...Mark Piehl 2-17-11 Significant object essay for a grade Pokemon Cards As a child growing up I was completely infatuated with collecting Pokémon cards. The cardboard scent and the ripping sound of the reflective plastic package really got me excited like a little kid on Christmas day. I was always on the look out for the special holographic cards, which meant this particular card was rare. I had piles and piles of these cards that really aren’t worth anything now a days stuffed in a vans cardboard box under my bed hidden by a fluffy pillow because I thought one of my friends would try to sabotage my collection. Everyday of the week I would try to hustle my mom for four dollars so I could feed my unstoppable habit of buying more Pokémon cards. My old heavyset neighbor who wore small round rim glasses would trade cards with me back and fourth, unfortunately he usually never wanted to trade with me because he always had better cards. This bothered me to the core; he only did not have two of the rarest cards out in the market at the time, Charzard holographic and the Mew. The Charzard card resembles an orange fiery dinosaur that destroys anything that crosses its path within a few seconds. The Mew looks like a small pink alien with big bright yellow eyes that can magically cast spells on the enemy. Every card has a blue wave on the back of it with a red and white pokey ball that resembles the home of where the Pokémon evolve. The mere sight of this gave me a chill down my skinny...

...“Cartoons on Children” As for the beginning, I would like to recall your childhood memories. When you were a kid, do you like to watch cartoons? Is anyone in this room interested in Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon? I still remember, when I was in primary school, the Dragon Ball and Sailor Moon will be on air every Saturday and Sunday, at 9 am. So today, I'm not going to talk further about dragon ball or Sailor Moon, but I want to share about the adverse effects of cartoons on children. Typically, children begin watching cartoons on television at an early age of six months, and by the age two or three years, children become excited viewers. This has become an acute problem because too many children are watching too much television and the shows that they are watching, even if they are cartoons, have become violent and addictive. Unfortunately, children watch the cartoons on television and they see material that is not appropriate for their age of group. The Children who watch too much cartoons on television are more likely to have behavioral problems, along with brain and eye injuries and increase risks in child safety. The first effect is behavioral problems. Some cartoons, even the main character in the cartoon show shows a bad behavior. They always watch the cartoons characters and trying to act like the cartoons. Not only the actions, but the children will also follow the behavior showed by the cartoons. Why am I saying this? It is because it has happened to my little cousin, which...

...EV training and breeding Pokemon has been a staple of the franchise for years. In Pokemon X and Y, some mechanics of breeding and EV training were made easier for those patient trainers who wanted to breed the perfect EV/Egg/Hidden Ability Pokemon. In Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, EV training was made even easier than its predecessor and it will make for a much more fulfilling job when you train your perfect Pokemon. From the basics, to special moves and items to help you along the way, EV training in Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire is not as much a chore as it used to be. And while breeding is a part of customizing your ‘perfect’ Pokemon -- we’ll get to Breeding in ORAS later -- this guide will deal with EV Training in ORAS exclusively. Also, it will be silly of us to mention EV training with mentioning the Super Training. It hasn't changed since X and Y and you should definitely complete that before doing this. So how exactly does Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire make it easier to EV train your Pokemon? Let’s take a look. Basics Let’s start with the basics of EV training. As many veteran trainers know, every Pokemon is allowed 510 Effort Value points that will go into their overall stats. These points are based on what Pokemon you defeat. Each Pokemon in ORAS has a specific amount in a given stat their EV points go toward. For example: A Wingull gives 1 Speed point. Each stat is allotted 252 EV points to max out a Pokemon’s potential in...

...Fashion and Fads Fashions and fads have been around for as long as anyone can remember. Everyone has their own sense of style, and that changes over time to something new and exciting. The definition of fashion was described as a social pattern favored by a large number of people. With beautiful women walking along the red carpet in their red chiffon that cost them thousands of dollars and average people walking around in denim jeans bargaining for their outfits where does the line of fashion get drawn? Women and men go to Wal-Mart, Target, TJ Maxx, JC Penny, etc to get good deals on pants, shirts, suits, and dresses that are in for the season but not available financially. When stars have seen their outfits hit the shelves of discount stores they move on to something more expensive, desirable, and unnecessary. Denim jeans used to be worn by hard laboring workers and then moved on to being worn by the stars of Hollywood. But, if an average person wore an outfit worn by a star they’d move on to finding something new. Where does the line get drawn between frivolous and necessary? As times have changed women and men’s clothes have changed pushing the envelope of what is appropriate and what is just flat out provocative. Before MTV and other scandalous television shows became popular women and men dressed to impress and covered their skin to be taken seriously in their career and towards their peers. With fashion of bonnets, three piece suits, and full length dresses this...

...Our first day at the Child Study Center, we as a group were in the dragonflies classroom, and we were there to observe the children and how they interact with each other while planning for our activity that we would do with them the next time. During our first visit, Mrs. Jackie explained to us that the children loved creating stories and saving people. Also, Mrs. Jackie showed us some of the books that the students created that involving saving people. In our first visit, each of the children were doing their own thing, so we as a group got to watch what they enjoyed playing with the most. Claire, the only girl in the classroom, showed us all of her LOL dolls that she brought to school with her that day. Isaiah, showed us his Pokémon cards while telling us about each of...

Penn September 10, 2010 American InterContinental University Online Abstract The following compares and contrast of Naturalistic Obersavation and Correlational research. Which includes the research techniques reliability and validity strengths and weakness and generalizability. There are many different ways of collecting information and data to compare different types of things that happen from the past, present and to help predict the future. The research methods that I have compared are Naturalistic observation and Correlational research method. Like any thing else that they are more than one way of obtaining something there are differences and similarities that researchers can use to help them obtain their objective. The correlational research method is one in which the facts are utilizes facts to form links with an assortment of dependent variables. In most cases it is the one that is used first to give a basis before experiments can begin. There are three types of correlational research, observational, survey, and archival (Schmidt, 2000). Observational research includes items that can be tangibly recorded, for example, reporting for work and production. Survey research refers to the statistics that can be found by questioning subjects; for example, comparing the associations between couples who live together and divorce rates (Schmidt, 2000). Archival research deals...

...(Definition of learning) The EYFS Practice Guidance glossary defines assessment: ‘Through observing children... practitioners can make professional judgements about children’s achievements and decide on the next steps in learning’. As a generic description for working with children from birth to five, this clarifies the purpose of assessment. Within my provision the assessments we use to observe the development of our children are. • Tracking sheets… • Baseline Assessment sheets is a legislation document which is a bench mark for the milestones of each child. • Home visit welcome packs… • Observations long/ post it notes which is written/verbal which is a form of assessment used with parents/ carers staff and child to aid their learning where they are at and where the need to be. With out this the evidence we cannot say the child is at this level. • I would like to share observation sheets to go home so that if the child has a special occasion they would like to share from their weekend with staff and their friends in nursery. This helps with the child to show and tell helps them to open up if shy or has low self esteem and to make them feel special which encourages the child to talk in front of others. • Learning journeys… work in partnership with parent cares. Cover 6 areas of learning and next steps. • The CAF is a standardised approach to conducting an assessment of a child's additional needs and deciding how those needs should be...

...Observation The student is considered a novice as an observer of children. The student observes children to gain practice and understanding in child development. Students have an obligation to protect children and respect school personnel. Observers are usually visitors in the classroom. The observer must keep in mind that they are a disruption to the regular processes in the classroom and they should respect the classroom teacher’s direction. The protection of the child’s rights in any type of child study is important. Regardless of the procedure used to collect information, the child’s protection is paramount. The child must not come to any harm (physical or mental) through participation in the observation process. Confidentiality must be utilized at all times. Talking about children and families with others outside of class or with the classroom teacher is prohibited. Please use fictitious names in written reports. Any concerns about a child’s safety should be addressed immediately with the classroom teacher or other responsible party. Observation tells us about children’s behavior – what they are doing. If we want to understand children’s development in school settings then we should observe them in those settings. Observation that takes place in a natural environment is referred to as naturalistic observation. Qualities of a Good Observer: · Recognize personal bias and preconceived assumptions about children. · Stay focus for a long period...
