Tiered Reflection

Divergent is a great coming of age novel because the protagonist undergoes a transformative change of character. In Divergent the main character Beatrice, whose name means voyageur, goes on a journey that changes not only her name, but her social standing, physical and psychological well being as well. The story begins with Beatrice being a member of the Abnegation faction. The Abnegation faction values selflessness above all other virtues, and Beatrice has been raised to put others before herself. Although her faction is a tight-knit community brought together by their humanitarian ways, she is very introverted and withdrawn. When she “looks at the Abnegation lifestyle as an outsider, [she] thinks it's beautiful. It's only when [she tries] to live it [herself] that [she has] trouble. It never feels genuine” (Roth 36). She doesn’t feel she belongs there and feels guilty for having selfish tendencies. When Tris chooses to switch from Abnegation to Dauntless, she begins to become more social. She becomes friends with Christina, another initiate, and states that she has not “really had a friend before, period. It's impossible to have real friendship when no one feels like they can accept help or even talk about themselves. That won't happen here. I already know more about Christina than I ever knew about Susan, and it's only been two days” ( ). She is starting to step outside of her comfort zone and is making more connections with the new people she encounters than people

For example, an instructional manual on how to repair car, or fix an appliance is considered a research paper, since someone had to investigate how to do it. Moreover, I was specially interested in the learning about how my writing and thinking could improve by foreseeing my reader’s critical questions (p.13).

As a poor Asian who ventured out of a dominantly white, small town, I understand the consequences of being a minority. This is how my passion to serve the underserved originated, and why I have partnered with service organizations such as Berea Buddies and AmeriCorps. Being a member of these empathetic communities has deepened my gratitude for how beautifully diverse our world is and for all people regardless of the challenges they face. For example, upon entering my service year to mentor children in D.C. public schools, I was told by almost everyone that there is no helping those children because of the family and monetary problems they encounter. Their responses reminded me of the comments I heard when I decided my life after high-school.

This reflective essay will be adopted from Rolfe, Freshwater and Jasper’s (2001) reflection model. This reflection is based on a case study that I have read and will be based on the intervention I have chosen to treat the patient. Mr. Castello was admitted to the ward for observation after a fight and sustaining a laceration to his right forehead from a beer bottle and extensive bruising and scratches to his left arm. Mr. Castello had a pre-existing chest infection, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and asthma. Assessing, cleaning and dressing his wounds is an integral part of his treatment, as his DM can lead to delayed wound healing and increased chance of infection (Salazar, Ennis, & Koh, 2016). This could be successfully achieved through

This semester I learned a lot about writing in English 151. It has been a roller coaster ride with these essays for me this semester. I learned step by step how to write a good essay and how to have your readers be engaged in what you’re trying to tell them. Each essay I did has taught me something valuable I can take to the next level of English. I feel as if as the semester went by I did not take my writing that seriously and that reflected in my grades I received in each essay. It made me a better student and writer and it will reflect next semester. In this essay, I will reflect on what I learned throughout this semester that you should apply in your writing when you begin English 151.

The first part of the lesson is Engage. For this portion, I played a video to engage students and to allow visual learners to take in the information. For the Explore part, students have to research/explore different types of bird life cycles individually or in groups. This supports intrapersonal and interpersonal learners who may chose to work in groups or alone. This part also supports logical learners, as students need to think critically about the information they will be sharing with the rest of the class. During the Explain portion, I will be using visual support through the reading of a book. I will then brain storm with student why and how a chicken life cycle works, once again, supporting logical learners through critical thinking. Throughout the Elaborate section, students will recreate the life cycle of a chick through a dance, a play, a poem or a song. Giving students options on how they want to work is a way to accommodate and support their unique learning style. These specific activity supports all types of learners. Visual learners will be able to watch their peers perform; kinesthetic learners will be able to perform (through movement) what they know; musical learners will be able to demonstrate their knowledge musically; intrapersonal learners can work alone and quietly; interpersonal learners can work in groups, being able to share their findings with others; verbal learners will be able to communicate their knowledge and to brainstorm with peers and teacher during the process; logical learners will have ample of opportunities to do critical thinking; and naturalistic learners, who have an inclination on classifying fauna and flora, will be drawn to this subject as it is heavily concentrate on fauna. Thus, students will able to choose an activity that better suits them, while learning

For the last six weeks in both mental and acute setting, I have reflected on events that I had met in each week. Now, I am going to identify essential personal learning outcomes from those events and will include personal awareness of strengths and weaknesses. Among the different models of reflection, I will use the Gibbs model of reflection which entails six stages such as description, feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, action plan.

Your summary was easy to follow and provided the overview I needed to understand the subject and main events. The positive economic incentive used to stimulate improvement failed, as it did not compensate for the gap left when America removed God from education. While most teachers would probably follow the guidelines of their administration and would understand the rational provided, the need to be compensated must have been stronger. I would recommend the school system consider an external review process and instituting feedback directly from the teachers and parents together to an impartial board.

After the gathering of data for this paper, I initiated with my writing work for this paper. First of all, I prepared the rough draft and outline with the plan to cover every area in the paper. I get this draft and plan approved by my teacher and gained further recommendations from him. I dedicated a specific time for researching, writing, editing, and proofreading of every area before submitting to my teacher to check and highlight any error or need for improvement. This enabled me to gain more guidelines from my teacher regarding my paper to complete it with efficiency and on time. These guidelines further polished my researching, writing, editing, and proofreading skills. Furthermore, the guidelines I gained from my teacher during the completion

As we begin to wrap up this semester, I reflect on all the learning and achievements I have obtained thus far in the program. Throughout this semester, my communication and relational capacity has grown, driving me to break out of my comfort shell. At the beginning of this year I had wrote a letter to myself, outlining three goals that I wanted to achieve. The three goals were: work with a palliative client, become more assertive, and to integrate family care into my practice. I began the semester off in acute care, on the medical floor. During the second part of the semester, I was assigned to be in the first group of students to start the Trail Outreach Nursing. My new placement has created a new goal of increasing my communication

Passing my level 1 gave me the confidence and determination to push myself forward with self study, online web material and help from sonographers for level 2, and which I knew was going to be a steep learning curve. Although, I knew this may not substitute my learning that will occur at the university however, it can help me to get a head start.

During the first few workstations, I worked with Bridie one-on-one. While I was working with her, she would cough and sneeze without covering her mouth. When this would occur, I would state to Bridie, “Cover your mouth.” Bridie does put her fingers and hands in her mouth and nose, which she is directed to do the following: “Go wash your hands” or “Put on sanitizer”. To prevent other students and staff members from getting sick, Bridie was directed to clean her hands. Sometimes, she would refuse or start to whine, but was redirected to complete the teacher directed task without whining. The health of Birdie, health of the students, and the health of the staff members is imperative and is always a top priority in the classroom. (Standard 4)

What is the influence one classroom and one teacher can have on a person's writing? The answer being “a lot” because being a part of one English class my sophomore year made it possible for me to understand more about writing and the skills needed to achieve at the process. The teacher that I had such great communication with that year not only made it possible for me to understand what I was doing wrong, but how I could fix my problems. Without changing my writing from the past, I would still be stuck with essays and papers that lack flow and structure. Writing is such a great skill that is strongly needed in the field I wish to study and eventually one day work for in the future. While to some English and writing may not be important,

In the final days of this semester, one tends to look back at the work done over a difficult and long three months. In the case of this English composition class, reflecting on completed essays has allowed me to analyze the development of my writing over the semester. Although this semester consisted of only five essays, it has become apparent to me that my writing has improved in many aspects throughout the semester. One general example of this improvement is the vocabulary, where simple vocabulary in the first essay had become more complex by the final essays. Additionally, I also believe that my writing has become more reflective of my actual voice and opinions, an improvement considering my first essays were best described as vague.

As I conclude my first semester in Modern II, I’m excited to see where spring semester is going to take me. My first semester in Modern II, I had many ups and downs that I feel only made me stronger as a dancer. Learning at a higher level has pushed me past my limits and making me strive for all my goals. At midterm, I set three goals for myself, such as, fully releasing in my drop swings, memorizing floor phrases a lot faster, and concentrating on my performance quality. After setting these goals, I personally feel that I have grown stronger in these specific areas. For second semester, I am going to keep working on my goals as well as adding one more, such as, bringing my pelvis with me when performing movements.
