That is why in recent years high schools have started to encourage students to pursue a college education as well as begin to prepare the students for college. The current methods high schools are implementing offer general ways of preparing students for college that are often times ineffective and lack proper execution. Since college preparation is critical for high school students to increase their chance of successfully graduating from college, it is now more crucial than ever before to provide proper college preparation for tomorrow’s college students. However college preparation requires more than just helpful techniques for studying and teaching yourself. College preparation also requires a good amount of hard work and learning core subjects that form the foundation for which we build our...

...to teach values through different traits that certain characters exude. She writes, “The narrator of Caged Bird is good, her rapist is bad; Scout and Atticus Finch are good, their bigoted neighbors are bad.” This is a twodimensional way of looking at the characters and their development. Another point found in this article is that teachers plant their own interpretation of a work in their students heads. Prose adds “ … this moving, funny novel (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn) is being taught not as a work of art but as a piece of damning evidence against that bigot, Mark Twain.” Which changes Prose’s initial excitement upon finding that work on the list. Overall, on this topic Prose conveys that she does not believe that values can be taught through literature in a school setting. However, I believe that novels can teach a lesson. Prose writes about how lessons are taught to high school readers as if they cannot draw their own conclusions about what they read. Some may be unable to think for themselves, but it is from the point of view of an avid reader that I draw my conclusions. Teachers teach the novels the same everywhere, following given curriculum, but Prose continuously has the reader believe that it is her opinion that 1518 year olds cannot create a constructive and decisive opinion or thought for themselves. I agree with the author when she states that a character is not completely good or...

...Analysis about the Qualities of Teacher 1. Comment as to the: 1.1 Contents of the paper/, and 1.2 Similarities as to what you have experienced as a teacher or you expect to have the qualities cited and many more. Answer: 1.1 The content of the paper represents a thorough analysis, systematic understanding and a comprehensive representation of a good teacher. Teachers possess a strong power in their own capacity to direct the learners in becoming responsible citizens. Their communal hard work act as a driving power by which the goals and objectives of an educational scheme are being achieved. As such, teacher quality must be taken into account to make such goals reachable. As cited from the paper prepared by Dr. Rodolfo Yangco Baking, a former President of Tarlac State University and now a high-caliber professional lecturer of University of Makati, some qualities of a good teacher which he further explained were: enthusiastic, well prepared, maximize time, self-desciplined, humble, exemplary, use discipline wisely, treat everyone with equal respect, empathetic, avid readers, trust-worthy and trusting, committed and have spiritual foundation. In an unstructured consultation with some administrators as to teacher capability, they considered manner towards work as the most favorable characteristic. Teachers’ personality traits had the greatest influence in moral values development. The student respondents tagged being approachable and responsible among...

...The process piece I chose to revise was my About Me page. Due to the relatively small length of the piece (two paragraphs), especially in comparison to longer papers like the Familiar Genre Analysis (four pages), doing a momentous amount of revisions is unpractical. However, the changes I did make significantly altered the piece. To start off, I made some corrections to various middle and lower order concerns, like grammar (added “am” before “from” in the first sentence) and transitions (first sentence of second paragraph links the two, creating flow that was previously absent). After that, I focused on these, more important higher order concerns: audience, pathos and genre conventions. Previously, the reference to the audience for my blog was vague and practically missing. By adding the fact that “one of the primary uses of this blog is for my English 1020 class at Wayne State University,” I was able to hone in on my prospective audience: my professor and fellow classmates. Next, I added in more details about myself to help the reader feel better connected to me. By stating where I lived through my life and what country I identity myself as being from, as well as one of my biggest goals in life, I am allowing future readers to know me and my writing, not just the latter. Finally, I attempted to improve my use of genre conventions. About Me pages typically include a reason why the writer started a blog, so I included that. Also, I tried to be more interactive with my readers...

... May 7, 2014 Over 120 years ago, Frederick Jackson Turner spoke in Chicago about his theory of the American West. This Statement made a bold case that the closing of the westward expansion was the end to a glorious and influential chapter in the history of the nation. Throughout the decades there is one thing for certain, the Frontier thesis has just as much impact today as when produced. It may be studied today for its purposefulness as well as its theories, but his work ultimately inspires one to open their mind for critique, discussion, and praise. He believed that westering American individuality helped assure our democracy. Turner has many influences during his career like his father, teachers, students, and other historians. He continued to be an avid student as well, always reading and educating himself. The center of his thesis was to state that the American character, including such traits as equality and acquisitiveness, and the “American character” derived from the frontier experience. His historical value was in understanding America’s inner workings. Looking at all aspects of the American life, their past, where their future was heading, their economic, political, and social belongings. It was this forward thinking that elevated Turner’s status in his profession and our teachings today. If you studied who Turner was you would come to find out that he lived as a frontiersman and experienced that America’s uniqueness of expansion first hand. History was...

...teaches 9th grade Honors English, 10th Grade AVID, a mixed grades writing seminar elective, and 12th grade AP English. Ms. Lilly had been teaching for 19 years at this high school. She received her credential at Loyola Marymount University. She began teaching because she loves English and loves working with kids. She thought it would be fun to combine the both together. I noticed that the biggest challenges for Ms. Lilly in the classroom are class size and having access to technology. Ms. Lilly said that classes in the past for 9th and 10th grade used to be limited to 20 students to 1 teacher ratio. The goal of this is to establish a strong foundation for the students before entering the larger class sizes of the upper grades. She has 29 students in her first period and 33 students in her fifth period. I noticed that it was hard for her to focus her attention on everything that was going on in the classroom because there were so many students doing various activities. Many would come up to her to ask questions and she seemed flustered at times. I feel like her job was made even harder due to the fact that she teaches so many different grade levels. I wondered how she could handle so many different lesson plans and different focuses for the students. With the technology in classrooms, there is no funding to upgrade or even replace the equipment that is there. The computer are old and do not work. Many students would ask Ms. Lilly to print their papers but...

...Pot, Weed and Mary Jane: Whichever Name, Keep it Illegal November 6th 2012, a date that will live in infamy for more reasons than one. While one may associate this day with the election of Barack Obama into his second term as President of the United States, weed smokers across the nation rejoiced for another reason. That very same day, a groundbreaking law was passed legalizing the recreational use of marijuana in Colorado and Washington. In the eyes of many avid smokers, this law was just as monumental as landing on the moon was for Neil Armstrong: one small step for man and one giant leap for mankind. Despite the fact that marijuana is legalized for recreational use in these two states and legalized for medicinal purposes in 16 others, the drug is still forbidden under federal law, meaning marijuana is still an illegal drug. For decades, the subject of legalization has been a recurring theme in Washington and state governments. Should marijuana join the ranks of alcohol and cigarettes and be made legal? No, we must realize the damaging health effects and the detrimental societal/cultural effects that legalizing marijuana could have on Americans in the future. Although there are some advantages to legalizing marijuana in the United States, the disadvantages tremendously outweigh any advantages when considering this touchy topic in politics. Of course, there has been research conducted that states that marijuana could be positive for the nation. Advocates to legalization suggest...
