Summary Of Homework By Jill Carroll

While salary is a contributing factor to poor retention, administrators must investigate measures to adequately support their teachers. Greiner et al. (2005) created a five step plan to increase teacher retention. Their plan included designing collaborative training programs, developing flexible scheduling, strengthening relationships between experienced teachers, and developing partnerships between schools and local school districts.

In E. Shelly Reid's book Ten Ways to Think About Writing she expresses the thought we have all had; writing is hard. It's hard to follow the rules and still be passionate about what you are writing. These rules turn writing to a chior instead of an expressive art form. Reid suggests that we rid ourselves of the rules and focus on three key principals instead, write about what interests you, show don't tell and adapted to the audience. It is this consideration of both the author and the audience that defines rhetoric writing. Reid uses several examples to back up her key principles, but in the end it all comes down to the writer. The author has the power to replace the rule with an idea and pick which ones to use and chose which ones

Everyone should go to college: many people grew up hearing and believing that this was true. President Obama even calls high education “an economic imperative.” Two women authors, Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill, wrote “If they [Americans] choose wisely and attend a school with generous financial aid and high expected earnings, and if they don’t just enroll, but graduate, they can greatly improve their lifetime prospects,” published in 2013 in the article, Should Everyone Go to College? Owen and Sawhill begin building their credibility with numerous amounts of statistics, educating their readers with variations in the return to education, and by utilizing visual aids to allow their audience to better understand such information. By doing

The Holocaust was the systematic and bureaucratic murder of six million Jews by the Nazi party and its collaborators. During the era of the Holocaust, German authorities targeted many groups of people because of their perceived "racial inferiority" including Gypsies, the disabled, and some of the Slavic peoples. Other groups were persecuted on political, ideological, and behavioral grounds. Several authors have written about the Holocaust, but one author that touched many people the most was Elie Wiesel. Through the use of several style devices, Wiesel creates an impressionistic style which reflects the nature of his experiences in the Nazi

The poem “The Mother” written by Gwendolyn Brooks in 1945, is a poem that focuses on the immeasurable losses a woman experiences after having an abortion. The poems free verse style has a mournful tone that captures the vast emotions a mother goes through trying to cope with the choices she has made. The author writes each stanza of the poem using a different style, and point of view, with subtle metaphors to express the speaker’s deep struggle as she copes with her abortions. The poem begins with, “Abortions will not let you forget” (Brooks 1), the first line of the poem uses personification to capture your attention. The title of the poem has the reader’s mindset centered around motherhood, but the author’s expertise with the opening line, immediately shifts your view to the actual theme of the poem. In this first line the speaker is telling you directly, you will never forget having an abortion. Brooks utilizes the speaker of the poem, to convey that this mother is pleading for forgiveness from the children she chose not to have.

Volunteer your hours that you have nothing to do. We should try to cooperate with others no matter the situation. Our actions have an tremendous impact on each other. Violent actions play a great role in preventing students from going blue. We should encourage each other to be

Miss Rosa describes her niece, Judith Sutpen, as "a woman more strange to me than to any grief for being so less its partner" (120). Judith is a woman well-acquainted with suffering, losing first her mother, then her fiancé at the hand of her brother, and finally her father. She watches her family 's wealth disintegrate as a result of the heavy toll exacted by the Civil War, and eventually becomes accustomed to tending her own garden, spinning her own thread, and weaving her own cloth as the poor would do (125), since the Reconstruction Era showed no discrimination in turning both wealthy and impoverished Southerners into "the poor." Once her childhood has come to a close and the era of desolation has set in, during which she is forced to cope with hardship after hardship, Faulkner begins to consistently portray her as wearing a worn, discolored homemade dress of calico or gingham (plain-woven cotton fabrics). In one sense this represents the poverty that is laying waste to the South and the Sutpen family, but on a deeper level the dress comes to symbolize the deprivation and sorrow which Judith has endured, and specifically her inability or perhaps refusal to emote in response to these tragedies.

Tenure was instituted as a means to protect teachers from capricious firings without just cause. Tenure proponents point out that job security is one of a few benefits a teacher can count on and that the practice is important for recruitment and retention in a field where turnover is high. In a profession where salary is still largely determined by years on the job, tenure is defended as protecting more veteran teachers from losing their jobs to lower-paid, novice teachers, discussed Jacobs, S. (2016).

But for those who are, they should be reevaluated to see if they’re really worthy of having all those benefits. If not, those teachers should have some kind of actions taken towards them, whether it be less benefits, maybe risk losing their job, and just something that will make them realize that they have a job to do as teachers and that’s to teach. I understand it’s also up to the students to be motivated to learn, but how can they learn if the teacher is not properly teaching them and doesn’t care for their students success or helping them gain the knowledge and skills that they need. Having tenured teachers that aren’t motivated to teach and don’t care for their students, results to having a negative impact on those students. Which makes those students not fully prepared for their future classes. It’s just a negative impact all around because only the teacher benefits and no one

However, before we look at what teacher expectancy effect really is, it is crucial for us to

Analysis of “My Stroke of Insight” The TED talk “My Stroke of Insight” given by a neuroanatomist, Jill Bolte Taylor, is about the brain and how humans have different perceptions because of their left and right hemispheres. People who tend to think with their right hemisphere, are “energy-beings connected to one another through the consciousness of our right hemispheres as one human family.” People who think with their left hemisphere are responsible for thinking of themselves as single individuals “I am.” In this talk, she asks us an important question, “which side do you choose and when,” to answer this question Taylor uses the three rhetorical strategies and medium to connect to the audience and express her opinion on the side she would choose.

Nick Allen is a child full of ideas who decides to replace the word “pen” with the word “frindle” after his teacher has told him that words are formed by the people making them, therefore he must try it out for himself and gets six of his friends to commit to using the word “frindle” instead of pen.

Bedford (2009) used her literature review to highlight studies focused on issues around adjuncts. The issues included the quality of adjuncts’ instruction versus full-time faculty’s instruction; adjuncts supposed focus on the demands of their non-instructional full-time jobs; and adjuncts’ perceptions of their status in higher education institutions. The literature review does include articles from opposing viewpoints, but the number of sources used to support Bedford’s position is limited, and there are some unsubstantiated claims that would benefit from being better grounded in the literature. For example, Bedford claimed that full-time faculty are unable to meet the growing demand for online instruction due to “workload or resistance” (2009, Introduction section, para. 1). However, this potentially contentious claim is not clearly backed up, and other possible reasons are not mentioned. Another area that would benefit from including citations is the idea that there are distinct categories of adjuncts. Bedford described adjuncts who teach at more than one institution as a new trend, but she offers no research-backed evidence that this is a totally new phenomenon. One citation error
