9-12 Cluster Assignment

This artifact is a research paper that we had to write for my English 12 class. We could pick any topic of our choosing as long as we could find 12 credible sources that support our topic. The topic that I chose was the history of racism. I felt like people in today 's society doesn 't realize how racism started and the effects that it could cause. This artifact relates to the page "writing samples" and to English 12 because it is a wring sample that I wrote in my senior year of high school.

The Difference between a High school teacher & a College Professor From Kindergarten to college, education is important because it helps citizens develop learning skills. For example, Reading is important because it can help individuals learn how to communicate effectively. Not all education is the same because of the different teaching styles. College Professors and high school teachers are different because they have divergent teaching styles, testing strategies and the environment change of the classroom There are various differences and similarities between a high school teacher and a college professor. One main difference you noticed between these two is that college is a lot different than High school and the style of teaching has changed over time.

Hello, I am Alissa Grieco. I graduated from Mahopac High School in 2012. I am currently a graduate student at Mercy College studying secondary education in History and special education. For one of my classes this semester I must observe two global or geography (6th grade) classes. I was wondering if I could come in one day and observe a global history/ geography class in the middle school.

I think it makes sense to read this book at the same time that we are reading about slavery and other events during this time period in our textbooks. Freshman year, Newport Harbor students do not take a history class. Junior year, we cover American History but did not cover this time period for very long or in much depth. I believe Sophomore year would be the best time to read Huck Finn. As mentioned before, it provides additional context that goes along well with the facts that are given in textbooks.

As an undergraduate, I had many course of how to teacher students with special needs, and it did not become a requirement to take the SEI endorsement class until the semester after I graduated. Why is this a new focus when the laws have been in effect since the 1960s? I questioned whether or not this new focus in Massachusetts was due to Question 2 and the new legislations that are discouraging bilingual classrooms. According to the Attorney General’s summary: The proposed law would require public schools to educate English learners (children who cannot do ordinary classwork in English and who either do not speak English or whose native language is not English) through a sheltered English immersion program, normally not lasting more than one year.

High School is more than all this, its about finding out what in life will make you happy. Not just chasing some small irrelevant goal. This is why I strongly recommend that you read this book, The Death of Ivan Ilyich. Let me ask you this: Have you ever thought about what you really wanted to learn in highschool? 45 years from now will you remember that A you got on Mr. Tooheys essay, or will you reminisce figuring out what makes you happy in life?

Identifying honors classes at my high school was not an easy task. A few classes were actually called honors and as I progressed the names began to shift into pre-AP and AP classes. I then entered TCC where it was a simple distinction to be able to know which classes were honors and which ones were not, in order to continue to challenge my academic experience. On top of the unclear distinction at my highschool, in my experience, most of them were taught the same way and all of the class sizes were the same. The only class I would say that felt like an actual honors class would have been my AP world history class.

Lucille Parkinson McCarthy, author of the article, “A Stranger in Strange Lands: A College Student Writing Across the Curriculum”, conducted an experiment that followed one student over a twenty-one month period, through three separate college classes to record his behavioral changes in response to each of the class’s differences in their writing expectations. The purpose was to provide both student and professor a better understanding of the difficulties a student faces while adjusting to the different social and academic settings of each class. McCarthy chose to enter her study without any sort of hypothesis, therefore allowing herself an opportunity to better understand how each writing assignment related to the class specifically and “what

Through twin studies it was discovered that although genetically identical they each had different IQ scores, this could lead you to believe that environment factors are involved, but does not allow for a reliable percentage of genetic or environmental components, but produce a conclusion that genetics play a higher part in IQ, although other factors can have an influence (Haralambos, M., Holborn, M. 2000).    The tripartite system came under attack in the 1960's from Labour claiming it was elitist and alienating. In 1965 Labour started what they called a new inclusive form of secondary, the Comprehensive school, comprehensive means all encompassing, this hoping to eliminate inequalities in education and overcome class divides, the 11+ was abolished (although is still used in some areas), this in the hope of overcoming class divides and providing everyone with equal opportunity (Walsh, M.,Stephens, P. and Moore, S.

Despite the fact that Brown graduated from Phillips Exeter, he had actually attended a local public school until the ninth grade. At 3rd level, the genius author attended Amherst College, later graduating with a degree in English and Spanish in 1986. He attempted to establish himself as a singer-songwriter (which he had been influenced by his mother) but achieved little success. Years later he taught Spanish at Beverly Hills Preparatory School to maintain a steady income, here he met Blythe Newlon - a lady 12 years his senior. As his relationship with Blythe developed, she used her influence to further Brown’s musical career - as she was the Artistic Director of the National Academy of Songwriters.

During Week Two, participants involved in the study were required to complete a Learning Styles Assessment, as well as a Classroom Climate Survey. Both formal and informal observations were conducted, as well as a group discussion that centered around the results received from the Learning Styles Assessment and Classroom Climate Survey. Lastly, the researcher conducted an interview whereby both teachers involved in the study were surveyed to determine which of the following seven literacy strategies, proven effective with high school

Entry #2: Date and Time: Friday, February 17, 2017, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (3 hours) Task/Activity: Students in both classes started off the class by taking their weekly spelling test. Following this, both classes examined prose-constructed responses completed by fellow students (although responses were kept anonymous). Students would then work in groups to grade the response according to PARCC standards.

In my sophomore year of high school, my English teacher assigned the class to a read a novel of our choice and report back what we liked most about it. My choice was Ethan Frome and I read the book repeatedly just so I could connect back to the characters and the setting of the novel. When I completed my sophomore year in high school, I discovered my passion for literature and the genres that accompanied it. I always knew that undergraduate studies would be my chance to grow more with my new found interest. .After high school I attended Mississippi Valley State University, a Historically Black University, where I majored in English and graduated with honors.

“I can’t think of a topic.” That was my only thought as I began my National History Day paper last year. It had to be perfect. This was the paper that would consume my life for months. It was the third paper I was writing for this competition: two papers were already behind me, 8 pages of writing with thousands of pages of research behind them.

The most critical issue facing the nation in the early 1960s was the intensification of the civil rights movement. Counterculture and other radical political movements challenged the liberal consensus during the 1960s. This era was on its peak as liberalism faced major challenges from both the left and the right. As young activists became impatient with the pace they saw of the social process and were increasingly distressed by the escalation of the Vietnam War. By 1969 liberalism was in retreat, and Richard M. Nixon, a political conservative, had in his power the White House.
