However, these campers learned the hard way just how important directions are. Sometimes people don't follow simple directions. However, these campers learned the hard way just how important directions are. It was a wonderful week to camp in the great outdoors, even if some of their friends thought it was a strange way to spend a romantic vacation. Alliyah and Shane were looking forward to their week at Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee. Little did they know what a learning experience this trip would be. After a scenic drive through the glorious mountains, Alliyah and Shane arrived at the camping area. A tall, skinny ranger dreesed in a blue uniform who stood at the booth handed them a map and asked, “Have you ever camped with us before?” “A better question would be if we ever camped before,” Shane answered wryly. “You’ll be fine. Just remember, this isn’t a hotel. We do have bears and other animals in the area, so lock your food up in the car,” said the ranger as he handed them a lists of Do’s and Don’ts. After they were handed the list they continued a safe drive until they arrived at the campsite. They started to set up camp. Alliyah and Shane were very excited to start their first camping experience. Exhausted from their first attempt at setting up a campsite, Alliyah and Shane...

...main focus is to determine how literary film adaptations are useful for educational texts. This essay relies on multiple pieces of evidence. As the essay states there are three major reasons for adaptation which are, the bestseller argument, which means it is a good profit to make a movie off of an already bestselling book. Also, the prestige involved in the film’s close relationship to literature. Last, is that the best story is often found between the covers of a novel. These three major reasons for adaptation are facts. Other pieces of evidence include, the four steps after you have read the novel and then seen the film adaptation of it. The first step is to compare the two discourses on a strictly narrative level. Second, is to study the results from verbal to visual representation. Third, to figure out if the film tried to developed similarities to the novel that we not transferable, and finally to collect all of the film’s main theme or themes compared to the novel. These four steps are an example of experimental data. The reason why you should study film adaptation in class is because it offers an insight into the nature of expression through words and pictures, as well as, to stimulate the interest for reading. The author states this evidence as a personal testimony of why he/she teaches film adaptation in education texts. There are also factual theories stated in the essay for adaptation studies. One is Narratology, which describes the nature and the elements of a narrative...

How would you explain the difference between ethics and morality? Provide an example of morality and one of ethics in your explanation. Ethics are codes of conduct that pertain to a community, family, company or a nation. On the other hand, morality refers to personal sets of beliefs about what is right and wrong.

This is why it is common for people to make incorrect usage. It is better to understand the meanings of two words before highlighting their difference. While ethics refers to a code of behavior in reference to a group, whether it is family, community or a nation, morals are more personal in nature. Ethics in a social system refers to a philosophy morality finds application. Ethics is a very broad term and you can have family ethics, company ethics, social ethics or even national ethics.

...Managing teacher education and in-service programs: Learning styles perspective Urban schools and minority students. It is possible that the quality of teaching is inadequate only in urban schools attended by poor children who are members of minority groups. In a family with three or more children, one will do well, another will perform adequately and another will be bored or frustrated on an almost daily basis. • Special education and need for in-service. Parents are led to believe that special education is a legitimate classification for students who are unable to learn. But if future teachers were being taught to identify and teach to their student’s learning styles during their initial training, the need for frequent retraining would be drastically diminished. • Lack of student discipline and/or motivation. It is often said that students are not as well disciplined or as highly motivated as students used to be. Motivation is not biologically imposed; it results from students’ experiences and interests. Teachers who are unable to motivate and teach their students need to learn how to do so. • Children taking prescription medications. Physicians may not understand that active and nonconforming children learn differently from the way passive, conforming children do. Parents allow their active children to be drugged because they are unaware that their children can learn; that traditional instructional approaches are not responsive to how their children learn. • Cultural...

...Seabury ENB 110, TR 10:50 Essay #2 22 September 2015 The Freshman Guide to College Survival To all current and future seniors, what are your plans after high school? Going to college? Ok, and what do you expect to get out of college? You probably think you know what differentiates high school from college but, I can assure you that you have no idea. From living situations to time management, college is different roller coaster but, it is on your shoulders on how you handle it. This transition is not going to be easy to deal with, for you nor your parents. Most freshmen can handle themselves for the first couple of days while others are already calling on the first night for the first flight back home. Now at this point you might be thinking "Where will I go?", "What should I wear?", "Will people like me?” etc. but, in reality none of that matters. There are more than a dozen rules in which you may need to actually survive your freshman year of college but, the two factors in which you’ll need the most guidance from is the Freshman Facebook page and roommates. Before you pack up almost everything that you own: clothes, shoes, and photos of everybody you know… one of the first things you’ll likely do after enrolling in school is join the Freshman Facebook Page for your class. Whether you post about the food, classes, or just other classmates that you see around campus, posting helps you to get to know every freshman (even the people you don’t see) socially. Currently, looking...

...The Evolvement of Technology over Decades and the continuing effect on the Environment | IT Essay | | The following text is characterized by an Essay in which it outlines in four solid body paragraphs, integral identified reasons whereby technology has developed, progressed and advanced over decades and what problems these are causing the environment. | | Chenoa Fawkes | 3/18/2014 | | Trends in Information and Communications in Technology have constantly evolved over the past century. The way information was stored has significantly changed. The way we communicate. The gadgets and devices we use to operate our daily life. Even to the point of programs on the computer that you simply press a button and amazing things happen. The problem we need to greatly consider is ‘What Impact does all these new sophisticated technologies have on the environment?’ When you consider the negative impacts on the environment in regards to ICT, it is frightening to think that there are some very harmful issues. Such issues include the production and distribution of ICT equipment, energy consumption and carbon emission during the use and disposal and recycling of equipment. Production and distribution of computers and other electronic devices is a very complicated and sometimes harmful process. Assembling a computer involves up to 1000 items, many of which are highly poisonous. ‘The list includes chlorinated and brominated substances, toxic gases, toxic metals, photoactive and...

...different tribes, different parts of the world, different language, and different ways of communication non-verbal – better defined – across different cultures. But when does one’s culture stop being an excuse for doing something that has always been done, and when does national culture matter? Culture: To be able to define the concept ’’culture’’ you have to be aware of the basic norms which you take for granted in your own behavior. You express culture in symbolic forms, whether you have a cross around your neck or a headscarf on your head. It is the result of a learning process through life, and it forms your values, behavior, ideas, ways of communicating (verbal and non-verbal) and simply the rules you are living by – all your do’s and don’ts . Take a look at the article ‘’given all we know of whales, why resume the slaughter?’’ from The Guardian Online, April 6, 2010 by Paola Calalieri, it suggests that ‘’we now live in globalized times’’ but even though we have made it more easy to communicate (Internet etc.) & to travel across borders, the borders are still there, meaning the culture is still different within each border. Many international organizations have tried, and some succeeded, to introduce international laws, like the WTO (World Trade Organization), NGO (Non-Governmental Organization) and the Human Right Organization; also there is an International Whaling Commission which is trying to prevent different cetaceans from becoming extinct. If they succeeded...

...How To Reduce Federal Deficits Like most Americans I want to educate myself in ways to reduce the deficit of this nation so I can sleep more sound at night. U.S. federal deficits should be reduced by cutting certain entitlement programs, implementing privatization, and increasing taxes on the rich. In this essay, I will provide hard facts that will not only reduce federal deficits, but also increase productivity and employment. These are specific ways to cut spending and raise revenue. Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are the three of the government’s most popular and relied upon programs. Congress needs to curb the growth in spending on them and other entitlements. Entitlement programs have accounted for more than fifty percent of the federal spending since the 1980’s. It’s the biggest driver of the long-term national debt. Eliminate all the wast, fraud and abuse you can find. Over eighty billion is defrauded from these programs every year. Cut more out of discretionary programs, that includes defense. All these moves combined may not clear the national debt, but that’s because theyre not the main cause of long-term deficits. With an aging population and rising health care costs which in return there are fewer workers per retiree paying taxes into the programs. As a result speding on medicare, Medicaid, and to an extent Social Security will rise substantially absent structural changes. Most specifically in the way health care is delivered and reimbursed. When measured...

... whether the theoretical lessons do bring them benefits or simply serve as a formality. This essay is dedicated to give an explanation regarding the problem while stating the reasons. For the sake of argument, the world of culinary is really deep and complicated to be understood by simply practicing and cooking in the kitchen, much less by a novice. Theoretical lessons for culinary are made in order to teach the students about the method of cooking which will bring the best out of the ingredients. The lessons have proven to be quite effective, for the students are able to follow the step by step in preparing some dishes. Still, there may be some complications in merely studying the theory, because at the end of the day, the theories that are learned cannot be simply applied to practical lessons thoroughly because of the difference in only knowing and applying them into action. The following are the reasons as to why theoretical lessons are still needed in learning culinary. Firstly, one needs to know the basic of cooking to be able to act accordingly in the kitchen. For students, some of whom may be complete beginners when it comes to cooking, theoretical lessons may help them improve their skills and knowledge, and also serve as a guidance while cooking. A suitable example will be the preparation of fresh vegetables in pre-cooking. From theoretical lessons students learn the ‘do’s’ and ‘don’t’s’, like they they should peel the vegetable skin as thin as possible and cut prior...
