Test Taking Skills - YOUR Answers to Test 2

I have taken sample answers from various student papers that received 4/4 or 6/6 etc. on each question and put together this sheet which we will use to address Test Taking Skills as well as other skills listed on page 312. http://www.brandtnetwork.com/TestTakingSkills.htm

Just saw my test

Wow I just saw my test grade, and im very glad that you are letting us answer your questions and get some extra points....Thank you very much!!

Monday nights class

I really enjoyed last monday nights class, I think our guest speaker was really inspiring because I am one of your students who is going into deaf and hard of hearing along with elementary education. So I really enjoyed watching her and learning her answers to all the questions!!

Wednesday Night Agenda Change

Agenda for Wednesday Night class has changed.

I welcome/encourage blogging on any of these ideas to help prepare us for class:

1. Deafness - specifically:

• how the degree of hearing loss impacts language development.
• factors which impact speech and language development
• factors to consider for appropriate educational placement
• instructional strategies

2. Chapter 14 - Enhancing Language and Communication - we will begin with the list on page 312 and apply it to our own classroom and recent test taking experience

Classmates

Good evening! One of the most encouraging parts about teaching both of my classes is the warmth, encouragement and support you demonstrate for one another. There are several among you who are experience health issues, health issues of close family members, deaths in the family and SCHOOL WORK on top of all of that. I would ask that for those who are prayin' folk say a prayer for one another during this weekend when we celebrate. For others who choose to encourage and support peers in other ways I'd ask that you remember your classmates during these closing weeks of the semester. Offer extra smiles, encouraging words and help as you can.

I am appreciative of being a part of such a great group of students. We WILL complete this course SUCCESSFULLY - TOGETHER!

I don't get it.

I study, I frickin read the stupid book, and read the weekly resources. And I still to bad. I just don't get it.

Is it just me?

Is anyone else having problems posting? When I post it is kicking me out!

FINISHED!

I just finished the test ( because I was a slacker over spring break, AND a procrastinator) and I feel really good about it!! I think after seeing the results of the first test that it was easier to figure out exactly the kind of answers Mrs White wants. I think I did well! I hope everyone else did too!! I'm off to do some homework while I'm still on a "roll" haha! Hope everyone is staying dry on this rainy day!!

Article

While I was reading this article I noticed that it seem a little to familiar to me like finding the definition for language or even classroom layout. Although to you it maybe easy to recognize why this may see familiar but truly it not because of Mrs. White at all. I got to thinking and well, it because I had a experience with my 5Th grade class much like everything that they where explaining, groups and classroom layout, and all that good stuff but really am I crazy or is this article not pioneering?

Class Monday

I missed class last nite, what time is Wednesdays class, and would that be a good time to catch up?

Jenna

I am really glad we had a guest speaker tonight. It helped me to better understand what it is like to be deaf-which of course I know I will never completely understand. But, nevertheless, Jenna being in our classroom tonight truly made deaf individuals communication and language more clear to me.

I am familiar with ASL and Cochlear implants but I have only been exposed to them (including people who are deaf) very rarely in my life. When I was in elementary and highschool I didn't have any classmates that were deaf. When I came to EKU, it was the first time I had really been around it at all. It was very beneficial to me.

So- Jenna, if you read this, thank you for coming!

The Language Rich Article

I just finished typing out my article review, and I thought the article was a cool one to read. I had never thought about using a collaborative process like that in a classroom to enhance language aquisition. The article had some great ideas that I think would be a very effective and fun way for students to aquire different aspects of language. It's always great to broaden the horizon when it comes to education.

Article!

I'm really glad someone pointed out that the article had missing pages. I skimmed through it the other day and realized some things didn't quite make sense, but I figured it was because I didn't fully read it. So thanks to whoever figured out the whole page thing and I'm off to work on it now! :]
See everyone monday!

Spring Break!

I cant believe our spring break is almost over :( I have done some home work, but I feel like I havent done anything....which is good :) I havent done the test or article yet...but there both not due until the 19th, so I will do them this weekend!! I look forward to class on Monday, but I really wish this spring break wouldnt end!!

Seven Weeks

I hope everyone is enjoying their break! :)

I didn't get to vacation this spring break, but I am enjoying the time off-nevertheless! I just looked at my calendar for the rest of the semester and there will be only SEVEN WEEKS of this semester left (not including finals) after we come back from SB~ Yay!

Also, thank you very much Mrs. White for allowing the extension on our exam and article summary/critique. You are one of the most caring professors I've had throughout my college career! I love that I'm able to finish my exam on my own time... instead of while I was bombarded with a million other things to do during midterm week.

Thanks again- I hope everyone is getting plenty of R&R!

Question about observational report

I forgot to ask this. So we can go into a regular education room or does it need to special education room? I just wanted to clarify this. Thanks

Article - Reading Response

If you were NOT in class on Monday, your article - reading response IS STILL DUE in two weeks, March 19th. I would suggest you contact a classmate and make a copy of the article. It does not scan well in order for me to transmit it (email) electronically.

The Test

Mrs. White, I just wanted to thank you again for extending the date on our test and article!!! Im one of those people who does not deal with pressure well, and the fact that we can open our test up more than once and have after Spring break to finish is GREAT! However, I also love getting things finished so Im trying to get everything resolved before I leave Friday. ANYWAY thanks soo soo much..it helps my anxiety tons!

Family Emergency

I have not quit the Monday night class, last week I attended the Wed. class. My mother went for what was supposed to be a small routine surgery last Friday evening for a bowel obstruction, but it turned out to be much more than that. I was scheduled for military training and was already at the training site taht night, when my sister called to tell me I had to get to Somerset as fast as possible because the nurses had came out to tell them my mother was not going to live through the surgery. She did pull through, but she is in intensive care at Somerset Hospitle. There is no certainty that is going to make it just yet, but things are slowly looking better. I am taking turns with my father staying by her side all through the nights. I am going to do my best to be in class tommorrow night, but I am still curious as to what we went over?

test 2!

i just wanted to confirm that we did NOT [do not?] have a test today! for some reason, i have it written in my planner that we do, but i thought we did not....if someone could help clarify for me, id really appreciate it!
thanks everyone!
