Taking The Being Ginning Of The Lesson

All rules are displayed in every classroom, children are addressed in assembly everyday and rewarded for good work at the end of the week with pupil of the week, house points, any certificates gained and rewards for good behaviour.

She told me about her classroom rules which are mutual respect, attentive listening and appreciations no put downs. She spent the first three weeks of school going over these three rules and afterwards she had each student write their name on colored paper which is their contract, their signature on that paper means they will follow those rules throughout the year. She has another rule in her classroom called “Kelso’s Choices”. Kelso’s Choices are nine different choices they can make on how to solve their problems in class. When the students come to an issue they have to choose two of the choices on the poster before going to the teacher. Some of the choices on there include, walking away, talking it out, apologizing, telling them to stop, etc. I really liked the idea of Kelso’s Choices because it teaches them problem solving as well as social skills. Instead of being unfair or going to the teacher they have the opportunity to solve the issues and be fair towards each other.

Social classes are a dividing system for people of a nation or country, and have existed for as long as history can date back. In the past, it has designated people to certain categories that determined the opportunities and privileges that they could receive. In the past, the social class a person belonged to was determined by which one he or she was born into, and this label generally stuck to someone for life. In more recent history, broadened opportunity has opened up an escape for those stuck in the lower classes. The social class a person is born into has become a starting point in life, and where somebody ends up is decided by his or her determination. In Toni Cade Bambara's “The Lesson,” the theme is about learning that a

The teacher will repeat the routine/procedure in a louder voice until all students comply and will not begin the lesson until all students are in compliance. If a student is consistently off task, they are removed to sit in the hallway outside of the classroom.

Toni Bambara’s “The Lesson” was published in 1972. Bambara wants to show not just the inequality that was widening and separating people in the 1970’s but also how it limits the worldview of the children growing up in poverty. Bambara also shows the effect that learning about it would have on the children. This piece of fiction tells the story of a group of children being shown an unfortunate truth about their world by a more knowledgeable teacher. Bambara uses rhetorical appeals, dialect, symbolism, and juxtaposition to show the level of disparity and how the children's worldview has been limited.

When I observed this classroom I did notice some great things that the teacher was implementing into her lessons. The class size was small which probably helped the students a lot considering they wouldn’t be overwhelmed. The teacher talked in English the entire time. This is something that will help the students get used to when they transition out of the classroom. The teacher would also go over letters and sounds in the

Lastly, on another occasion, she used a clapping method to regain focus once as well. The whole time I observed the students, Miss Turner used the combination of these methods only three times. I should also not fail to mention, that every time she did these the students immediately respond back to it and then regain focus. Now that I have covered this part of her classroom management strategy, let’s look at her what she did for reinforcement. To start with, Miss Tuner used positive verbal reinforcement quite often. For example, when a student would answer a question she would thank them and tell them that they did a good job. Lastly, the class did have some positive and negative aspects that I should not fail to mention. The positive aspect of the classes, was that Miss Turner took time to help every student that she could with their work. For an illustration, one of the special needs student need help with their writing project. Miss turner help lead the student to what he need to write. With that stated, the only negative aspect of the classes was that the students did not always get to finish their activities or assignments in one

Knowledge is power, but knowledge does not always come with power. Knowledge is the facts, a state of awareness or skills gained by a person through experience or education. However, power has the ability or potential to do something successfully and effectively. Without knowledge, you are not capable to perform your tasks effectively and successfully. Education is important for us to gain knowledge. A person that is knowledgeable leads to successful life. Toni Cade Bambara, the writer of “The Lesson,” wrote this story to expose the problem of social inequality and the lack of education for black children. She also convinces us in her short story that the value of education (knowledge) and

We started by having the kids tell us about the rules they have in school, what are the rules for, are there any consequences for someone who

Whenever a student does not get her explanation, she's willing to provide another one that is much more simpler. If breakfast time is over, she does not tell the student to go away, she finish helping the student and send her to class. The time she's willing to invest on my learning experience meant a lot to me. Because of her time investment, I was able to comprehend unfamiliar concepts.

In this story the author tells us about a girl named Sylvia, the narrator, who lives in a very low income family. A place where school is not a priority. A place where it is more important to be strong and hard, than to read a book. This was the thought anyway, before Miss. Moore moved in. She was a school teacher who took it upon herself to teach the neighborhood kids. On one summer afternoon in particular she was going to take the kids into town on a field trip. The kids are not at all happy about this because they know it is summer break and they are not supposed to be in school in the summer. They would rather be at the pool playin’, but Miss. Moore knows that if these kids want a chance at a better life,

Throughout the lesson she would walk around and interact with the students to make should they were on task and understanding the assignment. She provided visual aids to assist in the lesson and allowed students to pair with each other in order to provide extra help. Students had to sit up straight in class and track the teacher while she was at the board during whole group instruction. One thing I really loved because its someshing I do in my classroom. All students were required to raise their hands when asked a respond to a question regarding the lesson.

The students have learned about the heart, and about several conditions that may affect it. Moreover, they have learned the effects that cholesterol (LDL and HDL) has in the overall integrity or demise of the human body. In this new segment, they will learn about familial hypercholesterolemia (FH), and they will relate it to Anna’s cause of death—after running a gel electrophoresis experiment that will help identify whether or not Anna had the gene that codes for the FH mutation. This will further their knowledge about potential conditions that may have played a key role in Anna’s death.

Social classes divide the people of a nation or country and have existed probably for as long as human history itself. In the past, they have designated people to certain categories that determined the opportunities and privileges that they could receive. In the past, the social class a person belonged to was determined by which one he or she was born into, and this label generally stuck to someone for life. In more recent history, broadened opportunity has opened up an escape for those stuck in the lower classes. The social class a person is born into has become merely a starting point in life, and where somebody ends up is decided by his or her determination. Through its plot, characters, and use of certain symbols, Tony Cade

Afterwards, the children who stayed in the rug will trace the letter assigned and make a picture about it with Mrs. Manner. Yet the children in the round table with me, will be read a story and I was suppose to ask them questions about the story and sometimes we had to sing songs accordingly. Subsequently, my group will later switch to the floor and I will repeat the same lesson to the kids who were earlier in the rug. Sometimes the whole group will be overly excited and Mrs. Manner will say “Macaroni and Cheese” to which the whole group will answer; “Everybody Freeze.” This usually refocused the student’s attention to the class. Some children will always participate and give accurate answers, while other students try persistently to disrupt the class.
