1.) How does the main character (or main characters) exemplify someone with gifted abilities?
I chose the movie “Hidden Figures”. This exemplifies women mathematicians that work for NASA with gifted abilities. After reading different articles in this class, gifted is defined as having exceptional talent or natural ability. The article “Renzulli's Three-Ring Conception of Giftedness” states that “Renzulli considers three factors important for the development of gifted behavior: Above average ability, creativity, and task commitment.” These women had all three abilities. Katherine Johnson, a brilliant mathematician in this movie was able to be creative and calculate the launch coordinates and trajectory needed to launch U.S. astronaut John Glenn into outer space. Dorothy Vaughan creatively finds a way to teach herself how to program. Mary Jackson, another NASA employee became an engineer.

I think intelligence along with the creativity allowed these traits to be dismissed. “The article “Creativity as an Elusive Factor in Giftedness”, “stated that creativity is elusive precisely because like intelligence it has many different manifestations, conceptions, and interpretations. Because the women of colored had these gifted abilities they were treated as unworthy. Their jobs and promotions were in jeopardy. 3.) What are the various perspectives of other characters in the movie when relating to this character (these characters)?
The other characters in the movie thought these women were strange, worthless and didn’t know what they were doing. These women were always doubted and questioned about their work and abilities.
4.) Think of a student (or former student) that reminds you of the main character(s) exhibiting giftedness in this movie. Reflect on possible actions that you or others involved with this student could take that would be
Throughout the film, many stories are told by different characters that are involved in the story. There are

I observed Julie Tolbert’s gifted third, fourth, and fifth grade classes. The kids in each class were mainly girls but only by a few numbers. Each child had a different learning style, and while they are all in a gifted class some were slower than others with each subject. A child that did really well in the science part of the day might struggle more in the social studies part of the day. Julie would accommodate each learning style to the best of her ability seeing as her ratio was normally
Reality is what you can comprehend around you and is different for each individual. The “social construction of reality” is a theory about how our “reality” or individuality is shaped by our interactions with the surroundings we live in, which is the society. In other words, how you are raised and the experiences you have along the way help to shape how we recognize the outside world. The society and culture we live in teach us this “reality” at a young age through schools, media outlets like television, and even through our own families.
The myths that surround being gifted and a female can be extremely daunting. For example, if a female is extremely smart its often thought that she must live in recluse. Hidden away from the mainstream in some cold dank basement and avoiding of any type of social life and generally works in a lab or library. She will also be given attributes like shyness, clumsiness, and over all uncertainness in making decisions outside of an academic field. If a female is physically gifted seemingly stronger than her male counter parts she is then attributed with characteristics of masculinity. She’s too rough around the edges has to be tamed by a man. The prospects of finding a mate are dramatically lessened. She shy’s away from other female interaction because she feels out of place or too “boyish”. Now if a female is attractive with naturally exaggerated features an above
The purpose of the evaluation process is to determine whether the program objectives are being accomplished, to provide data for program development, and to ascertain whether the program has affected the student progress. Through the evaluation process in this gifted plan, formative and summative are to be used to gather data. Formative assessment is the process of collecting information about the programs while it is in progress in order to make better developments. Summative assessment is the process of making judgments about all the components of the program (Purcell, Eckert, & National Association for Gifted Children (U.S.), 2006).
Describe each of the interpersonal relationships, as they occur within each film. During the course of the movie their several interpersonal relationships that take place. The first relationship was between the author, P.L. Travers and her father. She is daddies little girl and she idolizes her father until his untimely death. The second interpersonal relationship is between the Travers, which is troubled due to the fathers drinking and unstable work history. The third relationship is between the Travers and her driver Ralph. This relationship is important because of the bond that they establish with each other. The fourth relationship is between Walt Disney and P.L. Travers, which is troublesome because of the many
It shows the complexity of the varying perspectives in society and the way it can have a profound effect on the path that a community decides to follow: a path like war over peace. These perspectives are best understood using the Interpretivist point of view. In order to understand the plot and the events that take place in the movie, it is important that viewers first understand the motivations and inspirations of why one character makes a certain choice over another. By understanding the importance placed on social reality by the characters, viewers can get a full and complete experience when viewing such a
Many people are of the opinion that special education programs for gifted children are an unnecessary burden on tightly-budgeted and under-funded school systems, but this is actually far from the truth. The gifted are perhaps the most neglected group of special needs children in almost every school district. Because many people assume that the gifted do not need extra attention, gifted programs are often the first program to be cut when budgets are reduced, but I suggest that they be the last to go. These children have profound talents and are just as deserving of extra attention as children who are physically or mentally handicapped.
The connotation associated with the only two women in the play is because back then, they did not believe that women could do
In this post, I will only talk about the main two characters in the book. Now there are many other characters I could write about but these two are in my opinion the main characters you need to know for a better understanding of the book’s story.
Criteria 1: This criteria is being met because it states “the gifted students’ curriculum in their regular classrooms is the same as that delivered to other students in their classroom” (program guide). However, it needs to be made sure that they have mastered the information before the students have left the classroom to then have enrichment material during the pull out session. Another alternative that the school could use, is the students are pulled out during the same subject but are able to do the material at a more accelerated pace, resulting in a more enriched curriculum which challenges the gifted students.
Gifted is a story of a 7-year-old math genius named Mary (Mckenna Grace) torn in the middle of a custody battle between an overbearing grandmother and her borderline deadbeat uncle. Mary’s mother committed suicide shortly after she was born and her Uncle Frank(Chris Evans) wants her to live a normal everyday life. Her grandmother Evelyn (Lindsay Duncan) however, wants Mary to follow in her mother footsteps and work to capitalize on her math talents. If they both realized earlier that doing a bit of both was completely manageable, it would have saved them 7 years of animosity and a buttload of lawyer fees. But I guess there wouldn’t have been much of a story that way. There is a not so subtle theme of wealth privilege displayed as Rural Florida takes on Upper-Class
(2) Describe scenes in support of your two chosen characters, be sure to consider if your choices match the above. Give a reason why you think the two you choose "provide" communication.
Women: the mother of all nations, the true rulers of the world, the love of all mankind, and the spiritual troopers to all the soldiers. The essence of every woman is to help raise and nurture mankind. A women is the backbone to every man, child, and women. When you fall down, she picks you up, dusts you off, and sends you back on your way, hopefully on the right path. It’s best to trust a women’s intuition because she will one day become a mother and a mother is always right; it is the knowledge the Lord sent her on the Earth with. Even though, the women characters are not the stars of Uncle Tom’s Children or A Lesson before Dying, they still had a major impact on the main character(s) spiritually, mentally, and emotionally.
