from a different material, unlike the legs the top had not been even scathed by rust. Instead, it appeared the people before decided to write several different things. Surprisingly, the device they …show more content…
Worn benches had also been placed between the lines dividing the rectangle down the center. Each side had the same structure on either end. They had a faded white board that had been smartly placed against the metallic pole. Attached to that board jutting out was a rusted, circular shaped object. Every last one of the nuts and bolts holding this moon shaped piece of metal were also consumed by rust and decay. The rope material dangling from below it, also had been frayed, time had taken its long hard toll on this equipment. Off in the distance I could see something that appeared to have been smashed by something large. The rubbery substance that made up the texture actually felt more delicate after grasping it. I took my hand and squeezed on either side of it I could hear the slightest amount of air escaping the small black pin hole. The circular shape of this object and that of the other attached to the white board appeared to coincide with each other. The object of this possible sport seemed to be putting that object through the rusted circular counterpart. The sheer size of the green hardtop surface made me wonder how many people could play at one time. The lines on either side of the court must have been a point system based on the difficulty of the shot. My other fast deduction was that the people who played here did not bother to care for the area. Trash was scattered even more so than superstructure with the
Zoe is a very great attentive student. She is a student whoholds a lot of valuable pronciples from her Haitian-Cuabn culture. The monment she enters the building she greets people with respect. She always says good morning and refers to all staff and her peers by their name. Zoe always comes to school in a positive attitude. I have yet to see her upset which allows me to believe she is good in toning her emotions or personal life outside of school grounds. Outside of school she is always busy between homework, family and tutoring at the SCO Family Services program in Downtown, Brooklyn. By the end of her long day she is exhausted but yet a smile is always on her face giving no sinces of anger or worries.if I was to describe Zoe’s emotional tone or color it would be lavender. She is calm, soothing to me around but ye keps firm.she had a bright future a head of her. Between the classes I have observed her in she is always energetic, cheerful and strong minded. She is excited in theatre class showing off her acting skills and in Spanish class she is attentive when doing her Spanish class work.
Waste and blood streamed along the floorboards, covering my toes…Piled like fish in a bucket, the men were stacked on three levels—one just above my feet, another by my waist and a third level by my neck…The men couldn’t stand unless they stooped—chained in pairs—in the narrow corridor where I walked. On their rough planks, they had no room to sit. Some were lying on their backs, others on their stomachs. They were manacled at the ankles, in pairs, the left ankle of one to the right ankle of the other. And through loops in these irons ran chains long enough for a man—with the consent of his partner—to move only a few feet, toward the occasional cone-shaped bucket meant for collecting waste” (Hill

Life is colorful and adventurous, especially if you belong to the military life style. Belonging to the military community for nearly two decades has given me a different outlook on each place we end up. Outdoor enthusiasts, like most military families are, make Colorado Springs a desirable duty stationed. The perfect location Colorado Springs has. The weather offers many clear, beautiful days, allowing Colorado Springs to be a playground to enjoy most of the year round. Many points of interest and vacation sights that can be done in or around Colorado Springs make it a favorite in the military community.
I stumbled onto the porch and hear the decrepit wooden planks creak beneath my feet. The cabin had aged and had succumb to the power of the prime mover in its neglected state. Kudzu vines ran along the structure, strangling the the cedar pillars that held the roof above the porch. One side of the debacle had been defeated by the ensnarement and slouched toward the earth. However, the somber structure survives in spite. It contests sanguine in the grip of the strangling savage. But the master shall prevail and the slave will fall. It will one day be devoured and its remains, buried by its master, never to be unearthed, misinterpreted as a ridge rather than a

1) To possess a sociological imagination means the ability to understand the interaction between biography and history, or the interplay of self and the world. My favorite food has to be broccoli. In order for broccoli to had been brought to the United States events had to have happened first. The Industrial Revolution led people to switch from making goods by hand to manufacturing goods, farmers were experimenting with new types of vegetables (broccoli). This historical event is the reason as to why now our current state of farming contains the planting of many different types of vegetables, and the accessibility of food engineering we now have today. Monsanto is an institution that has to function in order for vegetables to be available. Monsanto delivers agricultural products that support farmers all around the world. The meaning this
My experience at Oak Park Elementary was an experience I will not forget. Oak Park is a school that has a great amount of diversity within their system. While there was a vast measure of diversity there was some similarities within the student body. Majority of the student body is the same race, with a few other that are a different ethnicity. I was in the library for my observation hours and at the beginning of my time I was first disappointed I was not assigned to a class room, but I was very grateful for my opportunity in the library. The teacher I observed was a lady that had a beautiful heart for children and passionate about her subject she taught. The students I observed ranged from various backgrounds. I attended to Mrs. Lee who is
The event that I attended for the interpreter observation requirement was an event that occurred in the classroom and took place in order to provide interpretation for a guest speaker, Richard McGann, who was Deaf and blind. The event was held at the University of Pittsburgh during the Intro to Interpreting American Sign Language-English class taught by Jessica Adams on Tuesday, November 10th at 5:30PM and the interpreted lecture took place in a typical classroom located on the third floor of the Cathedral of Learning. The classroom used for the guest lecture was the same room that the class meets at regularly, so there had been no special modifications made in order to accommodate the
“The cabin’s plank walls were supplemented with sheets of corrugated iron, its roof shingled with tin cans hammered flat, so only its general shape suggested its original design: square, with four tiny rooms opening onto a shotgun hall, the
For the location of my naturalistic observational study I chose a public park with a splash pad which I frequently visit with my daughter. Since this site is quite popular with locals at any given time of the day there are at least over a dozen people present. As the park is designed for the entertainment of children the age group of the people varies. There are young children accompanied by their parents and grandparents as well as teenagers in groups. Therefore the above discussed park proved to be the greatest preference for me to observe the behavior of people in a natural setting.
On September 9th, 2017 at approximately 7 p.m., I went to Gracedale Public Park to carefully conduct my observation on the individuals, who were at the park and their specific activities in the one hour of time. When I got there, the weather was beautiful with soft winds, a clear sky and with some dim sunlight. The park was full of people of all ages. Though, there were more kids than adults and some teenagers. There were many bicycles and strollers parked beside the tree I sat under. After a couple of minutes, the park filled up with more and more individuals and everyone seemed busy doing their own actions.
Easton’s gross motor skill abilities have advanced this semester. He has demonstrated the ability to catch a bean bag with his hands. During Dinosaur week, Easton played a game called “Catch the Dinosaur Egg.” The dinosaur eggs were represented by bean bags. Each child had a partner and they both practiced tossing the bean bags back and forth. Easton enjoys bean bag tosses so much. During Spring week, he played another bean bag toss game, except the bean bags represented butterflies. The children had to make the butterfly fly through the air. Easton had a great time playing this game as well. Being able to catch a bean bag is an example of good hand-eye coordination. Easton is showing signs of having excellent hand-eye coordination.

Thinking about normal social interactions and normal social behaviors, I think of comfortable. When I sit down with a friend, a usual routine is followed, “Hey, how are you, what’s new?” (e.g. My turn, your turn). These questions between my friend and I include eye contact, attention, and facial expression. Usually, I feel that I give my friend my undivided attention. Other normal characteristics include: remembering what the person has just said so a comment can be made, as well as each comment is appropriate and in relation to the current topic. Moreover, the duration between each question or comment is short.
The teacher that I observed was Mrs. Cynthia Carney. She is the kindergarten teacher at Greystone Elementary school. As my first time in the classroom, I tried to observe as much as possible. I had a great first impression of the classroom, it is a very positive environment, and the teacher has definitely established a clear routine and rules that the students follow. The teacher did a very brief (5-10 minute) science lesson/introduction to the unit on weather. Although the teacher did not inform my partner and I about the exact objectives for the lesson, it was clear that she wanted the students to learn about making observations about weather. Her objective
