This document discusses poetry analysis and jazz band. For poetry, the author relied on emotions to find meanings in poems but sometimes struggled with unclear language. For jazz band, emotions help players match the tone of songs and influence improvisation. The conclusion reflects on why these examples were chosen and how the learning experience impacted the author's approach going forward.

Lesson tesi bogdan
This document provides details about Lesson 1 on feelings from the "Carmen Sylva" Art High-School in Ploiesti, Romania. The lesson involved students in grades 2 (ages 8) and aimed to help them identify and express basic emotions through various means including language, art, music and body movements. It utilized Paul Ekman's theory of six basic emotions and resources like songs, videos and teacher-created drawings, puzzles and writings. Students worked on activities to recognize emotions, improve their English vocabulary of feelings, and express their own ideas and emotions creatively through short poems and other assignments. The cross-curricular lesson supported developing students' communication skills and self-awareness of their emotional states.
Expressing emotions
There are several ways to express emotions, including verbally through talking and active listening, non-verbally through body language like facial expressions and posture, and creatively through art, music, dance, writing, and more. People who are visually or hearing impaired can still express emotions through sign language, body language, or hearing how others communicate. Active listening involves not just hearing what someone says, but asking questions to demonstrate understanding.
Multisensory
1. The document describes multisensory activities involving sound, touch, sight, smell. It instructs to create artworks representing emotions in response to sounds, textures felt blindfolded, and sights before and during quarantine.
2. Participants are asked to select sounds like songs, dialogues or instrumentals, walk around blindfolded touching objects, and compare vision before and during quarantine. Artworks are to be made using elements and principles of design in response.
3. Participants also analyze the difference between odor and fragrance by smelling 20 objects and characterizing them, then graphing the nature of odors versus fragrances.
Isme 2018 music and language literacy brouette
This presentation by Dr. Marilyn Brouette is for the International Music Education conference in Baku Azerbaijan in July 2018. The topic is language and literacy in the Kodaly Music Classroom. American folk songs are source material to demonstrate music and language literacy strategies.
Friday- Pilar Teaching with songs
Songs can be a beneficial tool for language learning in the classroom by exposing students to authentic language, new vocabulary, grammar, and culture. Some activities that can be used with songs include having students circle or underline incorrect words, put the lyrics in order to guess the title, sing and perform the emotions of a song with one student in the center, listen and mime their phrase while standing in a line, and listen and write down words heard as fast as possible.
Annex 1
Students will work in small groups to identify items in closed boxes using their senses. Each of the 5 boxes will contain a different pair of items related to one of the 5 senses: sight, sound, taste, smell, or touch. Students will record their guesses on a chart. Flashcards depicting the sense will help students identify the items. Finally, the class will discuss how senses help in daily life and the teacher will introduce a song about the 5 senses to reinforce the lesson.
Learn english by song
Learning English through music and songs can be an enjoyable way to mix pleasure with learning. Songs use simple and repetitive language that is beneficial for learners to practice with. They also get stuck in people's heads, helping reinforce vocabulary and grammar. There are many activities teachers can use with songs, such as studying grammar, vocabulary, and culture. Overall, songs make English learning fun and help information stick in students' memories.

Poetry understanding and glossary
This document provides guidance on understanding and analyzing poetry. It discusses that poetry does not strictly follow grammar and punctuation rules. It emphasizes ideas, style, mood, point of view, tone, characters, and setting. The document notes that poetry can seem complicated if readers do not know how to approach it, but with multiple readings readers can unravel ideas one by one. It should not be expected to understand everything, as interpretations vary between readers.
Several questions are provided to help readers analyze a poem in their first reading or deeper analysis. A four step process is also outlined to analyze meaning, presentation, literary devices, and personal opinion. Another approach, SIFT, covers similar areas of sense, imagery, feeling, and techniques.
Teaching Poetry.pdf
This document provides guidance for teaching poetry to young children. It discusses what poetry is, how to introduce a poem, strategies for reading and analyzing a poem with students, and ideas for activities to engage students before, during, and after reading a poem. The key points are:
1) Poetry uses language, imagery, sound, and form to convey intense feelings and leave an impression. It brings the world to life.
2) When introducing a poem, teachers should read it silently, ask questions to understand it, and practice performing it aloud.
3) A poetry lesson involves three phases - introducing the topic, reading and analyzing the poem, and reflecting on what was learned. The document provides example activities for
English notes
This document discusses how to analyze a poem by examining its techniques and effects. It explains that a poem expresses emotion through elements like imagery, language, sound effects, and form. Poetic techniques like metaphor, rhyme, and punctuation are among the "engine parts" that make a poem work to create meaning and feelings in the reader. Analyzing these techniques helps uncover how the poem conveys the poet's intended message and perspective.

Poetry
Tie up all the things you've learned this semester:
When you write your essay, I want you to think about the chapter elements that apply to your poem and to your essay approach. Use the checklist to help you!
Can you spot stories under the water of the obvious island in the poem?
Do you have a poem where characters develop?
Is the beginning is a feature to notice?
Is the poem painting a picture?
Obviously, not all those points apply to every poem choice. Pick a poem you want to tackle, then dig for what of those four points you think you can address. Rearrange them in your essay so you have an introduction that invites readers to be interested. Make some points for readers to consider, then wrap up the essay with something we readers should remember about your poem choice--and maybe you can find a twist of thinking for readers: a bit of the author's own words on the poem? a bit of world history that applies? something happening today that could have easily been the same sort of subject?
One warning, poetry tempts writers into including moral lessons. Be careful not to tell us what we must learn from the poem you write about. Describe it fully, analyze what is there, and avoid what isn't. If you do that well, a reader can see the lesson to be learned without you needing to tell us what to think.

√ Checklist: Getting Ideas for Writing Arguments about Poems
If you are going to write about a short poem (say, under thirty lines), it’s not a bad idea to copy out the poem, writing or typing it double-spaced. By writing it out you will be forced to notice detail, down to the punctuation. After you have copied the poem, proofread it carefully against the original. Catching and error—even the addition or omission of a comma—may help you to notice a detail in the original that you might otherwise have overlooked. And now that you have the poem with ample space between the lines, you have a worksheet with room for jottings.
A good essay is based on a genuine response to a poem; a response may be stimulated in part by first reading the poem aloud and then considering the following questions.
First Response
o
What was your response to the poem on first reading?
Did some parts especially please or displease you, or puzzle you? After some study—perhaps checking the meanings of some words in a dictionary and reading the poem several times—did you modify your initial response to the parts and to the whole?
Speaker and Tone
o
Who is the speaker?
(Consider age, sex, personality, frame of mind, and tone of voice.) Is the speaker defined precisely (for instance, an older woman speaking to a child), or is the speaker simply a voice meditating? (Jot down your first impressions, then reread the poem and make further jottings, if necessary.)
o
Do you think the speaker is fully aware of what he or she is saying,
or does the speaker unconsci.
Explode A Poem
The document provides questions to guide the analysis of a poem, including what the poem is about, who is speaking in the poem, how the poem conveys its message through structure and language, why the poet wrote it, and the reader's response. It prompts considering the main idea, speaker, poetic devices, word choice, mood, poet's intent, and how the poem made the reader feel.

Unpacking a poem
This document provides guidance for analyzing the poem "Nettles" by Vernon Scannell. It outlines 8 steps for students to take to unpack the poem, including considering the title, shape, personal response, voice, vocabulary, imagery, structure, and developing an overall interpretation. The goal is for students to think about how these various elements of the poem work together to present the idea of parental anger and support different interpretations of the work.
Responding to literature-poetry
The document provides guidance on analyzing poems for exams. It discusses considering the poem's themes, form, structure, language, techniques, and answering different exam question types. Key advice includes relating all analyzed aspects back to the poem's meaning and effect, and showing an understanding of how the poet conveys their message through creative and technical choices.

Literarure: Poetry Analysis and other related themes
The document provides guidance on analyzing poems by examining the speaker, meaning, structure, imagery, and rhythm/meter. It recommends first looking at the poem, reading it aloud, and considering the title before analyzing the speaker, meaning, structure, imagery, and rhyme/rhythm. Key questions are provided under each section to help guide analysis of the poem's various elements.
Reading Poetry, Responsibly & Responsively
Share your group's findings with the class. How does poetry show up in popular culture? What forms does it take?
How to Close reading poetry
Poetry requires close reading of every word and syllable to understand the meaning conveyed through rhythmic patterns. A poem's overall meaning is not obvious and requires multiple readings to understand the nuances. When analyzing a poem, one should consider its tone, structure, imagery, language use, and perspective of the poet to interpret the full meaning across its various elements. Close examination of poetic techniques like rhythm, meter, and form provide insight into the content and intent of the work.
English 2 Poetry Response (3 pages)Evaluating a poem begins wi.docx
English 2 Poetry Response (3 pages)
Evaluating a poem begins with personal taste. Whether you like a poem or loathe it, your reaction to it may be passionate. That should be the starting point for your response. The question Is not merely whether a work pleases, but how well it performs the literary tasks it sets out to perform.
Next, try to determine what the poem seems designed to make you think and feel. Determine what effects the poet was trying to accomplish. If the poem is written in one of the genres we studied, then you need to weigh it against the specifications of that genre.
Then, move on to the specific elements in the poem. How well do its language, imagery, symbols and figures of speech work in communication its meaning? Are the metaphors or similes effective? Does the imagery work? Is the language vague or verbose? Does the poem ever fall into clichés or platitudes?
The goal Is to nourish your personal response with informed, careful and critical examination of the poem. Your thesis statement is what the poem means to you. It will be one sentence In the introduction and will be proven by three supporting paragraphs and end with a concluding paragraph, thus, five paragraphs. Use our class discussions as the springboard for your essay.
Suggestion for Evaluating a Poem if applicable. DO NOT JUST ANSWER THESE QEUSTIONS!! This is not a quiz. It is an essay. These questions are just to guide you.
1. What is your subjective response to the poem as a whole? Why?
2. Highlight moments that give you a strong reaction. Why do you think these passages elicit that response?
3. What task does the poem set for itself?
4. Does it belong to some genre? If so, does it meet the specifications?
5. How well does the poem fulfill the expectations that it creates?
6. How do its specific elements(language, imagery, symbols, figures of speech, rhythm, sound and rime) work to communicate its meaning?
...
Teaching of Poetry
Teaching poetry effectively requires creating an environment where students can appreciate the beauty of poetry. It is important to engage students' emotions and imaginations when reading poems. Teachers should model expression when reciting poems and encourage students to recite poems aloud. Comprehension questions after reading check understanding, while appreciation questions help students analyze poetic techniques like imagery, figures of speech, and themes. The goal of teaching poetry is to help students find joy in poems and develop an appreciation for the art of poetry.
Language
The document discusses how language can evoke images and emotions through writing. It presents several theories of meaning, such as image theory where the meaning of a word is a mental image. It also discusses problematic meanings in language including vagueness, ambiguity, secondary meanings through denotation and connotation, and literary devices like metaphor and irony. Emotive language uses words with strong positive or negative connotations to elicit emotional responses from readers. Overall, the written word can have a greater influence than spoken words because it provides a visual representation that can be referenced and interpreted at the reader's own pace.
5020 week 9 phonemic a phonics slides
This document provides guidance for an assignment to create a literacy lesson that embeds comprehension and language development. The lesson must be based on an authentic text and include the following elements: objectives for both content and language, a rationale that references students' needs and professional literature, and a list of required materials. The objectives should link comprehension to an academic language structure beyond just vocabulary. The rationale must reflect knowledge of language and literacy development for the target grade level and student population.
Analyses of poetry
The document provides guidance on analyzing poems by breaking them down into their formal elements and literary devices. It recommends closely reading the poem several times, taking notes on observations and questions, and using those notes to investigate the poem's elements. It then lists and defines several elements to analyze, including the speaker, tone, tension, context, imagery, form, language, syntax and their corresponding poetic devices. Analyzing these elements can help the reader understand the poem's overall theme, tone and purpose.
Writing about poetry
Explication is an analysis of a poem that describes possible meanings and relationships between its words, images, and other elements. To write an explication, one should read the poem silently and aloud, consider it as a dramatic situation, and identify the voice, conflicts/ideas, and language. Key questions to consider include who is speaking, what is being dramatized, when and where the action occurs, and why the speaker feels compelled to speak. The analysis should also consider the form, rhetoric, syntax, vocabulary, and patterns in the poem like rhyme, sound, visual presentation, rhythm, and meter.
Eugenics Paper Summary
1. Eugenics emerged in Germany in 1904 with the goal of improving racial hygiene and hereditary qualities. This led to a 1933 sterilization law preventing hereditary and mental defects.
2. Eugenics became intertwined with politics in the 1940s, resulting in the involuntary sterilization and genocide of Jews and others in Nazi Germany.
3. Eugenics spread globally in the early 20th century with many countries establishing their own eugenics movements, though it fell out of favor after being associated with Nazi war crimes.
Ethics Seminar Outline as Facilitator
This document outlines David Batchelor's ethics seminar, discussing several theories of ethics including:
- Moral reasoning and whether people should use reason to support value judgments.
- Moral relativism and whether there are universal values or if values differ based on society and environment.
- Self-interest theory, which argues humans are always selfish due to evolutionary instincts to survive and reproduce.
- Utilitarianism, which says the moral principle is to maximize happiness for the greatest number of people.
The document poses discussion questions about each theory.

A poem's overall meaning is not obvious and requires multiple readings to understand the nuances. When analyzing a poem, one should consider its tone, structure, imagery, language use, and perspective of the poet to interpret the full meaning across its various elements. Close examination of poetic techniques like rhythm, meter, and form provide insight into the content and intent of the work.

Teaching of Poetry
Teaching poetry effectively requires creating an environment where students can appreciate the beauty of poetry. It is important to engage students' emotions and imaginations when reading poems.

Comprehension questions after reading check understanding, while appreciation questions help students analyze poetic techniques like imagery, figures of speech, and themes. The goal of teaching poetry is to help students find joy in poems and develop an appreciation for the art of poetry.
Language
The document discusses how language can evoke images and emotions through writing. It presents several theories of meaning, such as image theory where the meaning of a word is a mental image. It also discusses problematic meanings in language including vagueness, ambiguity, secondary meanings through denotation and connotation, and literary devices like metaphor and irony. Emotive language uses words with strong positive or negative connotations to elicit emotional responses from readers. Overall, the written word can have a greater influence than spoken words because it provides a visual representation that can be referenced and interpreted at the reader's own pace.

Writing about poetry
Explication is an analysis of a poem that describes possible meanings and relationships between its words, images, and other elements. To write an explication, one should read the poem silently and aloud, consider it as a dramatic situation, and identify the voice, conflicts/ideas, and language. Key questions to consider include who is speaking, what is being dramatized, when and where the action occurs, and why the speaker feels compelled to speak. The analysis should also consider the form, rhetoric, syntax, vocabulary, and patterns in the poem like rhyme, sound, visual presentation, rhythm, and meter.

Math Statistics IA December 2010
- The document analyzes the relationship between the average hours of video games played per school week and the average hours of sleep per school night for 50 high school students.
- Statistical analysis showed a weak negative linear correlation between video game time and sleep hours, indicating the variables were mostly independent. However, surveying the entire student population may have strengthened the correlation.
- While more video game time tended to equal less sleep, there was high variation in the data, and other factors like homework also impacted students' sleep amounts. So the relationship between video games and sleep was inconclusive based on this study.

Independent lab report wine glass
1) The document summarizes an experiment that investigated how the temperature of water in a wine glass affects the resonant frequency produced when the glass is rung. Different water temperatures were tested, and it was predicted that frequency would decrease with increasing temperature.
2) The results showed no change in frequency across the tested temperatures, contradicting the prediction. Graphs of temperature vs. frequency produced straight lines with a slope of zero, indicating the variables were constant.
3) It was concluded that, within the tested temperatures, the water temperature did not affect the resonant frequency of the wine glass when rung. Further research with wider temperature ranges could potentially yield different results.
