thing I have been granted at this school; the teachers. It all started on my first day here. It was September, and I was 4 years- old. The year was 2006.

What Are the Advantages of Bilingual Educational Programs and Bilingualism? It is difficult for me to write this from the point of view of an educator in the United States. I am presently at the end of my second year of teaching and also my second year at a totally bilingual school that teaches in both Spanish and English. My opinions and reflections on my literature reviews may be affected by my teaching here in Mexico, vs. teaching ESL students who are immigrants located in the USA. Bilingual

Book Banning According to the American Library Association (ALA), the request for removal of books are usually due to the contents and its age appropriateness for the students. “When I was in 6th grade, I decided to read Catcher in the Rye. My parents were fine with that, but my school sent me home for the day. This experience gave me an even greater appreciation of the power of the written word” (Reading Banned Books...). The reasoning behind why banned books today may seem good today but tomorrow

because we were freshman, and every grade above grade 9 hates freshman. But I later thought to myself that I have nothing to worry about, millions of people have done this before me, so as long as i 'm focused, i’ll be set for my first high school year.

When they fail they do not know why they failed and do not know what to do about the failure. In the book The Achievement Habit, by Bernard Roth, he talks about how to educate people through striving in life and accomplishing things and being successful in life. He pushes people to their limit to achieve something that the person would not think of achieving

vocabulary and I always think back to that teacher. This was also the first chapter book I read and I recommend it to all children. Then in third grade, my teacher would read to us Junie B. Jones which I fell in love with and could not get enough. My last years of elementary school reading wise involved Dear America books, American Girl books, and Scary Ghost stories books. These were topics and books I chose myself and not for a class. I think it had to do with having more freedom in the library that I looked

Introduction: There once was a young boy whose mother read stories to him from picture books. This young boy was me around the age of seven years old. Before bedtime, my mother used to read stories to me before I went to sleep. I remember that I watched several Disney cartoons of the tales, but I cannot recall which ones I saw. I know that fairy tales have fictional elements, such as magic and fantasy, that cannot happen in real life. Some fairy tales have a moral, like fables, although

When I was growing up, I thought that I was a perfectly good girl and will always be correct. But that all changed in Kindergarten. I was wrong. I was over of what I thought. My name was Emma. This was probably the biggest secret I ever kept. On the first day of school, I meet new friends. I meet this girl named Violet. She was basically I think my only friend in 1st grade. We talked a while and it turns out she goes to the same after school as me. We meet at after school and we talked about

During my last year of Middle School I was diagnosed with depression. This illness caused me to discourage my abilities and it deeply affected my social skills. At the same time I was also being bullied by other kids at school. I remember silently crying every day as I walked home from the bus stop. When I was first diagnosed, the doctors told me that isolating the problem was a good thing. They told me that isolating the problem would give me strength. It didn’t. I was scared that people would judge

4-27-16 Thinking About Books and Final Looks A big mantra of my childhood was “You can’t watch the movie until you’ve read the book first.” My childhood literacy devoted mother may have used this in an unnecessary attempt to add the ever growing stacks of books I plowed through, or, more likely, because she believes that you need to set up a story in your mind before you watch someone else’s interpretation. I’ve been thinking about this philosophy in relation to the two films I’ve watched
