Reflection Paper On Our Team Les

History records show an understanding for whether that be liberal arts, critical thinking or just studying the past. In the article, “A Future for the Liberal Arts,” by Jacques Barzun, talks about the need to see history from top to bottom for society. To appreciate the liberal arts, people must understand the importance of history and what effects history has on imagination through the liberal art prospective. Citizens should understand the purpose of artifacts and historical evidence behind a painting. History is more than just words, it paints a picture, not only does it tell us where to go, but rather give us

Team work in schools is important as it’s a development not only for you but also for others. It helps to build a positive relationship with those that are within your team, as well as showing that there is support for one another within the structure. When there is team work, responsibilities and tasks are shared and are completed more effectively and also in a good time scale. Each member or person has their own skill and or expertise, communicating with them helps you to learn, build up your own knowledge and know your own responsibilities. Communication is an invaluable tool in team work; you can ask for advice or even give advice about certain subjects or topics, as well as

Sam Wineburg’s Thinking Like a Historian is a well thought out document about the importance of not simply memorizing the facts of history but encouraging students to learn and discover history themselves thought primary sources. I agree with Sam on the importance of students using logic and discovery skills instead of just memorizing facts. When I discover something myself it makes it more personal and easy to relate to than just being lectured at. I found it interesting that many historians argue over the meaning of facts and the intentions of historical figures. The goal of historical thinking is to teach students to second guess their first opinion when reading a document and to think for themselves.

Every decent argument is backed by evidence. In “The Naked Source,” Linda Simon argues that students should learn history by interpreting primary sources. Simon supports her argument that students should confront primary sources to better learn history by using ethos, logos, structure, and tone.

I am going to be looking at and discussing how to improve on my own and team practice. Within this, I will be discussing why it is important to continue with my professional development and why team work is important in schools. I will also be describing why it is important to be respectful of the skills and expertise that others can bring to the team.

The beginning of the chapter two included a section that discussed the dilemma of trying to introduce what is learned in the classroom in the work place. I recently just experience the difficultly of trying to utilize material I am currently learning in my EDPH 502 Individual Learning Differences course, at my fieldwork site. I tried to give feedback to my supervisor of how to improve the Puente program and was given a practical response of the program lacking the resources and a full time staff to monitor sections of the program can be improved at the moment. Collaboration was another topic in Chapter two that connected to me at my current employment as a Student Program Advisor for the USC Trio Educational Talent Search (ETS) Program. Ardoin (2014) mentions how an individual has to be patient when searching for a collaborative project. At the moment I am working on assignments that were given to me, but it was only a few months ago that I was asked to collaborate with other colleagues of mine on a project. The inclusion of being asked to assist with a group project allowed my opinion matter and

“When groups are planned so that each member's strengths have authentic importance to the ultimate success of the group's activity, this creates a situation where individual learning styles, skills, and talents are valued, and students shine in their fortes and learn from each other in the areas where they are not as expert.”(Willis)

fans in the area have always been supportive of all the teams, even in the worst of situations,

“History is the study of any past or present happening or events for which there is physical, written or oral evidence available to substantiate the happenings or events. Some students of history have difficulty with their motivation for the subject because they cannot identify with the personal value of history” (A Guide to Critical Thinking in the Social Studies 1). Clearly, there are many approaches to the study of an era or theme, but those most frequently relied upon in all levels of education are those which seek to present facts, documented from a wide number of sources, primary and secondary, as objectively as possible, a practice which detaches students from their studies and seemingly takes the “story” out of history. Relying upon

In his article, Alexie effectively states the social awareness, and the waste of talent in young people. Also the time of young people by providing, and support this idea from his personal experiences. Sherman Alexie developed the message by pointing out the lack of proper education development, and then by stating personal experiences to alert the school about the social awareness.

As a special needs baseball instructor with Challenger Baseball, I worked closely with children who had mental or physical disabilities. An opportunity such as this challenged me to strengthen my emotional intelligence and recognize the importance of empathy. Halfway through the sessions, I noticed there was an autistic boy whom many of the other volunteers struggled working with as he was known to be recalcitrant and apprehensive. Impelled by his reluctance, I made the intuitive decision to work with the boy and made it my goal to ensure he was having fun. However, ten minutes into our first lesson, the student was hysterical and attempted to return to his mother. Judiciously, I identified key areas that would make him feel more comfortable

Although there are many NHL teams, I think the Kings are the best. If you're wondering what the NHL is, your in the right place. The NHL is the national hockey league. The NHL is composed of two conferences East and West. The Kings are in the Western conference. The Kings are the best team in the NHL because they have great offense, they have great defense and they are the best team to watch.

As the starting point guard for the first dream team I was about to win a gold medal. We started by blowing out teams on an average of 43.8 points a game. Then Croatia came and we won by thirty two points.Our leading scorer was Charles Barkley his aggression towards the opponent was amazing to watch, and that is how he got the most points on the team. He averaged eighteen points a night in which he would play very rough but the game is already rough.

I think the best way to go about teaching history is to try to approach each historical event with objectivity and skepticism. This process described by Haskell allows you to teach your students the value of listening to other people’s opinions, by listening to others you allow yourself to be exposed to new ideas or beliefs. Being skeptical is an important value to install while teaching. Skepticism allows you to question your own historical bias and personal perspectives, having doubt creates the ability to question yourself and be open to new teachings. Although I agree with Haskell’s approach, I also agree with some of Novick’s opinions. I believe that to some point we will never know the real truth in regards to some historical events.

I have met many NFL players when I went to summer camp at Mount Vernon Presbyterian school. I am telling you about when I got a jersey signed by Prince Amukamara.It was a nice summer day at New Era football camp.Where many players like Thomas, Vic Beasley, Ray Rice, AJ, and of course Prince train and play with kids.Every morning you would walk down the stairs and wait on the field until the players were ready.Today they announced that New York Giants cornerback Prince Amukamara has come with 5 blue and white authentic NFL jerseys that were signed and ready to give away.I am a Giants fan and I really wanted to meet Prince Amukamara. Every day you would get different schedules based on your age.I examined the schedule that the Atlanta Falcons outside linebacker Vic Beasley gave me. I realized that Prince Amukamara was my last station.I wondered if he would still have any jerseys towards the end of the day.
