Writing Inside The Caja: Constructing Pasos In English Composition Studies, Linda Joyce Preciado
Writing Inside The Caja: Constructing Pasos In English Composition Studies, Linda Joyce Preciado
Theses Digitization Project
In this thesis, I examine the resistance, privileges, and costs of Chicana textual identity issues in an academic arena that, by design, fragments voice and dictates choice. The scarcity in research of Chicana identity through mixed-language writing in composition depicts an existing chasm between academic demographics and university sentiments. Educational institutions that neglect to investigate, engage, and participate in textual identity perpetuate accepted pensamiento. Therefore, insight to Chicana thought, culture, and educational experiences may assist and inform the teaching dominant culture, not to separate, but to conjoin information with experience for those seeking diversity.
Differentiated Instruction With Middle School Gifted Students, Marci Lynn Lee
Differentiated Instruction With Middle School Gifted Students, Marci Lynn Lee
Theses Digitization Project
The education of all students is important in the school system, however, all students learn differently and are at different levels. One strategy that is used to cope with this issue is differentiated instruction. Di fferentiated instruction is when you teach to the individual student's needs by pre-assessing and determining those needs. If the student already know the information you need to move onto something more challenging for them. Often these gifted students already know the information, since they do come into each grade knowing 50% of the curricula, but quite often they are taught it again.
