    Summary Of Charles Baxter's Short Story 'Gryphon'

    Creativity in the classroom is often hard to come by in schools today. Learning revolves around a certain banking system- where the instructors give lectures and the student listens and takes notes. Once in a blue moon though, a group of students will come across a teacher who opens their minds and allows them to think freely. For the students in Charles Baxter’s short story “Gryphon,” the opportunity to receive a different education from what they’re used to experiencing on a daily basis will actually benefit their way of thinking; no matter how unusual the process may be.…

    Case Study: The Lion Of Judah Christian Academy

    Upon arrival to school students may choose to eat breakfast or students may choose which center they want to explore for an hour. After free time one of the teachers reads Bible stories and sings worship, praise, and inspirational songs with the students. The next step in this journey is Circle Time. Circle time consists of singing, recognizing, and identifying classroom rules, the calendar, days of the week, and the months of the year, weather, the seasons, shapes, colors, numbers, and alphabet. After Circle Time, it’s time for morning snack. During morning snack, the students may choose a snack provided by the school or a snack provided by their parents. Music plays softly in the background as the students are encouraged to communicate with friends. One of the assistant teachers, places the student’s on a line to go to the bathroom; this line is called the “Bathroom Bus”. Another assistant teacher sets tables with marker and worksheets. She also sets out three easels with paint and paintbrushes. The students in Group A trace, with a marker, lines that go across the page. The students in Group B paint lines across the page. As the students come in from their bathroom break, the teacher then invites them to join her on the rug. She uses this time to talk to the students…

    Acoustic Guitar Essay

    Acoustic Guitar Essay

    For a common acoustic guitar, there are six strings. These strings, either made of nylon or steel string acoustics, are tuned low E, A, D, G, B, and high E respectively. Subsequently, four factors determine the pitch when the strings are plucked: mass, tension, length, and mode of vibration. For instance, if you were to have a heavy string, it would take a longer time to vibrate, thus, giving it a lower frequency. And vice versa. However, frequency is not only limited to string vibrations as the tension of a string varies it as well. The tighter a string gets tuned, the more frequency and pitch is rendered. Needless to say, the increase or decrease of tension is determined through the way a guitarist decides to tune his/her…

    Guitar: Prejudice And Racism

    History has showed us the opinionated inferiority of African Americans and blacks in general. This hate and prejudice towards blacks birthed many emotions within the black race. The two most prominent feelings that resulted from this are love and hate towards themselves. Some blacks hate their skin because when they look in the mirror they feel inferior; they feel like they have to act like something they are not to be accepted into society as a conventional citizen. Constant abuse has led to feelings of remorse and resentment, sadness and anger all mixed in one. Another case are those who feel love for those that are oppressed. These are the people who feel the obligation to avenge those who can’t and won’t stand up for themselves. These radicals…

    Stereotypes Of Internalized Oppression In The US

    Teachers act as depositors and students are the the actual “deposits.” Teachers are given a set of standards that do not challenge, to any degree, a student’s creative mind. They are asked questions and respond with answers such as, “four times four is sixteen; the capital of Pará is Belém.” Straightforward and with only one correct response, teachers are tasked with “receiving, filing, and storing the deposits.” Children are naturally creative beings always asking questions and thinking about the world in an abstract and different way than adults.…

    Creativity in the Music Classroom

    As Julia Cameron once said, “Art is not about thinking something up. It is the opposite -- getting something down.” Creativity is the result of synthesising one’s knowledge, expressed through a medium outside of the original form. In the classroom, it appears as creating a particular “something” from scratch, so long as the student keeps to the rules of that particular “something”. Originality comes in the form of creation, in that no-one has made that particular expression before. Whether the creation is carefully recorded for future analysis or reproduction is subject to the teacher’s purpose for setting the process in motion.…
