Never Ending Lesson!

-
As we are approaching the end of the semester, I feel bittersweet because although I'm happy to complete the class, I'm also sad to leave it. I was beginning to enjoy this "writing" thing and learning the use of proper grammar and punctuations. I love writing and would like to continue practicing and improving upon the skill. I think it's a never ending lesson.

I have gained many new skills throughout the course, such as: how to write essays; how to expand my writing abilities as I learn from the previous written papers; the resources provided on campus like the library, internet, and books; how to cite and quote appropriately using the APA standards. While all the papers offered different challenges to write, I strongly believe that due to these challenges my writing has substantially improved. There were even times when I felt like giving up but still knew I had to push myself and try my best. Out of all of the skills I gained, one that will transfer to almost all aspects of my life is....time management. Living in a fast-pace society, time management is imperative in order to plan and prioritize daily life activities and goals.

Although the book "On Course" presented several concepts to time management, I realize that it is up to every individual to tailor it to their own experience.  It is according to the priorities and needs of each person to use their time wisely. The advice that made an impact on me was "Don't be lazy and re-read your paper always" and "Do Not Procrastinate!".

    Well said, Violeta! Time management is definitely something that has to be learned--just like good writing skills. I'm very happy that you have enjoyed this class and have found skills that you will take with you!

Chapter twelve covers, Motivation Learning and Teaching. Motivation is a very important factor in the learning process. I believe that a motivating learning environment supports the education process. It is the key factor in getting students involved in the learning process and in keeping them engaged at their level of academic performance. Most educators believe that motivating is a difficult. We learned motivational ideas that are useful in the classroom. Woolfolk’s definition regarding motivation is an internal condition that arouses, directs and maintains behaviour (462). According to psychologists, motivation is an attribute that instigate movements, energy, direction, the reason for our behaviour and “what” and “why” we do something. Motivation is a persuasive feeling that always provides positivism to students to accomplish a task or activity to the end and succeed in it no matter how hard and tough it is (464). It can also give a  feeling of ways to go down and obtain anxiety

Teacher Interview

  TEACHER INTERVIEW The teacher that I interview is Ms. Ferrell.  She is an intermediate teacher at Penn Elementary school CPS). I was her assistant in 2008-2012. Just recently, I did my observation in her classroom. I have to say that the time working with her and recent interaction with her and her students, I haven’t seen her children be severe behavior problems. I have seen her build a relationship with her students. She is a very calm teacher, and I have never seen her be stress in front of her Students. I always observe her passive and go above and beyond for the students. Violeta: Can you please introduce yourself?  Ms. Ferrell: Hi, my name is Tewana Ferrell.
