She apparently was born in Russia, she lost her first adoptive American family to a mysterious fire only she survived, her records in the old country cant be found, and bad things happen whenever she is around. The couple decided to adapt a child because they struggling to regain some semblance of normalcy in their lives cause of tragic loss of their unborn child. They immediately fall in love with the well-educated orphan. Their young son, Daniel, is hostile to his new sister but their deaf daughter, little Max, is enchanted with her - at first. But Esther isnt as sweet as first impressions suggest, and almost immediately after welcoming the young child into their home, an alarming series of events begins to unfold, leading Kate to believe that theres something wrong with Esther--this seemingly angelic little girl is not what she appears to be. Concerned for the safety of her family, Kate tries to get John and others to see past Esthers sweet facade. Eventually, Kate found out to Dr. Varava that Esther is not really a little girl, she is a grown woman. Esther has a rare hormone disorder.

    The English strategy for colonies was to create a very tight knit group of people to survive in a place where it would take years for any help to come.

Like it just made people nice and productive. That was supposed to make other people want to come there. That strategy was also supposed to make people want to be like the city on the hill. In other words they wanted people to be like the best city.

The writer uses animals to replace humans to possibly convey a message or point of view towards the death penalty. In the story, the mouse is being executed for what we believe is some sort of crime. It isn’t clear whether or not the mouse actually committed a crime, but we are led to believe that an act occurred in which caused the mouse to be executed on this particular day.…

    In many ways it appears that the Constitution of the United States was meant to abnegate the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. However, if one follows the history of our nation’s founding from the first colony to the ratification of the Constitution it is possible to see that the new form of government prescribed therein serves to protect the human rights that were proclaimed as the rights of all men in the Declaration. Recognizing permits a view of the Constitution as giving new life to the spirit of revolution. The authors of the Constitution held a view of a union between the states that was free yet orderly, with powers invested in the union distributed in such a way so as to protect the rights of the people.…

    Discussing the example with the stepmother going through her stepson’s phone made me think a lot about where the line between respecting your children, but at the same time looking out for them is drawn. Growing up my parents has had very different ways to go about this line. My dad has always been very clear with rules, and what’s wrong and right and such, but he also left a lot of space for us to experience and learn from our mistakes. While my mom was more the kind who wanted to stop us from making them in the first place, which sometimes can be very overwhelming, because that where the boundaries of personal space can be blurred. I remember that I would go mental if she read my text messages, or a letter that was for me, or if she even moved an object in my room, at a very young age. And we would have fights where she would claim that it is her right as a parent to know what is going on, not matter how old I am. But now that I am older I find that I wouldn’t be mad if she did these things, I would be sad and disappointed. But in my case I don’t have anything to hide, while in the stepson’s case he is actually proving her right in her checking up him, because his actions are those of someone irresponsible, although the stepmother’s actions are of someone who is being disrespectful. That is what makes this particular situation so hard. I remember going through something similar with my little sister, because I tend to be a little too overprotected of her and I worried what she might be influenced to do, simply because I know how hard the “teen world” can be. So this one time I dropped her off at the dentist office, she asked me to hold on to her phone for her, and my curiosity got the best of me. I read through her texts and actually found a text of about her pretending to be our father saying that she was too sick to come take her test and that he would send her with a…

    1. Technology integration was the topic of this week’s chapter assignment. The chapterdiscussed two learning theories for a foundation to integration: Directed models andConstructivist models. The directed theory revolves around behavior and the processingof information. The constructivist theory deals with more of a “hands on” and socialaspect approach. I would imagine most students at the early levels of learning are morevisual and social learners taking more from experiences than a book. I guess it justdepends on your beliefs and how you can best implement a strategy based upon yourclassroom. I personally feel that the classrooms in Piaget’s day were a lot less diversethan today’s. I think a teacher’s theory should be like a floating floor adjusting to its newroom constantly. Integrating technology into a classroom can be very tedious and there are many thingsthat teachers need to take under consideration. The (TIP) or Technology Integration Planis a model that is used to “help teachers (especially those new to technology) plan foreffective classroom uses of technology” (Roblyer & Doering, 2010). I was prettyimpressed with the model and how it went into detail with each of its phases. The phasesare broken down easy with the teacher in mind. The first stage allows teachers to setlearning goals for themselves. The next phase assists the teacher in deciding whether thelesson would be better with or without technology. I mean, it really breaks it down verywell with each of its six stages. There is also a lot of information in books and online. Ifound a pretty cool article that discussed seven different ways teachers could integratetechnology into the classroom. Create a clear vision of what a technological classroomlooks like, build an on-campus and online learning network, and invest in yourself as ateacher. These are just a few things that will help in integrating technology into theclassroom. The chapter discusses vital conditions to be present before and…
