    When it came down to me finding out where I wanted to do my site visitation for this class, it was actually a lot harder than I thought. I grew up in a household that had Hindu morals and values, however, my parents’ view on religion were quite vague. Growing up we never attended church (temple) and the only time we celebrated any religious holiday is when our grandparents came around. My parents believed in allowing my little sister and I to grow into our own religious beliefs. At first I considered practicing Christianity because most of my friends are Christian and I figured it would give me an opportunity to learn more about them. I ended up attended a service at a Baptist Church called New Birth Baptist Church located in North Miami, but when I sat down to write the paper I had nothing interesting to write about. I started researching different religions and finally came across a Buddhist temple called Wat Buddharangsi.…

    The students are beginning to feel comfortable with me, evidenced this morning when the students returned to their classroom and I received several hugs, which I truly appreciated. I had prepared my materials before the students returned, placing my character trait anchor chart on the easel with blank chart paper behind it. I had pulled up my Google Slides that showed a recipe format, had my mentor text with sticky notes ready and placed my handout sheets on the desk beside the Smart Board. As I did in my last lesson, I instructed the students to gather on the rug for the read aloud. I read Stone Soup by Marcia Brown, making sure to include voices for the characters and to utilize both tone and inflection to maintain the students interest in the book.…

    The Child By Tiger by Thomas Wolfe The story, "The Child By Tiger" written by Thomas Wolfe, is primarily interpretive literature, not escape literature. "Escape literature" is written purely for pleasure, while "interpretive literature" is written for pleasure and to help us understand the world around us. Interpretive literature educates, asks questions about life and presents some aspects of life that we may not want to face. " The Child by Tiger" is interpretive literature because of the way the author presents the story, the way it ends, the way it educates us, and especially how it helps us understand man's darker nature.…

Most of all of his actions did not directly help the people instantaneously, but down the road, they will see that all of the things he has done were for the better. While helping others, we learn more about him and how he is very ashamed of his life in the church.…
