Dyslexia and Motivation
When one thinks of a motivated individual, one often thinks of a stereotype. The individual is usually formally educated, sharply dressed, and on the fast track to an Ivy League university. They do not have any special needs that hold them back from their studies, because how could anybody with difficulties in math or reading ever succeed in the real world? Actually, individuals with difficulties in school sometimes end up being quite successful in the real world, particularly those with dyslexia. Dyslexic individuals are prone to thinking outside the box, being pushed harder by their teachers, making ...

Apparently, throughout the work of Patricia Bizzell, she employs the use of rhetorical questions. By definition, a rhetorical question is a question normally asked for effect, with no anticipation of an answer in regard to the same. In most of the parts where Bizzell incorporates the use of rhetorical questions, she does so essentially because the answer to it is too obvious, or it is provided immediately by the questioner.
Firstly, Bizzell makes use of the rhetorical questions to engage the reader by offering him or her platform where he or she can assimilate ideas in relation to that of ...

Systematic phonics instruction is a subset of educational practice that offers children a variety of tools to help ease their ability to read.

Dickinson’s “Crumbling is not an instant's act”and Shakespeare’s “That time of year thou mayst in me behold”

Emily Dickinson’s poem, “Crumbling is not an instant's act,” is a fascinating description of how a person’s life or self disintegrates.

Emotions that are depicted in the poem include wonder, detachment, and resignation. The wonder felt about “crumbling” comes from the visual descriptions that Dickinson gives to the process, calling it “a Cobweb on the soul” and “Devil’s work” among other things (5, 9). Dickinson describes the process of “crumbling” as ...

Introduction

Young adults of today spend more time “accessing digital-media information than information from traditional printed texts” (Hsu & Wang, 2011, p. 68), which contributes to their negative reading achievement.

While the literature and interest in bilingualism in education in the Middle East remains new, it is widely practiced across the world either by design or by a complete accident.

Karmani (2005) and Karmani and Pennycook (2005) in Gallagher (2011) deconstruct the evolution of rhetoric and attitudes towards English, which was inevitably associated with the US activities in the Arab world, besides the perceptions that is is a ...

She reacts positively to the text [] and, despite her initial confusion with ‘glibness,’ she seems satisfied with her simple reading []” (Haas & Flower 128).
In this passage, one can see the author establishing differences between the ways that people read the text in question. ...

Article: Chicken Hips

From Piggott’s story, it is clear that the Gambian people consider women to be beautiful when they have broad hips, swinging breasts and round thighs (paragraph 17).

The people also celebrate being fat, and it does not bother them to have large portions of food in their meals (paragraph17). This is a stark contrast to the culture in ...

1) Spoken language is an absolutely integral element of learning which is often undervalued in educational settings – textbooks and written/visual stimulation are typically the preferred methods to teach students. However, spoken language has a great deal more to offer as a vehicle of learning than is typically considered for a variety of reasons. For example, the use of grammar and inflection is an important component to understanding, as words can often be divorced from their meanings. To that end, spoken language is an absolutely vital tool to teaching and learning, as complex ideas and concepts can be conveyed through the linguistic systems ...

The learning of a language for children is a very wanting task. However, children acquire language with relative ease as they experience various learning situations from their caregivers, siblings, and parents. In addition to this, children acquire various languages within the broad outline in accordance to a common trajectory (Ruston, & Schwanenflugel, 2010). Despite the ease of acquiring language, there are striking individual differences in the rate and timing of lexical and syntactic growth even among siblings.
The differences in the rate of acquiring language is quite significant due differences in environment. The role of parents can influence language ...

Abstract

Jane Kenyon’s poem Let Evening Come is an appeal to the innumerable readers to embrace the inevitable which awaits human beings at the end of the journey of life. The poet uses quintessential literary elements to express her emotions. The form, language and content of the poem make the literary work stand apart and converses the central theme of the poem metaphorically. The simplistic structure and language appeals universally and beings forth the message that human beings should submit to the impending “evening” and should let go of their inhibitions. The poem describes the transformational phases of various ...

In William Beckford's 1786 novel Vathek, the titular character, an Arabic caliph with endless sexual passion and thirst for knowledge, delves slowly but inexorably toward damnation with the help of his astrologist mother, Carathis, and a Jinn known as Giaour. This book, along with Mary Shelley's Frankenstein and Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, demonstrate early examples of Gothic fiction. In particular, however, Vathek can be cited as an example of queer Gothic fiction; as Gothic literature deals greatly with the unknown, Vathek's journeys and the characters he meets along the way can be interpreted as homosexual (or at least ...

Excellent research informs on an individual’s career, and therefore dictates their success. Ensuring that people in various industries are aware of one’s efforts, which regards the eligibility of their research to get to the academic committee, is crucial for building their work and develop new opportunities in future.

Non-material notions such as courage, love, truth or faith have been debated in terms of philosophical studies, as well as became central topics of literary works of different genres.

Why students don’t use school libraries?

In a study conducted on students in Morogoro Municipality, Tanzania, it has been found that most commonly used library sources by students are books and novels. However, it has to be considered that knowledge cannot be acquired only through text books or lectures. Some other resources of information, which are commonly used in present day education, are also required such as different kinds of dictionaries, atlases and maps, poetry books, and audio visual presentations. Sometime, these are not available in libraries; therefore, it becomes difficult for students to find all the required information. Among other difficulties faced by students in ...

Summary of the writer’s Particular Ideas about Literacy

Laura Miller’s masterpiece, The Magicians Book: a Skeptic's Adventure in Narnia has been vividly used to enhance student’s understanding of various literary concepts (Sebesta and Donelson, 1993).

C.S Lewis used Narnia to portray various aspects of literature. The book is a story of Miller’s unrestrained with C.S Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia. Miller, therefore, casts the chronicles as a profound literary creation and a life-long adventure in art (Miller, 2008). The author realizes that she ...

I have never read much poetry because it has never been a part of a class before. I find that poetry is a little bit scary because it could be hard to understand what the poet is talking about, kind of like a riddle. If a teacher asked me if I would rather write a short paper about a news article or a poem, I would choose the news article because I understand how news articles are written but I do not know much about poetry.

Even though I do not know much about poetry, I remember once when I was younger a teacher gave us an assignment ...

Analysis of the poem “The Blue Bowl” by Jane Kenyon

Jane Kenyon’s poem “The Blue Bowl” is a short but strong work, representing the feelings about loss and death. Initially, it seems to be quite a simple and explicit poem, as the author tells us about the death of a cat in the first line:

with his bowl.” (Kenyon)
However, with further reading and restating the poem, we realize that it has a much deeper sense. It is filled with symbols, which show us the inevitability of death. The title of the poem is a clear evidence that the blue bowl is a symbol, which must be explained ...

Traianou and Hammersley (2008) argue that it is widely accepted that both educational policymaking and education practice should be evidence-based, or evidence-informed. According to Traianou and Hammersley (2008), this is expected to be common place amongst policymakers. Teachers are not expected to operate on ignored evidence (Traianou and Hammersley, 2008). The evidence-based practice movement’s origins lies in medicine and claims that research evidence should be given a higher priority in the decisions made by both policymakers and teachers (Traianou and Hammersley, 2008). This essay intends to compare five different articles regarding evidence-based and evidence-informed practice amongst teachers. The ...
