...Introduction Creating an effective scheme of work, less than a term into a teaching career, was certainly daunting. Given the complexities of planning for a single lesson – taking into account a long and growing list of factors ‘from provision to pupils with SEN’ to the ‘literacy objective’ that considerably lengthen every written plan – the hurdles to overcome when planning for an 8-week scheme would surely but multiply. While the freedom at my fingertips was invigorating, there was the gnawing sense that failure to grasp the key issues involved would lead to the teacher’s greatest fear – wasted lessons; wasted lessons after which the class would struggle to maintain a respect for the teacher. Furthermore, it would be the waste of an outstanding opportunity. As commentators to the publication Teaching History have repeatedly stressed, the new History National Curriculum for Key Stage 3 offers teachers a ‘glorious flexibility’ to throw out the straight-jacket of centralised requirements beholden to political overlords (Dawson 2008, 18). Instead, led by a relit passion for their discipline, teachers are able to respond to the very specific needs of their school and construct personalised routes towards a variety of objectives. For some commentators, the National Curriculum Key Concepts and their accompanying levels represent the vestiges of an ancien regime of central control that prevent true pupil ownership developing (see Knight 2008). However, a determination to facilitate...

...The Friedel text is a work created in 1740 by German Pastor, Johann Paul Friedel. He resides in the village Oberweißbach, which is part of the larger municipality of Königsee, located near the rugged Thuringian Forest. The work combines a strange collection of issues, including how to rear and educate Christian children, basic information for the common man, and a history of the perfume trade in the local community. The beginning of the book is intended to assist in the rearing, education and disciplining of children. It illustrates the necessity of raising children in the Christian faith, and references the importance of learning such items as the Deuteronomy and the Lutheran Catechisms. Both of which give us reference into the historical period of the piece. Friedel also greatly advocates that the “fear of God” should be instilled into people’s lives, and furthermore that the “fear of Lord is the genesis of wisdom”. He states that both parents and children must use this fear to rule their decision making and lifestyle choices, and if so will be rewarded with an honourable, joyful life. The book is created to give both parents and teachers a reference guide of subjects that children should learn in order to develop into a knowledgeable honest adult, including reading and writing skills, and basic arithmetic. The piece uses common sense logic and aims to teach the basic skills such as proper greetings, common letter writing techniques and basic mathematic requirements...

...Aguirre 1 Faver Aguirre Professor Schmidt English 112 21 November 2013 History Recycled in the Works of T.C. Boyle History's repeating itself is a dominant theme throughout T.C. Boyle's short stories and novels. If people do not learn from past mistakes, they are likely to fail again. By revisiting history, the author teaches the importance of awareness and caution in an ever-changing society. In “The Tortilla Curtain” published in 1995 a specific migrant problem in the 1930s is modified to fit contemporary immigration. Candido and America's battle for survival after immigrating to the United States repeats a similar event depicted in Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. Boyle's twisted short stories in the “If the River Was Whiskey” mirror events in history in the light of modern times. The similarities between the Van Brunts and the Van Warts in “The World's End “contribute to identical generations, separated by three hundred years. In his writing Boyle attacks modern society's conceited, self-absorbed attitude, and he discourages reiteration of the past. In “The Tortilla Curtain” Boyle recycles a past dilemma as he writes of a problem similar to the "Dust Bowl" migration of the 1930s. Candido Rincon and his wife America travel from Mexico to live here in America through the "Tortilla Curtain" searching for work while constantly trying to achieve the American Dream. In this journey, the Rincons encounter several racist obstacles including a pack of white men who...

...Ryan O’Connor Palenscar American History to 1865 10/24/12 What is your name, sir? I prefer not to indulge that information. The industrious employer would tell you that the quirkiness of his workers brings character to a seemingly dull job. However in the case Bartleby this man is infinitely perplexed he cannot understand what it is exactly that drives his new employee to be so goddamn passive. The employer is taken aback by this its as if the idea of some man taking these great liberties is too unexpected to punish. At one point Bartleby kicks the employer out of his own office on a Sunday. (page 16) This passiveness that Bartleby imposes on the employer is nothing hes ever seen before and he can’t wrap his head round it. However unlike the other employees of this man he cana always rely on Bartleby. This I where problems arise, his work staff is so quirky it’s as if he revels in the fact that he can tell the stories of these great man and that more important to an industrious work force is the fact that he can re tell the stories of these men. This man has a great deal of pity for the workers he employs and seems to supercede himself towards them. If I were in the shoes of this man I would call upon my staff and tell them that their quirks were being documented and would write a memoir in which all of their quirks would be spoken of. Once under this scrutiny my workers would naturally fix their strange behavior as they have to be remembered in the shiny hue...

...Evaluation My intention for my exam piece was to continue my work on the human form that I had explored within my personal investigation but apply it to the Mythology question within my exam. Because I wanted to retain my focus on the human figure I focused my work on exploring elements and creatures within mythology that carried similar characteristics and features, e.g. mermaids, sirens, gods and others which also carry animalistic elements such as the Minotaur and Faun. However unlike my personal investigation I was unsure in the beginning as to whether I wanted to continue my focus just on the female form or develop my work further into male representations. Previously within my AS exam work I had kept to a relatively small scale, but during the development to A2 I found I was able to produce larger pieces that contained a greater level of detail and took longer to construct. As the exam was to fulfil 15 hours I decided that I would produce one or two large pieces as part of my final piece, I knew that this would be possible has I had been able to produce a life size figure of a woman and infant within the final 10 hours of my personal investigation. Although I was aware that I wanted to create a large mythological human figure I was unsure as to the exact area that I would limit the subject of my work to, in the beginning I contemplated with the idea of creating a large (but not life size) figure of one creature from within mythology however I had already created something...

...Boss less office: Future Reality or Dream. ‘Every organization has to prepare for the abandonment of everything it does.’ Peter Drucker Are you angry at your boss? Be boss less... I have always loved my bosses, but most of the time we all have some or other kind of problems with our bosses. Imagine work environments where there are no bosses and no titles, where employees decide among themselves which projects to pursue and which people to hire and fire, and where each employee is responsible for deciding his or her own salary, raises and vacation days. Sounds different and quiet awkward but this is the recent talk of town of an innovation in HR. The boss less vision is being discussed on both theoretical and practical terms. Some see it as the democracy of the office place. E.g.: Valve Corp, a videogame maker in Washington State, has been boss free since 1996. It also has no managers and no official project assignments. How do the 300 employees coordinate their work? They self manage: they recruit each other for worthwhile projects, and they roll their desks around (all are on wheels) to reconfigure their work teams as they wish. Salaries and raises are set by committees of your peers. At Valve, with each project one person tends to emerge as the de facto leader, but they’re not assigned from on higher authorities. And then there are some companies who gave employee partially boss free environment. For e.g.: At Gore, they tell...
