Ccs R. 1 4.2 Text Analysis

Tomorrow’s lesson I am going to have visuals as we review. I believe this will benefit all of the students not just the 2 indicated above. The visuals will give more information than my examples or from the words of the text book.

Third graders will become zoologists, understanding the various habitats where animals live. They will research a specific habitat and identify necessary environmental factors for the survival of a chosen animal. Analyzing and synthesizing information from multiple sources, students will create a triorama that represents the animal's habitat and perform a public service announcement advocating for the habitat's preservation.

English learners are currently the fastest developing student population in schools today. This makes it extremely important to provide these students with the programs and services they deserve. Providing a strong education for ELL students is what I personally believe to be an asset in America’s future. Today there are many challenges I believe teachers and students face when it comes to instruction and assessments.

. What narrative structure does the author use to tell the story? John Boyne uses imagery in his book.

The one technique I am not understanding is the using simple coloring to help solve sudoku puzzles. From my understanding, one does not even use colors; rather, the colors are inferred. I somewhat understand the use of pluses and minuses because they creates “chain.” For example, there’s one plus that’s in the same row as a minus, and then that minus is in the same column as a plus and so on, except I’m not understanding where the plus in square f1 (in figure 12) came from, except that it might have something to do with the minus that is in the same grid (def123) as it. I’m not understanding why all the pluses and minuses in the figure are reliant on whether or not there is a one in f1. Then the author asked us to change all the pluses and minuses into black and white square, and I’m not sure that makes any difference or makes solving the puzzle any easier. Now the author is asking us to suppose the solution of a candidate in a square, and then it states that this candidate can occur outside the chain, and now I’m not understanding why we were creating the chain if it didn’t help us determine definite candidates.

This lesson was geared toward many levels of learning ability and a variety of learning styles. Mrs. Soglin modeled the learning objective with the pan balance using the visual aid with the scale and a variety of different objects to be weighed. Then she provided additional information using the chalkboard. She engaged with the class by having an open discussion allowing the students to build on each other’s knowledge of the subject matter. She allowed for students to model for the class. When students were working in groups and pairs the higher level students helped lower level students. She also provided challenging problems at the end of the activity for those students who were ready and

Prior taking this RETELL class I thought differentiating meant “dummying down” work. I struggled with the concept of differentiating strategies because I thought it help students to be all they can be. Taking the class have given a clear understanding the meaning and the usage of differentiating teaching, matter of fact, some the strategies I use in class are similar to some of the strategies taught in the RETELL class. I realized that Differentiated instruction is about using teaching strategies that connect with individual student's learning strategies. The ultimate goal is to provide a learning environment that will maximize the potential for student success. The important thing to remember is to hold on to the effective teaching strategies that lead students to positive learning outcomes and to make adjustments when necessary. It's about being flexible and open to change. It's also about taking risks and trying teaching and learning strategies that you would have otherwise ignored. It's about managing instructional time in a way that meets the standards and also provides motivating, challenging, and meaningful experiences for school age

There are many different strategies that an instructor can use in ELL classrooms or in classrooms in which ELL students have been mainstreamed. As always, instructors are called upon to constantly modify their curriculum and instruction in order to meet the needs of each individual learner. This is made more possible if the instructor has more knowledge of different teaching methods and strategies. There are many possible research sources that offer ideas, methods and strategies for everyday use in an ELL classroom. Several of the more common or functional strategies will be discussed here.

Three of the things that will apply to make mealtime more comfortable and pleasant for children will be: First I will start by having them to serve their own food. This will give them an opportunity to choose what they will be eating and put it on their plate. Another thing will be to participate on making fun food activities, like creating a rainbow with their vegetables and fruits. Or making our own pizza. I will make conversation to each them while they eat so they can share feels or questions they might have.

ELL continue to rise year after year. In EDUC 628, the class delved into the rise of ELL in America and how the best teaching methods to approach each learner with. Every ELL student is unique and has different learning process. Although the semester covered a wide variety of topics ranging from dialects to teaching methods, every module served its purpose in providing a framework for future ELL teachers. Learning about how to teach ELL was significant to me because when I first entered the school system in America, I was placed into ESL and I have gone through the process of many of these teaching methods. EDUC 628 main focus was preparing students whose goal in the future was to educate ELL. The articles and readings assigned in the class provided a funds of knowledge going into each new lesson. Coupled with the readings, hands on activities such as the mini lessons and designing lesson plans provided each student with experience that will reflect on their teaching abilities in the classroom. In my paper, I will be provided a step by step synthesis of what was learned and accomplished every week along with a brief summary of the readings. I will probe deeper into the modules and lessons that piqued my interest the most and that also challenge my mindset.

“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, . . . do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”(U.S. Constitution.) The very first paragraph of the United States Constitution leaves the reader feeling inspired, hopeful, and patriotic. The introduction truly is a solid introduction as it not only engages the reader with a hook, but also provides a list of the objectives they hope to accomplish through their document. As for the objectives I hope to accomplish through this document; I hope to provide a thoughtful and logical review of Article I of the United States Constitution from the perspective of a typical American high school student.

One of the U.S. educational challenges of today is meeting the educational needs of the English language learners. This growing diverse population of English learners has to simultaneously learn to build their English language proficiency and the content area within their grade level standard. This makes it a double challenge for them and their teachers. After observing a lesson based on a video simulation of a classroom, I will discuss five components: comprehensible input, ongoing specific and immediate feedback, grouping structures and techniques, building background and vocabulary development and student engagement that were integrated into the lesson. I will then discuss what methods and techniques should be utilized when

Content and Inquiry Standard Objective: Using their observations from each investigation, students will write or verbally state an accurate claim and give at least three pieces of evidence from their observations/discoveries to accurately explain how young animals resemble their parents.
