Once I squeezed out all the information I could muster from those sections, I moved on to reading the text in extreme focus latching on to every word. For example, in the article “Some Consequences of Having Too Little,” when the text said “currently there are two ways to explain this behavior” (Shah, Mullainathan and Shafir 682), I highlighted that there are in fact two ways with one color so that I could remind myself to find two ways. Then I highlighted the two ways with another color. I read each article in this way leaving no important information out. I wrote margin notes on the text whenever I needed to summarize a paragraph or learned new information from the articles. With my pre summary taken from the collective of introductions,
Eventually, the treatment of African Americans that Harper so vehemently is against in her poem and Whitehead writes about in his novel sends the United States into a Civil War. Eleven southern states formed the Confederate States of America in which they fought a devastating four year war against the United States. The Civil War drastically changed the treatment of African Americans. The movie Glory is evidence of this. Glory is a civil war movie about the first African American regiment in the United States military. Their commander-Colonel Robert Gould Shaw- is white. The movie details the triumphs and hardships of the regiment, who at first seem to have trouble with one another and their commander, but grow to form a bond of camaraderie. The movie shows just how much hope the African American men have for their country because while they were in the army they were given no good reasons to feel as if they were Americans. They were mistreated by the white regiments and subject to worse conditions. The white men don't’ believe their capabilities, so they do not fight. Eventually their commander tells army officials , “ There's character. There's strength of heart. You should have seen us in action two days ago. We were a sight to see!” (Zwick). This leads the military to ask the regiment to lead a charge on Fort Wagner, a charge they know to be a death sentence. The most touching part of this scene is that these men are not one bit afraid to die for their country. Their
Then I read the chapter again, but this time I have made picture in my mind of the pages and I try to anticipate the terms and the concepts and my own examples for each concept before I read them. If I miss any, I jot them down again. Sometimes, I read the book backwards, sub-heading to sub-heading until I can see pretty much the whole
Reading Strategy Note: Unlike summary and paraphrase, which require close reading, for this discussion use the reading strategy of
* Do a first reading that uses underlining, annotation, and summary to make sure you understand what the writer is saying. Go back to any sections that need clarification.
*Since Week 1 was unsuccessful in going to sleep around that specific goal time I changed my project by pushing my sleep goals back 30 minutes for the remaining 4 weeks.
When working with children with behavioural difficulties it is important that practitioners respects the families culture, customs and values. Some children may grow up in a family where they value their father so it is important that practitioners take this into account when working with children with behavioural problems, as the child may listen more to male members of staff than female. Also some children may have been brought up by their grandparents where they are usually spoilt by them and get what they want and in the setting they cant always get their own way. When working with children with behavioural difficulties it is important that the practitioners have some knowledge on the child's background for example the child might have
Role model: Staff should give good example all times and simple actions such as saying please and thank
This summer, and again in class, we read the articles The Cost of Survival, The Moral Logic of Survivor Guilt, and Unbroken. Over the summer, I just read the texts on a literal level and the only text-marking that I did was I highlighted important parts and summarized each paragraph. I didn’t even begin to look into what else the author could possibly mean other than what he/she said on the page. Although, when we re-read and text-marked these articles, I did something very different. I looked into the deeper meaning of what the characters, word choice and plot that the author chose to use, means and what new ideas that they brought to the text by reading each paragraph carefully and questioning why the author did certain things that brought me to something that I had never found before. The difference between the two is that in the first read is that I didn’t fully understand the text. I just wrote summaries on the side of the piece. I didn’t have any idea of what any different meaning was than the obvious meaning. In my second read I found and understood deeper
Summarizing each paragraph for the third reading helps you know the main idea of each paragraph without reading through it again, and you could find the best and important example in the text. All the readings have a purpose that helped me write the essay; it broke down the content of each source so it could be understandable, how helpful each information is, and if the author’s evidence is strong enough to convince
family member may show less resistance and eventually might be willing to take part too.
It is important to provide teachers the support they need in order to work with children with challenging behaviors. It not only helps the teacher with classroom management, but it also helps the child learn to self-regulate their own behaviors by anticipating consequences. The purpose of this study was to investigate the strategies that preschool teachers use in attempt to manage students challenging behaviors and to examine the teachers reasons behind the strategies. Preschool age appears an ideal time to where teachers can apply appropriate strategies and often times it seems to be the first place that children show the first signs of challenging behaviors. Preschool children that tend to manifest challenging behaviors are
“Every working family in America knows how hard it is today to find affordable childcare or early education for children.” - Bernie Sanders. This quote is just one reason why Bernie is an amazing choice to be president. it shows how much he cares about how American children do not get the education they need, or how hard it is for the people to even afford health care. These two ideas need to be mandatory for a better nation. Bernie has the answer in this day and age to help the people of America with the problem of poverty and many more problems. These solutions make him the best candidate for the next president of the united states
Behavior disorder is defined as “Any of various forms of behavior that are considered inappropriate by members of the social group to which an individual belongs.” (The American Heritage Stedman 's Medical Dictionary, 2015) Due to its broad definition, methods of identification, diagnosis, and treatments are varied and controversial. After my son was diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in November of 2012, I recognized a stigma within the community surrounding behavior disorders that made it difficult to find the appropriate support for my son and my family. This paper will discuss the causes of behavior disorders, methods for proper identification, and problems that can arise in the home, school, and community of a child with a behavior disorder.
Are you the type of person who wants to be able to go to work everyday doing something you love, helping others who need it, and getting a smile on your face just by the smallest of things that someone does? That is the type of person I am, which is why I chose the career path of a Behavior Specialist. A Behavior Specialist is someone who works with a person who may have a disability, and they study and work with them to make things as easy as possible for their daily life. They focus on the perception of life, however sometimes hesitate to present the strong conclusions how behaviors cause certain emotion (Thompson). A Behavior Specialist is also known as a Social Psychologist, because they study how a person’s mental life and behavior are shaped by interactions with other people (“Pardon Our Interruption”). The four main behaviors that Behavior Specialists look for when studying the actions of a person are, “Self-awareness, emotion, motivation, and feelings” (“Modeling the Early Human Mind”). Although I believe being a Behavior Specialist is a dream job, there are always issues that go along with any job, in this case emotions play a role in the occupation working with people who need extra help.
Externalizing Problems are those behaviors, which are typically “under control” by the child and are often seen as uncommon to both peers and adults within the school or home environment. This composite was measured in the parent rating and teacher rating form. Madison’s mother reported that Madison does not act aggressively with her peers or demonstrate any rule-breaking behaviors at home (Aggression, T-45: Conduct Problems, T=50). However, her responses to items on the Hyperactivity scale indicate Madison displays At Risk levels of hyperactivity at home (Hyperactivity, T=66). Mrs. Crilley reported that Madison “often’ talks over others, and interrupts overs when they are speaking. Furthermore, she endorsed that Madison “sometimes” acts without thinking and acts out of control. Also, she “sometimes” is unable to wait turns, and shows poor self-control. On Madison’s self report, she did not rate herself as having elevated levels of Hyperactivity (Hyperactivity, SRP=35; average).
