Keep Reading Log Analysis

In the Hip Hop culture the song “Keep Ya Head Up”, was one of the first rap songs to bring up touchy issues about black woman. The rapper 2pac touches upon a lot of the issues we are learning about and the song also relates to the three step process that Craig Warner associates with gospel. In Chapter 1 of Understanding African American Aspects in Hip-Hop Cinema, it states that gospel music affirms “A belief that life's burdens can be transformed into hope, salvations , the promise of redemption.” While listening to the song I was able to break down the meaning using the three step process that Craig Warner associates with gospel. “(1) acknowledging the burden; (2) bearing witness; (3) finding redemption. The burden grounds the song in the history of suffering that links individual and community experience.” With this i was able to connect and vibe with the song and i will tell you how below.

Reading logs have no point. They keep time of reading, but who CARES? Not me, obviously. Only because my kindle

know what they want them to know. In “Should Parents be held morally and legally responsible

I feel we should not have reading logs. We should just assign pages for a book that were reading or any book you just have to read that many pages. I like reading, i read when i’m bored or before bed but reading log don’t have a point. When you assign pages you don’t have to worry about people not read because they won't know the book the next day when you're reading in they won’t know the page.

The importance of fitness during the teens years is the most important thing in a teens life, during your teen years your metabolism slows down by how old you get. As a kid your metabolism was fast, that's why most kids were active during those years but once you start going to school it starts to decrease. " Children in school for example were most active from 2pm to 6pm, which could reflect the fact that they are sitting in a classroom for most of the day until mid afternoon" (Park 5). Also "Kids may not be getting much exercise because they are not getting enough sleep and are too tired to be physically active" (Park 5). Kids probably don't get enough sleep due to cell phones, video games, and eating sugar at night causing

All participated parents will be asked to sign a confidentiality agreement at the start of the program to maintain anonymity and confidentiality of all discussions within the group. The parent group's cohesiveness and effectiveness will be affected if trust is broken, in which case this will be addressed and strengthened immediately, with the exception of suspected child abuse.

Too slow. Can’t keep up. Only 12 pages, did you give up? First grade is when the torture began, and when I mean torture, I mean reading logs. Reading logs were my biggest nightmare; my teacher would make me read for a certain amount of time and I would have to have my parents sign off saying that I actually read. In the beginning, I didn’t mind reading, I had enjoyed it in the past when my dad would read me a daily story before I went to bed. When I had to keep reading everyday for at least twenty minutes, I became tired of it really fast, and I began to dread it. I would push it off everyday until I went to bed as if hoping if I didn’t do it before bed then, I wouldn’t have to do it at all, but it never vanished. I typically enjoyed the books

Children should write about real life reasons. (Romei, 2009) It could be as simple as signing in for attendance, making a list, writing notes, writing letters that express feelings, journal writing, monthly newsletter writing, literature writing, or drawing. “Reading and writing skills develop simultaneously and are interconnected. Progress in one fuels development of the other.” (Caulkins, 1986)

Her parents are concerned and seem to be willing to compromise if something can be proposed. Principal Tom needs to use the humanistic frame of reference combined with the political frame of reference for his next approach, and talk to the parents and the teacher together to develop a compromise between the two. Mrs. Rachael can allow Molly to take the test for a grade lower. This approach will give the parents empowerment to feel as though they were part of the solution.

In the article “10 Benefits of Reading: Why You Should Read Every Day”, Lana Winter-Hebert expands on the ten benefits of reading, which include mental stimulation, stress reduction, vocabulary expansion, and more. She made an analogy saying “reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body”, and she proves this theory in her writing. When reading a book, all of your attention and focus are in on that book and you tend to forget all about your worries and personal problems, so reading is initially reducing stress levels and brings about inner peace and tranquility. Reading can additionally help you in your future life. Studies have proved that staying mentally stimulated can delay or even prevent diseases like Alzheimer’s and dementia.

The most important reading benefit in my opinion is knowledge; Knowledge is considered to be priceless and lasts forever. A British writer by the name of Laurence Sterne once said, “ The desire of knowledge, like the thirst for riches, increases ever with the acquisition of it.” This is what allowed us to progress farther than any other species. The continuous zest and hunger for knowledge is what drives mankind to keep going and looking for more.

Analysing Ms.Nancy’s kindergarten handwriting lessons, we can conclude that they are completely developmentally inappropriate. She expects children of the age of four years to copy sentences from storybooks to lined paper for 90 minutes without a break, informing parents that it is developmentally appropriate because an educated person is required to have these skills. This suggests that she does not account for the next 13 years of formal education, where students will develop skills to make them an “educated person”. Furthermore we must analyse the reason that Ms. Nancy is assigning this task to her students. With her suggestion that it’s a skill appropriate for an educated person then we can assume that her reason has an academic link. This

I fell in love with these logs last year because students were required to ask questions, came to class with a whole sheet of items they could use to participate with, and began putting more thought into their actual reading processes. Ultimately, this coincided with a tremendous jump in standardized test scores, which was another perk of this process. Though these scores are important, the increased engagement and reading and class participation was really the motivator for bringing these logs back. (McCoy Carey,

I agree with Goodman’s argument since a kid needs privacy like their parents had when they were younger
