Teaching Students to Write Well

Teaching Students to Write Well Teaching Students to Write Well To build a foundation for college and career readiness, students need to learn to use writing as a way of offering and supporting opinions, demonstrating understanding of the subjects they are studying, and conveying real and imagined experiences and events. They learn to appreciate that a key purpose of writing is to communicate clearly to an external, sometimes unfamiliar audience, and they begin to adapt the form and content of their writing to accomplish a particular task and purpose. They develop the capacity to build knowledge on a subject through research projects and to respond analytically to literary and informational sources. To meet these goals, students must devote significant time and effort to writing, producing numerous pieces over short and extended time frames throughout the year. Common Core State Standards One of the biggest changes put forth by the Common Core State Standards is an elevated focus on writing and overall literacy. More than ever before, students are now expected to: Write logical arguments based on substantive claims, sound reasoning and relevant evidence. Write arguments and opinion pieces from the earliest grades. Conduct focused and in-depth research for written analyses and presentations. Specifically, the standards state that students must build their writing abilities in three areas: argument/opinion writing, informative/explanatory writing, and narrative writing. Student Achievement Partners, a nonprofit organization founded by three lead writers of the Common Core State Standards, offers a variety of resources for teachers to get familiar with the Common Core State Standards and understand how to put them into action. As you have your students work on more rigorous and in-depth writing assignments, here are a few key points to keep in mind about different types of writing, as derived from writing samples provided on Student Achievement Partners website, www.achievethecore.org: Argument/opinion writing Students are provided (and read) texts and a writing prompt that asks them to form an opinion or claim about a focusing question. For students in the early elementary grades, opinion writing should offer a brief introduction, state the opinion, provide one or a few reasons for the opinion expressed, and provide a simple concluding statement. As students progress through elementary school, their opinion essays should become more robust and should have an introduction, clear statement of an opinion, evidence from the text to support that opinion and explain the students thinking, several paragraphs and a conclusion. Middle school students opinion writing should introduce a claim, acknowledge competing claims and rebut them with credible evidence and reasoning, organize reasoning and evidence logically, support claims with clear reasons and relevant evidence, and provide a concluding section that supports the initial argument presented. In early high school, students argument/opinion writing must introduce a precise claim with context and distinguish that claim from alternate claims, establish a formal style and objective tone, develop the claim with supporting evidence and reasoning, develop counterclaims fairly, and provide a concluding statement. Informative/explanatory writing Students are given a set of texts (or a video and a text, if younger) and a writing prompt that requests them to convey complex ideas and information. For students early in elementary school, informative/explanatory writing should introduce a topic, supply facts about it and end with a reflective concluding sentence. As students approach the later elementary school years, informative/explanatory writing should introduce a topic, provide a general observation and focus, use precise language to explain the topic, develop the topic with details, facts and examples, link ideas using words and phrases, and structure the essay to make it easy to follow. In middle school, informative/explanatory writing must introduce the topic, name the work about which the student is writing (and the synopsis of the story), offer relevant facts and details, give examples from the text, clarify the relationship among the ideas presented, give examples, establish a formal style and use precise language. In high school, students must give context to set the stage for an essay, use precise language to delve into the complexity of the topic, transition smoothly to clarify relationships among ideas and concepts, organize complex ideas and information to make connections, develop the topic with facts and details, establish a formal style and objective tone, and analyze ideas and information to make connections. Narrative writing Students write from a writing prompt and stimulating idea to develop narrative about experiences or events. In early elementary school, students must use temporal words or phrases (once, every week) to signal event order, recount sequenced events and include some details. Later in elementary school, students write narratives by first orienting the reader and introducing a narrator, using a variety of transitional words to maintain sequence, use narrative techniques to develop events and show characters response, use concrete details to convey experiences and provide a conclusion. In middle school, students engage and orient the reader by establishing context for narrative and introducing main characters, use dialogue to develop characters and events, use transitional clauses, use dialogue to develop character, use precise words and phrases and descriptive details, use description and reflection to build toward an outcome, and provide a conclusion.

7 Surprising Benefits of Learning a Foreign Language

7 Surprising Benefits of Learning a Foreign Language 7 Surprising Benefits of Learning a Foreign Language Learning a language is hard work.No matter how many time-saving tricks and how much language-learning experience you have, learning a language is a commitment.So you wouldnt be doing it if you didnt have a darn good reason.You probably already know that in the long run, all that time spent poring over books and watching videos is an investment youll be glad you made. After all, besides being addictively fun, learning a foreign language opens up new cultures, sharpens your mind and generally just makes you an all-around badass.But you might not know that over the last couple decades, as researchers have spent more and more time trying to understand language learnings far-reaching effects on the brain, they have come across several surprising, unexpected benefits associated with being multilingual.It turns out that learning a language is changing you in ways you probably didnt imagine. No worries, thoughâ€"according to the science, these changes are for the better! 7 Surprising Benef its of Learning a Foreign Language1. Bilingual People Are Less Stressed and NicerHave you noticed a little spring in your step ever since language learning became a part of your life? No, thats not just your new shoes. Does your smile shine a little brighter ever since youve started hitting the foreign language books? Nope, thats not just the new toothpaste youre using.It turns out that being bilingual may make you more relaxed and easier to get along with. A 2010 study found that bilingual children experience less anxiety, low self-esteem, loneliness and sadness. They also tend to get in fewer fights and get angry less frequently. In other words, theyre less stressed out and less of a pain to be around than their monolingual counterparts!Its still not totally clear why speaking a second language makes such a dramatic difference, but the researchers who did the study suggest that having the ability to understand and engage with multiple cultures may give bilingual children a broader emotional perspective that helps them stay happier and more balanced.If its true that the increased cultural openness that comes with knowing another language is the key to bilingualisms emotional benefits, we can expect that adults also stand to become chiller, nicer, happier people from picking up another language. Of course, we wont know for sure until more research is done on the subject.But in the meantime, if you want your kids to argue with you less, just sign them up for some language classes!2. Learning a Language Changes the Way You See Other PeopleIf a duck is adopted by a family of dogs, will the duck quack or bark?Researchers posed this and several similar questions (e.g. will an English child adopted into an Italian family speak English or Italian?) to a group of 5- and 6-year-olds in hopes of gaining insight into how the children viewed human nature. Children who view human nature as more innate and immutable, for example, are more likely to say that the duck will qu ack while those who believe peoples characteristics change in response to environment tend to answer that the duck will bark.Interestingly, the researchers found that whether children are monolingual or bilingual influences whether they see human nature as more fixed or changeable. Monolingual children see people as more unchanging and lean towards answering that the duck will quack, while multilingual children see people as more plastic and are more likely to say that the duck will bark.The truth, of course, is somewhere in the middle. Ducks probably will never bark (and the dogs might just decide to have the duck for lunch), but adopted English children do become fluent in Italian. And if you think about it, the fact that just being bilingual can change the way children view human nature so dramatically is actually itself a point for team “people are fluid.”Since this study focused on bilingual children, its not clear how these ideas might apply to adults. So as with the study on bilinguals getting in fewer fights, file this one under “probably has some implications for adults although we arent sure what yet.” But at the very least, one takeaway might be that the sheer process of learning a new language teaches us about human nature and therefore changes the way we view ourselves and others.3. Speaking a Second Language Adds a New Dimension to Who You AreAccording to a 2008 study, speaking multiple languages is actually a little like having a split personalityâ€"but in a good way. It turns out that bilinguals become subtly (or sometimes not-so-subtly) different people depending on which language they happen to be speaking.For instance, the study found that women who spoke both Spanish and English tended to see themselves as more assertive and appear more extroverted when speaking Spanish as opposed to English.One possible explanation for why peoples personalities and self-images change across languages has to do with the different cultural associatio ns tied up with languages. Every culture has its own set of expectations of how people will act and express themselves, so it may be that speaking a particular language subconsciously prompts us to view ourselves in terms of the cultural customs we associate that language with.For example, it may be that the women in the study became more assertive and extroverted when speaking Spanish because its the norm for women to be more assertive and extroverted in Spanish-speaking cultures than in English-speaking cultures.For language learners, this is more than just an interesting piece of knowledge. It tells us that to get the most out of our language learning, we should shoot for as much cultural immersion as possible, and that learning a language may expand our understanding of who we are by giving us access to cultures that let us see ourselves in different terms.4. Knowing Two Languages Makes You Better at Nonverbal CommunicationClearly speaking multiple languages allows you to commun icate with more people. But it may be that learning multiple languages just makes you a better communicator in general, including in the realm of nonverbal communication.In one study published in May 2015, researchers tested childrens ability to communicate effectively by taking other peoples perspectives and found that bilingual childrenâ€"as well as monolingual children who still had significant exposure to other languagesâ€"were better communicators and found it easier to understand other peoples intended meaning.The finding that bilingual children are more effective communicators fits with what researchers already know about bilinguals communication skillsâ€"namely, that bilinguals rely more heavily on nonverbal communication in their second language and therefore develop better nonverbal communication skills overall. But another study hot off the press (published in February 2015) made the surprising discovery that these same patterns play out in bilinguals online communication .Specifically, bilinguals tend to use more emoticons when communicating online in their second language than monolinguals communicating in the same language do. After all, emoticons are the cyber equivalent of nonverbal communication!Most likely bilinguals go heavy on the emoticons for the same reason they rely more on nonverbal communication in real lifeâ€"nonverbal communication helps fill the gap in a language they are less comfortable expressing themselves in. As language learners, we can take solace in the fact that even though it sometimes feels like an uphill battle trying to get our thoughts across in languages were not fluent in, this struggle to express ourselves is actually part of whats healthy about learning a language since it ultimately makes us better verbal and nonverbal communicators.5. Being Bilingual Changes the Way You See the WorldWhat color is the sky?If were speaking English and its a nice summer day, the answer of course is “blue.” But things get a littl e more complicated if we switch to a different language.In Japanese, for example, “light blue” and “dark blue” are separate colors with distinct names rather than variations of the same basic color. Although it seems easy to take the basic colors for granted, which colors are considered “basic” actually changes from language to language.And its not just a question of semantics. Words arent just labels for thingsâ€"they actually affect the way we see the world. A 2011 study found that Japanese speakers perceived light blue and dark blue as more separate colors than English speakers. In particular, Japanese monolinguals made the greatest distinction between the two shades of blue, English monolinguals made the least, and English-Japanese bilinguals fell somewhere in the middle depending on how frequently they used each language.Even more dramatically, people from cultures that dont have words for blue literally have a difficult time seeing the difference between blue and g reen. On the other hand, they can easily distinguish between subtly different shades of green that most English speakers have a hard time telling apart.When you learn a language, you are quite literally learning a new way of seeing the world. While much of the research so far on the mind-bending subject of how language influences perception has focused on colors, which are concrete and relatively easy to study, its likely the languages you speak influence your thoughts and perceptions in many other ways as well. So you can add “learning to think and experience reality in new ways” to your list of weird but true reasons to learn another language.6. Thinking in a Non-native Language Makes You More RationalLearning a language isnt cool, you know whats cool? A billion dollars.But you know what the best way is to get a billion dollars? Learning a language.Well, sort of.It turns out that people think more rationally and make better financial decisions when using a non-native language. In comparison with people using their native language, people working in a second language see things less emotionally, have less biased thinking and make more strategic long-term decisions.No ones quite sure why using a language youre less comfortable with would make you think more rationally, but one possibility is that learning a language as an adult is less automatic and engages more of the rational, planning parts of your brain, so these “thinking” parts of your brain get fired up whenever you use a language you acquired later in life (“later” meaning essentially any time after 12 years old).Two things we do know for sure though: (1) those foreign language books are worth their weight in gold, and (2) you can add “becoming the next Mark Zuckerberg” to your list of language-learning motivations.7. Learning New Words Gives You a Natural HighSex. Drugs. Chocolate.These are three things that your brain really, really likes.And scientists, who know how to take the fun o ut of everything, can hook you up to a brain scanner while youre engaged with one of these things, and theyll see that a specific part of your brain known as the “ventral striatum” (often colloquially called the “pleasure center” of the brain) is lit up like nothing else.There are other activities that make the feel-good part of your brain light up. Your brain loves gambling, for instance, which is why so many people get hooked on it against all better judgment.More importantly for our purposes, your brain loves learning new words too. Thats rightâ€"as far as your brain is concerned, learning new words is like indulging  in a piece of moist chocolate cake.And if learning new words is fun, learning an entire new language is like having  Mr. Wonkas entire  chocolate factory at your disposal. In other words, maybe the best reason to learn a new language is one you mightve known all alongâ€"learning a language is really, really satisfying.Of course, the author of this article do es not endorse the use of illicit substances. Nor does he encourage excessive gambling. But if you really want to let out your inner hedonist, study up some new vocab! Go wild!

How to Deal When Youre Intimidated by Your Boss

How to Deal When You're Intimidated by Your Boss Image via Pixabay.com 1.  Focus on your job duties Why are you at your job? Is fighting on a daily basis with your employer the reason you wanted to be hired by this company? No way! Whatever made you apply for this job, focus on those reasons and go about your job duties. If you wanted this job to build up your resume, keep that in mind when your boss comes breathing down your neck to see how your webpage is coming along. If you wanted the job because of money, great! Think of how much money you’re adding to your bank account instead of thinking about how annoying your boss may seem. No matter how intimidated by your boss you might feel, you should always remain focused on the tasks at hand. 2.  Do your best Remind your boss (and yourself) what you are capable of bringing to this company. Tackle every task with enthusiasm and use that brilliant mind of yours to solve any problem that may arise during your workday. Not only is it important to do your best at your workplace, but it’s important to give your all in any situation in your life. 3.  Don’t slack Whatever you do, don’t slack off. You may think that slacking off will be the perfect retaliation towards your less-than-perfect employer, but this will only succeed in hurting you in the long run. You are not doing yourself justice by slacking off and giving a task less attention than it deserves. If anything, your slacking off will serve as more “intimidation fuel” for your employer to use against you. You want to make yourself invaluable to this company and, when the time comes for you to leave, you want to leave with glowing recommendations and a sense of accomplishment, knowing that you did your very best in your position. 4.  Go above and beyond expectations Not only should you do your best, you should go above and beyond your employer’s expectations. If you get done with all of your regular duties for the day, go ahead and start working on some other things that need to be done. If your job is customer service, help your customers with a smile. Become more knowledgeable about the things that you are selling. Read up on the company’s history and take notes. Become the best employee that you can be. 5.  Remember your value No matter how your boss feels, remember your value. Just because you feel intimidated by your boss, it doesn’t mean that you are worth less as an employee. You were hired because you were the best candidate for the job. Have confidence in yourself and in the job that you’re doing. Show your boss that you are irreplaceable, no matter how much they might seem to dislike you. Image via Pixabay.com 6.  Ask questions Never let yourself feel dumb for asking questions during the job. If you need better clarification on a particular topic, don’t be afraid to ask. Asking questions is sometimes that only way to get the best answer. Remember: asking questions shows that you are involved in your job and care about doing something right. 7.  Stay positive Negative thoughts can affect your work performance. Don’t worry too much if your employer seems to hate your guts; remain positive. 8.  Remember that bosses make mistakes too Your boss is only human. They may not realize that their behavior is intimidating you. If their behavior is truly making the workplace unbearable, you could try talking to them about how it’s making you feel. If you don’t feel comfortable doing that, you could even file a complaint with HR. 9.  Be kind A smile and a little kindness can go a long way in softening someone’s heart. 10. Don’t be fearful Never be fearful of losing your job. Worrying like this will only negatively impact your work performance. Instead, take every day a day at a time and don’t fret over things that are not set in stone. I hope that these tips will help you to stand tall in the workplace, remain confident, and really show your boss how great of a job you can do!

Is Law School The Right Choice

Is Law School The Right Choice Through my various interactions with high school and college students, the majority of conversations seem to focus on one segment of my resume more than the other and that is my law school education. During my first year in law school I began speaking to student groups such as DECA and the Future Business Leaders of America. In this, I focused on inspiring students to understand their competition with their peer group when entering a higher level degree program or a career. I used my background to illustrate how sometimes it is necessary to eliminate your competition by doing things like seeking an alternative education or joining with industry groups that could foster their career ambition. At the conclusion of the sessions I would ask for questions. I would say that within the first 50 questions I received when speaking to students, 1 in 3 had something to do with law school. “What did you think of law school?” “Is law school right for me?” “What other careers choices do I have with a legal education?” I wanted to take the opportunity to share my observations about a legal education for those that may be contemplating this idea. We live in an education friendly world and a legal education is not just about going to three years of law school, taking the bar and becoming a lawyer. There are more opportunities for those with a legal background today than there ever have been. High schoolers, the first part is for you; college students, skip to the middle. For The High School Student- If you are a senior in high school today the very idea of law school may be so far away that you cannot focus on it. But let me say that if you have any even slight desire to one day attend law school, you need to begin thinking toward that goal as soon as your high school graduation party. Think about this, an average undergraduate student’s grades slip more during their freshman year in college than any other. It may take the next three years of school to make up for a few missed tests and poor grades (believe me, I know). But, the good news is the days of “pre-law” necessity are somewhat over. At one point in history, not so long ago, a graduating high school senior needed to determine their law school prospects before entering undergrad. This would ensure that they had the proper “pre-law” education and qualifications to gain entrance to a law school and excel when they got there. This archaic idea is quickly dwindling. Students have the ability to decide on law school much later in their college careers than they once did. Further, students do not need a “pre-law” specific education. Now, if law school is something that you are even slightly considering it would be wise to ensure that you have some elements of law in your coursework. This can come in the form of taking Government, Political Science, Business Law, Economics, or anything in between during your undergrad studies. However, as those that have seen Legally Blonde can attest to, even Harvard Law accepts fashion merchandising majors with no “pre-law” credentials. Today law schools want to see that you have desires other than law. This is because they want you to realize that a law school education does not mean you have to only be a lawyer. Law school graduates lead industries, have their hands in politics, are professors, work for non-profits doing everything from helping the environment to halting poverty, and the list goes on. If you have a background in something and show a passion for that, you are one step closer to your acceptance letter. Now, for those that want to jump in with both feet there are new alternatives to the traditional pre-law education. At one time, more than half of law school hopefuls went to undergrad for Political Science or an equivalent degree. This was a great way to get into law school and become a lawyer. However, for those that got to the end of the Poli Sci road and did not go to law school, their career prospects were very slim. I would encourage anyone that is in high school and really has a desire to gain a legal education to look into a non-traditional legal path. Bachelor of Laws (LLB)- A Bachelor of Laws degree gives a student the opportunity to take similar if not the same courses that they would in law school during an earlier period of their life. This degree helps tremendously when entering law school. Someone with this degree will already be close to a year ahead of everyone that they enter law school with. Plus, the classroom content a student would already have learned will help them better understand legal classes and the demand of law school. The reason this is a great alternative to a traditional pre-law path is the possibilities that come with this degree alone. If a student gets an LLB degree then decides to not attend law school, there is still a great legal career ahead of them. Someone with this degree can become a paralegal, a full-time law clerk, or a legal analyst, all of which pay very well right out of college. Also, a little hint, there is a tremendous need for these types of professionals right now! Law school also does not have to be something a student decides on right away when they are in college. Many law schools want to see that the perspective student has some outside experience past an undergraduate degree. I entered law school four years after my undergraduate graduation. This has helped me greatly as I had “real world” experiences that I could cite in my coursework. I encourage any high school student considering this path to research it heavily. Understand what law school you may want to go to some day and what their admission requirements are. Use that as a goal for gettin through your undergraduate work. For The College Student- I remember getting to college and never having thought about law school prior to a professor bringing it up to me. He said that in order to be more marketable for the types of jobs I wanted I should consider law school but not to be a lawyer. I never knew anyone would go to law school to do anything but be a lawyer. At that point in my academic career I was not ready to look at the next steps. I wanted to get through school and see what my options were first, then I would decide on a legal education. Many that are in college now, especially those nearing graduation, want to start seeing their futures presented to them. There are truly limitless possibilities with the right connections and the right attitude. Some may determine that three more years of school is not so bad. A traditional law school education will give you valuable tools to be a successful person even if you never see the inside of a courtroom. Buts let’s look at some variations in the legal education approach. Juris Doctor (JD)- By far the most common legal education is the Juris Doctor and it is considered the first degree in law. This is recognized by the American Bar Association and is the requirement to become a practicing lawyer in the United States. The JD considered a professional doctorate degree, similar to an advanced degree further than a graduate level education but less than a PhD type program. It is most simply the study of law, and anyone who chooses this path is expected to truly learn the law. Most, if not all, JD programs are three years and consist of traditional law classes such as Contract Law, Criminal Law, Torts, Criminal Procedure, est. It is also considered to be the most difficult three years of education present today. The reward for such hard work is the opportunity to enter an elite group of individuals who command some of the highest salaries in the nation. It is an excellent path to follow for anyone looking to live the law in their career. Juris Master (JM)- A Juris Master program is a happy medium between law school and graduate school. It is typically a shorter, condensed law school experience for anyone who wants a legal education but does not intend on being licensed to practice law. There is a growing need for working professionals to have a legal background. The JM degree offers that opportunity. Remember, sometimes education is about eliminating competition and the JM looks great on a resume. It shows that you have a mastery of the law plus you have a graduate school background so you know how to write, research and present. Many who have this degree to their name find themselves as heads of business and heads of state. Master of Legal Studies (MLS)- A Master of Legal Studies program is again a graduate program but it is more focused on the study of law as pertaining to the advancement of the justice system. This program is being offered more by universities that specialize in research. Any MLS program will look like a carbon copy of a JD program as far as courses are concerned. There will ultimately be less tests and more research with this program however. The MLS program is great for those that want to study like a lawyer but want to follow a career path that utilizes more of their research methods rather than strictly jurisprudence. Similar to a JM, graduates of these programs tend to work in the political or government sector and are even heavily recruited for national and military intelligence positions. It is one thing to understand the law but it is a whole other thing to know how to effectively ensure legal stability. No matter the choice, a legal education has become something more than three years of school to become a lawyer. There are options for a career in many industries with this background. I would encourage anyone who is considering a legal education to research and ask questions. Talk to people who have the degrees you are looking into and determine if it is right for you. Feel free to reach out to me with questions over this delicate academic choice. I have been where you are and I am available to help foster the idea of a legal education. Email me SethB@ppai.org or connect on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/in/lsethbarnett The Roman philosopher and one of the fathers of modern politics stated “The people’s good is the highest law”. Ensure that you are bringing good work to yourself and others through your education choice.
