2. The student teacher has found the perfect question to ask the mentor teacher about how he decides when to use group work versus individual assignments.
3. The mentor teacher struggles to give a concise answer to her question and rambles as he thinks out loud, but hopes he has provided some insight even if he confused her further and given her more to write about.

Garr Reynolds presents a summary of six key lessons from Dan Pink's latest book based on his character Johnny Bunko. The lessons are: 1) There is no set career plan, your path will not be linear; 2) Focus on your strengths, not weaknesses; 3) Make career choices based on adding value to others, not just yourself; 4) Persistence is more important than talent; 5) Learn from mistakes by thinking ambitiously; 6) Leave a contribution or imprint with your work instead of just getting by. Reynolds uses a manga style presentation to engage the audience in an overview of the important guidance found in Pink's book.

Web 2.0 And The Rise Of Social Marketingjontranaes
Web 2.0 and social media have led to a shift from push marketing to a mix of push and pull strategies. Customers are more active content creators and influencers through word-of-mouth. This presents opportunities for businesses to better understand customers, increase brand loyalty, and generate leads through social tools like blogs, forums, reviews and social networks. However, companies must consider how their target audience wants to interact and engage before developing a social media strategy.

The document discusses a study analyzing children's drawings to understand their perceptions. It finds that children's drawings are honest, naive, and sometimes funny representations of cultural symbols and ideas. The study used drawings from Israeli and Palestinian children to better understand their perceptions of each other. Four common themes emerged from drawings of what British children found interesting: technology, friends, motors, and animals. The conclusion is that for children, ideas of fun and leisure are interchangeable with ideas of what is interesting.

The document provides instructions on how to properly use direct quotes in academic writing. It includes an example of quoting poetry from Robert Frost's "The Road Not Taken" and provides the formatting for integrating the quote into an analysis. The instructions also prompt the reader to choose a poem and write a short character analysis of the father figure, supporting it with at least one direct quote from the text using proper citation.
Parallel structure involves using the same grammatical pattern for elements that have equal importance. It originated in oral traditions and is used in poetry, rhetoric, and business writing to organize ideas, communicate effectively, and persuade. Parallel structure can be created using words, phrases, or clauses connected with coordinating conjunctions. Examples of parallel structure include verb phrases like "I came, I saw, I conquered" and adjective lists like "Mad, bad, and dangerous to know." Practicing parallel structure involves analyzing examples from everyday speech, advertising, music, and literature and then incorporating it into one's own writing.

Students will be assessed on their independent reading through check-ins, discussions, and an end of quarter portfolio.
The document discusses different types of characters and how they are developed in stories. It defines the protagonist as the main character, and antagonist as a character opposing the protagonist. It also notes that conflict can arise between characters, with nature, or internally, and that authors develop characters through their thoughts, actions, physical descriptions, and speech.
This document discusses different considerations for determining a news publication's target audience such as their expectations and needs. It suggests balancing what the audience wants with what they need to know. The document also notes that different platforms may be better suited for certain stories. Finally, it provides instructions for a focus group project involving interviews with students and faculty about their preferences and expectations for a high school newspaper and new website.
The document discusses key elements that make a story considered "news" including proximity, timeliness, prominence, consequence, human interest, conflict, unusualness, and humor. It notes that students should be prepared to explain why each of these elements contributes to something being newsworthy.
This document discusses two court cases involving students in Pennsylvania who were suspended for creating fake MySpace pages about their principals. The 3rd circuit court judges issued conflicting rulings on the same day about whether the schools had the right to discipline the students. It also discusses debates around student free speech rights online and changing privacy policies on Facebook. The document considers perspectives on having dual identities online versus maintaining a single consistent identity.
This document does not contain any discernible text or information to summarize. It appears to be blank or contain only non-alphabetic characters that do not form words or sentences.
The student teacher poses thoughtful questions to her mentor teacher after observing his lessons. Though the questions catch him off guard at times, he sees them as opportunities to reflect more deeply on his teaching practices. In this instance, the student teacher asks why he chooses group work over individual assignments in a given lesson, prompting a rambling response from the mentor teacher. Rather than apologize, he views it as a chance to consider how different class dynamics and student abilities influence that decision. Their discussions help him continue learning and improving after many years of experience.
The document discusses Thomas Hobbes' social contract theory and the idea of a state of nature. According to Hobbes, in a state of nature before government where individuals only act in self-interest, life would be "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short." Hobbes argued this chaos could only be prevented by establishing a strong central authority, such as an absolute ruler, to enforce social order through the social contract as outlined in his work Leviathan. The document also mentions John Locke's view of humans as blank slates at birth who acquire knowledge through experiences.

The document summarizes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s involvement in the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers' strike. It discusses how over 1,300 mostly black sanitation workers went on strike to protest poor wages and working conditions. Dr. King came to Memphis twice to lead marches and give speeches in support of the strike. The strike ended a week after Dr. King's assassination on April 4, 1968.
The document discusses allusions and their use in writing. It defines allusion as a reference to a work of literature, art, or other cultural work that requires the reader to have background knowledge to understand. Allusions are commonly made to widely known works like the Bible or Shakespeare plays. The document explains that allusions give authority to writing and allow authors to link their work to other influential texts. It also provides an example of allusions used in Martin Luther King Jr.'s works and notes that not recognizing an allusion is okay in the modern day of internet resources.
Ted Leach reflects on his experience mentoring a new teacher. He struggles at first to provide straightforward answers to her insightful questions about teaching methods. Over time, through their ongoing conversations, he comes to realize that being a good teacher is not about having all the answers, but rather asking the right questions. He hopes that by the end of her apprenticeship, she leaves with more questions than answers, as questioning is what will help her continue growing as a great teacher.
The document discusses key aspects of Greek tragic theater including:
1) Tragedies told stories from Greek mythology and involved a central character suffering misfortune through their own actions or flaws.
2) Playwrights like Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides wrote trilogies of plays including one satyr play to be performed at festivals in Athens and other cities.
3) Productions used a small number of professional actors and a chorus of 12-15 amateurs to perform the plays outdoors in theaters for religious and political purposes in the 5th century BCE.
The document discusses key aspects of Greek tragic theater including that tragedies involved a central character suffering misfortune as a result of their actions, exciting pity and fear according to Aristotle. Major playwrights included Sophocles, Aeschylus, and Euripides who wrote trilogies performed at the Theater of Dionysus in Athens in the 5th century BCE as part of religious festivals also used to demonstrate Athens' power.
The document provides instructions on how to properly format direct quotes and citations. It includes an example of a direct quote from Robert Frost's poem, with the quote indicated and a citation. The instructions also direct the reader to choose a poem and write a paragraph analyzing how the father is characterized, using examples and a direct quote with proper citation.
Using multiple examples in expository writingTed Leach
The Japanese phrase "shikata ga nai", meaning "it cannot be helped", reflects how families in the internment camps coped with poor conditions. In Ender's Game, Ender struggles with his identity compared to his violent brother Peter, seen when he cries after beating a bully but continues to face reminders of Peter. This internal conflict isn't resolved until the novel's end. The document discusses using examples in expository writing and different types of examples like quick references, "magic three" examples, and detailed examples.
Rhetorical modes are standard ways that writers develop their ideas through techniques like narration and description. Examples are used to support generalizations and should be relevant, specific, and provide enough detail and quantity to illustrate the main point. Writers should check that their examples are sufficiently detailed, numerous, and relevant when using examples to support a generalization.
This document provides an introduction to the genre of science fiction. It lists some classic works that are considered early examples of science fiction like Frankenstein. It distinguishes science fiction from fantasy by noting science fiction asks "what if" questions and speculates based on science or technology. Examples are given like Star Trek that feature scientific extrapolation. The document concludes by advising the reader to determine the setting and rules established in any science fiction text.
The document provides guidance on writing summary leads, noting that they should contain the key details of who, what, when, where, and sometimes why in under 30 words using the most important information. It gives examples of summary leads that follow these characteristics for upcoming local and national events.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

to only two or three. Eventually I got to the
point where I could preparefcrr my seminarswith a few notes on the back
of an index
card. The better the questions,the fewer of them I needed. It was about this time
that we
also were working on a lot of "Essential Questions." Predictably, I loved it. I lovecl
the
conversationsthat flowed from a good question.
As I learnedthe value of good questions,I learnedthe fascinatingparadox of
teaching. It's not in having all the answersthat good teaching lies. It's in asking the
right questions. Granted there's a place for having some answers--and there,s a place
for asking questionsthat are designedto get the right ones.

How do I set up my groups? I'm sure I have a better reasonthan the day of the

And thus tie conversation,began.
Sometimesit took place in the back of my classroom,long after the studentshad
left the room. We'd sit, and talk about the lessons,the students. We'd talk about the life
of a teacher,and the need to roll with theiuaehe#the highs and lows of beginning a

of my car, driving out of Kingston, through the traffrc circle, up Route 2g, into the

So I'm glad that in my first year as a mentor teacherI managedto stumble my
way to a few answers. I'd hate to think that my apprenticesleft with an image of
someonewho can't ever give a straight answer.
But, in a strangeway, I also hope that when they leave my classroom,they left
with more questionsthan answers. If they're okay with thaq then I think they'll turn out
to be great teachers. r j
