time. Introduction Vietnamese falls under the “Mon-Khmer group of the Austro-Asiatic family of languages,” which mean that most of the vocabulary within the language contain different buildups of lower intonations leading to a strong stressed syllable. There are three major dialects of Vietnamese: Hanoi — primarily spoken in Northern Vietnam, Hue — used mostly in Central Vietnam and Saigon which

specific strengths and weaknesses of each child in their classroom by breaking the test into smaller sections (letters, sounds, initial/final consonants, blends and digraphs, long and short vowels, closed syllables, soft c/g generalization, open syllables, special vowels, syllabication, and common syllables). This breakdown of the assessment allows the teacher to see the phonics skills each student is struggling with and allows for individualized instruction. The DIBELS assessment,

Poetry, an expression of the soul, a way to show the musings of the inner mind, and a super cheap gift for a college student. I once wrote a book of love poems for a boyfriend. I didn’t have much money and I’m not very artistic. We decided not to spend more than $10 on our gifts to each other months in advance. Coming up with heartfelt, unique, and classy gift proved to be more difficult than I originally imagined. The deadline for giving the gifts felt closer to me than the weeks, if not longer

Published in 1807, William Wordsworth reflects the many voices such as his attitude and values towards the Industrial Revolution and how it was a big turning point in history. This inevitable transition included going from hand production methods to machines. Wordsworth has described the world as being too overwhelming, for example instead of appreciating beautiful events such as the moon shining over the ocean; people began to use all their energy on being concerned about time and money. Technology

I originally saw poetry as a gargantuan chore of literacy. The idea in my cranium about poetry was, every poem or piece of writing had to be all about love or disgusting topics. But, junior year, that all changed with one student teacher. Ms. Evans changed my entire view of poetry and literature as a whole, she taught me how creative you can be with writing and books. Ironically, I fell in love with writing poetry about anything but love. I had teachers that abased my creativity, but alas, I prevailed

As a police officer, the difference between a well written and poorly written report is massive. A poorly written report can leave out crucial points that will affect the outcome of each case. There are certain “rules of writing” when writing a report, that will change a poorly written report to a well written one. The first rule is writing in first person. An officer should always refer to themselves as “I” or “me.” Doing this will clearly identify you as being the person doing the investigation

a smile on your face, and makes you want to tap and bob your head to the beat. The last track, “Just a Simple Melody” is also one of those cheerful songs, that has minimal lyrical value, but the moderate quick pace, and the extensive play on the syllables of words and consonants makes you laugh. The rhyming of the verses is an effective quality, that puts the words right into your mouth, and sooner than you can believe, you’re singing along to the lively music. One difference from the beginning

poem is being written from memory and not in real time. This is something that seemed to happen to the author at one time in their life. The vocabulary choice used in this poem is pretty common for the time it was written. There are a couple multi syllable words, such as “Jocund”, which is a word that is not heard in normal conversation amongst the current generation. The word choice connects, and illuminates the speaker about specific details involving the surroundings. The steady rhyming flow and

Introduction What are the first few adjectives that come to your mind when you think of college? It is part of American culture to make college look like the best years of a person’s life. Television, movies, and even music does a fantastic job glorifying the college experience. Often times, the high stress is never portrayed. Take my school’s statistics on stress for example, 47.9% of MTSU students reported feeling their stress levels were greater than average over the 12 months prior to completing

protoword. The concept of cluster reduction in which a syllable is unstressed and at time forgotten was also another aspect I felt would have been every common to occur but was not able to observe a word. What was observed was the use of the word “that” substituted with the consonant /d/ to make the sound like “dat”. With the sound /th/ being found under the fricatives I assumed the child avoided using the correct sound due to the complexity of the syllable structure. Semantic development is the process
