The class is not as bad as I thought it would be it has been really smooth. I don’t know if the prompts of the exercise are very relatable, but writing poems is easy for me now compare to previous class. The poems that were used in the portfolio all came from the exercise that we had to do for class. The reason for that was some of the poems I wrote in the exercises I liked a lot, and wanted to improve them and maybe, one day, publish them.
The first portfolio poem titled “UKiss” came from exercise poem number 6. For the exercise, we had to pick a prompt from the book The Companion Poet’s. The assignment was called stop making sense, and the prompt that I picked was to make a collage of word. We were supposed to collect words and sentences from everything that we read every day; this can include newspaper, magazines, etc. once we have the words and sentences we then take them and compose them into a poem. As I thought of what to write the poem about, I came across this article in the New York Times that was telling a love story of a man who is in prison and a woman who fall in lov...
This reflective essay will lay emphasis on one of the learning needs I have developed during my two week taster placement in hospital. Reflection helps an individual build upon their skills and makes room for self-criticism as he or she can contemplate upon actions and make relevant changes (Taylor, 2000). I will be applying the “What”, “So what” and “Now what” model of reflection by Driscoll (2000) in this piece of work because it is a more coherent and comprehensible approach to follow when writing a reflective account and is also an easier guide to writing reflections. The learning need I chose to reflect on from my learning plan is having a better understanding of diabetes and the 6 basic medications used in treating the condition since it is a common illness on the ward I am have been allocated on for my first placement. The timescale set for achieving this objective was by the end of my two week placement that is from 27th January to 9th February and I achieved it with the help of a host of factors. In this assignment, all the names of the patients and wards have been omitted and indicated with letters and numbers for confidentiality reasons as stated in the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) code of conduct (2008). The paper will primarily touch on the type 2 diabetes and furthermore on the achievement on my learning need.
My sixteen week class in English 111. I was really nervous about this class. Because English has never been my strong point. This class has hard, but fun all at the same time. I learn a lot from this class. Meanwhile,the first day of class you handed a paper with a question on it. “The first thing I want to say to you who are students is that you must not think of being here to receive an education; instead, you will do much better to think of being here to claim one.” Even though putting my all in what I have learned, claiming my education with hard work because using the skills of the meal plan, as we write to different audiences and learning to be a Critically thinker as I start becoming a critically-Literate Citizenship.
During the early years, children go through crucial development stages, and continuous, quality early childhood education can have a lasting, valuable effect on the overall development of children. High-quality early childhood development programs that offer developmentally adequate curricula, allow children to formulate specified cognitive skills at the suitable age. Developmentally adequate curricula assist in the development of cognitive skills which help them acquire new skills and knowledge. Preschool provides children the opportunities to take part in activities they wouldn’t typically do at home such as arts and crafts, science activities, sand and water play and music and movement. These activities can enhance children's’ lives, increase their development and supply them with the tools they need for the future.
Through this semester, I have learned a lot of writing skills and techniques. The learning process of this course is not smooth, there are many difficulties and issues I have meet during this semester. However, in the meantime I also revived many benefits from this course. I think the skills and techniques I learned from this course not only make me able to pass this class, but also is valued for my future academic journey.
I would like to start this paper by saying what a great piece of literature it is. When I started reading this book, I finished it in one day for the simple fact that I could not put it down. This book gave me a whole new view of life and how sacred it is. It also taught me how to not live my life in fear of dying, but embrace death while living. Of the many lessons, the one that reached out a grabbed my mind along with my heart was the lesson on emotion. In this paper, my goal is to reflect this lesson of Professor Morrie Schwartz to all who read my work. I will do this by first stating the main points given by a dying man on emotions and how we should absorb them every day and continue with my own personal experience of his words.
At the beginning of the semester my outlook on this course was not so good. I was not looking forward to giving speeches or learning things that seemed like common sense, but as time went on I could tell that I was actually taking things away from it. I have learned that I am not so good at coming up with things to say under pressure and I get extremely nervous when I have to talk in front of people that I don’t know well. Oh wait, I already knew those things. This class has motivated me to strengthen my social skills and has also taught me how to effectively work in a team environment through the team communication consultant project. I will show this by analyzing my teams strategic plan, the cohesiveness of the team, and the productivity of the team.
When reflecting on the past semester of English 2328, there are several lessons I feel I have learned which have contributed to the development of my intellect. Throughout this semester, I have repeatedly encountered various lessons that I feel have the potential to advance academically, personally and professionally. I attribute the lessons I have learned to the nature of the assignments and the method of teaching used in this class. To clarify, I feel that I have broadened my knowledge, learned the importance of my personal responsibilities, and learned to interpret differing opinions. Combined, I have recognized that this class has helped me grow, not only as a student, but as an individual as well.

In professional fields that are always changing due to the surrounding of the career and the participants, incorporating reflective practice is a great way to engage in the process continuous learning. Reflective practice is a great source of personal improvement and development for one to enhance one’s profession. This form of practice is a great way to reflect back on one’s abilities, actions, and experiences that have accord during one’s professional career. For education, the reflective practice is geared more toward the educator’s teaching methods and what can be learned and use to fit the student’s needs.

As a second language learner, English is the one of the most difficult subject for me to learn. As a young girl, I was taught the phonics and the alphabet. As each year passed, I learned to put those letters together to make words, sentences, and finally paragraphs into essays. My English increases every year, and each year my English grows without understanding. When I arrived in English 908, my whole new perspective changed. I realized there is more to writing than just putting words on the paper. I have accomplished a variety of goals I once thought were unattainable. This English 908 class has really allowed me to expand my essay structure and the ways of thinking in writing.
Throughout the semester, the goal was to form an opinion on what it means to be human. In our first writing assignment on the first day of class, we were asked what it means to be human, and I wrote, “The desire to better ourselves is what makes us human.” The development of my writing style throughout the semester was a reflection of my desire to better myself through education.
In layer one she suggests that teachers “choose poems to read that are immediately accessible, non-threating, and relevant to students’ lives- encourage reading projects that will invite all students into the world of poetry.” (Heard, 2016) The first layer will give me a chance to get their feet wet by providing students with an enjoyable poetry experience that they can be successful with. For this layer I would like to implement the Living Anthology Project by having students collecting their favorite poems and finding an appropriate place to post it within the school building. Once I feel that the students are ready, we will continue to layer two of Georgia Heard’s
This lesson is designed to review and reinforce a few important concepts about plants (e.g. Needs, parts, sequence of planting) and to also guide the students through applying a few scientific inquiry (e.g. Making observations, experimentation, discussion, reflection, reporting results etc.). The students have previously planted corn and bean seeds and today’s lesson has provided the students a chance to see the results of the planted corn and bean seeds. Additionally, seeds have been planted under and growing under the following conditions: without water, and without soil. The students see the results of these seeds planted under these conditions for the past week. Two plants in particular have already been grown their growth has been
