Personal Retrospectives - Johannes Thönes
This document outlines exercises for conducting a personal retrospective to reflect on the past month, set goals and plans for the future. It involves making lists of important events, feedback, likes and dislikes from the past month. Participants identify goals, make them SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound), and commit to actions and plans within 48 hours. A letter is written to oneself summarizing insights and wishes for the next three months to be sent later for reflection. Personal retrospectives are presented as a useful tool for personal growth.

The document discusses an English lesson that focuses on grammar and modifying words with adverbs. It includes questions about the differences between adjectives and adverbs, how to form adverbs from different adjectives, and explaining the benefits of leisure activities.
Reading Strategies
The document discusses reading strategies that good readers use to improve comprehension. It identifies seven main strategies: making connections, asking questions, determining importance, inferring and predicting, visualizing, synthesizing, and using "fix up" strategies when having trouble understanding. The strategies help readers understand, connect with, and evaluate what they are reading. Good readers use clues to make inferences and predictions about the text. The document emphasizes that consciously using these strategies can help readers learn how to understand what they read.
Reading strategies
The document discusses reading strategies that good readers use to understand and analyze what they are reading. It identifies seven main strategies: making connections, asking questions, determining importance, inferring and predicting, visualizing, synthesizing, and using "fix up" strategies when having trouble understanding.

Regular practice of these strategies can improve a reader's ability to think deeply and consciously about what they read.
Functions of non-verbal communications
The document discusses the functions of non-verbal communication. It identifies six main functions: repetition, contradiction, complementing, accentuating, substitution, and regulation. For each function, examples are provided to illustrate how non-verbal cues can reinforce, contradict, or regulate verbal communication. The document was presented by two students and includes examples of common non-verbal gestures and cues.
My Partner Said
This document outlines the "My Partner Said..." reading strategy which has students work with a partner to summarize sections of a text. Each partner takes turns orally summarizing a paragraph or page marked with a sticky note while the other writes it down. The goal is for students to engage actively while listening to their partner, stay focused on the task, and determine the most important ideas in the text to share with each other.

How to Pitch an Idea - Lessons from EMC TV & Toastmasters
I talk a lot these days, and it hasn't always been effective.

This presentation isn't about my story, but rather some elements inherent to ALL of our stories. Take a moment to review the points within the story arc taught here and reflect on how you can make a killer presentation to your target audience.
Edt 500 presentation 1
Word problems are math problems presented in a written scenario that requires solving. They are used in real-life situations and on standardized tests like the CMT. Word problems are scored on a 0-3 rubric based on whether the answer is correct, the problem is solved in an organized manner, and the result makes sense. A score of 3 means the problem was answered correctly and completely with all work shown organized, while a 0 means the answer was incorrect with no supporting work.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
