...Anne Frank is one of the most important people in our world’s history because of her life before she went to concentration camps, her time she spent imprisoned at the camps, and her diary and legacy. Annelies Marie Frank was born on June 12, 1929 in Frankfurt, Germany to her parents Otto and Edith Frank (Source #3). When World War II broke out, she and her family moved to the Netherlands to escape the it (Source #2). In school, she was a good student who loved to read and had a dream of becoming a writer one day (Source #2). One day Anne' sister, Margot, received a deportation notice. Otto Frank was not letting his daughter go, so the Franks immediately went into hiding. They’re hiding place was a secret room in the attic of Otto Frank’s business building, the door was a moving bookshelf. They called it “The Secret Annex” (Source #3). About a week after the Franks went into hiding, the Van Pels joined them. They were a family of three, Hermann, Auguste, and Peter (Source #2 & 4). Soon after the Van Pels moved into The Secret Annex, Fritz Pfeffer also joined them. Pfeffer and Anne shared a room and Margot joined her parents in their room (Source #2 & 4). While the Franks were hidden in The Secret Annex, they...

She has 30 fifth-graders of whom 13 are girls and 17 are boys, 12 participate in the free and reduced lunch program, 5 are English language learners, and 4 have individualized education programs (IEPs). As she plans her lesson on paragraph writing, she is trying to keep the special needs of each of her students in mind. Because Jessica has a hearing impairment, Ms. Branson decides to make a written outline that includes the important parts of a paragraph and examples of good and bad paragraphs. She also decides to go over the outline several times because Fred and Alex have a reading disability. In her plan, there is also a note to herself to find a bigger pencil and wide-lined paper for Suzy, who requires these modifications according to her IEP. Based on past writing experiences, she expects Monica to finish writing her paragraph...

...Bullying: Effects on the Younger Generation Angela Ramsey COM/220 February 28, 2010 Christopher Geist “Being bullied is not just an unpleasant rite of passage through childhood. It’s a public health problem that merits attention. People who were bullied as children are more likely to suffer from depression and low self esteem, well into adulthood, and the bullies themselves are more likely to engage in criminal behavior later in life.” Duane Alexander, M.D., director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD). Have you ever been called names, tripped or hit, or made to do something you did not want to do out of fear? If you have, then you have been bullied. It happens every day and everywhere. There is no age group that cannot and has not been bullied. Even though bullying happens to people of all age groups, it can have lasting and sometimes disastrous outcomes for the younger generation. Bullying occurs when one person, or group of people, inflict harm on another person. Multiple forms of bullying exist in the world today. Name calling, teasing, taunting, physical harm, and threats are all ways to bully someone. Because of the age and inexperience of children (both adolescents and teenagers), they cannot handle the harassment. Both bullies and victims do not understand the effects that bullying can cause. Some of these effects may be short term, whereas others may lay dormant until the child becomes an adult. Therefore, I...

...1. Based on the evidence from age 6 and 8 years, how well is your child adapting to the school social environment and to the peer group? To what extent does this adaptation seem to depend on personality characteristics that are fairly stable in your child, and to what extent does your child seem to be developing novel behavior to cope with these new situations? Refer to the textbook for particular points about the responses of children in this age group to the peer group and the school environment. (2 points) Many changes occur between the ages of 6-8 years old. Children are leaving the comfort of their preschool environment and entering the school environment. This new environment exposes children to multiple new experiences. How a child responds to these changes can impact how successful they are in the school environment. One of the bigger changes is the amount of other children in the classroom. Typically pre-school classes are smaller in number and children become comfortable playing with only a small social group. Kindergarten and first grade could potentially have 30 children and can cause a child to feel shy and unable to cope with the new social situation. Another factor that influences a child’s ability to adapt to the school environment is the teacher controlled environment and then the more child controlled environment on the playground. Most children are used to being monitored closely throughout the whole day. However, the playground environment and the independence...

...Special Needs Lora D. Purcell SOC120 Instructor Sue Meckert February 20, 2012 Beginning a new career choice at my age; has been a bit overwhelming. I have had to write many challenging papers. This paper for SOC120 has been especially difficult for me to write. I could not relate to the topics my instructor gave us to choose from, none of them clicked with me. We were given permission to write about any topic, as long it was okay with her. I chose a topic that is very dear and passionate to me, special needs children. That is why it becomes difficult for me to write theory based papers, I write from my heart and tend to forget to add the theoretical points to my paper. I hope to share how my thoughts on the subject of special needs will be informative and will enlighten the reader. Trying to inform the public of the special needs environment is a challenge. People need to be taught how to react and respect them, along with family members that care for them. As it is stated; America is a wonderful melting pot of cultural diversity. I believe that the majority of people are open minded and try to be fair. Something happens, though, when some people come in contact with adults and kids with disabilities. It is understandable to be fearful of the unknown. (1) The community I live in is becoming more aware of how they should react and respond to the special...

...As a Reception/ Kindergarten teacher with nearly 10 years of experience in helping children and their parents settle into starting school for the first time, I’ve always considered this area one that I am really comfortable about with giving advice and support. However, I finally find the shoe on the other foot with my firstborn starting school for the first time and I thought I’d write a Top Tips style post about starting school, very much keeping in mind that this is now all new to me too from the other side, finally being the parent instead of the teacher. So, if your little one is starting school or preschool for the first time, then let’s do this together! Here’s what I’ve learned so far, but I know there’s so much more for me to learn this year! Lots of the following ideas will obviously depend on the character of you and your child and the flexibility and communicative nature of the school they will be attending. Just choose the bits that are helpful and leave the rest! Preparing Emotionally:...

...definition is broad because the potential applications of educational psychology to the learning process are immense! Today educational psychology is a vital discipline that is contributing to the education of teachers and learners. For example, Jerome Bruner, an enduring figure in educational psychology, recently noted the need to rethink our ideas of development, teaching, and learning and the interactions among them. Specifically, Bruner (1996) urged educators and psychologists to see children as thinkers, and stated: No less than the adult, the child is thought of as holding more or less coherent "theories" not only about the world but about her own mind and how it works. These naive theories are brought into congruence with those of parents and teachers not through imitation, not through didactic instruction, but by discourse, collaboration, and negotiation . . . . This model of education is more concerned with interpretation and understanding than with the achievement of factual knowledge or skilled performance. (1996, p. 57)...

Week 2 discussion Stress (graded) We are exploring the nature of stress, its effect on human functioning, and techniques to minimize stress. What is the biggest source of stress you have in your life? What is the most effective technique you have used to handle it? Sensation and Perception (graded) Sensation and perception are two different processes. Does sensory stimulus shape our perceptions? Do our perceptions misinterpret our sensations? How does that happen? Week 3 discussion Learning (graded) After you have read about the theories of learning, reflect on how you learned as a child? What methods did your parents use to teach you how to act? Was it through classical conditioning? What about operant conditioning and social learning theory? Which theory had the biggest impact? Why?

...there were some students who are disadvantaged or even behind the slow performing ones who are not yet recognized. These types are often labelled by diagnosticians as students “At Risk.” From the term itself, it indicates potential exceptionalities that may possibly arise. The main difficulty that could possibly be anticipated among the so called “At Risk” students is the misleading concepts towards them. Most teachers would take them as regular students and some may call them “slow learners,” “out of school” or even “worse performing pupils.” Since the existence of these types of learners is arising, the need for special program for this exceptionality is also increasing. However, most stakeholders in education, teachers and parents won’t pay too much attention on it which leads to the suffering of each “At Risk” students. Experiencing such kind of learners are truly challenging for a...

...PART 1 THE STUDY OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT R esearching the process of human development across cultures provides us with an opportunity to improve the human condition as well as, hopefully, to acquire the knowledge needed to optimize life satisfaction. We therefore begin with an overview of how diverse social science and life science researchers (collectively known as developmentalists) approach the monumental task of studying humans over the course of the life span. Our discussion includes the goals of the scientific community, the recognized framework for studying the life span, what aspects of development warrant extensive examination, and what scientific methods are used to conduct research with humans. Chapter 2 discusses the main developmental theories over the past 100 years, when social scientists, biologists, and chemists focused on studying discrete aspects of human development. Earlier introspective methods about subconscious experience and contemporary measurable evidence about microscopic genetic codes, neurons, and hormones all contribute to our understanding of the human condition. Contemporary researchers are focusing on how to integrate scientific findings and theory from across cultures into a more meaningful whole about human development. CHAPTER 1 Introduction Critical Thinking Questions 1. Developmental change takes place in three fundamental domains: physical, cognitive, and emotional-social. Which domain has been most important for...

...London, England, UK (alcohol poisoning) Birth Name Amy Jade Winehouse Nickname Wino Ames Height 5' 3" (1.60 m) Mini Biography Amy Winehouse was a five-time Grammy Award-winning English singer-songwriter known for such hits as 'Rehab' and 'You Know I'm No Good' among her other works. She was born Amy Jade Winehouse, on September 14, 1983, in Enfield, London, England to a Jewish family with Russian ancestry on her mother's side. Her father, Mitchell Winehouse, was a taxi driver; her mother, Janis Winehouse (nee Seaton), was a pharmacist. Her family shared her love of theater and music.
