Analysis Of Red Convertible By Alan Morales

When I first got accepted into Stuyvesant High School, I heard countless of rumors stating: “Oh the workload is terrible”, “The competition is so fierce” or “Out of schoolwork, extracurriculars, or sleep: you can only pick two.” I found it hard to let it faze me, since I graduated from one of the most prestigious middle schools. However, the rumors transformed into reality when I stepped into Mr. Nieves’ Freshman Composition Class. The workload at the beginning of the year was brutal, coupled with assignments from other core classes that seem unaware of the workload of other teachers. Reading assignments were a regular, and there were journal entries and occasional quizzes to keep us in line. What made it bearable was the friends I made in that class; everyone had their own opinion about the topic we were talking about, and listening to other perspectives really broadened my horizon and enriched my learning experience in Stuy. Another thing that this class has taught me is the importance of time management, a skill that I will carry on for the rest of my high school career and life. When I choose to sign up for Mr. Nieves’ AP American Literature class in my Junior Year, I was hoping to relive the discussion-based lesson plans and meet more outstanding peers. I was not disappointed, to say the least, reflecting through all the experiences at the end of the course. The lesson plans he laid out for us were an interesting mix between small lectures and class output, and what I

Anthropologists have always had their discrepancies with the word culture and its background significance. There have been numerous definitions that have filtered through the field, yet not one that everyone can accept or agree with. Franz Boas, an anthropologist in the early 20th Century, and his students, had a difficult time figuring out the objective of what culture is. Culture is about learning and shared ideas about behaviour. Although Boas and his students had a slightly different idea in mind. They ultimately reached a conclusion, a definition of culture in their view that is a contradiction in terms. Boas sates that, “ culture was expressed through the medium of language but was not reducible to it;

First off, I really liked your response due to the fact that I also addressed this question, and I was able to gain a different insight from your discussion board on things I did not include in my response. For instance, the way you explained how first point of view gave strength to the overall idea of history brining pride to many Chicanos not only showed great analysis, but also supported your argument regarding the character’s strong identification with his culture. You use a quote to support your answer and further analyze the quote and speak about the effect cultural heritage and history has on the person Joaquin is.

There are all kind of feeling that are transpiring throughout my mind when think of the term cultural analysis. In executing the communication concepts of African American cultural, I found that the Chinese and African American cultural are strongly tied to their beliefs and family concepts. I define myself through my culture as being an African American male, thought out religions, education, and family is very essential in my culture. Also, being limited to making lifestyle changes, and the different ways we communicated with each other are how I define myself through my culture. Being African American my perception of my culture is that we as a community are high in health, crime, education, and public housing, which implies welfare, government assists, black on black crime, and drug abuse. Being an African American, other cultures have a better chance at getting better jobs, education, and opportunities in life.

I am thankful for this assignment not only because it helped me grow as an individual, but helped me grow closer to my stepmother by learning about her culture and heritage. I think it meant a lot to her that I chose to do this paper on her culture. When we left, she hugged me and she thanked me as we walked to the car. I hugged her and thanked her back for allowing me the

You have just viewed your Special Occasion Speech. Now go back and re-watch your previous two speeches, paying particular attention to the similarities and difference you notice between the three

I would like to thank you for taking time out of your hectic schedule to talk to me as well as my peers. It was very interesting to find out the line of thinking from a person who deals with this topic fairly often. I am very appreciative of you taking

A professor of education at the University of Hawaii Kathryn Au wrote an article on Culturally responsive education titled “Culturally Responsive Instruction as a Dimension of New Literacies” in the article she talks about how she sees culturally responsive instruction as a theme running through literacy curriculum aimed at helping students of diverse backgrounds achieve high levels of literacy in their education. also how the idea behind culturally responsive teaching is that the teaching approach build upon the strengths that students bring from home cultures, instead of ignoring these strengths or requiring that students learn through approaches that conflict with their cultural values. Culturally responsive teaching has the goal of helping students grasp academic concepts through means and content responsive to their cultural values and practices.

X-Rays / Garret Weaver: I learned a lot of information about x rays that I didn’t know before due to your presentation. You helped me visualize how x rays actually work. The x-rays charge at an area of interest and those tissues and bones show up on the detector. I also did not know that they were used in places besides the medical field. Furthermore, I didn’t know that there was such a big risk of radiation from using them. Overall, I really liked your presentation and the images that you

I felt I did good on the content of my speech. I was able to be a bit technical for those who knew about my subject, but informative and toned down for those who didn’t know anything. I also felt my visual aids were good because I brought in real truck parts for everyone to see.

I felt more comfortable during this speech than I had in my previous two speeches. I’m not sure if it was because of how much I love the topic of aviation, or if it’s because I’m getting more and more exposed to public speaking. Nevertheless, I haven’t yet viewed my speech as I’m writing this, but I felt that I hit my goals of limited uh/ums, more movement, and staying organized in order to hit every point.

Even though I have not received my evaluation sheet for this time, many of my previous mistakes did not seem to emerge. While watching a total of seventeen other presentations, two stuck out in my mind, including: Stock Martin who did a splendid job of knowing his material and Lauren Hoffman who had a remarkable vocabulary. Every person has their own weaknesses and strengths, but Stock and Lauren’s delivery appeared most suitable to me. After learning from my mistakes in our prior assignments, I believe my positive abilities stood out more than my negative ones. The one down side I caught myself doing repeatedly was saying the phrase “and then” while demonstrating the folds to make the paper swan. I hope this flaw is overcome by practicing over and over again. For my next speech I intend persuading my audience that God is very much alive, as long as this topic does not offend anyone. With the casualties that are occurring from school shooting, homicides, and the highest suicide rates of all time, we need God more now than ever. One of my more favorable parts about doing this speech was that we had plenty of time to work, study, and practice performing in front of one another before our actual class at Amarillo College. I really enjoyed spending time on this and I can’t wait for our next

According to me I did my best, I knew I was nervous but still I did it. So I think I truly satisfied with my contribution to this presentation. Also by looking my group members face impressions I feel myself that I really did well. When I tell my introduction to my group members then some off them ask me question about my life, which gives me idea that my introduction was seems interesting to my group members. So that why they want to knew more further about it after the

Especially, please allow me to dedicate my acknowledgment the class professor (Dr. ) and my classmates that put made the classroom learning environment easier for me. I also thank my husband and the writing center staff who proof read my paper and offered invaluable detailed advices on grammar, organization, and the theme of the paper.
