...them every day, they attend 6 month check-ups and they brush side to side. Even though they knew this basic information, there was so much more dental health to learn about. After their discussion about dental health we discovered they wanted to learn about fillings, how to properly brush their teeth and why, why do we use mouthwash, how do we get rotten teeth and finally why do our gums bleed when we floss. I then began researching how to teach these topics of what the students wanted to learn more about. Phase Two I developed a variety of lessons to help teach about dental health. I got some great visual aids from the school nurse which I used throughout my lessons. Some of the visual aids I used throughout the lessons were a model of a mouth with teeth for types of teeth, model of parts of the tooth when learning the parts of the tooth, and a big tooth brush when I taught proper techniques of brushing. The first lesson I begun with a story titled, “I know why I brush my teeth” by Kate Rowen. This book was very informative with great information about our teeth. I used the visual aid of the mouth while we discussed in more detail...

...Nathan Clark Design for Instruction Task The information gathered from my contextual factors and pre-assessment inform me of what type of students I will be teaching. The contextual factors help me to have a better understanding of the type of demographic my students belong to and what type of learning styles they attain. This information will also allow me to know of any outside characteristics that may inhibit learning for an individual student and the students as a whole. For example, some students may have learning disabilities and the student’s as a whole may react negatively to artworks involving polytheism. Giving the pre-assessment allowed me to fully understand what level my students are performing for that particular unit. I have found that I need to focus a lot of time on vocabulary definitions and how to apply the terms to artwork. Prompt Results of Pre-Assessment The students in this introductory level drawing class consists of students that are required to take this class as an elective or students who have an interest in drawing and wish to pursue it. The students in this class have limited experience with the concepts and skills in drawing. The pre-assessment results allow for an analysis of where the students are in terms of general knowledge. The pre-assessment for learning goal one allowed me to have a base quality level of the students’ performance. It enables me to see what each student is capable of in terms of skill and...

...Writing Review Throughout this English 111 course, I have learned tremendous amounts of information and skills that I will carry with me and use throughout the remainder of my life. This class has helped me to not only become a better writer but also to become an active reader too. Needless to say, I have attempted this class in the past, this is the second time I have taken this course, and I must say I am glad that I did.

Unfortunately, I haven’t done any other writing this semester other than this class because this is the only...

...This course provided a whole new experience for me. Growing up I always excelled in english and writing papers was a breeze for me. I would always get an easy A without much effort, but this course provided me with a real challenge. I found that the grading was much more critical and the content expected was at a much higher level than ever before. However, all of the challenges I faced in this class proved to beneficial to me as I did end up getting a better grade with each paper. This class brought me many great experiences and taught me countless lessons, some that will last a lifetime. One of most valuable lessons this class taught me was how to manage my time more effectively. I suffer from a bad case of procrastination, but the amount of time allotted for each of these essays didn’t give me time to do much procrastinating. I became much better at just writing instead of sitting and thinking what I should say. Then after I wrote my essay I went back and edited the content of my paper to bring it up to college level writing. I also found paper rater to be a big help with this because it helped to transform my high school level writing into something much more mature through the vocab tool it provides. All of these factors helped me to overcome my second nature of putting things off and I even have started...

...Final Paper: Convince Me!/The Break-Up (This document is 2 pages long. Please review both pages) For your final paper, you must convince me that you learned in this class. How? Keep reading…. Watch the film, “The Break-Up” (starring Vince Vaughn and Jennifer Aniston). This film displays every concept we have learned about: The Communication Process, Conflict, Nonverbal Communication, Verbal Communication, Perception and more. You may rent this if you like. But, you may view the film for free on the NCC Library Database, “Swank Films”. Here is the link: http://dc.swankmp.com/ncc332328/sdc/watch.aspx?v=d7563ad740ae4ffa943ffcbeadc17cb2 How should I approach this paper? Good question! Here’s my suggestion. Browse through the lectures/lessons from the course to refresh your memory. While you’re watching the movie, have a notebook in front of you. As you see scenes that cause you to think about lessons, jot down a bit about the scene and what lesson, concept, or theory came to mind when you watched it. When you’re done watching the movie, go back to your lectures and think more critically about these connections and make your notes more complete. Now what? Once you’ve done this, you have a basis for your paper. Now it’s time to formalize it a bit. Below are the requirements of the paper. So, you will now have to put everything together to do the following: Write an introductory paragraph that gives an overview of the concepts/theories that you...

...A few Things I have learned in my 18 Years Life tosses a lot of lessons, some are difficult to learn and some are easier, it’s all about how you handle it. Something’s that life wants you to know, are little and stupid and seem life they don’t have any significance to your life. However, it is either going to educate you not to do it again, or it will be a amusing story to tell your friends down the road. The little things make life a little lighter sometimes where as the large things helps you open your eyes and helps you in the long run. Life has taught me numerous things. Everyday I learn something new, adding to that list. One of the very first things that I recall learning, is to not lie on the ground attempting to look underneath the vacuum when mom is in the middle of vacuuming. For some individuals, this lesson is one that does not need to be learned, but for me, it was something I had to learn. Spending hours of crying, as my mother pulled every strand of hair out, and hours of my mom being annoyed yet laughing about it anyways because how bizarre is it, that I got my hair stuck in the vacuum. While facing the pain, I thought I learned that I should steer clear of housework; my mom on the other hand, did not. Something else I have learned is that telling someone that they look ill or worn-out, isn’t going to make him or her feel better. I, of all people should know, this because if someone were to walk up to me and say something like that, my heart would...

...decisions in technical, managerial and policy areas. The decisions were input into the virtual environment. In addition, environmental events such as hacker attacks, an economic downturn, or natural disasters were injected into the environment. The interplay of teams’ decisions and events resulted in various outcomes for each team on a number of indicators such as profitability, employee morale, national security, and system downtime. Each team analyzed how their organization performed in the round, and applied lessons learned as they made decisions for the simulation. Grading on the assignments depended less on the outcomes of a team’s performance, and more on how each team analyzed their environment and options and how they justified their decisions. The environment provided a place for each team to discuss the justifications for their decisions. Now that the final round has completed, please summarize your team’s results, observations and lessons learned in the Week 12 Team Assignment and discuss your and other team’s results in the Week 12 Conference area.

...faces both challenges, and rewards. Three of these challenges are being able to manage time, building relationships with students, and executing the lesson in an effective way for various learners. Some of the rewards of being a teacher, the best part, is once one has built relations with students, knowing that students learned what they needed for the day, and students having a positive attitude coming, during, and leaving the classroom. Managing time will be one of the hardest challenges for first year teachers. Planning a lesson, being in the classroom and ready to go when the students walk in, staying after class to end the day, than going home with stacks of papers to grade will be very exhausting. It is going to take a lot of time for a new teacher to get a routine going. It may take trial and error until they have one that fits them. Especially if a teacher has a family at home they have to take care of as well at the end of the day. Thinking about one having to be up and active and on top of things in a classroom and at home seems almost impossible. A few solutions learned is staying after school hours if needed to get the lesson for the following day planned. This will help one be more prepared. Another solution learned is to try and always stay up to pace once a routine is practiced. This means to keep up with grading papers and such because it is easy for those things to get overwhelming and to fall behind. The next challenge...

She allowed me many opportunities to gather information and to thrive. She helped me plan lessons, she asked...
