profound insight into the hardships of industrialism and its effect upon the poorest laborers, child workers and socialist political movements during the Victorian era of Great Britain. The poor and common laborer suffered greatly during the progress of industrialism. The advent of technological advances caused a great deal of influx in labor pools, as the text describes: “and increase in agricultural efficiency that released much of the workforce from field labor” (1580).

every day in this class, without fail we would cover a chapter in the book then be asked to take a quiz right after. This cycle would repeat daily and when the course came to conclusion, I can honestly say I learned very little. This was the norm at my school, courses were rushed through so everything could be covered and students with good memorization and test taking skills were awarded and those who lacked in those areas fell behind. With the emphasis being place on standardized tests and teachers

with a family with multiple issues and/or abuse or neglect. Working as a Family Advocate with Oregon Child Development Coalition, I worked with low income migrant families that worked in agriculture. Towards the end of the season, there was a family on my caseload whom I had been working closely with throughout the program. However, during a check up on the family I was notified that the husband was in jail for a domestic abuse incident during which he had hit the mother of the children. I assessed the

have become so rapid, sophisticated and ingrained in daily life it is taking away from the interest, welfare and humanistic nature of our society. Most all do agree that technology has certainly played a role in humanity’s social and behavioral progress throughout history.

Humans are driven, curious creatures that seek to solve problems and have a need for social

as described in Task 1. Context for Learning, provide examples of language supports seen in the clips that help your students understand the content and/or academic language central to the lesson. (TPEs 4, 7) One of the language supports seen in my clips is the note taking guides the students are making during the second clip. I write the notes using a modified Cornell note system on the board and the students are expected to copy the notes in the same format on their own paper. I have found that

boys jeering, “Your mother is a whale.” Rather than expressing my anger, I suppress the hurt. Later, I debate in my heart my passiveness versus speaking my mind-not getting into trouble versus morally upholding my mother’s name. Not saying “no” to those immature boys actually helped to develop the diversely independent woman I am today. Now, I realize that the inaction of not yelling at those boys actually created an affirmation of my maturity. At seven years old- I was learning to write letters

myself as tactile learner because some of the characteristics of this learner like me. I can’t study if my environment is very quiet and silent and I feel bored if my teacher only teaching and not demonstrate what they talking about.

To be honest I don’t like teacher only sat on the chair while teaching because

It is a statement of what I want to achieve over a given period of time. Preparing an action plan is a good way to help me to reach my goals in life. There are many different models of action planning, but a good starting point is to set specific and clearly defined goals

going through or what’s happening around me, it can always change. Maybe the good times don’t always last long enough, but at least the hard times don’t linger around forever either. Just like the plot of a novel, I have developed with each chapter of my life. Chapter one is about a scared and confused young girl. She doesn’t understand why her mom is acting strange and not sleeping. She doesn’t know why her grandmother comes to her house and calls an ambulance. She asks the men where they are taking
