Jacob is a student that I have enjoyed having in class and seeing him grow in his writing has been a true reward. When Jacob wrote his first writing sample he stopped writing after about 5 minutes and was stuck on what to write next. I believe that part of it had to do with the fact that we had not talked about too many body systems. For their first writing sample I wanted to get a feel of where they were in regards to wrting. His writing sample consisted of one long sentece with a single period at the end. Jacob also wrote in “I” statements instead of creating his own superhero. This wasn’t surrising since at this grade level they are still accostumed to writing about themselves. He did write about three superheros and their strength, but did not reltate them to any …show more content…
The first graphic organizer we used in class the cheeseburger. This helped Jacob see where he lacked punction in his first writing. The cheeseburger was also a good graphic organizer because it gave the students a template to write one solid paragraph with 5-6 sentences. I also had the opportunity to share with the class about the type of writing we were doing and that “I” statements should not be used in their writing. The prompt was to create a superhero, give him super powers, and relate them to a body system. The idea is that the students will make a connection to the body systems. Finally, as a class we also incorporated a peer review workshop. jacob was my favorite student to observe because he gave good feedback as well as took into consideration what his classmates told him and make changes to his writing. I feel that reading his writing alloud helped him catch some errors and made changes to help his writing flow. Jacob was also able to expand his writing and include the body

Jacob Riis' book How the Other Half Lives is a detailed description on the poor and the destitute in the inner realms of New York City. Riis tries to portray the living conditions through the eyes' of his camera. He sneaks up on the people flashes a picture and then tells the rest of the city how the other half' is living. As shocking as the truth was without seeing such poverty and horrible conditions with their own eyes or taking in the experience with all their senses it still seemed like a million miles away or even just a fairy tale.
I would structure writing groups so as this student is grouped with others of the same ability. Duchesne (2013) provides information on evidence that suggests this would be successful as when students compare themselves to someone of the same or lower ability, this secures their self-concept. I would also reflect on how I can continue to create a supportive classroom environment. Am I providing enough opportunities for students to use a combination of printed, spoken, visual and digital processes? Providing such opportunities contributes to their eagerness to write, as it places emphasise on writing versus the focus on neatness and accuracy of spelling (Annandale, 2005). If it is a free choice task, the student may be struggling to make a start due to not knowing what to write about. A print walk around the room to revisit charts they have made for writing prompts and word walls that support writing, will reiterate the supportive classroom environment (Annandale, 2005). I would be flexible in my planning and allow for creative thinking to occur through allowing the students to discuss their writing topic. Collaboration involves asking questions, exploring ideas and generating ideas to spark imagination and creativity (Lyons, Ford, & Slee,
When a person gets old they become forgetful and forgetting your memories is frightening, that’s why Jacob is concerned about his poor memory.

The novel “Defending Jacob” by William Landay is a legal thriller which makes you want to keep reading. Even though the beginning chapters are a little slow, it picks up from there on. I realized that from the beginning I thought Jacob was innocent because he was a quiet kid who didn't show any signs of possibly murdering someone. Since Andy barber was jacob’s father it was hard for him to realize that his son was a murderer until after Hope's death. Also I think Andy thought that because of his father's past, it was occurring in Jacob. I think Andy knew that if Jacob was the murderer that would cost him his reputation as a successful assistant district attorney, so andy personally couldn't accept the possibility of his son being a murderer.
As God molds and guides Jacob over the course of the Jacob Cycle, God interacts with Jacob in increasingly personal ways.
This thesis has the objective to analyze the Jacob cycle, a set of narratives presentes in the book of Genesis first of Hebrew Bible, starting from its characteristics to find the literary resources tha suggest the irony and the humor. The history of religious interpretation of Jacob cycle has disregarded its ironic and humorous possibilities because of his interest in theological truth that presupposes sin and the salvation of humanity. Some authors have dealt with the theme of irony and humor in the narratives about Jacob, but the approach, in addition to being superficial, originated a priori from Greek or extemporaneous concepts that were not used by the Hebrew writers in the construction of their narratives. The aim of this thesis, therefore,
Due to Jacob being an ELL student, it is important to consider his language and background when teaching him. Most students who struggle with reading in English, also struggle with reading in their native language. In order for a student to strive in the English language, they must strive in their own language (Colorín Colorado, 2017). Before labeling Jacob as Special Education, a teacher should first look as his cultural considerations. It is important for Jacob’s teacher to assess his situation in order to make sure his language isn’t what is affecting him in reading. One of the main problems with ELL students is that the English language has 15 vowel sounds and Spanish for example only has five (Colorín Colorado, 2017). In addition, when

One the most distinguished artists of the twentieth century, Jacob Lawrence was born in Atlantic City and spnt part of his child hood in Pennsylvania. After his parents split up in 1924, he went with his mother and siblings to New York, settling in Harlem. "He trained as a painter at the Harlem Art Workshop, inside the New York Public Library's 113 5th Street branch. Younger than the artists and writers who took part in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, Lawrence was also at an angle to them: he was not interested in the kind of idealized, fake-primitive images of blacks - the Noble Negroes in Art Deco guise - that tended to be produced as an antidote to the toxic racist stereotypes with which white popular culture had flooded

There are thousands of stories in the Bible, but one stands out in particular; the story of Joseph. The Hebrew meaning of the name Joseph is “may Jehovah add, give increase.”1 Through the life of Joseph we see God add meaning and purpose to his life, just as God adds meaning and purpose to all our lives. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”2 Joseph obediently followed God’s plans through trials and tribulations whereas many other figures in the Old Testament faltered in their faith. Joseph, son of Jacob, is the single most important human being in the Old Testament because of his impeccable faith to the one true God and his story of forgiveness that set the stage for God’s chosen people.
