-Students’ motivation and meaningful learning in primary science and technology
According to Brady (2008), young children usually show an innate attraction towards science and technology. As teachers, we should take advantage of that innate attitude and develop age-appropriate experiences in order to make science come alive in unique and meaningful ways for children. However, the latest science literary NAP report conducted by the NSW Education Standards Authority (2015) reflects that even though most students show interest in learning new aspects of science, many of them do not relate science to their daily lives. In other words, they are not able to assess information accurately when making decisions in the real word. As mentioned by Russel

The Sioux consisted of different branches, and Crazy Horse was a part of the most western band called the Lakota. Crazy Horse was given the name Tashunka Witco, and no one really knows how he got the name Crazy Horse.

Literature can be defined as an expression that relies on four major characteristics: imagination, emotionally compelling capabilities, a written form, and worthiness of being passed down. While these may form the primary basis necessary for a writing or group of writings to be considered literature, not all literature expresses these characteristics in the same way. The concept of literature was established to allow readers to better understand what makes a writing worth taking the time to read. For example, some forms of literature are meant to express a particular groups origin by means of creative beginnings like the Iroquois and Navajo creation stories. Other forms of literature, such as the Winnebago Trickster Tales, might intend to

"The Race" by Sharon Olds uses a myriad of literary devices that all connect the tone of anxiety. The poem also introduces two central themes such as discontent and persistence as a result of figurative language. Through series of repetition such as "... flight was cancelled..." or "... I ..." and any other verb that shows how this girl is hustling, the author emphasizes a rushed environment and how anxiety and tension are pulsating. Since the start of the poem, there has been a consistent amount of I's followed by an action verb that illuminated the airport rush and how time was not on her side. Next, with the support of enjambment, diction, and poor sentence structure, the author uses many run-on sentences to focus on the intensity
Napstablook is a sad sack. That 's the first impression anyone will get of them within seconds, and it 's also the conclusion most will come away with after extended interaction, just with more nuance. Mind, getting the extended interaction in the first place isn 't common. They keep to themself, usually staying at home where they find music on the internet, watch TV, or do farm work -- or they go out visiting somewhere even more isolated, by way of ghost. They 're not shy in a panicky-anxious way, but unconfident and pessimistic, and just... not really feeling up to it, shall we say.
Are we able to control our destiny or the outside forces? There are very good arguments about that but at the end of the day, I feel like we don’t control what happens to use in the future. Especially after I read the book, “A Lesson Before Dying”. Jefferson, the main character, was executed for something he didn't even do. He had a future and it was all gone due to what he couldn't control.

Life Of Dr. Seuss An interesting fact about Dr. Seuss is that Seuss wrote Green Eggs and Ham from a dare that his publisher gave to him when he said that Seuss couldn 't write a book by only using 50 words. Seuss is one of the most well known authors for his collection of many children 's books. Some may even say the very best at what he does because of the way Seuss wrote and also his illustrations. All in all Seuss is a great writer that started from literally nothing. In the following paragraphs you will begin to see some of the ups and downs of Dr. Seuss’s amazing career.
Doctor Seuss was a well-known children’s book author who mainly focused on poem-like stories with lengthy rhyme schemes and complex meaning. These stories created worlds of imagination for the young minds of children to delve into. However, one specific book he wrote, “Hop On Pop” carries a special meaning to children across the globe.. “Hop On Pop” by Dr. Seuss is a short story with a structure much like that of a poem, with a strong rhyme scheme and short, comprehensible language leaving much to the mind to illustrate. Dr. Seuss uses a very creative rhyme scheme in his books because it is different in every book and on every page.
literary analysis: Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets I’ve read Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets, a book written by J.K. Rowling. It’s the second book in a series of 7. The book is about Harry Potter, a 12-year-old wizard going to Hogwarts. This year, people are getting stupefied without anyone knowing the reason behind it.
The story “Rip Van Winkle” by Washington Irving is a moral allegory; a story that represents an abstract or spiritual but is portrayed in a literal way. “Rip Van Winkle” is a tale that is comprised of multiple abstract and hidden meanings, which are all cloaked by material forms. Irving’s use of setting, symbolism, and characterization help to produce a tale that intertwines mysticism with history. Together these create a deeper meaning behind the life of a simple man oppressed by his wife, truly standing as a symbol for the ruling of the British crown over the Thirteen Colonies.
Evolving methodologies for curriculum and instruction are essential to improving how we educate. McMillian positions that essential to this is understanding the value of scientific inquiry. He explains, “the principles of scientific inquiry provide the foundation for conducting studies…analyzing educational problems, making decisions, and designing, conducting, reporting, and evaluating” (McMillian, 2016, p. 7) to provide significant benefits for engaging students and affecting achievement. Among the changing methodologies is the consensus that the use of STEM-education concepts are necessary to prepare students for 21st century skill-building. Subsequently, this has led to an instructional methodology that highlights math-centered curriculum, and the instruction of science and technology as independent of core content.
Nature is one of the most powerful and mysterious forces of the universe that influences man greatly. Philosophically considered, the universe is composed of nature and soul. It controls all the living, non-living, human, non-human, organic, inorganic and visible, invisible things. It rules over the universe like a monarch and man can’t escape from the influence of nature; he is influenced by both nature and culture. To man nature is the pure and original source of happiness.
