Selection And Rational : Selection / Rational

Criminals have been committing crimes for centuries, and they are always fooling the police detectives and federal agencies sometimes. If the justice departments would actually look at the persons thought processes and reasoning before a crime is committed, the justice departments will be able to answer the reason for the crime. The different departments could possibly figure out why the criminal did what they did in the first. For instance, they should use a couple of criminology theories to help them with certain cases that are more difficult than the rest. The theories that the justice departments should use in their systems are the rational choice and biological theories of criminology.

The teacher was instructed to teach the learner a series of word pairs which would be used to test the learners’ memory. The teacher would then read one

I gathered student written inventories and held personal interviews and conversations with students and their families in order to help my students grow and mature in their vocabulary usage. This information told me they value who they are and what motivates them so I could design innovative practices and utilize proven methods of vocabulary instruction that promote learning for all my students.

Another example I would use, would be a picture of 'Peter Rabbit' running, which could be an illustration of the vocabulary words 'wandered' or 'scampered'. During the reading of the story 'Peter Rabbit', I will point to the vocabulary word in the pocket chart and ask my students, 'what is this word'? and we will say it together; example: 'Trembling'. I would then ask the students a comprehension question like; 'What was Peter Rabbit doing'? A students response could be; 'Peter Rabbit was trembling with fright'.

To initiate the grade word list portion of the reading inventory, Jerry Johns, Basic Reading Inventory, form A was utilized. Since Lauren is in fourth grade, the second grade list was identified as the starting point for her assessment. Impacted by her avoidance of reading, her frustration level was identified at the fifth grade level.

In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting the Rational Choice Theory(s) and the Trait Theory(s). We will start with the history of the two theories and progress toward some of the individual principles in the theories. Next step will be explaining how each theory contributes to criminal behavior. My closing paragraph will conclude the essay as well as give detailed information on how society punishes the crimes committed.

For the second assessment, we chose a level 2 story. This story had more words on each page, but the picture on every page still matched up with the words. We used the same process for assessment as last time, so that Eloise would recognize the process and remain comfortable in the situation. As before, Eloise was excited to demonstrate her reading abilities to us, but she was disoriented because she had expected to be rereading the same story. However, once she began to read the new story, she realized that she was capable of reading this

Informal assessment of vocabulary will happens during and after the students read the text aloud.

The passage the student scored the lowest on was Going to Family Camp with a score of 26%. To help the student’s fluency I would like to do three activities. The first is a fluency Practice: Roll and Read. The student will roll a dice. If she rolled one she would read the passage under one. Each passage has around 26 words and are comical and goofy. After reading a passage

When it comes to Evolution I do not really have an opinion. I am not very religious. I do believe ‘something’ is out there, but there is not enough evidence for me to believe in one thing or another. I have read articles that seem to prove an idea of Evolution to me; Charles Darwin’s theories, but I am still not completely certain. I need to see or feel real evidence. I cannot trust or completely believe in something by just reading an article.

The hypothesis that is more congruent with the logic of natural selection theory would be the hypothesis that the queen pheromone acts as a way for the queen to control the workers and ensure that they continue working for her. Natural selection theory states that individuals differ in their traits and these differences are correlated to differences in reproduction. The queen uses her pheromone to control the workers to help her which allows the queen to continue reproducing at a high rate. This means that the queen is increasing her direct fitness as a result of increased reproduction. On the other hand, the workers have reduced their levels of fitness because they are not producing offspring and are working to increase the queen’s fitness.

This class observation is from a video of a second grade English class in Atlanta, Georgia. The video is from 2010 and features Ms. Wiggins teaching her students vocabulary words. Ms. Wiggins’s goal was for her students to understand the meaning of the vocabulary words, and to reach that meaning themselves. Rather than giving direct definitions, she guided the class to the correct answers. Although not specified, this video was probably taken during the middle or end of the year. This can be inferred by the automatic responses students had to specific prompts from their teacher, as well as the smooth classroom procedures.

The rational choice perspective is a great way of understanding society and larger systems. When I read in our book how human behavior is based on self-interest and rational choices about effective ways to accomplish goals (Hutchison, 2008, p. 46), my past interactions made so much more sense. This is because human interaction involves trade of social resources, such as love, approval, information, money, and physical labor (Hutchison, 2008, p. 46).

Empiricism is based from sensory experience and observed facts. This view emphasizes that “scientific knowledge can be derived only from sensory experience” (Alligood, 2014, p. 15). Examples of sensory experience are seeing, feeling and hearing facts. This approach is labeled the research-then-theory strategy. An example that Alligood provides is that “formulating a differential diagnosis requires collecting the facts and then devising a list of possible theories to explain the facts” (2014, p. 16). Empiricists believe that reason alone does not give knowledge (Markie, 2017).

Objective: Students will listen for a word then cover the correct picture when playing vocabulary bingo.
