Boat boy wore the same jacket and same khakis. Maybe he was preparing for his future job in his cubicle because he payed too much attention to his phone and not in class. When subject is in his natural habitat (in the group with his friends) he tends to lose the signal to his phone and begins to interact. When something interesting happens he comes up from below deck. He and his friends have quite a few inside jokes.
Then we just wait for the ok from the security guard to go back in and proceed with our regularly scheduled programming. If you happen to be in the practice rooms, you can just walk outside and find the rest of the class. Most likely people in the practice room would meet the rest of the class in the hallway. In the event of a tornado drill, we hide behind the risers and pack together. We used to go to the hallway and cover our head, but it was revealed that doing this would leave our spine open for falling debris, which could be even worse than our head being exposed.
To conclude, there are many things in life that you can control like what job that you want, and the grades that you get. But, how Jamal was treated by his teacher, Mr.Crawford was not one of them. He thought that just because Jamal was good basketball player that he couldn’t do other things such as write a paper for the class. Thus, this is why Mr. Crawford had no respect for Jamal. Hence, Jamal was only given the chance by William and his friend at the school.
Hayden talked to me about his picture and described the picture in detail. He also whispered to himself about the picture. After the teacher prompted Hayden 4 times to begin silently working on an assignment, he began working on a math assignment. Once he completed the math assignment, he read a book about dinosaurs and took an A.R. test on the computer. While reading his book, he regularly flipped between reading and drawing.
“I’m in your class.” I smiled and welcomed him and then we turned our attention back to the others. While parents walked back to the classroom with us and during this time, I gained quite a bit of information about Khalil as he walked beside me, talking the entire way. I found out he is four years old, has a twin brother, can spell his name and count to ten in English and in Spanish. From this short exchange, I knew Khalil would become my student of choice for the literacy project.
Coach Carter states that nobody is expecting the players to go to college and that he thinks that it’s a problem that they only focus on basketball. He remains calm at the beginning of the meeting in the library and says that it is about all of them. He encourages the heart by telling them that he sees a system that is designed for them to fail, that only 50% graduate and that only 6% of the graduates make it to college. Furthermore, he states that maybe only 1 student is going to college in the room and that especially for young African American men they will go to prison in that area: 33% of the 18-24 year olds get arrested. Coach Carter encourages the heart on a very personal level by brining in shocking facts about the past and involving their friends and families.
In this scene, we also get a close up of him walking through the hallways. In this scene, he has a sad expression on his face as kids stare and avoid being near him. This again shows us he need the encouragement from himself to work through school. Auggie starts to accept his looks when the girl and others start to sit and be friends with him. Auggie stopped hiding from others and is exposed to everyone in the school.
Alex was observed most of the period to be standing at a table Eating and talking with other students.

Tom stays at home working while his wife Clare goes out a movie. But “it was not actually true he had to work tonight, though he very much wanted to” (Finney 1). This personal project is symbolized by a piece of yellow paper, his prized possession that he cannot lose. He dismisses time with his wife to work on it, showing how committed he is. When the paper flies out the window, Tom has to go through a
As I walked into classroom 205 my English teacher greeted me and assigned me my desk. Mrs. Manuel was as loud as a freight train, but after she talked to our class I knew I was going to enjoy my English class this year. After brainstorming about my first day up to that point, the bell rang and I reported to Mrs. Kopieczek for Spanish. We reviewed some basic Spanish, but I knew this would be an easy class for me since I have already taken 2 years of Spanish. After 50 minutes of Spanish class I reported to Mr. Jennings for one of my favorite classes, world geography.
I had just gotten home from a long day at school and went upstairs to my bedroom. I remember being very tired, like usual, and being so glad to be finally home and able to relax. I was texting one of my friends about the NBA, we argued about the NBA very often. We were having our usual conversation, Lebron James vs. Kevin Durant. Of course Lebron is better, but I will not get into that.

Those that are arguing media is affecting adolescents reading and writing performance negatively have not adjusted to the times themselves. Growing up technology was not seen as the god it is today, it was something to be skeptical of. As a student, I found it wonderful to come home from school and learn from the programs on TV the lessons I was being taught in school. In 2015, it is unnatural to not consult the all and powerful Google before spewing out answers found on the web. If I feel as a student and future educator, that technology is a necessity in learning, that when used wisely and correctly will improve reading and writing skills, than I am positive students feel the same
