Reflection On The Book Feed

Chapter 21 of Everyone's An Author with Readings (Andrea Lunsford et al.) focuses on the synthetization of ideas from the author and the referenced work. The sources should be properly cited and tie into your argument or idea. In research based areas it's important to have sources that are able to support your stance. The sources can be from the same viewpoint or from another view. The origin of the sources should be credible in their area of expertise or from a credible source. By balancing both the stated argument can be improved. The chapter then gives an example of a Synthesis. War, Cartoons, and Society: Changes in Political Cartoons between World War II and the Iraq War by Julia Landauer is an essay from her second year writing course at Stanford University. It first starts by referencing a relative cartoon then tying it into the effects and uses of such cartoons. However, the chapter cuts it off as the essay starts to bring out the main questions it's analyzing.

In the twelfth chapter of Thomas C. Foster’s How to Read Literature Like a Professor, Foster provides various information on how to identify symbols throughout literature. The chapter stressed the individuality of identifying symbols, Foster mentions multiple times that “every reader’s experience of every work is unique, largely because each person will emphasize various elements to different degrees” (110). After learning this and also having read Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, one thing that stood out was that the main character, Oskar, only has and only wears white clothes. Not only does Oskar often reference his various white clothes, including the white scarf that Grandma knitted

The book “Among the Hidden” is a great book about a kid name Luke who is a third child who is not allowed to be seen, so his parents hide him in the attic. The police and the people so they don’t kill Luke. So, they hide him in the attic for his own safety. Then Luke thinks his neighbor The Sports family have a third child Jen. In the book “Among the Hidden” Luke changes a lot from the beginning of the book to the end.

Recently I’ve learned that reading is a crucial part of life. Reading allows you to go on unbelievable adventures that you could only dream about. Bryce Shoemaker, author of “The Not So Lonely Good Company of Books” and Richard Rodriguez, author of “The Lonely, Good Company of Books” write about their experience with reading and writing the way they’ve surpassed their struggles. I personally can relate to both of their experiences with having a difficult time reading at a young age. Despite the fact that both of the authors had the opportunity to have a special teacher help him during school and I did not, we still had other common similarities. Having the resources such plenty of books at home and someone to encourage you to read on your own time such as a parent does not

Next, I will reflect on the effect of using the approaches we discussed above. This will be addressed in three main points: what does the literary lens that I used most often allow me to notice in literature, what are the drawbacks to using this lens so frequently, and how much my engagement with literature would’ve changed if I had used more of the intertextual lens that I used the least.

JoI read Blogging about Books: What We Can Learn From Our Students by Brittany M. Albaugh (2013) because it is more relevant to me as a high school ELA teacher. Albaugh (2013) noted the increased use of technology by her students and formulated a plan to use blogging in the ELA classroom. The action research was an intentional change in her practice, but it was well documented and measured to ensure accurate findings. Albaugh (2013) collected many pieces of evidence to show student improvement as a result of blogging in the classroom and she concluded that "... students ... thrived while blogging"(p.5).

The memoir I am reading is set in several parts of Melbourne including in St Francis’ Church, Sandridge Port (now known as Port Melbourne), Merri Creek, the Plenty District, Richmond, Talbot and Back Creek goldfield. It also mentions other places in Australia which are outside of Melbourne such as Darebin Creek, Erindale, and Penola.

Hello Karyl, thank you for sharing with your thoughtful ideas, I totally agree with you with the three key concepts in the book you point out. On the one hand, Efficient communication is the key to understanding patients as well as get ideal outcomes from the patients. On the other hand, every healthcare provider along with the patients have the same goal for medicine treatment and therapy. All people evolved in the healthcare team should aware of this goal, and try their best to achieve this goal. Actually I really love the third point, which is that we should treat the patients differently according to their background and health conditions. Personally I am very fond of precision medicine, or called personalized medicine. Practitioners who

In the article, “Textbooks Enter the Digital Era” A university student Jason Turgeon, realized there had to be a cheaper way to acquire textbooks. So in 2005 he started textbookrevolution.org., which links students with free digital textbooks on the Web. Turgeon then explains what the textbooks of the future may look

The shared book reading program is a teacher-directed literacy program designed to allow the educator the opportunity to model developing comprehension, alphabetics, and general reading achievement skills. The program aligns with the CCSS in that is focuses on the development of comprehension, alphabetics, and general reading skills. Furthermore, the program’s flexible design allows the teacher to utlize formative assessment to create targeted lessons focused on group and individual achievement (Common Core State Standards Initiative, 2012).. Additionally, teachers are encouraged to use open-ended questions as well as student’s background knowledge to engage leaners during the lesson. The program encourages the use of quality trade literature

On class SWK 319 we got to read Having My Say from Delany sisters and Hearth A. book. In the last day of class, we saw the movie of the same title. Now I will talk about the differences and the similarities of both, book and movie. It was very interesting to read the book and while reading I was imagining how they look, the place and the way they father talked to them all. The book was long in my opinion and was little confusing because it was back and forth. I have heard that sometimes the book is better than the movie, maybe because the movie doesn’t cover much of the information in the book. I really wanted to see the movie because it is the first time on read a book and then watch a movie. I was expecting to see everything that I read in the book, but it didn’t happen.

2. Redish suggests various way that web site headlines can capture and retain an online audience. The American Red Cross donation pages can be a good example of the seven guidelines that Redish puts forth when writing effective headlines (https://www.redcross.org/donate/donation). The author mentioned that titles such as Caroline Jarrett’s “Piggy in the Middle” did not collect nearly as many views as the headline entitled, “Sentence or Title Case for Labels”. Not only is the latter more clearcut for a user to understand but undoubtedly appeared on more search results than the vague “Piggy in the Middle”. Likewise, the American Red Cross donation page has a clear headline that clearly foreshadows the content. It reads: “Change Lives with

I sat in my fourth grade classroom staring at the bookshelf when suddenly I caught a glimpse of a dark blue book with a heroic being on the front. I lifted the heavy book and began reading Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief. As soon as I started I fell into this mythical world where gods, monsters, and heroes all existed. It was a rollercoaster through my emotions. The thrill. The suspense. The surprising new book had a grasp on me, to stop reading it would be difficult. I felt attached. As soon as I started, I finished. Devastated, my chase of this feeling has never stopped, no other book has given me the same fulfillment as Percy Jackson: The Lightning Thief. As a young reader I would love to find the same joy and thrill (as I did back

So, since this is like in another world from Reawakened, i don’t have to recap that book. The book has a very quick pace, it jumps from chapter to chapter rapidly and you usually need to read some twice because sometimes you’re like ‘uhhh… what just happened again?’. It starts with Kells applying for a job at the circus just to get some money for college. The circus has, guess what, a white tiger!! What a surprise. She slowly makes a connection with this tiger, reading her favorite poems and occasionally drawing him. The cursed tiger then can randomly shift into a human (only for 30-25 minutes of course). He asks the manager of the circus to call Mr. Kadam, who quickly goes over to Oregon and buys the tiger, persuading Kelsey to come with him

Writing has always been something I dread. It’s weird because I love talking and telling stories, but the moment I have to write it all down on paper, I become frantic. It’s almost as if a horse race just begun in my mind, with hundreds of horses, or words, running through my mind, unable to place them in chronological order. Because I struggle to form satisfying sentence structure, it takes me hours, sometimes even days, to write one paper. It’s not that I think I’m a “bad writer,” I just get discouraged easily. Needless to say, I don’t think highly of my writing skills. When I was little I loved to both read and write. I read just about any book I could get my hands on, and my journal was my go to for my daily adventures. Although it’s
