Circular story mappingLora Hammon
油
Circular story mapping is a strategy that uses visual depictions to help students comprehend stories. It involves mapping out the main story elements, such as characters, settings, problems, and events, in a circular format to show how they are interconnected and the story begins and ends in the same place. This strategy aids reading comprehension by helping students visualize story components and sequence events. It is best introduced using simple stories and focusing on basic story elements for younger grades before expanding to more complex plots and abstract thinking for older grades.1996 Margaret A.

The document discusses brain drain, which is the emigration of skilled individuals from developing countries to developed countries. It provides historical context and discusses push factors like lack of opportunities in home countries and pull factors like better pay and facilities abroad. While brain drain has negatively impacted developing nations, some argue it can become "brain gain" if skilled emigrants return with new knowledge or if their success inspires others to remain. Larger countries experience less severe brain drain relative to their populations. Addressing factors that drive emigration like improving education and opportunities could help stem continuous losses of human capital.Human rights

This document discusses several aspects of selecting children's literature, including:
1) What makes an effective children's book depends on the genre - storybooks should have engaging elements while concept books should clearly convey their topic.
2) A good children's book stimulates imagination, uses enjoyable language, has developmentally appropriate content, and keeps children's attention.
3) When helping children choose books, the "Goldilocks strategy" of having them read a few pages and count unfamiliar words helps determine if a book is at their level.
4) Classroom libraries are important for giving students access and practice with reading, but books may become restricted if only available in one classroom. Tracking collections addresses this issueChoosing Children's Literature 2003 version

Reading groups provide social and educational benefits. They allow participants to discuss books, broaden reading horizons, and share reading experiences. Setting up an effective reading group involves choosing 6-8 participants, deciding on a meeting structure and book selection process, and identifying a facilitator to guide discussions. The facilitator's role is to encourage participation and make all readers feel involved while maintaining order. Reading groups can help improve literacy and critical thinking skills.More from hmfowler (20)

This document defines drama as a story told through dialogue. It notes that dramas are meant to be performed on stage or screen, so the setting is important. Since there is no narrator, the plot unfolds through characters' actions and speech as they deal with conflicts. Characters are central to dramas as they provide information and drive the story forward. When reading a teleplay, one should pay attention to the list of characters, dialogue attribution, scene changes, camera directions that visualize the story, and stage directions that describe the scene.Rj br intro

Wfs claimshmfowler

A claim is the "backbone" of an essay. It connects all the elements of a paper and defines the purpose by containing a topic and position on that topic. A good claim unifies the writer's thoughts under one main idea and prevents the reader from asking "So what?" about the topic. More specifically, a claim is not merely a statement of fact, personal opinion, or vague generalization. It should also propose a solution or make a comparison to effectively argue a position.Wfs academic voice

This document discusses point of view in academic writing. It explains that first person point of view uses words like "I", "we", and "my" and is not appropriate for academic papers as it makes the writing seem biased. Second person point of view uses "you" and addresses the reader directly, which can be seen as pushy. The document recommends using third person point of view with impersonal pronouns like "one", "they", and "people" to maintain an objective tone without directing statements at the reader.Wfs they sayi_say1617

The document provides guidance on using quotations in writing. It advises including outside sources and expert opinions to strengthen arguments and confirm claims. Quotations should be selected carefully and used to support key ideas. When including a quote, a writer must introduce it by framing it in their own words, cite the source, and explain how the quote backs up the point being made. Quotations add authority when used correctly and framed within the writer's own analysis.Ps transitions public

This document discusses the importance of using transitions in public speaking. It defines transitions as phrases that indicate when a speaker is moving from one idea to the next. Some examples of transitions provided are "in addition," "now that we've seen," and "on the other hand."

This document provides guidance on organizing a public speaking presentation. It explains that the introduction should grab the audience's attention, set the purpose, and preview the main points. The body should have 2-3 main points supported by evidence, using an organizational strategy consistently. The conclusion should reiterate the topic and purpose, review the main points, and leave the audience with a concluding thought. It recommends starting by outlining the body, then writing the introduction and conclusion, adding an attention-grabbing opener and memorable closing statement. Transitions and revisions are also important.Ps rate

This document provides tips for maintaining a natural and comfortable pace when public speaking. It recommends aiming for a rate of speech that is neither too fast nor too slow, as this helps ensure clarity. Various factors can influence speech rate, such as birth/culture, stress, fatigue, and complexity of content. Generally, a slower pace is better than a faster one. The document suggests having partners time each other reading to determine their words per minute and identify ways to optimize their individual speech rates.

This document discusses the use of visual aids in public speaking. It identifies different types of visual aids including PowerPoint slides, props, display boards, videos, photos, maps, and charts. The benefits of using visual aids are that they can improve audience understanding and memory retention, serve as notes for the speaker, provide clearer organization, and allow for more eye contact. When creating visual aids, speakers should make sure the aids are large enough to be seen by all and contain simple graphics, fonts, and information. Speakers should also practice with their visual aids and introduce/summarize the content while maintaining eye contact with the audience.St preview powerpoint

- 15. From Places I Never Meant to Be- Original Stories by Censored Writers Edited by Judy Blume Those of us who oppose censorship believe that reading about something is a safe way to explore and understand it, and that it is the best way to prepare young people to deal with the issues they will face, both in school and later in life. Its true that some material is offensive- but to know how to respond to it, we need to understand it. The first step in that process is to read and talk about it with an informed and responsible adult, like a teacher or parent. For this reason, we think that school should be the place where students are able to read about and discuss controversial or difficult issues.-
