Extractions: CLASSROOM POLICIES AND PROCEDURES ACTS of KINDNESS, A-OK Kindness is being gentle, tender, gracious, considerate, generous, charitable, or sympathetic. Kaiserslautern Elementary School staff and administration wants to recognize students who behave or act with kindness. Be part of the AOK program. Here is how it it works. When a teacher sees a student being kind, s/he will complete an AOK card: the student's name, grade, and teacher. The student places the AOK card in a box in the office. Every month, the cards will be placed on the bulletin board labeled Acts of Kindness in the main hallway of building 2000 between the cafeteria and art room. AOK cards are being placed in the faculty mailboxes and in hallway envelopes throughout the school for staff use only. Please contact office personnel if you need more cards or if an envelope needs a refill.

Extractions: Syllabus EN 400W-01 Maj. Roger Thompson Advanced Composition thompsonrc@mail.vmi.edu Preston 201A 207C LeJeune MWF 10:00 x7057 Course Description : This course assumes that you have 1)a facility with reading and writing as can be expected from having passed EN 101 and 102; 2)a strong desire to improve your writing; 3) a desire to understand theories of reading and writing and how those theories might influence your own writing. I teach the course from a process and revision standpoint, meaning that I firmly believe that reading and writing require extensive practice and reworking. I also believe that writing is a heuristic, meaning that writing is a tool for learning and acquiring knowledge and that certain knowledge is inaccessible except through acts of literacy. I will teach skills that emerge from the discipline of rhetoric but that are applicable to a wide range of fields, including especially English, law, history, and economics, and these skills are essentially a type of critical thinking and assessing that derive only through working with your own literacy. General Class Activity : This course is arranged to provide a new way of reading and writing through a series of building blocks. First, you will assess where you currently stand and build and rebuild a foundation for the coming weeks. Then, you will learn a new set of skills, and you will be asked to rethink some of your initial ideas about reading and writing. Finally, you will use your new skills to produce a collaborative paper with a partner. Each of these 3 general segments will have smaller steps within them, so that you will be working in a systematic fashion toward your final goal.

English 102: Composition And Literature underestimate teachers perceptiveness (and/or computer literacy). (The chaptersto be read for daily homework in Literature for composition Essays, Fiction http://www.carcosa.net/donathl/engl102/Engl102Syllabus.html
Extractions: Course Description English 102 asks you to apply the argumentative writing skills you learned in English 101 to literature. We will read a wide variety of literature of different genres and time periods, considering them individually and in relation to each other and the world around us. We will explore the purpose of literature and, more importantly, develop your own ability to read a text and say something interesting and intelligent about it. Developing this ability is the primary focus of this course. We will learn several different critical approaches to literature and use them to construct arguments about the literature we read. Learning how to construct an argument and developing an awareness of your cultural resources (both of which are necessary for writing about literature) are certainly among the most valuable things you can learn in college. Fortunately, for most people, they're also fun and satisfying abilities to nurture.

In the second half term we will be further developing division and multiplication strategies. We will also cover shape and space, time, measuring weight in kilograms, fractions and data handling.

At the end of each chapter students must take the chapter test and get a grade of 80% or higher. This chapter test is a review of all the material they have covered in the chapter. Reading will be taught fourth period. Students will be using the Autoskill Computer Reading Program, which is a comprehensive phonics based approach to teaching reading.

Students must also complete the same ongoing homework assignment as English period one. Computer Literacy will be taught during sixth period. In this class students will learn about how computers work, their component parts and how to use some of the more useful programs such as a word processor, spreadsheet and database. Students will be using Microsoft Office on IBM clone computers to accomplish what is asked of them. No formal text will be used. Emphasis is more on learning by doing. Students will have one assignment for sure, and possibly two, on each of these programs. This will help familiarize them with these programs. Student's grades will be based heavily on these assignments. Tests will be given after every 2 to 3 weeks of class. Students will also have the opportunity to go online and learn how to use the Internet as a learning resource. Homework will be given as necessary to reinforce new learning.

Extractions: (Back to English Deptartment Page) Suggestions and Resources Instructors are not obligated to meet with students during this time; however, to ensure that students take the requirement seriously, we need to set up clear expectations and a means of measuring their work. The Learning Center has a computer system set up to track student hours (see Rita Sabbadini), or you may create your own system (see below). Devise grammar or writing review exercises tailored to individual student needs Have students meet in study groups, either physically or virtually (online) Give an additional reading assignment Have students complete a contract that stipulates what they will accomplish with their time Offer advanced students the opportunity to tutor others in the Learning Center Have students keep a journal of their hours and accomplishments Use Academic.com, an online grammar and essay-level program that tracks student hours. Check out the website, or speak with Rita in the Learning Center for an orientation. Volunteer to lead a writing workshop on a topic of your choice Have students attend tutoring sessions in the Learning Center Assign activities the companion websites for your textbook(s) o 1. study skills

Extractions: ERIC Digest. "Being "scientific" involves being curious, asking how things happen, and learning how to find the answers. Curiosity is natural to children, but they need help understanding how to make sense of what they see. All we need is a willingness to observe and learn with them, and, above all, to make an effort and take the time to nurture their natural curiosity." http://www.pmct.org/science.html Guidelines and resources presented here are intended to help willing parents nurture interest and success in science among their children. Each school has its own science program and expectations, but most are aligned with state curriculum frameworks or guidelines that are, in turn, strongly influenced by national standards.
