Reading Critical Thinkings Samples For Students

One of the themes in Burmese days is imperialism. It can be defined as a certain type of governing entity that has its main aim in increasing its size, through acts of war or political bulling other countries to bow down to their rule of law. The book highlights the lives of Burmese natives who live under the mercy of British colonialists. It portrays this by using three main characters; U Po Kyin, a corrupt Burmese magistrate, Dr Veraswami a reputable Indian doctor and John Flory a European who in his circles is known to be of high prestige. In the second ...

Group work is one of the most important aspects of learning because it enhances creativity and sharing of ideas among students. I have studied the application of group work in the classroom context and acquired some ideas on how to improve learning. Even though most of the literature material on this topic focuses on ENL learning, I believe that teachers can also use group work beyond ENL learning. The second reading discusses the concept of group work in ESL learning. This discussion confirms my understanding that the concept of group work goes beyond ENL learning. The author provides a systematic ...

[Title of Institution] Reading 1: Using the assigned reading from Rowlandson, and then EITHER the assigned reading by Columbus OR Cabeza de Vaca, discuss the tone and the purpose of each piece. Which piece best fulfills its purpose? Why? How does the first person narrative form help the purpose? Rowlandson’s approach was more formal and less direct. The narration appeared less personal as compared to how Columbus made his letter, although both authors were telling the story of what transpired base on personal experience. The content of the reading was pure of emotions—fear, anger, rage, ...

The discussion on language and context confirmed my understanding that learning English as a second language was not a linear process. According to the first reading, learning English as a second language involves the participation of both students as well as teachers in different circumstances (Gibbons, 2012, p. 30). This is because of the fact that learning is a collaborative activity that requires the active participation of primary stakeholders. In this case, teachers and students are the primary stakeholders. I have had practical experiences whereby I am unable to use a second language in different contexts. I always feel comfortable making conversations with familiar ...

Books are a great way of sharing valuable information to others. They are important because they are the main source of information that provides overview on historical events that occurred in the past, records what is happening in present times, and helps give people insights about the future. Thus, when given a choice to choose among various alternatives on how to share bits of knowledge, books are the best option among available media. Books contain information that enables man to make informed decisions as it nourishes the brain to probe and analyze deeper and expands one’s imagination and knowledge. ...

E-BOOK VERSUS P-BOOK

The financial page of the New Yorker has played the role of bringing to the table a very interesting article by writer James Surowiecki. This particular article appeared on the 29th of July 2013. The article plays host to a very interesting argument on an emergent and indeed very contentious issue. The article addresses the battle for supremacy between the new digital e book system and the traditional physical book system. According to the author the old traditional book seems to be doing well and holding its ground in the face of such new and more convenient information. The author ...

The poem Amazing Grace by John Newton happens to be one of the most famous poems ever known in the world. It is recited in many forms one of it being in song. Amazingly many people know it as a song and not as a poem. Apparently it is sung or recited in religious circles thereby playing a very important role in worship and therefore has affected the lives of very many people. The poem itself is very interesting and engaging when it is looked at from the literary point of view as the elements that make it amazing include its image, ...

Job Stress and Job Stress Interventions

Job Stress and Job Stress Interventions 1. The most important idea of Part Eight was the role of the lack of control in causing job stress and the resulting possible ways of combatting that issue. In particular, the experiment described where just the mere presence of an on-off switch for distracting noise resulted in significantly better concentration and performance, even when the subject did not actually use the switch to stop the noise, was very interesting. The reading describes three approaches to combatting stress labeled primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. Primary intervention aims to remove fundamental environmental causes ...

Action Assignment 2 – Visioning

1. The most important idea that I learned in Part Two was that having a vision for a company involves specific process, content, and application principles. This idea was a relative surprise to me given the rather abstract and ideal impression the word “visioning” had upon me initially. It was almost as if something termed “visioning” would not involve concrete process steps, particular content, and specific application approaches that could be followed to increase the chances of formulating and executing an effective vision. Before reading Part Two, I believed that visioning would have involved, somehow, inherent and inspiration driven processes that would ...

Introduction

World politics involve states and nations coming up together with organizations and agencies that cannot be understood independently. In order to understand world politics, we need to grasp the domestic structures that are defined by the ordering of principles. World politics are different and specific in functionality and capabilities and are distributed in the units. Nowadays, some political systems are aimed at giving commands while others obey the commands. World politics are created by some group of self-regarding political units in some period or scale such as empires, cities, and nations. World political systems are differentiated by nations or ...

Critical Summary for A Heroine's Choice

Judging the paper based on Marius’ crucial steps to writing a splendid essay as well as the proposed writing process that would distinguish an excellent paper out of a mass, the Heroine’s Choice is a well-written, well-organized paper that abides by what defines a paper of great value. In detail, the writer’s choice for their paper’s title is quite interesting and definitely prepares readers for what they are about to read. It could be a little bit catchier, though, in a way to create more enthusiasm and more eagerness to read further on. However, the writer gets straight to the point ...

In biology many experimental procedures utilize the scientific method. The scientific method is a sequence of defined steps that start from the earliest stages of the discovery of scientific phenomena to its explained conclusion. A key element in the use of scientific method in explaining scientific phenomena is to have a systematic way of analyzing problems and reporting results. There are several stages in the scientific method: question/problem presentation, background research of phenomena, hypothesis, experiment, results and conclusion. All these processes allow a scientist to gather measureable and empirical evidence to arrive at a sound conclusion which is backed up by scientific reason ( ...

Essay Review – Greed Viewed as Good

- The introductory paragraph of the essay comes across as sharp and factual that may be off-putting to some readers. The focus is also not on the topic itself but on supporting examples. The tone could have been less impersonal. - The thesis statement is clearly stated in the introduction though it appears in the middle of the paragraph. - There is no mention of the target audience by the end of the introduction. I believe that students and philosophers will take an active interest in the topic. Moreover, the topic can hold the attention of sociologists. ...

Becoming literate is one culmination of a very long and creative practice. This is done by responding to both the external and internal motivations. In this process skills that are new are acquired and then layered to the skills that are secure. Some of the skills that are acquired are terminated after they have done their duty of scaffolding new learning. According to Clay 1, some of the skills acquired remain dormant, and wait when they are required probably when reading and writing becomes challenging. The skills are intertwined organically and this aids in creating a firm base for decoding and ...

Response Paper - "Interaction Between Text and Reader"

In Wolfgang Iser's "Interaction Between Text and Reader," the author notes that the reading of a literary work is contingent entirely upon how the structure and its recipient interact with each other (Iser 1673). In essence, when reading a work of literature, the reader is providing just as much to the overall interpretation of the text as the author; it is an interactive experience that is not the same between readers. It is known as the phenomenological theory of art, as humans interpret what they see around them in different ways, and is the same with art. I found this to ...

Following The American Psychological Association’s Guidelines

Abstract The struggle of reading comprehension has been pervasive around the world for centuries; it is of no surprise how even current statistics illustrate how many adults have difficulty reading and comprehending the most basic literature. As well-intentioned as well-crafted learning models have been launched to bridge the gap between low and high comprehending participants, the root of the problem stems from repeated modeling to students of diverse generations. Although some learning models have proven to be useful, new or rebooted models are sometimes necessary for younger students understanding elements of vocabulary, fluency, and background knowledge for reading ...

Developmental Dyslexia: a diagnostic tool.

The diagnosis of developmental dyslexia is a long and convoluted journey, complicated by the various different theories concerning its development, causes and treatment. As a condition, it affects approximately between 10 to 20% of the population, with 4% being affected severely, and is generally perceived as being caused by abnormalities in visual and auditory processing. This, in turn, is what directly affects the sufferer’s ability to process words, numbers and have the occasional bought of poor co-ordination. Three key types of dyslexia are deep dyslexia, surface dyslexia, and pure alexia; these refer to the level of severity and specific difficulties. ...

Social Learning Theories

Social Learning Perspectives The term Social Learning Theory translates to different perspectives that can be broadly understood as behavioral approach that highlights the reciprocal interaction between environmental, behavioral and cognitive determinants. Such theories arose from Civil Rights movement and social reforms led by Lyndon Johnson during the 1960s. One example of many social learning theories is also named “Social Learning Theory” developed by Canadian psychologist Albert Bandura. The underlying principles in his theory pertains to vicarious learning phenomenon defined as the notion that people learn from observing others as compared to experiencing things themselves (Tracey & Morrow, 2012). Furthermore, ...

Critiquing Psycholinguistic and Sociolinguistic Theories

Psycholinguistics and Sociolinguistics Psycholinguistics - Psycholinguistic Theory Psycholinguistic theory falls under the general concept of Constructivism; it is regarded as the study of relationship between psychological process and linguistic behavior including the concept of language acquisition (Tracey & Morrow, 2012). The evidence from which the theory was based upon is the assumption that language is a primary process of reading. There are three major components of the theory that are also referred to as cues such as semantic, syntactic and Graphophonic. Syntactic refers to the pattern that dictates how the word combination constructs the sentences or otherwise the ...

How did behaviorism shape reading instruction?

Human beings portray different behavior characteristics in their relationship between different people. Behaviorism focuses on observable behavior changes and various theories, like those of Menatalism and Psychoanalytic, discusses about human behavior traits. Between 1900 and 1950, behaviorism changed the reading instructions because learning occurred through natural unfolding of mind, and according to individual’s interest. In addition, readers developed skills and experience on understanding various behaviorism theories as explained by Freud (Tracey, 2007). Behaviourism was used as a medium of learning during this era, between 1900 and 1950. Instructors mostly used the famous theories in delivering their learning objectives to ...

Constructivism and Psycholinguistic Theories

Constructivism and Psycholinguistic Theories

Constructivism can be assumed to have existed during the same period as the development of Behaviorism in the American educational system. It is a learning theory that involves an individual’s active construction of learning. Constructivism encompasses an integration of learning by combining the existing and new knowledge. However, according to theoretical perspectives, constructivism only occurs when the learner actively participates in the process. Furthermore, learning itself can be perceived as the by-product of an on-going natural state-of-mind and it is not something that can be stimulated or reinforced (Tracey & Morrow, 2012). Apart from the general ...

The cerebral cortex is the seat of mostly voluntary and conscious actions performed by the body. Reading is a complex activity that involves various parts of the brain to function both in consonance and in sequence to bring about the understanding that we require when we read.

The occipital lobe of the brain is heavily involved in the process of reading. The occipital lobe of the brain is located at the posterior aspect of the brain. Fibers from the optic nerve that sub serves the eyes terminate in the occipital cortex.

The temporoparietal and occipitotemporal cortical regions are also involved ...

Literature:

Reader-response theory, also referred to as reader-response criticism, generally refers to a category of literature theories that the reader at centre of interpreting and giving meaning to a piece of literature work (in this case poetry). The theory, emphases on the audience /reader’s reaction to a literature work than on the work itself. In fact, the theory suggests that the text (poem) cannot exist without the reader and thus cannot be interpreted and/ or understood in the absence of the reader’s reaction. As such, reader-response criticism renders literature a performing art with the reader as an active agent that gives the ...

Information Processing and Cognitive Theories 1950 - 1970

Information Processing and Cognitive Theories

The development and studies pertaining to information-processing and cognitive theories started to flourish between 1960s to 1970s, principles and theories prior to that period have shifted in terms of identifying how reading takes place. The perspectives of cognitive processing have provided a clear description that the underlying processes taking place in the human mind are inherited in the act of reading. The principles of cognitive processing framework are trying to explain that the unseen mind functions are engaged in more complicated mental activities. One of the models and theories such as information processing represents the ...

On reading The Girl in the Flammable Skirt, in each of the short stories, the one common moral and that is one of trauma interlocked with pittance. The story about a young girl who comes home to find her dad carrying a backpack which seems to resemble a bag made of stones is intriguing. In the ...

Let me begin by a confession that at the start of this module, I did not anticipate so much. As a matter of fact, I thought it will be straightforward. They say change is inevitable; like growing. You can’t do anything to change the inevitable, can you? On hindsight, I now look at my initial disinterest with a lot of dismay. I was on the brink of missing out on one of the most significant aspects of an organization’s survival. I am now aware that change is actually an optimization process in the quest for an ideal state. On a professional ...

Introduction

Literary critical theory is a complicated process - there are many different ways from which one can look at a story. The question remains, however, whether or not these readings are valid. Is the process of literary criticism a means of mental gymnastics, where theorists can force a reading into a text like a child pushing a square peg in a round hole? Looking at the various theorists who make up the most prominently observed members of the literary critical canon, it becomes clear that the act of reading itself is an interactive one, with the reader bringing just as much into the experience of reading as ...

The Scientists had contended that polar bear’s existence was threatened because of widespread melting of ice, a vital part of the natural habitat of the bear, due to global warming. The Polar Bear has thus become the first animal to be declared “threatened” due to global warming under the “Endangered Species” Act. But why should anyone have any objections ...

The availability or non-availability of the clinical history affects the diagnosis of radiological ...

Jane Jacob wrote the book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities in 1961 at a time when most of the American cities were overwhelmed with immense development projects. The book provides Jacob’s opinion on what makes these cities work as well as a critique of modern planning theory. This book can be considered to bear dual significance. While on one end the book is specific in offering critique of the urban planning, it is general since it lies in the degree to which Jacob calls into question the concepts of central planning and bureaucratic expertise concepts. Specifically on ...

Because written texts and TV series are meant to satisfy the target audience, the bottom-line of scenic details is to pass the messages to the ...

Morphology

The word “morphology originated from the Greek words ‘morph’, meaning from, and ‘-ology’, which means study. It literally means the study of forms. It is used in both linguistics and other scientific disciplines, but this paper focuses on its use in linguistics (Fudeman, 2011). It has proved to be a very important area in linguistics that it is not only a basis of linguistics study, but also as a branch of linguistics. A German linguist August Schleicher first brought it to light in mid-19thcentury, and its development since then has given meaning to the internal structuring of words. In simple terms, ...

While reading a short story, the imaginative language used by the author helps transport the reader into another world created by the author. In this case, a short story presents an experience that the author puts down which brings an imaginary world to life. On the other hand, when it comes to drama and poetry, the reader becomes part and parcel of the experience as they participate in the bringing to live of the written work. This is possible because the characters in the drama or poetry are brought o life by the audience as they take part in the reading, ...

Information Processing and Cognitive Theories 1989 to Present

Information Processing and Cognitive Theories 1989 to Present

Although there are several different views about cognitive psychology, a few general principles exist that most of the cognitive theorists could agree with. First is the principle derived from the assumption of a limited capacity of our mental system, which means that the amount of information that the mental system can process is constrained in myriad ways. At a very specific point of the mental process, the flow of information is restricted in a bottleneck manner. The second principle involves a requirement of control mechanism to accommodate storage, processing, transformation, encoding, utilization and retrieval. Meaning, the ...

A common quote goes “Education is the key to success” which holds true. Currently, more emphasis is being placed on strategies and methods that enhance the impact of comprehensive knowledge to students. Recent research has shown that students lack the coherent and critical skills needed to take education seriously.

He further went on to state that the true goal of education is to build students with intelligence and character. Dr. King meant that giving students advice and problems that would ...

Marwan’s main argument is that the Star Academy presented as a controversial show among the Saudi Arabian community because it challenged the Saudi’s culture and religious foundation of the community’s social order by encouraging women’s agency and promoting the ideas of cultural hybridity while individuating authenticity.

In some extent, these ideas clashed directly with the customs and norms promoted in the Saudi tradition. Accordingly, the author argues that the custodians of the Saudi culture viewed the ...

Capital, as specified by Tandoc (2014, p. 562), comes in four main forms under field theory: economic, cultural, social and symbolic. Economic capital pertains to money-convertible assets and is typically regarded in journalism in the form of the audience, revenues in advertising and rates of news circulation. Cultural capital stands for the “possession of competence in a socially valued area” (Tandoc, 2014, p. 562), which is justified by mechanisms ...
