English Words Class Learning

I chose to do my observation on a small (12
students) elementary ESL class. The students in

grade and all are fairly fluent in English, but
come from homes that use Spanish as the primary
language. The day began with a rehearsal of a play
this class will be performing for the first
graders. This play calls for the children to read,
understand, and memorize the parts of such
characters as the narrator, a donkey, cat,

Music In This Movie Singing And Playing Mood

The film that I chose to do my report on is Jerry
Maguire. The basic style of music in this movie

The Celtic Voice In Walter Scotts Waverley
1,128 words
The Celtic Voice in Walter Scott's 'Waverley' One
aspect of this novel which may not have received
its due attention is Scott's emphasis on the
strength and vitality of traditional Scottish
culture, especially folk poetry and music. The
presence of such an element is hardly surprising,
in as much as Scott's first important literary
work was an edition of Scottish folk ballads
('Minstrelsy of the Scottish Border', 1803). The
Celtic cultural aspect of 'Waverley' is scarcely
mentioned by the author...

Dramatic Effect Good Idea

If you were directing Act 2 Scene 2, how would you
do it? This is how Act Two Scene Two may be
directed in an excellent, effective way. Including
some different usages of facial expressions,
speech expressions and including the set design. A
good set design would be a dark forest at night.
There would be a full moon. It would be good to

The Odyssey And Lysistrata Lust
1,389 words
Lust is defined as an intense longing or a sexual
desire. It is a common theme in literature;
particularly in classic Greek literature. The

Deserted Rural Lane Person Has A Flat Tire Group

is usually discouraged in museums because one
normally wouldn t care to hear another person
singing while they were trying to view the
artwork. It just so happened that because it was
the middle of the day, on a Thursday afternoon,
the museum had very few people in it, and I don t
think any one expressed discomfort or dislike to
my singing! Two of the gua...
