between remedial and compensatory supports based on the individual needs of the student. General Overview / Who Will Benefit Word prediction programs were originally developed to reduce typing for individuals with physical disabilities (MacArthur, 1998). Word prediction can help students during word processing by predicting a word the student intends to use. Predictions are based on spelling, syntax, and frequent or recent use of a word. This type of compensatory support prompts students who struggle
How a classroom is structured can affect a child’s learning. As Canada tested homogenous and mixed approaches over the years, a mixed approach would be have the most positive outlook. A mixed classroom approach is a structure that involves putting children from different social classes and intelligence levels into one classroom. The mixed approach is preferred because it gives all students an equal opportunity that may or may not push them to make an attempt in school (Lee 2013). As many different
Loving Love Although I may be very young, I have been through a lot of heart ache. I have been abused, beaten, left, and even heart broken. I know this may seem like a lot, however, it’s just a part of my life. Every time I hear a certain songs that have to do with love I begin to think of how they apply to me. I like to listen to slow songs because they help me process everything that is going on around me. A lot of people would say this is bad to do, however, I think that this helps me relax and
In Act III, scene 1 of his opera Wozzeck, Alban Berg employs his take on a theme and variations. When one hears that a piece of music is classified as an “invention on a theme,” they immediately associate the style with early composers from the Baroque era, a time when classical conventions truly started to take their form. By employing methods of long term tonicization, bending the classical expectations of form and harmony, and accentuating Marie’s sense of wandering conscious and morality, Berg
If I had it my way, I would tone down the zero tolerance act. It just punishes too harshly for some things. I think that it needs to distinguish the difference between minor problems, like playing with a toy gun, and major problems, like having drugs. Zero Tolerance The zero tolerance policies call for students to receive automatic suspensions or expulsions as punishment for certain offenses, primarily those involving weapons, threats, or drugs. I agree that safety is an important concern
Density 21.5 Edgard Varèse’s Density 21.5 for unaccompanied flute was composed in 1936 (revised in 1944) at the request of George Barrère for the première of his new platinum flute.Inspired by the flute’s capabilities, Varèse sought to showcase the platinum instrument’s full range of sound and explore its timbral capacity. Density is a monophonic work that is characterized by extreme dynamics, angular motives, timbral variety, and complex rhythms. During the span of sixty-one measures, Varèse exploits
Schoenberg searched for "unity and regularity" in music, which was to be achieved without the procedures of tonality, for Schoenberg felt tonality had run its course. For fifteen years, he followed a path that led to his "discovery" of the "method of composing with twelve tones which are related only with one another." Schoenberg experimented with the serialization of smaller groups of notes before applying the idea to all twelve. Schoenberg's first compositions in the new, twelve-tone idiom were
Question: Research the current state of earthquake prediction. Have we made any progress in recent years? Are other countries making progress? How far away are seismologists from being able to accurately predict earthquakes? Go beyond what was discussed in class. The Current State of Earthquake Prediction For my research project I have chosen the topic of earthquake prediction and the current state and accuracy at which this is possible. Earthquake prediction is a very tricky business in the first place
through a series of data presentation. Also to extend my work I will investigate other factors which may affect the population such as the quality of life of a country. And in turn how does the financial state of the country affect this? Predictions: a. The extremely rich countries will have a slightly smaller population as most people will be very career minded b. Some of the very poor third world countries will have a very high population but low life expectancy I will need the
approximately Normal. n The variance of the distribution of the sample mean is equal to the variance of the sample mean divided by the sample size. These are true whatever the distribution of the parent population. The Central Limit Theorem allows predictions to be made about the distribution of the sample mean without any knowledge of the distribution of the parent population, as long as the sample is large enough. For this reason, the sample size will be set at 50, which I consider large enough
solution. The potato chips have a higher concentration of sugar than the solution. Prediction: The potato chips will increase in mass. Reasoning: Since the potato chips have a higher concentration of sugar, water molecules from the solution will diffuse into the potato chips until they are both at the same concentration. The potato chips have a lower concentration of sugar than the solution. Prediction: The potato chips will decrease in mass. Reasoning: Since the potato chips have
this investigation is to test four materials (polystyrene, fibre glass, cotton wool and bubble wrap), to see which one acts as the best insulator. The temperature of the boiling water and the material inside and outside will be taken at regular intervals by a data logger and form this it will show the material that can insulate the best. So this chosen material can be further tested in the main practical by testing various thicknesses of the material, finding the optimum size at which the material
Protractor paper * Pen/ Pencil * Ruler [IMAGE] Diagram [IMAGE] Prediction My Prediction is that first of all the ray of light will travel in a straight le towards the normal inside the glass prism. Then on leaving it will refract away from the normal. The effect of this is that the emergent ray is parallel to the incident ray, but is "laterally displaced" from it. [IMAGE] Info for prediction We know the speed of light in air which is 300,000,000 m/p/s, so firstly
different concentrations of a solution affect the rate of osmosis in the potato. What Is Osmosis? Before actually planning the experiment, I will do some research to find out about osmosis, and matters related to it, so that I can make predictions and work out a way to make this investigation fair and safe. Planning ahead would assist me in finding out how to do what, when to do it etc. This should lead me to good results at the end of the experiment. Osmosis is the movement of water
could you improve your experiment? The experiment could be improved in a couple of ways, one being the amount in which the voltage was increased by. For example, the voltage would still range from 0V to 6V but instead of having 0.5V intervals you could have 0.25V. You could also do more repeat readings, so the average result was more exact. · How could you further your investigation? Different lamps with different voltage limits could be used. E.g.
of Temperature on Yeast Respiration PLAN Aim: To determine the effect of temperature upon respiration of Yeast. Prediction: I predict that the respiratory rate of the yeast will increase in speed as the temperature of the water increases. However, it may reach a peak, and slowly decline as the temperature increases further. My reason for the above prediction is that, anyone who has cooked, knows that yeast is supposed to respond in warm water, so I believe that the warmer the
Investigation into the Factor of Light and Dark Affecting Woodlice Predictions It was expected that a woodlice would prefer a damp, dark, but moderately warm surrounding. Normally one would expect to find slaters under logs or concrete slabs in one's garden. Under these large objects, the sun cannot reach directly; therefore it is darker, damper and colder than the surroundings. Nevertheless, in winter we do not see woodlice crawling around very often, and, also at night, it may actually
hopefully I will find out what happens when the voltage is changed. Planning ======== Things the voltage may effect when varied are: Current Heat Resistance I have decided to change the voltage and measure the current. Prediction ========== I predict that if I double the voltage, then the current will also double. I predict that the voltage will be proportional to current. The current is the flow of electrons. You can compare a wire to a water pipe. The flow of
also that the weight of the people was affected by the kind of sport they play. Aim: To investigate the most favorable sport practiced by males and by females between the age of 21 and 25 and the relation between the sport and weight. Prediction : Since football is the most popular game in Egypt, I predict that football game will be the most practiced sport among male youth of the age between 21 and 25. I also predict that aerobics will be the most practiced game by women in the
Investigating the Osmotic Values of Chinese Radish and Potato Cores Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high water potential (Ψ) to an area of low water potential through a selectively permeable membrane. The diagrams above shows that only the water molecules can move quickly through the pores in the selectively permeable membrane. The sugar molecules (glucose arde too big to move through the gaps withease. Since there is a higher water potential on the left-hand side more water molecules
