When we were given the final assignment’s instructions, I was very confused by it. I did not understand what were we supposed to do and how to do it. I had an idea on mind, however after talking to Professor McNair, I understood what the assignment was and I realized that I needed a new pitch for the final project. The task was to create a short 30 seconds story with no dialogue, which had a beginning, middle and end. In addition, the story needed to have a motive for action. The character was to move within the frame but with a purpose. This is the most important part of the project because it leads to everything else. After thinking about this assignment over and over, one day I finally got a divine insight. I realized that I needed to do something simple that several people could relate to.

The book can be used at any school level because

In the reading “The Scarlet Ibis” written by James Hurst A little boy at about the age of five was born with a few health defects which didn’t allow him to be as able as his older brother. Determined to extinguish these disabilities the two young boys set out to learn to do things that everybody was able to do such as walk. One day a storm came and the two were running home; the older one fearful of the storm didn’t wait for the his little counterpart only to realize what he had done turned around to reveal the death of the young child.

As the book progresses, Nick Carraway goes from an optimistic, shallow, naive persona to an ill-disposed man wishing for wholesome conservative values. This change of character can be first seen in chapter 1 when Nick is giving a brief foundation of the novel as he informs the audience that his tolerance “has a limit” (Fitzgerald 2). He mentions that after the unfortunate events he moved back midwest wishing “... the world to be in uniform and at a sort of moral attention forever; [Nick] wanted no more riotous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart” (Fitzgerald 2). Nick uses very powerful words such as, “riotous”, “privileged”, and “moral” to foreshadow the false projections and lack of integrity that many of the other characters display. When can see Nick’s “young and more vulnerable” behavior slowly dissipate as he becomes further immersed into the urban city life of the 1920s by attending more parties with people he hardly knows and drinking excessively (Fitzgerald 1). As Nick witnesses the negative effects of Tom’s awful treatment of the Wilson’s and Gatsby’s obsessive enchantment with Daisy leading towards his demise; he begins to recognize the flaws of societal

John learns that work has caused him to lose touch with the neighborhood where he has lived for many years. And he finds out that things weren't always as they seemed to be -- in many ways.

We added Lanie Gordon to the story as Charlie’s sister. We put her in the story because we felt that with Charlie’s story, someone had to pay the price of all the attention Charlie got and the status he had.

Also have students complete all reading and study guides that were not finished and review vocabulary for possible pop quiz on vocabulary from prologue-chapter 10.

In our everyday lives we see and communicate with people with disability, while others live with them in their homes. In my opinion, a disability is any form of physical or mental impairment that impacts on an individual’s ability to function properly and perform normal day to day activities. These impairments arise from either accidents, illnesses, genetic conditions or health conditions. Focusing closely on disability in this essay, I will describe the story of a particular individual with a disability. In my case, the story of Marla Runyan, a famous American Athlete and discuss my thoughts and feelings in response to her story. In addition to this, I will also discuss the four different models of disability and link them to Marla’s disability.

I discovered that the title of the book is roused by Mark Twain who once stated, "On the off chance that you begin the day by eating a frog you will have the fulfillment of realizing this was presumably the most exceedingly terrible thing you needed to do that day". I take the frog to speak to the most exceedingly awful or most troublesome errand or occupation that you need to do. On the off chance that you begin the free day completing that, at that point it will be finished and the most exceedingly bad is past, and you can proceed onward to a more profitable day.

I will use the Literature circle to enhance the student’s ability to collaborate on a higher level so that they can move toward independent readers, molding them to integrate in a powerful classroom activity that will activate their critical thinking skills. I will do a book study and have students to meet and discuss the importance of rotating their roles giving everyone an opportunity to share the responsibility. I will teach how to highlight in different colors distinguishing each student reading.

They will analyze, make inferences, justify and persuade what the text is saying regarding the major themes of the novel and the essential question of the unit. The second part of the central focus is for students to produce an argumentative composition that introduces a complex central idea and develop it with appropriate, specific evidence, cogent explanations, and clear transitions (See central focus in lessons 1&2). Their claim will answer and address the essential questions of the unit. This aligns with the common core standards RI.11-12.5 where the student will analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the structure that the author uses. They will also be creating and defending a claim. This aligns with the common core standard W.11-12.1 where students will have to write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics or texts, using valid reasoning and relevant and sufficient evidence. In lesson 2 students continue to analyze and make inferences and now justify and persuade are added to the day’s lesson and the central focus of the unit. In lesson 3 towards the end of the unit, I conduct a peer edit workshop for their performance task draft (their formal

Beebe and Masterson has provided an abundance of material in the event of covering communication in small groups. This book may be used as a reference for several small groups, which are mentioned in the book. Meanwhile, I agree with your thoughts concerning the scenario. Considering that Tracy is sociable, and the group enjoys listening to her stories. I agree with you, there would be a need for a serious conversation with Tracy.

You may remember this “sweetie” named Lomene. It was near Christmas years ago when we rescued her from a life of slavery. She was living with her father’s girlfriend and was treated poorly. Lomene was a restavec (slave child) for this family. She did all the work and had no time to be a child. Lomene wasn’t able to go to school, and she spent her days cooking, cleaning and taking care of the other children. When we found her, we knew we had to rescue her! We took her home to our orphanage where she met all of her new brothers and sisters. We put clean clothes and shoes on her, gave her lots of love and three hot meals every day. We also gave her a new doll and allowed her to be a little girl. Now, Lomene is growing up to be a beautiful young
