Miranda is “Eve of an enchanted Paradise” (Works of W. Shakespeare vol 16), the meaning of innocence, beauty and simplicity. As soon as she meets Ferdinand, she is ready “to place her life, her love, her service beneath his feet” (Works of Shakespeare vol 16), which is opposed to what Fowles’ Miranda is doing. Though both are well educated, beautiful, they have different meanings of what life is about and what they should do in order to achieve fulfilment. Contrary to the cultural background, Fowles’s Miranda is a survivor, a woman who once being captured, learns to love life, while Shakespeare’s Miranda is fragile, always protected by the hardships of life by her loving father. Both Mirandas are imprisoned in a virtual cell, derived their…

Creating and implementing effective lessons for a literacy learner who is struggling with reading and writing takes much effort and appropriate resources. Throughout the Literacy Development course, I have gained much insight and resources that have become valuable tools in addressing students’ literacy needs. Each week, I conducted lessons and activities that targeted the needs of many students, but my initial focus on was on one particular student. His individual reading level, spelling development, and writing abilities were analyzed and the recorded data was used to drive instruction. The student chosen for the literacy learner study was a second grade student who is a struggling reader and is served in Response to Intervention Tier 3 (Mesmer & Mesmer, 2008).…

Some characteristics to look for in a reading approach are engaging strategies for low, middle, and high achieving students that provide meaningful experiences and develop literacy skills. Some activities that can be used to increase students’ reading skills is repeated readings, concepts of print, comprehension strategies like predicting and asking questions, and building vocabulary by creating word walls. These activities can be implemented in small groups or partnered work and as a whole group.…

Villanueva is successful now despite all the times his professors criticized his work because he applied the advice. Another point I was able to truly grasp through the readings is that the use of literacy will have a great impact on my job opportunities as well as any time I am speaking to someone with greater importance. “it is not just how you say it, but what you are and do when you say it.” (Gee 2) This is something that truly made me think and see how I could apply it to my everyday life. What came to my understanding is that actions as well as word use have a great impact on the situation. I believe the use of language changes throughout different situations and is also affected depending on the people who are present in that situation. For example, I want to become a Registered Nurse, eventually when the time comes to apply to the nursing program I will not use the same language as I would while texting or talking to close family or friends. Lastly, another concept I was able to acquire because of this course is motivation. Before coming into English 101 I never thought who my literacy sponsors were and why I was where I am today.…
Suggestion 1: When you read a book (for its educational value), take notes about it and formulate your thoughts as you go along. (You should be able to write most of your critique without looking back at the book. If you continually are paging through the book as you write, the result is likely to be a string of paraphrases taken from the book, rather than your own evaluation.)…
Most of the readings are followed by questions to guide your thinking about the teaching technique. A couple of ideas from each chapter have been selected for you to think about. You should take the opportunity to pause in your work and reflect on the question.…
The first intervention to address the students reading problem is to provide some one-on-one time helping with assignments. I can ask the student to summarize what he/she is reading throughout the story & help with difficult vocabulary words. Eventually, the student will participate with answering questions and reading aloud. Also, I would provide the student with class work that is geared towards his/her reading level that is within the classroom learning plan. An example, choosing story books with less difficult words, use flashcards or pictures with helpful illustrations. A third intervention is to provide the student with extra reading material to practice at home. This will help the student develop self-esteem & increase…
Knowledge I hope to gain from this AP English class is how to analyze novels. I want to learn to look at books from a different perspective than straightforward. Books were designed to have hidden meanings, to make you think differently, and to ultimately help you get a better understanding…
