Presently there is a rising number of English Language Learners (ELLs) entering into classrooms all over the country. According to the three research studies that I utilized, there are several varied assessment approaches for teaching ELLs in reading (Davis-Lenski, Ehlers-Zavala, Daniel, & Sun-Irminger, 2006; Dreher, & Letcher-Gray, 2009; Ebe, 2010). English Language Learners (ELLs) consistently struggle with some aspects of reading because, they lack background knowledge in terms of the generalized text selections, which they are often given (Davis-Lenski, Ehlers-Zavala, Daniel, & Sun-Irminger, 2006; Dreher, & Letcher-Gray, 2009; Ebe, 2010). The data across all three journal documents agrees that there is an achievement gap where ELLs

In a time where manufacturing and the constant yearning for betterment was at an all-time high in America, many reformers brought light to a situation that was seemingly overlooked by the Americans it did not directly affect: child labor. Florence Kelley, one of these reformers, delivered a speech at the National American Woman Suffrage Association in 1905 highlighting her issues with the lives young children forced into factory labor had to live. In her emotion-driven speech, Kelley adds significance to her argument by using parallel syntax and creating a very confrontive tone through her direct diction.

When I was in the second grade we had a new student in our class named Yvonne. Yvonne had recently arrived from Haiti and knew very little English. Due to the fact that she didn’t understand English a whole lot, the other kids in my class thought it would be funny to call her names and bully her. One day we were at electives. Our class was divided into two, some going to Dance others going to Drama. The doors were across from each other so we could see what was happening. I was in Dance, as well as Yvonne. We were practicing our routine for Ciara’s “1, 2 step”. Yvonne was quick to pick up the dance and was amazing at it, which I think made the other kids in our class resent her. Our instructor dismissed us 5 minutes early to pack up our things. I quickly went to my corner and grabbed my backpack. When I looked up I saw a bunch of girls surrounding Yvonne. I remember hearing them calling her names like ‘ugly’ and ‘loser’. I noticed that no one moved to defend her. One of the girls actually pushed her to the ground and took her backpack dumping all her things on the floor; that’s when I acted. I pushed my way through the girls and placed myself in front of Yvonne. I grabbed her backpack out of the girl’s hand pushed her and called her a ‘mean witch for making fun of Yvonne’. I also told the other girls that if they messed with Yvonne, they would have to

Yet, his education about the hazards that occur in life grew tremendously, as Huck now understands how man’s cruelty towards others are most responsible for the much of the ugliness he encountered. His new found learning still seems a bit twisted to him, however, as the society in which he lives teaches that slavery is lawful while the Bible teaches brotherhood and love. The hypocrisy he comprehends ends up confirming what Huck has valued all along: so-called civility is but a gesture, one which he cannot abide. Thus, Huck goes west in attempts to escape the trappings and dangers of civility; yet, as seen in today’s world, the hypocrisy is inescapable. The west has developed, and with the development, the cruelty, hypocrisy and dangers has risen to even greater heights. In the land of the free and equal, people are shunned because of their ethnicities or religious affiliations; people shoot other people with automatic weapons; homelessness thrives alongside wealth and prosperity. And just as Huckleberry Finn struggled to separate his deformed conscience from his sound heart, humans must wrestle to find compassion in their hearts, reform their consciences, and juxtapose their hearts and consciences to guide them to righteous

This portfolio has show my progress in many different ways. The biggest way is my rhetorical knowledge has been increased because of the sources we have had to read especially in this last unit when we had to use the UW database.

1) Display and use cultural diverse equipment and resources within the service like choice of music to play and storybooks to read. 2) Avoid making assumptions or unintentionally creating labels as this will demonstrate to the children that discriminatory and bias comments are acceptable. It is likely to reflect badly on the children, to others and to the wider community . It will not only set a poor example to the children, but more crucially, it will engrave incorrect ways of speaking and behaving in society. 3) Make a conscious effort to use language that is not bias, will not divide students unnecessarily and is inclusive. For example, "Okay everyone..." is less likely to reinforce gender divisions than "Okay, boys and girls..." 4) ) Do not ignore discriminatory behaviour by making it clear that you will not tolerate any offensive, racial, ethnic, religions, sexual jokes, slurs or behaviours.

Language has changed tremendously over the years which can be seen by the dwindling use of sophisticated vocabulary due to the fact that vocabulary used by other people has an influence on what words other people tend to use. Also, a person with higher authority, like the current President of the United States, language can cause a whole country filled with three hundred million people to say exactly what that person with power is saying. This is due to the fact that the leader has tremendous support which in result causes people to want to be like him/her. This changes their use of vocabulary which can cause an epidemic. In the case of President Trump, his simplified and overstated language is a true example of why sophisticated vocabulary

David Foster Wallace’s essay regarding language and the usage of the English language in America captured my attention from the beginning. Through several gasps of humor and wording geared toward an audience of intellectual scholars, Wallace’s stance on language was raw and honest – nothing was held back that he thought important.

In the book, George Orwell’s 1984, the author conveys the negligence of thinking in chapter one of the book. The big brother which refers to the government reinforce the negligence of reading and thinking in this new language of Newspeak, which the Party has introduced to replace English. The ultimate goal of this language Newspeak is to benefit the Party in power and authority over citizens voices. The concept of Newspeak language is gain control and conversely ultimate goal is to conceptualize anything that might question the Party’s absolute power. The consequences of committing such crimes of thinking results in death.

In Jorge Luis Borges’ short story “The Library of Babel”, the author depicts the entire universe in the form of a mysterious and intricate “Library.” The author gives life to the library by describing the fruit- like “bulbs” that emit light, as well as a vestibule which contains two compartments for “sleeping and satisfying one’s physical necessities.” (Borges 112) This library is lined with “an infinite number of hexagonal galleries,”(Borges 112) containing bookshelves with an immeasurable amount of books. However, most of these books are indecipherable, and therefore, meaningless. Borges’ characterization of the library leads the reader to believe that he is alluding to the numerous books of the Bible. He questions the Bible’
