...style of learning will help them to make the task easier. By knowing their strength and weakness of learning will help them to do more what they are at best and work on to overcome their weakness. This will help them to try different learning strategies on different situations and improve the quality of learning and successful in life. There are predominantly four types of learning style, Visual, Auditory, Read/Write and Kinesthetic. Some students learn by ‘seeing’ the materials like pictures, flash cards, power point presentation, illustrated text books etc. When taking notes they try to replace words with pictures or symbols and will highlight notes relating to one topic with same color. They try to recall work by images than words and the drawback of this learning is they can easily get distracted by other visuals like television or computer screen when studying. Certain students try to learn by ‘hearing’. These Auditory learners prefer to sit in front of the class when Instructor is lecturing and will repeat the information silently to themselves. They would read out the books loudly and will attend group discussion and debates. However the negative side is they get easily distracted by outside voices. Kinesthetic learners are who try to learn by physically experiencing or doing things. They would have a hard time in sitting for a long lecture and instead would love to take a short break in-between. Since they want hands-on experience in learning these...

...Human Development & Learning At Risk Behaviors Given: A sixteen-year-old tenth grader frequently sleeps in class, defaces desks and textbooks in the classroom, and blatantly refuses to answer direct questions. The student reads at a sixth-grade level and exhibits poor oral reading skills. The student is not very social and does not have many friends. One of the student's parents is deceased. The student lives at home with the surviving parent and two siblings (one older, one younger). The student works several hours after school every day in order to earn money for the family. During a student’s life there will be many challenges ahead. Many of them may cause the student to act out, as a teacher it is your responsibility to recognize these at-risk behaviors and know how to act upon them. Above is an example of a tenth grader with a few at-risk behaviors. The fact that the student feels it is ok to deface desks and textbooks are one at-risk behavior. If the students feels it is ok to do this what will stop him/her from destroying other property. This behavior must stop immediately. Since the student reads at a sixth-grade level and has poor oral reading skill this may be an issue that can cause quite a problem later in life it should be dealt with sooner rather than later. It also states that the student frequently sleeps in class; this is an issue because the student is not receiving the full education potential. From my point of view this student has several at-risk...

...of a text, you probably have to try out a number of the techniques we describe. You need to be prepared to adapt your strategies according to the difficulty of the content, its relative newness, and how you're feeling at that particular moment. Read, read and read. Practise makes perfect. No short cuts. By reading more and more you increase your speed. Training your eyes not to backtrack You may feel a temptation to let your eyes stray back over the text you've just read, especially when you doubt you've understood everything. Just ploughing on, trusting that everything's going to make sense if you persevere, is hard. In fact going backwards interrupts the flow, so you've got to take a leap of faith that by the time you get to the end of the chapter, the pieces of the jigsaw are going to fall into place. And often they do. If they don't, you may have to reread the chapter. But again, do this quickly, without backtracking. You have a better chance of understanding if you read some-thing twice quickly than once slowly. Moving your finger along the line, as you did in primary school, helps you keep moving forwards in the text. If you're a slow reader, do the opposite of what your teachers told you and consciously make your finger go faster than the speed at which you naturally read. Try to make your eyes catch up with your finger! This works for some people. Reading not speaking You don't want to read your book aloud, do you? So don't read the words in your head as if you're...

...10 SIMPLE WAY IMPROVE ENGLISH 1. This is what most people would advise: read. Read anything and everything in English. You can read story books, newspapers, magazines, blogs, comics, English textbooks, instructions and ingredients on food packages, advertisements, etc. For story books, don’t force yourself to read something too difficult or something you know you won’t enjoy. Make reading fun! Read books that you ENJOY reading. I hate to read books that bore me too. 2. Watch English movies with subtitles. This would be my favorite way of learning English. Not only do I get to have a fun time watching the movie, I’d be learning new words at the same time and knowing how to pronounce them! Usually, you can get movies with English subtitles on DVDs. 3. Listen to English songs. Read the lyrics as you listen to the songs. Listen to your favorite songs and sing along to them. 4. Start a blog in English. This is one way for you to practice your writing. Blog on something that you love. If you are a fan of movies, start a blog and write about your favorite movies, your favorite characters, what you think could be improved in the movie, what new movies to expect next year, etc. Besides blogging, try joining online forums; engage in online chatting and more. 5. If you don’t want to maintain a blog, why not write to a pen pal? It’d be even more fun to have a pen pal from a different country! I used to write to other people from the US, Germany, Mexico, and even Yugoslavia. I remember...

...My parents never intend on scavenging through the books I read to find vulgar, sexual, or violent things. Parents are intentionally trying to find every last detail of every book to ban it from every student. Almost all books you read out in today's world are gonna have a curse word or sexual content. The idea that parents care so much as to try, and ban it from other students boggles my mind. If you don’t want your kid reading it that’s fine, but don’t limit other mature students from a book that could open up a whole new world. When kids start middle school most of them become independent. Parents are trying to ban books that have things in the book that most kids are doing by 8th grade anyway.

...devastated by the thought of losing her sons to the death penalty. “I believe Ernest is innocent and does not deserve to die. Bobby did kill his wife and it was a terrible thing to do. But he loved her and she drove him to it – she made him so jealous” (p. 2). She tries hard to convince people that the death penalty is horrible and that they should try to put themselves in her situation. She uses the word “innocent” and we get automatically more sympathy with her and her son. We do not know if he is innocent, but she wants him innocent so much that we almost become convinced that the death penalty should be abolished. O’Sullivan writes the article in the magazine “Mirror Woman”. The magazine’s readers are mostly women with children. It contains life stories built on real facts. There is a specific reason why O’Sullivan writes in exactly that magazine. He tries to inform the mothers about a real life story. He tries to put them in the situation of losing sons to the death penalty. He knows that if he really wants to catch his readers, then he have to write it in that magazine. He wants to convince his readers, that there are real people and real families who are devastated by the existence of the death penalty. He tries to create a certain feeling in the reader and wants them to feel sympathy with the mother. O’Sullivan wants the women to compare themselves...

...The scientific article also shows their data in tables and graphs that are easy to read and can be easily understood. These tables help other researchers access the information easily and help find whether their results are similar, or maybe have a flaw in their work. They are expected to explain every part of their study in great detail no matter how long the study seems. The more detail that they incorporate, then the better the study becomes and the more data they will have to back up that study. On the other hand, the CNN article is written in a simpler form so that it can be understood by a larger population. They try to avoid using big words that the audience of the article may not fully understand. The CNN article is written in a much clearer, more understanding manner. If the public were to try and read the original source they would have a hard time trying to figure out exactly what was going on because the original source uses language that is written for other researchers and not the public. The original article includes the abstract, introduction, the process, results, limitations, discussion, conclusions, article information, and references, while the CNN article is only sectioned...

...How to Read and Review a Scientific Journal Article: Writing Summaries and Critiques Definition of Genre Summaries and critiques are two ways to write a review of a scientific journal article. Both types of writing ask you first to read and understand an article from the primary literature about your topic. The summary involves briefly but accurately stating the key points of the article for a reader who has not read the original article. The critique begins by summarizing the article and then analyzes and evaluates the author’s research. Summaries and critiques help you learn to synthesize information from different sources and are usually limited to two pages maximum. Actions to Take 1. Skim the article without taking notes: Read the abstract. The abstract will tell you the major findings of the article and why they matter. Read first for the “big picture.” Note any terms or techniques you need to define. Jot down any questions or parts you don’t understand. If you are unfamiliar with any of the key concepts in the article, look them up in a textbook. 2. Re-read the article more carefully: Pay close attention to the “Materials and Methods” (please note that in some journals this section is at the very end of the paper) and “Results” sections. Ask yourself questions about the study, such as: o Was the study repeated? o What was the sample size? Is this representative of the larger population? o What variables were held constant? Was there...

...all started out with a comic book; a superman comic book that opened up three year old Alexie’s eyes to success. Along with learning to read by himself by looking at comic books and trying to associate words with pictures came different struggles, his parent’s not being able to afford great books, spending his whole day trying to learn how to make the words become real to him, and of course the biggest struggle; his peers making fun of him for being smart. For Alexie to go through all of these struggles alone; learning to read and write must mean something more than just scanning through words on a page or writing the alphabet mixed up in different combinations, it must mean something much greater. The first thing that shows that Literacy means something more to Alexie is that it means being sufficiently educated with his writing and reading skills. Alexie’s wild adventure began with opening a comic book back when he was three years old. He had tried to associate the words and the pictures to try to teach him-self how to read. To this day, he cannot recall exactly what the comic book was, but he was indeed successful. After trying to read that comic book, Alexie wanted more, he didn’t want to learn how to read; in his mind, he had to. Alexie’s Father was an avid reader and I believe that Alexie got the idea to teach him-self to read because he wanted to be just like his father. The family was not rich; very far from it, but Alexie’s Father still tried his best to supply...
