...It is imperative to assign formative assessments in the classroom especially to track student’s reading and comprehension abilities. Formative assessments help the teacher differentiate what students know and what gaps in the student’s background knowledge have to be filled. Formative assessment also assesses student’s current ability and evaluates whether they are grasping the main ideas, and purpose of the reading. The information gathered from this evaluation will help the teacher determine the level of support the students need during reading and what reading strategies might need to be modeled before the students read a complex text. For this formative assessment, students will read a textbook passage titled Cells and Energy. This passage will introduce students to how plants get their energy and how the chloroplast functions to make sure that the plant is converting energy to food. To track student’s progress during the lesson students will complete a short response analogy and a concept map. Students will create an analogy between something/someone that that shares a similar function and role of a chloroplast. Students should demonstrate that they understand the function of a chloroplast and can make a connection between a chloroplast and an unrelated object or person. This assessment will help me discover if students are comprehending the information they are gathering from the text and whether they can use that information to explain the importance of a chloroplast...

...Jack In “The Dark Psychology of Being a Good Comedian,” Olga Khazan discusses the relationship of darkness and light in humor. Throughout the article she reinforces the idea multiple times that a twist is needed in jokes. The arguments she offers to support her thesis that comedy requires just as much shadiness as it does enlightenment rely on her research, studies, and experiences. I will argue that Khazan’s argument succeeds because of the overflow of the compelling evidence she provided in support of her claim. Olga Khazan believes that majority of people find jokes with a little controversy in them to be funnier than those without it. In order for people to laugh at someone’s joke there needs to be some kind of wicked jerk. Peter McGraw believes the best jokes “take something awful and make it silly. Go purely light-hearted and you risk being toothless. Too edgy.. you’ll make people uncomfortable” (Khazan). With this McGraw is saying that it is okay to offend people to a certain degree with jokes. It should be part of the joke. But it should have an equal amount of “feel-good” to it. For example, when the attacks on September 11th happened the whole country stopped. People needed ways to cope. Comedy was nowhere to be found because no one wanted to offend anyone and they did not think anyone would appreciate any comedy. But The Onion thought differently and began to print articles joking about the terrorists. They were not sure how it would go but the issue was a smash...

... As a resilient species, human beings learn no matter what environment they find themselves in. Eventually we become successful, unsuccessful, or somewhere in between determined by ourselves and our peers, and much of this is determined by the education we receive. In the early years we primarily educate through schooling at home or in a public setting. Schooling is comprised of three main areas regardless of the setting: Academic Learning, Physical Development, and figuring out where we fit in the world (Societal Placement). Although both forms of education have their merits, public schooling is the most conducive to a meaningful education in these areas. The main aspect that an education revolves around is Academia. Humans evolve, and we try to learn from our mistakes in order to advance. When we do learn, we teach the various findings and “Eureka!” moments to our children. Having been capable of documenting our findings for thousands of years, no one person is capable of retaining and teaching all of this knowledge. In a public education system, the vast amount of data is relayed to students in pieces divided by subjects and various experts that have studied in a specific field, i.e, teachers. Thus, the knowledge gets divided into more realistically attainable categories such as history, literature, mathematics. The teachers get to share their expertise through relaying of things that they have learned, and the written works in the school library provide an unlimited wealth...

...The author’s thesis is that even though these young Iraqis, who are labeled as “emo” or “homosexuals,” are facing horrifying and tragic situations under extreme violence, the future is in their hands, therefore risking their lives for a better tomorrow will hopefully help them earn their freedom and rights. They might end up losing their lives, but it would be worth it in the name of freedom. The quote that I found especially profound is, “If there is one silver lining in this tragic situation, it is the growing role of human rights discourse as a weapon for society to fight against such extra-legal violence against even its most marginal members” (Levine 328). I choose this quote because it speaks people in general facing a similar situation...

...Rainie et al. (2012) found that portable electronic reading devices have been gaining popularity in the last few years. e-books and e-readers have a wide range of technological enhancements that offer readers a more immersive, and realistic reading experience. The additional enhancements and features e-readers provide to students increase reading comprehension and motivation to read, while also making struggling readers feel safe. Few would argue that students today are not the same as students five, ten, or fifteen years ago. Sandra Wright and April Prensky claim that the activities and lives of children are more technologically driven than ever before, and that technology captivates their minds more than any other type of entertainment. Because...

...In 2013, Elon Musk announced his concept of the hyperloop. Since then, there have been many competitions to create the fastest hyperloop prototype that is similar to the original concept. With the technology being used to do so, they may be able to achieve this speed and benefit humanity, but also may risk lives in the process. With the predicted beneficial elements of the hyperloop, there are also predicted problems that may occur in the building or use of such concept. Who knows? All one can do now is to wait and see what will unfold in the near future of this concept and it’s technology. The most appealing factor of this concept is the speed. The plans for this hyperloop includes top speeds of 1200 km/h or 760 mph, which is faster than any other human made form of transportation, ever (Disregarding the dangerous high speed forms of dangerous transportation, like the Concord, which was put out of use). This speed requires newer technology, however, to be able to minimize friction and increase speed. A way the teams have thought to do this is by building a straight tunnel with a vacuum, which would minimize air resistance. Teams have also thought about using magnets to levitate the pod. That way, they could eliminate resistance from having tracks. This pod will also have to be very aerodynamic in order to be the fastest and most efficient form, in order to just cut through the remaining air at the highest speed possible. However, this technology and these ideas have many pros...

...The audience for this informative essay is the professor of my English Composition course, Pamela Hughes, and the entirety of my class. The theory behind this essay is the idea that religion is attributed to conflict. Supportive evidence is abundant, there are enormous volumes of writing on this topic. Consequently, there’s plenty of theories, articles, papers, and support regarding this topic. In this paper, I will attempt to prove this, while trying to justify and backing up my evidence. Though religion has led to an abundance of answers to ancient questions, we are left to question the cost. Are rudimentary mappings of our universe and origins worth the means? Teaching tinsel morals, promoting close-mindedness, as well as supporting ethnocentrism. These negative effects are not visible in all cases of religious dogma, however, there is evidence that suggests that those who follow these ideals in a malicious manner can catalyze negative relations for the rest of us. Justifying holy wars is impossible, yet it has happened throughout history. Christian leaders believed it was justifiable to send thousands of children to their death for their god. 89% of Sharian Muslims in Egypt favor the death penalty for those who refuse to convert. These radical religious views are precisely the instances that help justify the idea of religion causing war. Not every religious person is radical, and not every religious idea is damaging. These are not only unjustifiable and...

...We have been retained to represent Local 4940, Nicole Miale and Kim Sousa in connection with the enclosed charge of discrimination. Kim is the Union President and Nicole is a member of the Executive Board. I met with Kim on January 27 and she advises me that Della Nimely is a Career Resource Specialist previously employed by the Collaborative with a date of hire of September, 2014. On or about August 11, 2015, the Collaborative notified Della that it was laying her off. The lay-off letter was dated in July. Della told Nicole who referred Della to Kim. Around this time, Della went out on a sick leave of absence due to one (1) or a series of car accidents and she ran out of sick time. Della applied to the sick leave bank and Kim assisted her in getting her an extension to 48 days of sick leave and helped her fill out the application. Della had only deposited two (2) days in the bank because she was a short term employee. Around the end of August Collaborative Director Joe Nasif called Kim and Della into the office. At that time Della did not know who Kim was. Kim thought that the meeting was about the layoff. It turns out there was an employee who was Jr. to Della by the name of Casey Reagan, and Casey, who is a white female, had been retained while Della had been laid off. Kim pointed this out to Nasif, who was not aware that Della and Casey held the same position. Also, Casey had been transferred to the Collaborative’s South County location and had subsequently resigned....

...My second document is the persuasive argument on my own personal opinion on the concussion protocol and its effects on the game. For the introduction of this document, I used a example of change. When you wake up in the morning, you have a basic routine, you brush your teeth, get changed, prepare breakfast, finish any last school assignment, then you head out the door. But if any of these were alter such as you run out of underwear or toothpaste, you would be upset. I concluded my introduction by asking the audience why no one can accept these rules changes in support of player health and safety. I then included a picture of David Bruton Jr who is holding his head in pain after a dirty hit by the Pittsburgh Steelers. This relates to the question concluding my introduction paragraph and this would create emotion to the reader that another human being is in pain. Next, I started to create my argument on how we all meant to believe that football is a dangerous sport that can do serious damage to the human body, while this is true the sport we know it is changing as well. I started to prove my point in another direction of the NBA, on one of sports biggest controversies today, who is the greatest of all time? Michael Jordan or the king Lebron James. We stated that it’s hard to compare them dued to the different era they played in, were Michael Jordan era in the 90’s was more “physical” and today generation of basketball is “soft”. 90’s basketball had less rules or maybe the induction...

...The word "slave" never appears in the Constitution directly. However, slavery is mentioned and protected in the document, even though the term is never specifically used. The infamous three-fifths clause counted 0.6% of the slave population in allocating representation, which granted the South extra representation in the house. The Constitution also forbade Congress from condemning the Atlantic slave trade. Additionally, the Constitution granted the federal government the power to quell any local uprisings, which could, of course, include violent slave rebellions. If Northerners demanded the removal of any mention of slavery from the US Constitution, the South would only act negatively and the entire situation would be detrimental to the building of the United States of America. The framers of the Constitution feared the reaction that might come out of such a decision. For example, Southern colonies may not join the new union. Back then, a main source of the South’s earnings was from cash crops produced through slavery. If the South saw that any mention of slavery was removed from the constitution, they could be led to believe that their institution may not be “right”, or even lost. Essentially, they would lose the protection of their practices in slavery. This would lead to disagreements and quarrels at the federal, state, and local level. It’s the question of economic benefit versus moral acceptability. The demand for the removal of the mentioning of slavery in the Constitution...

... The one to elect Sanders is the one to elect, for these elections in my opinion for all the following reasons. Sanders believe that Federal Reserve give too much money to big businesses and that money should be given to small business which I am in favor of, not only does it give an opportunity for small business to expand but it can also help our economy if this business succeed. Also he believes that when it comes to civil rights women should work and should be payed as same, as men(equality to all no matter their gender) and is against racism, homophobia and sexism(supporter of same-sex marriage) I agree with his argument on equal pay for woman and on same sex marriage everyone has the right to be treated equally no matter their religion, or color of skin (Equality for all). In addition when it comes to Education he promises on giving $18 billion to the state government, so colleagues can reduce tuition cost by 55%, in my opinion education is a very important factor in our world today about 65.9% enrolled in college in the us in 2014 , that percentage (should be higher) and for those that enrolled they will be in debt for many years which is not fair, colleagues should be free for all or at least reduced like Sanders is promising to do.Besides education he believes that Social security such as Obamacare should be strengthen with the help of the federal and state government.I am a strong supporter of Sanders vision on Entitlements and the benefits it can bring to the people...

... At the front, and at home, another New Year dawned bleak. There were many who wondered if their lives would ever be normal again. After the destruction that had gone before, and in a year that would bring victory and peace, ironically, Britain would lose more men than in any other year of the war. 1916 had seen the government tighten its control of land with the very nature of rural life undergoing profound and far-reaching change. The government had asked famers to increase their yield and were pushing the use of tractors and steam ploughs. Mechanisation was the order of the day and, as with most new ideas, some were keen to embrace these ‘new fangled machines’ while others railed over the passing of traditional practices. Whatever an individual’s point of view, what was not in dispute was the need to continue increasing food production. Planned yields for corn and potatoes added 1,000,000 acres to land under cultivation. The government forged ahead with voluntary rationing and backed this up with an active campaign to secure its observance. It received a mixed response. The second quarter of 1917, saw an additional 135,000 women added to the number of those already in employment. Those who cared to look back to the heady days of August 1914 knew the war had changed their lives forever. There would be no way back to that former life! In January, Arthur Pearson, President of the National Institute for the Blind, wrote to Mrs K. Newborn to thank her, and the people of Epworth...

... The reconstruction phrase was lots of violence among slavery all over the south.The Reconstruction land-grant plan “Forty acres and a mule”, this land would be divided up between slaves to restart their way of life. The Reconstruction phrase should have help guarantee equal rights and freedom for all americans. The Thirteenth Amendment was finalized in 1865 in which it abolishment of slavery within the United States.The Fourteenth Amendment (18680 extended “equal protection of the laws” to all citizens.The Fifteenth Amendment (1870 )guaranteed that the right to vote could not be denied on the account of race and color.The term Freemen was the term used given to those slaves who became free men after the U.S Congress passed the Confiscation act of 1862. During the freeman bureau area this movement was responsible for the welfare of newly free slaves, in which it was suppose to help build schools and help blacks African Americans get their own lands.The Freedmen's Bureau agent monitored State and local legal affairs and often intervene on behalf of blacks. The rights of former slaves should have been;Health care was needed, getting paid wages for their harvest work, before Civil War all crops; rice, corn and cotton was chief money-makers that's why slaves owners didn't want blacks to be free they would lose lots of money and profits. Therefore, if they were to get paid for their work they would beat them off their lands without getting paid. The right to vote, trade of business...

...In addition to believing that space is an a priori intuition, Kant believed that time is also an a priori intuition. Likewise, Kant backs up his claim with four points. The first reason why Kant believes that time is an a priori intuition is because knowledge of time is not discovered through empirical abstraction. Kant does not believe that time can come from what he calls “outward experiences”. Additionally, Kant believes that in order to expeierence something external (such as time), it has to already exist in foundation. There must be experience of the world in order for the experience to take place. As a result, time cannot derived from relations of external phenomena though experience. In fact, Kant believed that anything that is considered to be a representation of something must exist in time. The second reason why Kant believed that time is an a priori intuition is due to reasoning. According to Kant, time is a necessity for representation of our world. As a result, it is one of the foundations for all external intuitions. He believed that we know about time a priori because time is a necessity for all other cognitions. In addition, certain concepts relating to time can be comprehended through intuition. Kant pointed to the fact that our minds have the ability to figure out which scenarios relating to time can be conceivable or inconceivable. He believed that time is an a priori intuition because time without objects is conceivable, but outer objects without...
