...Collaborative learning involves a group of people working together to solve a problem, completing a task or creating a product. One part of collaborative learning is Positive Interdependence this is students working together to accomplish a task in which success depends on participation by each person. Team members basically have to rely on one another to achieve the goal set. If one team member fails then everyone suffers the consequences. All of us experienced some kind of difficulty when working together in a group, whether by just physical proximity, common needs and goals, or simply by the need of individuals to establish interpersonal relationships. Study the concept, nature, development and importance to organisations of groups and teams may become a full-time job due to its subjectivity and difference views of it. Another thing is Individual Accountability, where all students in a group are held accountable for doing their share of the work and for knowing their bit of the task. In one of my experiences in a group I learnt that groups can be rewarding to the individual because an individual can actually learn from other members of the group. I joined a group in which our tutor told us to build a stand up support for a sonic toy and we were told to make it from paper. We all had our ideas on how we wanted the support to stand up, but instead of pursuing personal goals we brought our ideas together and we came up with a better idea and I also learnt things I did not...

I am required to investigate an existing small business and to prepare a report which assesses the quality of its customer’s service. I am also required to consider how best the quality of customer service can be improved. Company Background The local business I have chosen is an Asian restaurant called ‘Kebabish’. The business has been running since 2006 but the owners have been changing since then. Generally the business is not too big, only 8 employees work there but with different shifts, 4 employees from 11:00am-6:00pm and 4 employees 6:00pm-01:00am, they also have one break during their shift which 30 minutes long. Roughly business has 1000-1500 customers on weekly bases according to the owner (Appendix A). The restaurant mostly offer Asian food and comes under mass industrial market.

...How does Sherriff make this conversation between Osborne and Trotter particularly moving and significant? Sherriff makes this conversation between Osborne and Trotter particularly moving and significant in many different ways. Firstly, the way that Trotter and Osborne converse about home makes this passage very emotional. Trotter says how he “had a decent little grass plot in front, with flower-borders – geraniums, lobelia, and calceolaria – you know, red, white, and blue.” This extract is particularly emotional because it plays a stark contrast to the lives the two of them live now and the surroundings they are in, making them miss home even more. As well as this, the colour’s red, white and blue represent the Union Flag, enforcing the idea of home on to the characters and the reader. Talking about home with each other also offers Trotter and Osborne a form of escapism from the war, which also makes this passage particularly emotional. Another way that Sherriff makes this passage poignant and key is by touching on how Raleigh is coming to terms with how Stanhope has become a changed man during the war. At home, Raleigh viewed Stanhope as his hero but now he does not feel this way. Sherriff shows this by using the stage directions ‘with lowered head’ when Raleigh answers to Trotters’ question, “uncanny, wasn’t it Raleigh?” with regards to how Stanhope didn’t seem to know who Trotter was. This stage direction clearly suggests that Raleigh is very sad when he hears Trotter...

...I am currently studying for my GCSE exams at Wyvern College. So far, I have taken French GCSE in year 9 and achieved a C grade and in Year 10 a B in GCSE core Science. This is something I am proud of as I worked hard to achieve my goal and it has allowed me to develop my independent learning. I chose History, Drama, Citizenship and Food Technology as my GCSE options. One of my favourite subjects at Wyvern is history as I find it really interesting to learn about our past conflict with other countries. I also enjoy Drama as I am able to take a leading role within a group and work within a team really well. I have previously led and directed a group towards the final performance in class which has allowed me to build on my confidence. I had...

...Explore the view that texting can be very creative forms of language use. Introduction In this piece of work, I plan to explore the view that texting can be very creative forms of language use. I shall explore into arguments both for and against being a creative form of language use by looking at specific language features used in texts and consider the effects these have on the language we use. Data collected from a variety of texts to and from members in my class will help form the basis of my investigation and will help me explore the view that texting can be a very creative forms of language use. Paragraph 1 Friedhelm Hillebrand who lived in Germany decided in 1985 that 160 characters were enough for a text message. In 1989 Edward Lantz sent the first text message through a Motorola beeper (pager). The first commercial SMS message was sent over the Vodafone network in Britain on 3 December 1992, from Neil Papworth of the Sema Group using a computer to Richard Jarvis of Vodafone. The message read "Merry Christmas". The first SMS typed on a mobile phone is claimed to have been sent by Riku Pihkonen, an engineer student at Nokia, in 1993. Text messaging, or texting, is the act of typing and sending a brief, electronic message between two or more mobile phones or fixed or portable devices over a phone network. The term originally referred to messages sent using the Short Message Service (SMS); it has grown to include messages containing image, video, and sound content...

...At the snap of a finger, the film industry would forever change. The introduction of sync sound technology changed the film industry in a way that nothing had ever affected it before. From the first few movies after the explosion of sound including Blood of a Poet (1930) and Horse Feathers (1932), to the classic thriller Psycho (1960), the way people made films was constantly changing and evolving to not only meet audience demand, but creative demand as well. Directors were now able to use sound technology to tell stories in a way that had not been done before in the history of cinema, and when done well, the sound would pair perfectly with the visual storytelling to create an astounding film. One of the first sound films, Blood of a Poet, was also one of the most controversial films of the era. The film is about an artist that paints a mouth that comes to life. The film has a lot to say about artists, how they act, and who they are. The film also deals with homoeroticism, something that was a very taboo subject for the time. The film was very controversial and extremely experimental at the time, and could still be considered experimental today. Blood of a Poet is also a film that was made for the director, Jean Cocteau. The movie was created with the purpose of pleasing Cocteau, not the audience like many other films during the era, and of all time. Blood of a Poet also does a lot of interesting things with special movement and asks the question, “What is natural...

...1. How my thinking about teaching GCSE maths re-sits has changed during the course. My thinking about teaching GCSE maths re-sits has changed in that I’m more focused on improving the learning of my students. Simplistically, before it may have been a case of “What do they need to know?” and then relaying what the student needs to know for that particular subject, in a clear and concise manner, which may have been “got” by most students, but then they would have forgot the method shortly afterwards when it came to a formative or a summative assessment. Now I’m more determined to help students learn in a way that is going to be enjoyable to them and help them remember what they need to for the exam. This will involve doing more kinaesthetic and visual activities as a lot of learners learn by doing. Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) The course has introduced me to Hodder Education’s range of books called ‘Making Sense of Maths’ for KS3 and KS4 (http://www.hoddereducation.co.uk/makingsenseofmaths). Mr Gough, a maths teacher and one of the authors of the aforementioned book(s) states the following: “My experience of teaching GCSE Foundation Tier is that by the time they get to KS4 they’ve already covered most of the content and they’re having the same content repeated in the same way that they found difficult in the first place so my experience of using this approach is that it seemed very different to them and it reinvigorated their interest in maths and they were...

...HRF components • Cardiovascular fitness is the ability to exercise the whole body for long periods of time and is sometimes called stamina. • Muscular strength is the amount of force a muscle can exert against a resistance. • Muscular endurance is the ability to use voluntary muscles many times without becoming tired. • Flexibility is the range of movement possible at a joint. It helps performers to stretch and reach further. • Body composition is the percentage of body weight which is fat, muscle or bone. It helps sportspeople depending on the type of sport they play, eg heavy rugby players are more effective in the scrum than lightweight players, but light long distance runners will always beat heavyweights. SRF components • Agility - the ability to change the position of the body quickly and with control. This helps team players dodge their opponents. • Balance - the ability to retain the centre of mass above the base of support when stationary (static balance) or moving (dynamic balance). • Co-ordination - the ability to use two or more body parts together. This helps all athletes to move smoothly and quickly especially when also having to control a ball. • Power - the ability to use strength at speed. This helps athletes to jump high, throw far or sprint quickly. Power = Strength x Speed. • Reaction time - the time between the presentation of a stimulus and the onset of a movement. • Speed is the rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement...

...Music Revision Relative Keys: In music, relative keys are the major and minor scales that have the same key signatures. A major and minor scale sharing the same key signature are said to be in a relative relationship. The relative minor of a particular major key, or the relative major of a minor key, is the key which has the same key signature but a different tonic; this is as opposed to parallel minor or major, which shares the same tonic. Relative keys are closely related keys, the keys between which most modulations occur, in that they differ by no more than one accidental (none in the case of relative keys) The minor key starts three semitones below its relative major; for example, A minor is three semitones below its relative, C Major. G major and E minor both have a single sharp in their key signature at F♯; therefore, E minor is the relative minor of G major, and conversely G major is the relative major of E minor. The tonic of the relative minor is the sixth scale degree of the major scale, while the tonic of the relative major is the third degree of the minor scale. > (marked near note head) | Accent: emphasis on a particular note | A triad is a chord of three notes. | | The chord built on the first note of the scale, I, is called the tonic. The chord built on the fourth IV is called the subdominant and the V is called the dominant. These chords are also known as the first, fourth and fifth degrees of the scale. * A concord is a chord where all the...

...The Sanctity of Life The sanctity of life dictates that all life, at the moment of conception, is sacred and only belongs to God, therefore giving nobody the right to take it away but God himself. The idea of the sanctity of life is used as an argument for topics such as euthanasia, abortions and embryo research. In Christianity, it is believed that God made us all individual in his own image, life is a gift granted to each and every person, to commit suicide or to kill, is like rejecting the gift from god or denying that gift to others. The Qur'an states that killing an innocent person is equal to killing all of mankind. Not only human life, but all life is sacred. Killing is only allowed for criminals. Innocent persons, no matter what their religion is, are sacred. Neither killing innocent people, nor suicide, are allowed in Islam. A recent news report states that in America there have been around 56 million abortions since it was legalised 40 years ago. Abortions go against both the Islamic idea of the sanctity of life and also the Christian view of it also. Even if the baby is not born yet, it is still living just as we are. By killing an unborn child you take away their opportunities, chances to feel emotions such as joy and sadness and most of all, the entire lives that they would have lived had they not been eradicated simply because of irresponsible, inconsiderate parents. These children are unborn, meaning that they could not have possibly committed a crime in their...

...The Beggar Woman by William King | The Poet: William King (1663-1712)Little is known about William King except that he was educated at Christ Church College Cambridge, and made a living as a lawyer and judge while writing occasional satires and comic verse, most of which were published anonymously. | The Beggar Woman is like a story, it suggests that it should be read to people. This is again because it is aimed at lower class and uneducated people who would have to have someone read it to them rather than reading it for themselves. It is written in the tradition of the street or broadside ballads, printed stories in verse that were sold cheaply and passed around for pleasure, often dealing with popular scandals and murder stories. In a time before the popular press and television chat shows, these ballads satisfied a need for entertaining stories, a tradition that has deep roots in oral traditions of storytelling and wandering minstrels.At the beginning of this poem, there is a description of a gentleman out hunting, which is an upper class activity, as they are the only people who could afford to take part in such an expensive activity, also by the fact he is described as a 'Gentleman' suggests he belongs to the upper class or 'Gentry'. The 'Gentleman gets separated from his group and spots the 'Beggar Woman'. He then propositions her for sex. She obliges and they wander off into the nearby wood. She is described as 'game', because really to the man that is all she is...
