reading A Bus Ride‚ and The Berlin Wall it is very interesting to read how you can incorporate active learning. Active learning is important‚ especially on topics that may seem boring to some. A Bus Ride really stood out. It was interesting how something you can do with adults‚ can still impact children in first grade. I think it is important in a classroom to let children express their feeling about something‚ rather than being “told” what is right to believe‚ and what is wrong. In A Bus Ride the little

In Lord of the Flies‚ Ralph‚ Roger‚ and Samneric face an early loss of innocence and the decision between civilization and savagery. Ralph‚ the chosen chief‚ represents

Should elderly drivers be allowed to drive? I have often wondered what the future holds for elderly drivers.
