TEED 4018
The most challenging thing about these interactive games was to make sure every single thing is in order, with no link out of place and what to make them about. It's not as time-consuming if you have a clear idea in mind. If I were to do this again and had more time I would make it more challenging and a more creative or fun theme.

This material is from the curriculum map of education of P.R. These topics were chosen because I believe every student should have domain over them. This course has thought me very valuable lessons that I need as a future teacher. The importance of knowing that every mind is different and every student has a unique way of learning, we as teachers must comprehend this and learn how to make our classes clear for them so they can learn. Incorporating technology is a great way to reach out to students and give them more tools to work with. In this educational page, there are three topics with information from good resources and ways for them to practice these, recollecting information is challenging, but it definitely can be done. This was a good project for me to learn about the curriculum and how to do proper research.

These assignments are made to verify if the student read and understood the story
and its context. Not only this but to also make them reflect on it a question for them to
think about what they think about the story and the events going on in the story, how do they see this, how would they handle the situation if they were in the shoes of the main character. The key to this type of assessment is to have clear instructions, but I find it most important as well to give a story of something they find attractive or relatable. This is meant to be a secondary school assignment, by the time they are secondary students already know more than what some adults may think. The situation in this story can shed some light on some situations they may encounter along the way or they have already seen or heard of before, as one of the goals is to prepare students for real-life encounters.
Rubrics play an important role in the classroom. It is important to have a well-made rubric in order to well assess student work. The students can use this as a guide and self assess, also for parents to understand what the student is being taught and how they are being measured. It serves as a communication tool between students and teachers, and parents and teachers. This rubric is to assess the way the students write their own short stories.

This is a book talk about the book Bad Girls Don't Die by Katie Alenderor. This was my first time making a book talk and found it so fun to do as well as to hear my other classmates talk about their chosen books. Book talks are a good way for students to recommend their favorite books and to find new books to read. Reading is such an important part of an ESL class and by doing these book talks we get students involved and motivated. We have to incorporate more readings that catch their attention, this way they can learn better and have some fun along the way. Classes don't have to be boring in order for them to learn.
Edmodo Online Class
For class TEED 3045 I had to explore the online world of teaching.
Teaching is not an easy thing and taking it online may be even harder to do, during this 2020 pandemic we have seen the importance and complicity of online learning. I believe we should start focusing more on online classes, how to make them better in every way for both teachers and students. This assignment has shone some light on all of these things as the one teaching.
ways to summarize
To summarize is to condense a text to its main points and to do so in your own words. To include every detail is neither necessary nor desirable. Instead, you should extract only those elements that you think are most important—the main idea (or thesis) and its essential supporting points, which in the original passage may have been interwoven with less important material.
Qualities of a summary
-
A summary must be comprehensive: You should isolate all the important points in the original passage and note them down in a list. Review all the ideas on your list, and include in your summary all the ones that are indispensable to the author's development of her/his thesis or main idea.
​
-
A summary must be concise: Eliminate repetitions in your list, even if the author restates the same points. Your summary should be considerably shorter than the source. You are hoping to create an overview; therefore, you need not include every repetition of a point or every supporting detail.
​
-
A summary must be coherent: It should make sense as a piece of writing in its own right; it should not merely be taken directly from your list of notes or sound like a disjointed collection of points.
​
-
A summary must be independent: You are not being asked to imitate the author of the text you are writing about. On the contrary, you are expected to maintain your own voice throughout the summary. Don't simply quote the author; instead use your own words to express your understanding of what you have read. After all, your summary is based on your interpretation of the writer's points or ideas. However, you should be careful not to create any misrepresentation or distortion by introducing comments or criticisms of your own.

Analyzing
Character analysis is the process of evaluating the specific traits of a literary character. This will include consideration of additional elements such as the role they play in the story and the various conflicts they experience
​
The setting helps create the mood and set the tone for the literary piece. You can analyze the setting by examining the surrounding environment, background, historical place in time and geographic location.
Character analysis means not only picking up on the subtle hints that the author may use to develop their characters, but also reading between the lines and noticing the tiny details that might, at first, seem insignificant.
For example, you might encounter a passage in a book, like the one below, which draws attention to an external personality trait.
Jessica gazed upon the tiny heart shaped pendant, her pulse quickened and she could barely contain her giddiness as she asked Tyler to fashion it around her neck.
Here are the things to look at when completing a character analysis:
1. Motivation: What are the underlying reasons for why the character being analyzed acts the way they do?
Why so they make the choices they make? Do they act impulsively? Do they act ethically?
2. Actions: How does the character act? How do their actions affect those around them? Are they the type to thwart wrongdoings? Or are they devious and mischievous? Similar to real life, the way that a character acts says a lot about who they are.
3. What do they say: Does the character appear to have a strong grasp of education? Do they use a lot of slang? Do they use generation phrases? Perhaps they speak as though they are a detective or a cheerleader? Do they say things like 'the bee's knees' or 'blessed be'? Many books do not have the added advantage of having photos or pictures, so the author must paint the character using words - words have value.
4. Descriptions: How do those who interact with the character describe them? How does the character describe themselves? These descriptions can be physical, they can be judgemental, even emotional.
5. Names: Consider a character named "Problem Pete", or one named "Little Alice", what sort of imagery does this convey? Do you find yourself making assumptions based on those names? Of course you do, that is exactly what the author wants to happen.

appropriate language
Ask any professional speaker or speech writer, and they will tell you that language matters. In fact, some of the most important and memorable lines in American history came from speeches given by American presidents:
​
We lose ourselves when we compromise the very ideals that we fight to defend. And we honor those ideals by upholding them not when it's easy, but when it is hard.
-Barack Obama
Appropriate Language:
Overview
Utilizing language appropriate for your audience and purpose is crucial when writing. Using language that is inappropriate can make you look foolish, weaken your case, or turn off your audience. This presentation will address some of the main concerns with using language appropriately, including formality levels, euphemisms and dishonest language, idiomatic expressions and slang, the usage of jargon peculiar to certain groups, and prejudiced or stereotypical language.
Here is a quick rundown of the various facets of language use that are proper. For a more thorough discussion, go through the remaining portions of this handout.
Levels of formality
The secret to successful writing is to write in a style that both matches your objective and your audience.
In-Group jargon
Specialized language employed by communities of like minds is referred to as jargon. Use insider language only when writing to other members of the same group. Jargon should never be used with a general audience without first being explained.
​
Slang and idiomatic expressions
Slang and colloquial language should be avoided in ordinary academic writing.
​
Deceitful language and euphemisms
Steer clear of misleading terminology and euphemisms (words that obscure the facts, such "collateral damage" for the unintentional destruction of humans and their property).
​
Biased language
Refrain from using stereotyped or biased terminology, such as that which is based on race, ethnicity, gender, or group.
