Introduction:
There is an old proverb which states: “Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Teach him how to fish and he eats for a lifetime”. Applied to the language teaching and learning field, this proverb might be interpreted to mean that if students are provided with answers, the immediate problem is solved. But if they are taught the strategies to work out the answers for themselves, they are empowered to manage their own learning. Show and Tell activity which is,a whole-class sharing activity in which one learner after another gets up, takes the centre stage, and talks about something of his or her own choice often some objects brought from home, is one of those modern

But why show and tell? Because it is “A chance for children to think ‘out of the box’ a little and invite their teacher and classmates to come into their own little World for several minutes”. Students come up for several minutes but these minutes do much for him. From 3 main sides, they are pedagogical; metacognitive and self- regulated learning. First of all the pedagogical side. As Luca Onnis showed in his article that some students “... adopt the memory strategy depend on their memorizing ability” adding that “Adopting this strategy will allow the learning and retrieval via sounds (e.g., rhyming), images (e.g., a mental picture of the word itself or the meaning of the word), a combination of sounds and images (e.g., the keyword method), body movement (e.g., total physical response), mechanical means (e.g., flashcards), or location” while through this activity students will have the chance to do all of these practices together in which they will prepare a list of new vocabulary and they need to put an effort to be prepared along with the toys they want or the pictures or the costumes which help reflecting their thoughts and their own world. While a research done by Education equip showed that this activity improves the relationship between the students because students will be more engaging when one of their classmates is taking better than when their teacher is taking. Which is confirmed by Pui Ching who participated in ‘show and tell’ experience for two years to address the changes he see on his students saying that ‘that this would build their listening and speaking skills. And I’m quoting some of the changes that he realized “ Children have become more confident of speaking English in front of their classmates, they did not always have the language, but they tried their best to express themselves, they made an effort to understand what their
This is your VP of Membership, Deven Kimoto, and I just want to congratulate you all for making it through 5 months both into the 2016-2017 school year and with Key Club. Keep up the hard work!
Sports movies are knows as blockbuster movies. Sports movies are know for there monologues. A monologue is a long speech by one actor in a play or movie, or as part of a theatrical or broadcast program. Coach Gary Gaines, in the movie “Friday Night Lights” has a speech called “Being Perfect”. “Being Perfect” is a very powerful, emotional, and motivating speech. This speech is not your normal locker room speech. “Being Perfect’s” purpose is to inform the players and others that it doesn't take much just to feel good about yourself.
“The Atlanta Exposition Speech” by Booker T. Washington, “The Talented Tenth” but W.E.B. DuBois, and “The Negro’s Place in American Life at the Present Day” by T. Thomas Fortune were written during the end of the nineteenth century when African Americans were faced with great challenges on a range of different levels. These documents are very like one another considering they are all addressing the same issues, but I also feel like each of them are unique from one another because of the person who wrote them. Washington focuses more on an industrial education so the blacks can go to school. He has the whites to believe that it will also affect them and make things better for them at the time and that they will

I saw you walking. I hear this phrase nearly every school day that has been preceded by a relatively nice weather. I love walking, I love taking my girls on walks, and I love being outside in spite of being allergic to all things growing and green... and dust. There are many reasons I love walking that stem from my childhood. My grandfather was a man who went for a walk every day.
A. Attention Getter: How many people in this room own or have owned an IPod, IPhone, or IPad? Isn’t astounding how one man’s vision and innovation gave us all devices that have made the world today more connected than it’s ever been? Devices we NOW can’t imagine leaving behind when we walk out the front door in the morning. Whether it’s listening to music in your bedroom, reading the news on the train ride to work, checking your email at home or even sitting in a waiting room watching Netflix. It’s hard to deny the influence and impact that Steve Jobs has had on modern culture.
Purpose: After listening to my speech, the audience will be more educated on Texas’s roadside attractions, as well as relate to the sites I will discuss in my presentation.
Create a 5-6 minute presentation using PowerPoint visuals. Make sure your PowerPoint follows the guidelines discussed in class. The purpose of the presentation should be to inform the audience. Your presentation should reflect a topic, theme, or issue relevant to your major. For ideas of topics, you may consider looking at issues of Crains’ Chicago, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg BusinessWeek, The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, cnn.com, The Huffington Post, NPR.org, Slate, Wired, or industry-specific papers/journals in your area of study.

Transition signal: In conclusion, the next time you fill up your gas tank might not be cheaper, but at least you will know why you are paying more for gas.
Adults need to demonstrate things many times and in multiple different ways so children can fully understand and use the language of their culture. Going into this classroom I was amazed how many different ways that my teacher demonstrates things during the language arts block. When they are doing handwriting, she demonstrates on the whiteboard and document camera how to do it and she also helps demonstrates how to make letters on their paper itself so it is easier to copy and learn how to make. She also does handwriting with chalkboards. They use chalk, a wet sponge and a piece of paper towel to make their letters on the chalkboard and she does it as they are doing it. Also when they have their zoo phonics mats out and have to match their zoo friends on the mat and sound and signal, she does it right alongside them. When they read their little letter books, she is right alongside them putting her finger under the text and showing them how to
This portion of the Play Project was done back at Wendell Johnson. We met with Jihan and the teacher aides to discuss what we thought was working well in their classroom, and our suggestions to further facilitate language development. Since the last reflection, our goal was to come up with strategies the teachers could use to continue to promote language development for their children. Me and my other group members tried to attain this goal by providing handouts and examples of strategies that we thought would be helpful for the teachers. We used the acronym FIGS (Fill in the blank, Interactive Play, Gestures, and Speak) to help them remember the strategy. They seemed to respond well to this and thought it was a good way to remember the strategies.
Based on reflection of my micro-teaching I provided learners with the basic instructions on “Boggle puzzle” and opted for potential instruction strategy. I used present, practice and produce strategy (English language resource, 2017) to allow pupils to practice and learn new vocabulary in co-operative way. Similarly, I used co-operative learning method to encourage pupils to learn from each other and gain interpersonal skills. According to Johnson and Johnson (1995) co-operative learning method have proven effective in increasing motivation, self-esteem and problem solving. Thus, to enhance inter dependency, the class was divided into two main groups of fours and were further divided into pairs, to finish their task. According to Mercer (1985) effective communication is as cognitive and social development are intertwined,
