When I was 5 I went to Eisenhower elementary my teacher in kindergarten was Mrs. Herbst. All of my teachers were just ok but then in fourth grade I had an awesome teacher named Mrs. dune she gave us an extra recess and just gave us candy if we were good. She had us play with computers if we got are work done.

At 1:00 p.m. I entered into Evoline C. West Elementary school on Thursday, July 12 2012 for an interview with Mrs. Yolanda Lawrence. As I entered the classroom, I was greeted by Mrs. Lawrence, the head teacher in this classroom. Mrs. Lawrence has no assistant at this present because of it being in the summer. After I entered into the classroom, the entire class welcomed me with “hello Ms. Flournoy”. It made my day to see all of those smiley faces greeting me. This was a 2nd grade classroom which consisted of 17 students of which 8 were girls and 9 were boys. This interview and observation was a total of 2

Mr. James C. Boyce was the best and furthermost influential teacher, I have ever had. He was my 6th grade teacher at Kawana Elementary School in Santa Rosa California. Mr. Boyce was the kind of teacher that would drive his students to absorb knowledge while making learning enjoyable and exciting. We could earn Kawana Bucks as a reward for doing extra school work in addition; these would be used for purchasing bizarre school supplies such as pencils and erasers with themes printed on them. Mr. Boyce had methods to engage his pupils accordingly they wanted to learn, even if it was through simple objects like a special eraser.

bring a whole school to its knees and even make teachers squirm.” With this we see the start of a

There were two men who worked together that owned the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory: Max Blanck and Isaac Harris. After the fire, that killed so many worker, it was brought to the public's attention that there were many safety hazards in that now famous building, and that there were many more buildings just like the Asch building. Some of these hazards were narrow hallways and stairwells. The doors opened into the room, which caused problems during the fire as girls pushed so close together and were pressing so hard against these doors, that it took minutes (that they didn’t have to lose) to open them. The fire hose wasn’t even connected to a water source!

He was planning to try a different one when suddenly he smelled a pungent and disgusting odor. James reticently ran over to the area to see what the situation was when he saw a grayish tint of smoke coming from a microwave in the teacher’s lounge. James panicked and grabbed the fire extinguisher to quench the flames but to no avail. He sprinted to the fire alarm, and he pulled down the lever causing the siren to go off. James then ran back to his class to alert everyone about the fire, but as he arrived shouting, “Fire! Fire!”, everyone turned to stare at him in disbelief. “Do you honestly believe we are going to fall for that trick again?” Mr. Wood asked. “Well … this time is serious!” James stuttered. “I will deal with you later, and do me a favor by keeping yourself in the hall.” Mr. Wood replied. James knew he had pulled his pranks, but he didn't understand what he was going to do to make them believe him. James knew he wouldn't be able to convince them, so he darted down to the office to see if he could convince them. They to yelled at him stating what a mischievous child he was and began calling his mother. Before anyone realized about the fire, it had already spread into the hallway. Everyone evacuated safely, but to James disbelief half of the school was gone. He looked at all his classmate and apologized for being dishonest in the past. He understood why they didn't believe a liar, but he just wished he wasn't a liar in the first

As you can see, Albert Marran uses Implicit evidence throughout the excerpt to show how in the 1900’s they didn’t value fire safety standards. In paragraph 2 it states,” Cutters flung buckets of water at the smoking spot, without effect. Flames shot up, igniting the line of hanging paper patterns.”

The students were not allowed to ask questions or expand on topics. In this time period, children are encouraged to be curious and explore the world around them. In the novel, the word firemen is raised multiple times. In contrast from today’s society, firemen like Montag illustrated stingy people who burnt books for the government and for their well being. The firemen would start fires, not extinguish them as said here, “Is it true that long ago firemen put out fires out instead of going to start them?” (Bradbury 6). The firemen would start fires to burn the outlawed books, and they would burn the houses of people that kept books hidden. Another contrast from today’s society, is displayed when the firemen had hoses that squirted kerosene rather than water as stated here, “With the brass nozzle in his fists. . . the great python spitting venomous kerosene.” (Bradbury 1) The firemen would use this kerosene to start fires by hosing the books and houses down in kerosene. Today’s firemen use water to extinguish the fires rather than kerosene to begin them. Despite the differences between the societies, there exists one essential similarity being

I burned at my studies. At the beginning of the school term I read my civics and English and geography volumes through and only referred to them when in class. I solved all my mathematical problems in advance; then, during school hours, when I was not called on to recite, I read tattered, second-hand copies of Flynn’s Detective Weekly of the Argosy All Story Magazine or dreamed, weaving fantasies about cities I had never seen and about people I had never met. (Wright 133)

It was a fine day in the What Not to Do Laboratory. Everything was going as planned, and it was almost time for a chemical coffee break. Justin Case, the character in number 18, was getting ready to light his lab burner. He turned on the gas jet, but realized that the hose that connects the burner to the gas was still on the shelf. Justin went to climb the shelf in search of his gas tube and decided to leave the jet on as the room filled with flammable gas. As Justin was climbing the shelf, Noah Fence, the brilliant young man in number 15 decided to light his cigarette, but since he didn't have his lighter, he used a striker instead. The spark from the striker lit all of the escaped gas in the room, which in turn light the open containers of

At the Intermediate School I was able to observe a 5th grade math class taught by Mrs. Geanolos. Overall, her class was really interesting to watch, and I pulled a lot of good strategies from her lesson. Most impressive was her ability to calming handle crisis. In the middle of morning work a student’s nose started bleeding, resulting in a trip to the nurse and having to call a crew to clean the blood. Never once did she become flustered or frustrated. She was calm and collected, and her class was not thrown into chaos as a result. Her room was also really organized. I was especially drawn to her missing work calendar.

We used a bunsen burner to burn the hydrate off and took the mass of the hydrate to make sure it was all gone.

My first procedure that I completed was the filtration. When I mixed the lead (II) nitrate and the sodium iodide together, I got a bright yellow liquid that turned out to be lead (II) iodide. I believe I did this part of the procedure correct because the color was not too pale and I did not use too much lead (II) nitrate or sodium iodide. I used the correct amount to get the results that were listed on the laboratory, In procedure D, Glassworking, cutting the glass came out great. I followed all safety procedures and it snapped perfectly. Although, I could have fire polished the cut glass a little bit more but could not due to time constraints. A problem I could have had during this procedure is not having the Bunsen Burner flame too low where

The teacher that stands out most in my head is my eleventh grade English teacher. She had a liberal arts background, and enjoyed the classic American writers; Hemingway, Steinbeck, what have you. She was in the class of teachers who was more impressed by actions and honesty
