Verbal irony occurs when someone states one thing and means another. According to the stage directions, Abigail draws the sobbing, repentant Mary to her side “out of her infinite charity.” Why is this comment ironic?…
On Wednesday, April 7, 2010, I was blessed with the opportunity to sit in on a Mathematical class at John F. Kennedy Middle School in Riviera Beach, Florida. This was an opportunity to observe the function of a core class at the school that I teach and Substitute for. The teacher’s name was Mrs. Minor-Walker, which is one of our 7th grade teachers. When I walked into the classroom, I shook her hand and informed her of what I was intending on doing today. She was more than glad to assist with my assignment. These students were seventh grade students. This was an intermediate class, in which most of these children have encountered some sorts of issues with comprehending Mathematics prior to this year. Due to the…
Helfand begins his article with a story about a student named Gabriela who attends Birmingham High School, located in Van Nuys, CA, in the L.A. school district and has failed algebra six times in the past six semesters. The story continues how because algebra is a requirement for graduation, and because Gabriela can’t seem to be able to understand it, she drops out of high school. Further more the story ends with describing that this was the same fate for thousands of her peers.…
At times, Ariana chooses to stay on the rug after a lesson for additional support. This shows that she is being reflective of her learning. She appears to enjoy our inquiry work around mathematical concepts. In collaborative groups, Ariana offers her insight and pushes her peers to try out different methods. I often hear her say, “Wait everyone. I know we can try another way. So let’s just try it and see what happens.” Ariana would benefit from practicing his multiplication facts 6-12 to help increase automaticity. This will support her as she encounters complex problems. Additionally, Ariana would should continue to double check her work by using an inverse operation or alternative…

My eleventh grade year was arduous. Not only was I concerned about passing five Georgia High School Graduation Tests (GGT), but math III was complex. math III was full of foreign concepts and equations. Overtime, I grew excited about learning new concepts in math III. My teacher was a great influence upon me. He regularly encouraged me to work hard. With his support and endless determination I was committed to succeeding. A few weeks went by and class was going great. We were learning how to plot linear functions, factor polynomials, and how to find missing sides on a right triangle. I was very consistent with studying and reviewing past assignments. I knew if I did not study I would not pass the tests. As the end of the semester grew near, I grew concerned about the final exam partly because I had forgotten a few of the earlier lessons in the class.…
I still remember the sinking feeling in my stomach just last May when I received my final grade in Pre-Calculus. After months of extra study sessions, meeting with tutors, seeking help from my classmates and teacher, I had earned an F for the year. I had never seen that letter on my report card before. I had poured sweat and tears into trying to grasp the material, and had come up short. To say that I was devastated was an understatement. How would this grade impact my future? Would I be able to get into college? Was I too simple to grasp the concepts? I realized that I had two choices to make – I could either accept defeat and try to make peace with the fact that Pre-calculus just wasn’t my subject – or I could recognize that I was made in the image of God; and that in the midst of adversity, He did not cower, but…

Writing analysis papers was not anything new to me. Back in middle school and high school, I had written plenty of analysis papers for both science and writing class. Therefore, for the midterm, I didn’t do a great deal of preparation for the organization and that is something I honestly didn’t need to worry about. However, looking back at my midterm I feel like the one thing that I should have study and the one undoubtedly will cause me a load of error is the grammar.…
