Today Vinny and I were looking through his portfolio and he asked me to read out the story about when he took the photos of the ‘Thomas the Tank Engine’ book. The “what next?” for this story was to email Tilly I asked Vinny if he wanted to email Tilly today, and he thought that was a great idea. I asked Vinny what he wanted to say to Tilly and he told me that he wanted to take some photos and send them to her. So Vinny took some photos then we downloaded them and Vinny selected which photos he wanted to send to Tilly. We did all this on the laptop and then went into the office and transferred it to the iMac, inserted the document into an email and then sent the email to Tilly.

This strategy refers to a ‘what next’ or offering advice, suggestions, recommendations or ideas (MacNaughton & Williams, 2008). The teacher has extended on from what the child was reading to giving the child a suggestion of emailing a friend. Emailing the child’s friend was a recommendation towards carrying on from the learning story. When teachers use suggestions they’re offering choices, within this story the teacher asks the child what he wanted to email to his friend. There could have been a variety of options here, the child choose to send photos. There is evidence shown which suggests that children are more likely to become engaged and co-operative when offered choices (MacNaughton & Williams,

    Matthew L. Sanders discusses the necessity of taking responsibility for one’s own education in a section of his book Becoming a Learner: Realizing the Opportunity of Education. In this section, Sanders explains how he initially blamed an instructor for not teaching him sufficiently and then learned that “No matter what kind of teacher you have, no matter what kind of class you are taking, if you are a learner you will set out to understand the material and create opportunities for success.” This statement is true and the concept can be applied through many methods to create success for students if they are willing to put forth effort.

  • The Lesson Short Story Analysis

    523 Words  | 2 Pages

    “The Lesson” a short story from Gorilla My Love by Toni Cade Bambara is about a woman, Miss Moore, who wants the best for the children who lives in the inter-city slums of Harlem. Miss Moore took them on a field trip to a toy story that has the luxuries that they do not see often. The children think she is a mean, proper lady, but she is not that at all, she just wants to help them. The author expresses social inequality in this story. “The lesson she wants to impart is the economic inequality that exists in the United States, and for the most part, she succeeds admirably in her goal” (Korb). All of the children experienced the field trip, but Sylvia was affected the most. Miss Moore is more than a character, she is a significant symbol in this short story.

    The experience of teaching ELL students was very enlightening to me. At the time I was expected to teach this lesson, students were in the middle of their social studies unit of responsibility. They learned about various types of responsibilities, and one of them was responsibility to the environment. The actual lesson I was supposed to teach focused on the importance of making choices that would have a positive impact on students’ close environment. I was also to talk about environmental problems in the students’ neighborhood, and encourage them to devise some solutions to those problems.

  • A Single Story Analysis

    1049 Words  | 3 Pages

    The purpose of the speech provided by Chimamanda Adichie is to portray the various impacts a single story can have on both an individual and a society. This is because of the usage of stereotypes provided by the media which creates an overall image, that everyone believes to be true. This is prominent when she says “A single story creates stereotypes, and the problem with stereotypes is not that they are untrue, but that they are incomplete.” Having a single story also confines the world to generalized outlooks on cultures, religions and nationalities. Due to this, individuals must seek for diversity and different perspectives, in which everyone should be able to see the world as it is, not just the aspect that the media portrays. Through

  • Learning and Behavior: Scenario Analysis

    2363 Words  | 5 Pages

    Learning and behaviorism are two topics that are still studied in contemporary psychology. Experience is a key element in learning, which is believed to bring about change in a behavior. It is important to note that the changes in behavior, however, do not signify that learning was the cause. The two widely recognized types of learning are classical conditioning and operant conditioning. Russian psychologist Ivan Pavlov is mostly commonly associated with classical conditioning. Association is key in classical conditioning. On the other hand, operant conditioning is learning that is mostly associated with two particular aspects: a response and a consequence. Learning through classical conditioning and operant conditioning are topics whose methods are still practiced today by many. An example of operant conditioning and classical conditioning is demonstrated in the essay scenario. According to the scenario, Sally, the mother of 13-year-old Gertrude, has observed the behaviors of her daughter and have deemed them undesirable. Gertrude’s actions are behaviors because they can easily be observed and/or measured. Respondent behavior and operant behavior is clearly observed in the scenario.

They said to start packing in the mornings since we were leaving the next day and to pack hot weather clothes. I didn't literally know how to react, either we were leaving to a lifeless ancient place, or to a beautiful destination.

    Methods like experiments, field trips or role play are rarely used. Because of that, labs and tutorials are more essential for these learners. Among the methods that can help these learners are by trying to use all the senses in the learning process because the more senses you use the higher recall will be, as you have many clues. In addition, make notes with several examples for each concept and use your own examples, the more personal examples you create, the better you remember. A very important thing to note is that this questionnaire is not designed to predict the ability of someone to make the diagnosis.

  • Education for Sustainable Development

    1785 Words  | 4 Pages

    Sustainability development has three components: environment, society, and economy. If you consider the three to be overlapping circles of the same size, the area of overlap in the center is human well-being. As the environment, society, and economy become more aligned, the area of overlap increases, and so does human well-being. Therefore, education for sustainable development (ESD) is the use of education as a tool to achieve sustainability. Simply put, ESD is a way to make the world a safer, healthier, and more livable place for us and future generations (McKeown, 2002, pgs 7-9).
