Artifact Description

The artifact was developed and implemented for a fourth-grade language arts and reading class with seven students, four girls, and three boys, between the ages of nine and ten. The classroom setting is student centered with differentiated instruction to benefit the varying reading levels and exceptionalities. There are five English-language learners out of the seven students, three students are ESOL level four and two students are ESOL level three. All the students are exceptional students with learning disabilities in reading. The best practices I utilized to develop the artifact was prior knowledge and the Wonders textbook. The best practices I utilized to implement the artifact were reading strategies such as SPADE, written copies of the

My life can be divided into two segments. The first part I lived with my family and Mexico City, the second part started when I moved to Austin in the start of college. The live that I lived in each of the sections has been different from the activities that I took part in, all the way to what kind of location those activities occurred. In this paper I will explain the two mental maps that I created. For each map I will compare and contrast the Landmarks, nodes, edges, paths, and edges in each of the sections of my life and why they are relevant to me.

In LIS 600 students evaluate democratic principles, major information policies, ethical policies, and the role information agencies play in preserving information. In the paper the student determines the role of librarians in the implementation of policy and the role of continuing education no user relations.The instructor describes my paper as “excellent research and smart thoughts.” I earned a B for the paper. The final exam is a culmination of knowledge and discussion of ethical policies, evolution of policies, and education of librarians. These topics provide a knowledge base for anyone entering the library profession. The understating of policy also intertwines with other coursework such as the strategic plan. One cannot create a strategic plan without understanding information policies. I received a letter grade of A for the final exam. Instructor comments for the exam include “a job well done.” These artifacts for LIS 600 build a foundation of library profession providing the theories for future librarian and library development.

The artifact I uploaded to demonstrate my proficiency in Standard 6 is my final leadership project for the Supervision of Instruction course I completed at the end of August 2015. This project required me to identify an area in which I wanted to improve my professional practices as an administrator, and then implement a plan for improvement which involved communicating with staff, tracking growth, developing action steps, and identifying potential obstacles. The area I chose to focus on was student achievement, and my goal was to increase all students’ academic growth in literacy by improving teachers’ instructional practices through professional development, feedback, and collaboration. The feedback that I received from my professor reassured

Artifact 1: Brainstorm topics; this artifact is a list composed of ten main terms with two subterms residing to each. Brainstorming is a method that always for the flow of creativity. Therefore, paving the way for new ideas. However, prior to this artifact, I rarely used brainstorming as a method in the composition of my pieces. Throughout my writing career, I based my essay topics around the first thought that would come to mind. However, this artifact presented the notion that, first ideas are not always the best. From my list of terms, I was able to choose an essay topic that I was truly passionate about. The subject that I chose to write on, was not the first idea that came to my mind while brainstorming. It had actually taken seven tries in order for me to find the right one .

After reading the selection, direct a class discussion in which students share their visualizations, including as much detail as possible. Potential teacher-generated questions include…

From my personal interaction with females, most women are not concerned with male dominance. In most of the world from my understanding, the majority of females grew up taught that the men are the head of the household or more dominant. Why oppose the dominincy of a male? In the picture below, the male is exibiting his dominance in a sensual manner that is normalized. The female in the image is not showing any sort of discomfort though it would be different if the male was expressing violence. That is why I feel there is nothing wrong with the way the image is portrayed. Moreover, males have biological factors that occur naturally that can please women, such as aggressiveness or muscles, and etc. As a woman, I feel

For my first Artifact Analysis, I’ve decided to go with the Slave Ship diagram. The first thing that popped into my head when I saw this image was cramped. Meaning the slave ship is filled with so many Africans bungled up next to each other that there’s hardly any room to move let alone breath. As I was reading Commentary, one of the things that really stood out to me was the dehumanization that the Europeans were inflicting on the Africans. A quote from the text states, “The Portuguese were in search of pepper, nutmeg and cinnamon, but found the black skinned peoples who they would later call Negroes, curious items of trade” (31). The phrase “curious items of trade” indefinitely demonstrates the perception of what the African

For this paper I have evaluated three different artefacts. I will present this portfolio, along with an examination of these sources for use in future evidence-based nursing practice. The focus of the paper is adolescent pregnancy in the Australian context. The first artefact that I have examined is "Mental Health for Children and Families" by McLeod, Currie and Gordon.

One of the best decisions I made my junior year was joining Interact Club. Around Christmas time, everyone in Interact fundraises money by selling candy bars. This money goes to the Christmas clearing Council to help buy Christmas gifts for families in need at Waukesha North. We actually got to go shopping before Christmas and pick out the gifts for the families with the money we raised. This was very humbling for me because they didn't ask for much. All they really wanted was a pair of socks and a t-shirt. Nothing big, nothing fancy. The thought of people not getting gifts on Christmas really never occurred to me until then. I've been so fortunate that I have never had that situation at home, but now I realize that many others do. And that

Artifacts comes in so many different shapes or form. It could hold personal memories, feelings, or even value. The artifact I chose to share is my necklace.

Trying to find stolen and missing works of art and documents is very difficult for authorities. If they think they found it then they have to go through many processes to decide whether it is a replica or the real piece of art or document. Once the artifacts are stolen some are put into secret museums for others to pay not knowing the artifact is the real or not. In the first passage it says, "The hallway in the Brooklyn warehouse was dark, the space cramped... I was staring at one of most sought-after stolen masterpiece...or was I?" The person was a reporter who like many couldn’t decide whether it is real or not.

To create my Artifact, I utilized PowerPoint as it is straightforward to create, manipulate and mold images and text together. The features allowed me to accurately position different items. This worked when dragging pictures and words around. While moving text and images, it indicated when I properly aligned my features. This allowed for proper spacing and the Artifact to be aesthetically pleasing. It also featured word art, which I used often. Lastly, I used Burner Bonanza to removed backgrounds. This worked when I uploaded a picture file and defined a background. Then, a transparent background PNG picture was output.

My first artifact is an interview that I conducted for my 1359 CDEC (Teaching Exceptional Children) class at the DCCCD. This interview is an example of how teachers work together to meet the diverse needs of students. Moreover, this interview is an example of how teachers collaborate together to meet the diverse needs of students. An inclusion teacher and a general classroom teacher work together to better meet the needs of their students with disabilities. They both help, special education students be part of the general classroom, and as well, help them accelerate their academic growth. I believe this artifact is an example that highlights collaboratively learning because the inclusion and the general education teacher work together to help

An artifact I own, which I would consider important, is a snow globe. The snow globe is a jar. The jar is filled with water, glitter, and has a nutcracker inside of it. The nutcracker is small, and the jar is turned upside down. This snowglobe is important to me because it was given to me as a gift, from my sister and mother, which gives me old memories. This is also considered very important to me because it is a original snow globe, and unlike any other that I own. As a conclusion, this artifact is an original, important artifact to me, which has qualities bringing me back to younger memories.
