Chavez was an effective leader for three main reasons, he was a grassroot organizer and believer in equal treatment, he believed in self-sacrifice, and tough tactics. Cesar Chavez was a great leader for these three reasons. He believed that everyone was equal. He felt that his supporters or followers should feel that everyone was equal too like for example it states in Ann McGregor's book (Remembering Cesar) "For him, it was unthinkable that representatives of the poor be better off than those for whom they labor." I am going to prove to you that he is a great leader. Let me explain.

Step One: Hook - Refer to the Step One teacher notes in the Mini-Q. Read the directions aloud. The purpose is to get students engaged, talking, and wanting to do the Mini-Q.

Mrs. Lawrence: When planning a lesson, I start with the objective. What is it I am supposed to be cover. Once I know, I start with a hook. I access their prior knowledge then I move on with either an example or model. All along I ask questions to make sure the students

Standard 1: The student will express his or her thinking and ideas in a variety of writing genres.

Instructional Setting: Whole classroom usage, sometimes at desks working independently or with a partner, and also working as a class.

The school aims to have at least 4 members of staff who have all attended a 3 day first aid course and where possible to have all other members of staff attend a 1 day training. First aid should be carried out when necessary by a qualified first aider but it should not prevent someone helping if the situation requires. A list of first aiders is situated around the school in places such as first aid room and staff room. It states that all members of staff including supply need to know who the first aiders are.

The intention is to write in a manner that is easily understood by everyone and is appropriate to their reading skills and knowledge, clear and direct, free of cliché and unnecessary jargon.

This is the second required general core course in college­level writing. Observing the conventions of

Labor unions have been instrumental in the lives of workers throughout American history, and have led to important advances in the American workforce. Throughout history there have been patterns of exploitation of immigrant workers by businesses in order to increase profits; the Mexican migrant workers of southern California are the most recent historical group to fall into this pattern of exploitation mostly from their lack of organization. Cesar E. Chavez was a great organizer and leader of the United Farm Workers labor union. Robert Kennedy referred to him as “one of the heroic figures of our time.”

Outline of Lesson Plan: This lesson can be divided by the teacher into two days of instruction and reflection on the part of students and their teachers, with the option of a written homework assignment after Day 1 and the possibility of adding an additional day devoted to peer review and revision of the culminating writing assignment.

This lesson was geared toward many levels of learning ability and a variety of learning styles. Mrs. Soglin modeled the learning objective with the pan balance using the visual aid with the scale and a variety of different objects to be weighed. Then she provided additional information using the chalkboard. She engaged with the class by having an open discussion allowing the students to build on each other’s knowledge of the subject matter. She allowed for students to model for the class. When students were working in groups and pairs the higher level students helped lower level students. She also provided challenging problems at the end of the activity for those students who were ready and

Within three months of taking ED 523, my school district began using curriculum mapping. Curriculum mapping has facilitated my district in eliminating gaps and repetition in the curriculum and has allowed us to develop a fluent scope and sequence. This process has optimized student learning in my classroom. I now know what the students have already learned and can build upon those skills and understandings and can also better prepare them for the content they will be introduced to in the future. The mapping process has given me the ability to create cross curricular units with my colleagues. The students

As a teacher and trainer I have found that one of the simplest ways to make learning accessible to both myself and to those I am teaching is by relating to real-life situations and circumstances that I have faced. If one takes the approach of trying to memorise lists of facts of how to deal with First Aid situations the information becomes more difficult to absorb and less likely to be retained. Context can help provide a more intuitive framework for people’s skills, whether it is as simple as telling a story that can be recalled if and when relevant or even if it delves deeply enough to understand why certain techniques are used in First Aid

There are a number of expectations that are required to be in our written responses and discussion boards. When completing written responses writing should contain accurate information, have reserach in it , be persuasive and comprehensive. Furthermore, these writing assignments have specific instructions on how the writing has to be written. For example in some assignments there has to be either 2-3 paragraphs with over 100 words. Also we have to keep in mind that we should proofread our writing along with submitting writings in word or as a Rich Text format. In addition our writing has to be double spaced, indented and have a one inch margin. When we are answering on the discussion board we have to follow the specific instruction of what
