Civil War Observation Essay

808 Words4 Pages

The first day I observed the entire fifth grade had a short day so their classes were on a time crunch. As the students came into the class, the teacher stood beside the door and welcomed every students with a smile. Beside the door was a small table that held the bell work papers and bell work turn in basket. As students came through the door they automatically picked up their bell work paper for the day. After grabbing their bell work, students placed their materials for the class on their desks and then proceeded to take their backpacks to the hall to hang up. Then the students came back in, sat at their desks, and quietly worked on their bell work. Once the students finished their bell work they went to the netbook cart and grabbed their netbook. The teacher explained to me that …show more content…

Ms. Caudle uses an elbow to display the bell work. They work through the bell work as a class. Ms. Caudle calls on students to answer the questions and if the students miss a question they mark it wrong. Once done grading their bell work they took it to the bell work basket to turn in and then the teacher instructed them to get out their materials for their Civil War play. Ms. Caudle informed me that the students had been studying the Civil War and this is why they are doing this project. The students were grouped into five or six students and they were instructed to take their Civil War article and transform it into a scene from a play. The students worked in there groups for ten minutes or so and they worked out what they were going to do. Once that time was up the groups performed their plays for each other. I enjoyed watching their plays because it really showed their imagination and how they interpreted their articles. This process happened three times with the three different classes of the fifth grade. The next time I went to observe the students were working on research

  • The Impact Of In-Forming On Danville

    149 Words  | 1 Pages

    “In-Forming”, an app described as an individual 's ability to provide themselves with their own personal supply chain of information, knowledge, and entertainment, has impacted Danville by decreasing the amount of effort students have to put into their work and assignments, and by giving every person in Danville access to others in and out of the small town. Students of the Danville Area School District used to have to lug around large textbooks for every class, go to the library to find information for assignments, and write with actual writing utensils, but now, because of the world wide web, old standards required for learning have “left the building.” With a simple search for a textbook title on “Google,” students are able to access large

    1252 Words  | 6 Pages

    The Civil War was caused by a combination of the problems of slavery, state’s rights, economic sectional differences, and political blunders and extremism. These factors combined in the 1850s to create a tense environment in which nearly every action could potentially lead to war. While the Civil War was inevitable, it was definitely partially caused by the extremism and poor political leadership of the preceding decade. However, these factors emerged out of cultural, economic, and political differences that were nearly a century in the making. There can be no doubt that extremism over issues of slavery factored into the causes of the Civil War.

    Not many people took into consideration what discrimination could do to people. I love the fact that she went out of her way to teach her students that discriminating actually hurt, and not just being a victim of it, but also being the one doing it. It could turn a sweet soul into a deviant one. It was also shocking how the students really did not know their attitudes changed until after they stepped back and observed. I believe that this experiment/ lesson should be taught more often, because there is still discrimination going on till this day.

That is how my school was and hence every other school is today.
