Story Quilt Assignment Analysis

Our midterm for this class was to split into two groups and produce a short film. I have always had a passion for filmmaking and never had the man power to help me make a short film. With this project, we had to write, shoot, and edit a film. Over the two weeks, I put in 27 hours of work. Seeing the final project was the most fulfilling academic experience I’ve had as I could see my group’s hard work and a goal of mine become a reality.

I was not one that I was excited for but I did teach me and reinforce some valuable lessons. For starters I learned that sometimes in life you have to do things in life that you do not necessarily like or want to do. It also gave me a slight taste of the amount of independent work and research I would have to do if I choose to prosue a career in a legislative field. In addition to having to do things I don’t like and giving me a glimps into the future, this project stressed the importance that college is not always about having fun. My overall goal is to graduate and that means that sometimes I may have to miss out on certain events. Most importantly this project let me know that the only thing standing in the way of my success is myself. I can achieve anything that I put my mind to all I have to do is fight the urge to procrastinate and work

This week we read about screening procedures and strategies for students with emotional and behavioral disorders. We also read about evaluating students with EBD for intervention strategies and instructional strategies with the goal of creating a comprehensive behavior intervention plan.

Chapter fourteen is all about enriching the curriculum with music. This is what our lesson plan assignment is trying to teach. There are many standards that teachers have to meet and material that needs covered in the everyday classroom. Music is just another subject that needs planned for. Teachers often need help incorporating it into other lessons. A music specialist like a music teacher is an important resource for teachers to use. A music teacher can share with the teacher or teach to the students songs related to other subjects covered in the regular classroom. A music book series may have a teachers book full of ideas and songs to use. The book also suggested a website called www.songsforteaching.com which is great for finding songs.

Overall, I thought this class was fun and different. I made me realize that I actually do have a creative side to me that I didn’t know before. I always tell everyone that I can’t write poems but now I know that’s not true. I’m proud of the work I did this semester, some poems are better than others that’s true but I liked all of them regardless. I liked that this class was very freeing, because I could write about anything I wanted and that there were no prompts. I don’t think there are any specific improvements that can be made for this class. I did struggle with critiquing the work of others

The week four team assignment is to expand the team’s week two assignment. Week two assignment is the first part of the marketing plan for Meet Singles Now (MSN). The second part of the marketing plan assignment adds decision motivators for target markets, buying behaviors, target market profiles, managing the stages of product life cycle including the tactical plans for each stage of the four P’s (product, price, place, promotion) of the marketing mix. The week four team assignment also requires providing a product mix including features, benefits, that differ from competitive and substitute products. The last requirement of the team assignment is to develop a positioning statement and the reasoning of the positioning

Message: Young students in the classroom can use their choice time/free time to write, paint, and design.  Many students choose to write about thematic studies, others gravitate toward journal writing, and some want to capture moments from field trips or retell favorite pieces

We also worked on Met 101. For my Met 101 this quarter I loved all of the activities that I went to and participated and places that I visited. One of my featured projects was my Soundtrack to my life where we had to choose songs throughout our lives that reminded us of memories. We also had to create a name and cover for the CD and that was one of my favorite parts. These assignments have taught me more about what type of teacher Xico is than anything because it shows how much he would like all of us to succeed to get to know us

The sequencing stories provided by Erin Thompson primary Printable challenges the learner to activate recall and pair her ordinal number skills with text material. My learner will also challenge with making connections to the story with events that have happened in her life or what the learner as witnessed in media or text material. The sequential instructional strategy challenged the learner to create mental images of the story as well as engage in consistent discussions. Additionally, planned supports such as a picture walk forces the child to engage with the story which fosters active

The Challenge work was a great opportunity to get to know each and everyone of my classmates. It involved activities that I never knew even existed like the jump rope challenge and the marble challenge. Each activity required the class to work as a team and to come up with different strategies so that we could move onto the next activity. Even though these lessons were made for fun they each had a purpose. The first few activities like stretches were so that we could get to know our classmates. Then we went onto doing the egg, chicken, and hawk activity, which was also so that we could get to know each other. After that we split into two different groups and got to know them. We started with stories that occurred in our lives. Then moved onto

Initially I felt confident approaching question 16, because I enjoy interpreting data and using algorithms to determine median. However, this changed as I had no prior schemes of leaf and stem tables therefore, I struggled to interpret the key 5|2 = 52. Eventually, I interpreted the key and identified the vertical line as separating the 10s and units and was able to read the table. I applied the key to the table and extracted the relevant mathematical facts (Step 1-2). To confirm I was approaching the question correctly I counted the number of data entries on the table (Step 2).

This creative writing class was a lot of fun and better than I expected it to be. I did not think that I could actually write poems and short stories, but I did. For this class I would definitely say we had great pacing and we had enough time to do everything that was given to us. The 5,000 word story I would say should maybe go more in the middle so that way it doesn’t feel as stressful being in the end of the year. I would say that the short stories should go first, then the 5,000 word story and then the poems. I would say the poems last because they were a little easier to go through because you explained what needed to be done and how to do them very well. You also gave a lot of examples which helped a lot because without the examples

One thing I found especially interesting about the class what when we watched 18 Ways to Make a Baby. It is amazing how far technology has come and what all we are capable of doing to help unfortunate families wanting to bear a child. I was even able to let my Child Development teacher from high school know about the video and now it's something she wants to add to her teaching curriculum. It was also fun making the collage. It took quite some time to do, but I learned so much. I had to go online to look up pictures, and when I did, I stumbled across very interesting information. I was glad we had choices for the assignment. Everyone learns different; some by reading, some by seeing, some by reading, and some by doing. The internet assignments were also something that I enjoyed because it gave me the chance to surf the web to learn more about stuff I had learned in high school. I got to see other people's views and better understand many of the concepts taught in class. I don't really think there were any subjects that were too difficult for me to understand. Most of what I learned was a review of high school Child Development. The main differences were that we didn't take home a fake baby that cried and we went more in

I joined at the SRS consulting Engineers Inc. on 1st October 2015 as a Scientist. The position was advertised as an Aquatic Biologist (yearly: min. $32000 max. $40000, Job bank on 2015-08-18) and I applied for this position, but the company hired me as a scientist, higher position, and the salary range was $21000 - $26000/year, which was different than advertised one. Since the position was different and salary was low from the advertised position, I noticed to the Managing Principal (Phil Fung) on my first day of joining regarding this matter. I also told him, for working as a scientist, I would need a well-equipped lab as well as a good compensation for me. However, after several

This class has taught me a lot about myself in such a brief period of time. I never thought I could dig as deep as I did, and have a better understanding of who I am as a person just by writing a single essay. I was not expecting the amount of self-awareness that I gained through this class. I really enjoyed the hermit crab essays, because they really guided me to find my true feelings. It was hard for me to get started writing at first and then once I got started, it was almost impossible to stop. I love the feeling that I am in control of what I am writing and there are no restrictions and that I can be vulnerable in my writing. This class really helped me show the vulnerable side of who I am. I was sometimes moved to tears while I was writing because, I realized things about myself that I never thought to be true before. I would get so excited that I would read it to my boyfriend, family and friends. This class was in no way easy, but it was definitely worth it for many reasons. I learned how to become a better writer, I learned about myself as a person, and I constructed pieces of writing that I didn’t know I was capable of. Some assignments became easier as time went on because I became a stronger writer. However, I think the hardest one for me was having to write about the room I was in. It didn’t interest me because it didn’t help me dig deeper into my feelings or anything of that matter. I also didn’t enjoy having to respond to different pieces of writing, because it
