PB3

Some of the feedback I have Received from my ACURA project PowerPoint has been very helpful as I move forward on to WP3. For the most part, the feedback was good. I learned a lot about myself and how to correctly present when giving a PowerPoint. I was told that I did a good job of not reading off the slides. When I was a Sophomore in High School my teacher worked a lot with us and told us that the slides are there for people to read your information, so don’t read what you already wrote. Instead, talk about your ideas that aren’t on the PowerPoint to give your audience even more information and that really stuck with me. So to get that kind of feedback really helped boost my presentation confidence! Some feedback I received really helped me learn. Hearing that my peers felt I needed to improve on being more direct and o the point really helped with my ideas for really making my research question more precise. And hearing their ideas on to to make my ACURA project even better really he...

Continuing on from Tuesdays post- Pb2a

There are five questions I have about my discipline and things I would like to investigate... 1.How do outside sources interfere with learning? 2.Can a child's home environment have an affect on the way they perform in the classroom? 3.Do children in other countries have the same issues in education that they do in the united states? 4.Can having a strict hands on family make a child want to learn more or drive them in the opposite direction? 5.What drives a child to want to learn? 6.Are children in less fortunate countries have other things like drugs and smoking issues that affect their learning? To Facilitate a search to get some scholarly articles I can use a few keywords to get what I want those keywords are: Family  Children  Learning Education  Elementary/primary Drug Addict*  Visual learning  Types of learning in class  With this search “family + children + learning education + Elementary primary + drug addict*” there was 2,416 articles ...

Reverse Outline

You do not notice how much you need to work to better your writing. I was convinced that my Wp1 was very good until we worked on a few activities and I realized it needed more work. I think where I could have worked on is structuring my essay. I don’t think when I was writing I build my paragraphs of of each other and structural wise that is something I need to work on. I kind of just talk about my ideas in each with less of a structure. Right now I have three sources that star my paragraph and I need to change that to three ideas and then use the sources as a source. Moving forward there are changes I need to make. In the future I will make sure I organize my thoughts clearly before I type them into my essay or writing piece.Not only do I need to do that but I also need to make sure that when I am writing my essay I need to go back and read not just for punctuation mistakes but to make sure my structure is clear. Paragraph # Summary of paragraph 1 Rap musicians often us...
