The article by Erika Christakis, informs future teachers and parents how preschool today may not be benefiting their children as much as they thought. She talks about how preschool has changed drastically over the years as well as kindergarten. She states that “kindergarten may be the new first grade”. Her statement shows how children today are expected more then they were years ago in all grades, especially preschool and at such a young age. Many think this is helping our children or will benefit them in the future if they know more as a child but this may not be the case. The article talks about multiple studies done throughout America to children are learning and how school curriculum changing affects children. A studied showed that children

Rich’s article uses slating throughout the paper, trying to push the reader to favor what the author is saying. According to Birk, “Each different stress gives you a different slant (favorable or unfavorable or balanced) to the statement because it conveys a different attitude”(Birk and Birk2). The way the author emphasis the words in the article gives you a clue, on whether they are in favor or against or balanced. For example, some of the words are “must have equal access to comparable programs, materials and facilities”(Rich). The key words that seem to be stressed on more in ‘must have equal’ which suggests that the schools have to have it, she could’ve used a different words, but instead she used those. Birk and Birk suggests that “we can

In the field of architecture, it is important to understand that the profession spans two different discourse communities with their own distinct standards and needs: and internal and external discourse [5]. The internal discourse is the one in which architect communicate with their fellow peers, educators, critics, in effort to always

The article “The Case for Fitting In” compares to my idea of conformity because I think that it means how you change your opinion due to social pressure. My idea of conformity relates to the article because it was talking about how when people were in a group and someone said the wrong answer they usually went with it. “Each subject saw 18 sets of lines, and the group answer was wrong for 12 of them” this proves that most of the time people went with the group rather than going with their personal opinion. I think that the article really compares with my definition of conformity because I think that it causes you to change your opinion and sometimes causes you to choose wrong answers. I also strongly think that the article agrees with me because

The critique in the article by The Onion is revolved around marketing techniques such as outrageous claims that advertisers make in an attempt to convince their audience to buy their product. This critique is made using a sarcastic tone and caricatures of the characters commonly seen in commercials. Not only are caricatures and hyperboles used but also a use of overly scholarly language to make the product out to be much more than it’s worth.

Will the state fulfill the desires of the community like it promises? Many Denver residents of the article Colorado Aims to Expand a Main Artery, but beleaguered Neighbors Balk do not think so; nor the author Julie Hurwitz. Despite the expansion helping with the flow of traffic, it is causing many negative impacts on the current residents. It is the city’s most controversial topic.

The United States consumes more than 25% of the world’s petroleum products which is a large percentage, considering only 3% of the world’s oil reserves are produced by the United States. Given the demand for petroleum products such as gasoline, understanding why Crude oil prices have skyrocketed in recent years, is not hard. According to the article “Ending America’s Oil Addiction,” the surge in crude oil prices can be reduced in large part to the simple concepts of supply and demand. (Cooper, 2008)

As the articles states that "research suggests that skills learned in playing an instrument may mirror effective reading" (Cho, D. L., & Vitale, D. L., 2014). I agree with this because you need to learn how to read the music notes, just like you have to learn how to read to read a book. So, when a child is learning to play an instrument they gain knowledge and skills that could be used in many other ways. Also, learning to perform music has many other skills that you could use in other subjects and in the long-term because when you learn to play a musical instrument you gain skills that improve your capabilities of your memory (Cho, D. L., & Vitale, D. L., 2014). They will also gain teamwork skill because when you play an instrument you are most likely part of band and also, in order to make music you need to work with others (Matthews, M., 2011). Also, increasing coordination, hand eye coordination because when playing an instrument, you need read the notes and play the instrument at the same time. How I can incorporate art into the curriculum is by playing music in the classrooms this is a great way to incorporate music a little bit at a

The first thing that stood out in the article, Where We Are Going, is the approach King takes to reflect the United States poverty dilemma. By referring to all races as a whole, instead of pieces of a problem, anyone who reads this is able to relate. Growing up, I myself was part of the lower middle class; I never understood why I never had as much as the other kids did. This caused having a mindset I could not follow in my family’s path because that is what I grew to blame. However, it has not been easy. A constant cycle of school, work, and life demands; I know by doing one small thing wrong could cause all I’ve worked hard for to slip through my fingers. I would not know where to go from there, so I believe those

After first reviewing the article, it came to the reader’s attention that Neltner was providing the stronger argument. Neltner believed that smarter investments and stricter oversight were the key to providing safe drinking water to the public. When speaking to the reader in the introduction, he used a first person point of view to attract the reader’s attention. For example, the word “we” was used to make the reader feel involved in the subject. A similar method was utilized in the conclusion to remind the reader that they were included in this discussion. In the body paragraphs, the same method was used in a similar way. The writer deviated to third person point of view instead of first. This was intended to cause the argument to

In the article “Language acquisition for deaf children: Reducing the harms of zero tolerance to the use of alternative approaches” the authors talked about children need regularly and meaningfully accessible to human language. Children that have not acquired a language in the early years might never speak fluently in any language. This critical period is for children to develop their first language skills. Most children that are born deaf in the developed countries have cochlear devices implanted, but these devices do not offer accessible language to many deaf children. This device might cause the child to miss the critical period that is needed for children.

Evaluation is an important process required to determine the reliability and validity of information from various sources, such as journals, text books, and web pages (http://www.lib.berkeley.edu). The article in question looks at “the impact of early dementia an outdoor life”. Bennet (2001) is the framework that will be used to help structure the evaluation of this article, as it should then give an indication if the information is clearly justified or not. The study was carried out by four researchers: who have clearly stated their educational and professional back round in biographical notes Duggan et al (2008). The aim of the study was to determine if it is beneficial to sufferers of dementia to venture outdoors on a regular
