Arletha's Fifth Grade Level Analysis

In the past two months i fell like i have accomplished a great deal. As i focus on it more i realize i have become a better reader. I did this by concentrating on my readings and take my time to read them. With the help of my professor and classmates i began to analyze what i read.

At Arts-Based School I did my observation in Leni Fragakis’s third grade class. This was the first observation I had done since learning about instructional design. Since learning it, I now have a new way of observing, I pay more attention to the teacher; how she implemented the lessons, what strategies she uses, and the types of assessments she uses. This gives me a better experience because before I was just paying attention to what the students were doing and their part in the classroom and now I am paying attention to so much more. Even though it is important to watch the kids, I now also know how important it is to observe the teacher, too. I was also able to observe what I am learning in class be used in the classroom.

In English 1102 students will learn many different techniques throughout the course to understand and compose an analysis on an array of topics. After the course is over it is up to the students to apply what they have learned to everyday life. Many students throughout this course have questioned why they have to learn this material and that it will not even help them in the real world, but they are wrong. Each and everyday people should look at the deeper meaning and analyze situations very carefully or else one may find themselves being deceived. Being able to analyze is a very important skill no matter what career choice you choose. In this course the material assigned also had many life lessons in them. A great example of a reading assignment

In chapter 7 from “Lies My Teacher Told Me was all about the truth behind social class and the truth of what kind of opportunities we really have in America. But not only that, its also about lies in what we are taught and what people are taught to think. This chapter pointed out why people feel and think the way they do. There was quote form the chapter that I liked because it explains that our books and what we are taught gives us the meanings of not truly understanding the truth. Even today we are blind to what the land of opportunity really stands for. “Since History textbooks present the American past as four hundred years of progress and portray our society as a land of opportunity in which folks get what they deserve and deserve what

1a. According to Loewen’s introduction, high school students hate history because nobody expects much from it. Many people are bored of history because we already know the ending of all the textbook’s “stories.” The textbooks have a monotone voice, and are technically clones of each other. Apparently history professions do not even review the textbooks in order to check if they have any historical mistakes in them. Also the authors of the textbooks wrote in them like there are still no debates about any of the topics, so students are not meant to question history. The textbooks are written through “white eyes” so they are biased and full of nationalism. Textbooks do not include

In the textbook ‘Lies my Teacher told me’, James W. Loewen talks about how the monstrosities committed by the american troops in Vietnam have been covered up throughout history, especially in american textbooks. One line states “ We have destroyed their two most cherished institutions: the family and the village. We have their land and their crops… We have corrupted their women and children and killed their men.’’ No textbook quotes king’’’ This quote is important because it proves my point that all of the american textbooks published to date, do not contain any such content related to the dark side of the actions that the american troops carried out in Vietnam.

I have attached a copy of my high school transcript with the courses and grades I have received throughout my last two years at Anacortes High School. This semester, I am taking ASB Leadership, Strength and Conditioning, Drama 3, Pre-Calc, AP Environmental Science, AP Literature and Composition, and Teacher's Aide for Mr. Thompson. My favorite classes I have taken at AHS are Honors World Religions and ASB Leadership. Honors World Religions is one of my favorite classes because it challenges you to think differently than any other class does. It not only talks about religious history, but also current world issues that involve religion. This class is said to be one of the hardest classes at AHS, but it is also the most interesting class I have

This school is miserable. I can’t believe my parents made me attend Ramapo High School. The people in this school are a buncha phonies with rich parents. Everyone acts like they’re entitled to everything because of their social status. I’m trying really hard to apply myself but I can’t handle the surrounding that I am in. To be honest though, I’ve been to schools that were way worse than Ramapo. The worst one was Indian Hills. God damn, that place was a hell of a dump. I ran away from that place so many times that even I started to become concerned for myself. My only friends here at Ramapo are Ackley and Jane. Ramapo has over a 1000 students enrolled, and those 2 are the only ones that I know of that aren’t phonies. You want to know what characteristics

The Main Problem With College There seems to be a problem with college, the quality of education has diminished and tuition costs have grown to new heights. Despite this, many people still chose to get a college education to gain an advantage in their career field. In “A New Course”, Magdalena Kay argues that the reason colleges do not adequately prepare them for their future lies in the curriculum. Professors teach classes as they were originally taught, and they grade to easily, giving out more As than they should. Students are not challenged enough, and fall victim to distractions.

In order to revamp Core tested programs, schools have been shifting focus to those areas and changing instructional times for various classes, which prevents students from achieving their full potential in the affected classes. Instructional time is important, especially in the fine arts. In order to have an arts program with the tangible results and benefits previously explained, elementary students require to have at least 50 hours of instructional time in order to give them a solid base in art disciplines (Good, 374). The schools who would prefer to focus their resources on the Core tested programs will see improvement in the Core areas, but there are other subjects that leave a footprint along the beach of test scores that help improve

TXT- Picasso constructed this piece using cardboard, string, and wire, which was bases from his distinguished work of Guitar, Sheet Music, and Wine. This specific sculpture was used to express the interior aspects of the guitar to view the volumetric attributes and ideas behind the creation itself. Page 156

History has always blinded people. The masterminds behind the text strategize methods to ensure the full understanding of the context provided; in fact, they scheme the reader through the meticulous shaping of appearances and the exclusion of information. It is then parodied verbally by teachers, passing it down to the next generation of our future. Yet, no one mentioned the major flaws inscripted until James Loewen took the decent action to inform readers-young and old- of the forged lies thrown at us by these so called “textbooks.” In James Loewen’s Lies My Teacher Told Me, it is understood that textbooks are the source of retained knowledge both old and new; however, this newfound knowledge can

In the beginning of chapter 12 Isabel begins to talk about the festival of the May. I think it is awful that Isabel desperately wants to be queen, but that she doesn’t have a fair chance just because she is not white, with blonde hair and blue eyes. I feel like this sort of thing always happens. I wish I could be in Hamilton but they are only taking “non-white” actors. Plus, there was a time that I wanted to have a part in a song, but I was not able to have it because I was white. So, even though it was clear that I would have been good for the part they gave it to someone else. I was devastated so I understand how disappointed she will feel. I think it is so unfair to judge people just based on their skin color or where their family
