Erin Macke's Vacation With Children: A Case Study

One of the reasons I chose to the book Other People’s Children by Lisa Delpit was because I want to be aware of the stereotypes and prejudices this books might uncover that I had and didn’t know I has. Teaching in a DLI program there is big diversity in our school and community. I want to be able to be culturally competent and be able to eliminate my cultural assumptions. I want to be able to understand where my students are and families are coming from so I can adjust my teaching methods and strategies.

In The seventh most important thing by Shelley Pearsall, Arthur T.Owens throws a brick at a local man that collects rubbish. Arthur and his sister always call him junk man, although they would later find out that his name is actually James hampton. After getting out of juvie, arthur has a long nerve wracking time in court to decide his punishment for throwing a brick at junk man. Instead of being sentenced to more time in juvie, junk man offers an alternative, he is sentenced to one hundred twenty hours of community service… working for him. He would pay off those hours every Saturday. “ One kid. One crime. One chance to make things right.”

Has a parent ever been away on business? How did the house feel with out with? Lonely maybe even isolated. Did the remaining parent tried to bond with you? How did that feel? Probably awkward. In the stories Tortilla Sun by Jennifer Cervantes and Confetti Girl by Diana López this was the case. The main characters of each story have to deal with only having one parent. There are so used to the life that they have that they can’t adjust to the one that they presently have. This caused many issues. Though this seems like a tension filled prison for the character there really is something that the could do to solve the tension. In the two stories, Tortilla Sun by Jennifer Cervantes and Confetti Girl Diana López, the main characters and their parents

Screaming Jenny is a tale from West Virginia that was about a woman named Jenny who was set on fire and ran in front of a train. This all began shortly after the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was built, and there was a small shed/shack that was really close to it. Jenny didn’t have much money at all and was struggling to support herself. One day when she was eating her soap a spark came flying out of the burning fire onto her wool blanket. She didn’t notice at first by the distraction of her soap broth, she was aware of her burning clothes after it had started to roast her skin. She jumped up and ran outside, screaming for help and just running trying to find someone or something that could help. As she kept running her screams became more terrifying,

Whether male, female, married, single, conservative or liberal all people have a moral compass. The moral compass in Freakonimics does not point in one direction creating a new approach to economics. Authors Steven D. Levitt and Stephan J. Dubner suggest viewpoints on crime, abortion, and education from an economic prospective while ignoring the right or left minded political viewpoints.

And so, this blog finally gets to the story of Esme Delapaz, known to many as the Summerhaven Witch.

Everything happened last summer during vacation. Every year my family plans some wild, adventurous trip, and last year we were going to visit some of the states in the northeastern United States. The trip was going fine until we arrived at the state of New Hampshire. We were going to camp there for a few days, and that was when my parents announced that we were all going to climb Mount Washington. I was not too thrilled by this idea, in fact, I was relatively annoyed. Let me just say, that I did not want to climb to the top of Mount Washington. The thought of climbing this mountain just did not interest me. In the past, we had done many other pretty extreme hikes, and I wondered why this one would be any different. My parents, on the other hand, were both very enthusiastic about this. However, my brother fell somewhere in between, interested, yet not. Despite my parents’ opinions about the climb, I still tried to protest, saying that it would not be that great. Until the day of the hike finally came.

Talking to kids about drugs can be difficult. Having to explain why drugs are bad for them and why they should not consume them can be hard. I have seen from my own experience kids from ages seven through twelve seeing people on drugs. They have seen them in public spaces. For example, my eight and twelve year old nieces and I went to 7-eleven to buy some chips, then we noticed a lady screaming and walking back and forth outside of 7-eleven. My nieces were wondering what was wrong with the lady and my older sister had to explain to them that she was most likely on drugs. That experience made me realize that kids can be exposed to seeing anybody on drugs at any time. Parents should talk to their kids about drugs at a younger age because they

I am going to be taking you to my favorite vacation spot which happens to be 4,403 miles away from where we live.
