    Author, Harriet Davids, of “The Extended School Day” believes all elementary schools should adopt an extended school day policy. Davids main ideas focus on the safety of the children, whether it be in the care of a nanny or home alone, safety is the number one priority. Davids not only states that an extended school day will be beneficial to the parents and the students, but also the teachers and staff involved in the after school programs. In an affective essay there are seven essential elements that must be followed to skillfully create a forceful essay. Unfortunately, Davids lacks many of these elements in the entitled essay, “The Extended School Day”.…

    Lack of morals can be observed in the Common Man in the role of the Jailer. The vice of greed is seen by the Jailor when he is willing to accept fifty guineas from Cromwell in exchange for information about Thomas More. (p. 135) Likewise, the jailor is dishonest when he is willing to take anything that Thomas says and tell it to Cromwell to use as evidence against Thomas More in court. (pp. 135-136) Lack of charity is exhibited by the jailor when he does not allow Thomas’s family…

    “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” is the story of a man retelling certain events from the past Christmases in his life. He describes many activities an experiences through his eyes when he was a young boy as if they were miracles, some things that many adults overlook and take for granted. “A Christmas Memory” tells the tale of Christmas traditions between a seven year old boy and a grown woman, who the boy views as his cousin and best friend. Each of these stories was written with a certain purpose engrained in the authors mind. Dylan Thomas wrote “A Child’s Christmas in Wales” with the intent of instilling a sense of nostalgia in his readers. He uses certain words and phrases in order to create a sense of longing for the past. Truman Capote, on the other hand, wrote “A Christmas Memory” to emphasize the importance and strength of friendship, no matter how large the differences between two people can be.…

    From learning to ride your first bike or to going to the movies with your old friends, memories of the past are special things that are both everlasting and very important. A theme of James Fenton’s poem “The Ideal” is to live by your past because it cannot be changed, erased, or forgotten; it makes you who you are. One of the major literary devices used in this poem is rhyme. There are three rhymes in total and he rhymes the second and fourth lines of each stanza. The two rhyming words that he uses include way and say. To help demonstrate the theme of the poem, Fenton writes, “This is where I come from/ I passed this way”. This suggests that a person’s past shapes what they are today. People take different paths in life, and with that comes different experiences. These various journeys cannot be changed because they have already taken place, and they can potentially alter a person’s life. Also, James Fenton writes “A self is a self/ It is not a screen”. This suggests that one should not hide behind something they are not. It is hard to admit where you come from and who you are, but you should not lie about the person inside of you. Finally the poet writes, “This is my past/which I shall not discard”. This explains that people tend to reflect all the negative energy and experiences in their life. They do not want to recall all the depressing memories in their past, so they choose to forget. But at the end of the day, they learn that the past cannot be forgotten or erased because it made them who they are. Therefore, “The Ideal” helps portray that the past cannot be altered and it helps bring out your inner self.…

    As future teachers it is very important to make sure that our students understand print. There are students who are fully able to pronounce print but unfortunately aren’t able to comprehend what they are reading. To read I believe means to understand the meaning of words, so therefore it involves much more than pronouncing print. In Beyond Traditional Phonics, (BTP) Margaret Moustafa stated, “pronouncing print is not necessarily comprehending print” pg. 6. Unfortunately, there are many students who are able to pronounce print but are not able to understand the meaning of what they read. Children use many different cueing systems to figure out print. Besides the three cuing systems which I will explain more throughout the essay is the concept of phonics and phonemic awareness.…

    To begin with, I can define critical reading as being able to take your time to read and understand what you have read or reread what you have read until you have fully understood what the author is trying to say. I would also define it as being able to analyze the title and the subtitle in the story/ article. Not only that, but being able to skim through the story/ article, looking for the words you do not know and getting an idea of what the story/ article is going to be about. In other word, critical reading is about gathering enough information. The term critical thinking can be defined as being able to evaluate what you have read. For example, you will be able to make inferences of what you have read, ask questions about the story/ article and answering them as you read through it. In critical thinking you will also need to be able to gather enough information to identify if the author is being bias or not.…

    A. Bats have a problem: how to find their way(đường đi) around in the dark they hunt(săn mồi) at flight, and cannot use light to help them find prey(con mồi) and avoid obstacles(chướng ngại). You might say that this is a problem of their own making one that they could avoid simply by changing their habits(thói quen) and hunting by day(ban ngày). But the daytime economy(sự kiểm soát) is already(rồi) heavily(nặng nề) exploited(khai thác by other creatures (cacs loài sinh vật)such as birds. Given that there is a living to be made at night, and given that alternative (thay thế)day time(ban ngày) trades (cách kiếm sống)are thoroughly(hoàn toàn) occupied(chiếm đóng), natural selection(chọn lọc tự nhiên) has favored(ủng hộ) bats that make a go of the night-hunting trade. It is probable that the nocturnal(thuộc về đêm) trades go way back(quay trở về) in the ancestry(tổ tiên) of all mammals(động vật có vú). In the time when the dinosaurs (khủng long) dominated(thống trị) the daytime economy, our mammalian ancestors(tổ tiên loài động vật co vú) probably(có lẽ) only managed(xoay xở) to survive(tồn tai, sống sót) at all because they found ways of scraping(đập vụn a living at night Only after the mysterious(kì lạ, huyền bí) mass extinction(sự tuyệt chủng) of the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago were our ancestors able to emerge(nổi lên) into the day light in any substantial(đáng kể) numbers.…
