  6. In Text Citations At the beginning of the year, I would expect that she would be organizing her classroom and decorating it and I would offer to help her in any of these areas. It’s important for the teacher to organize the physical classroom, have a plan for student behavior and plan for the class rules and procedures (Cooper, 2004). I would want her to know that I particularly enjoy doing artwork and that before I was a para, I worked in an office and have very good computer skills and am comfortable around technology.

  10. Post-Draft Outlining (for Discussion Question) • Do on First Half Draft (from Unit 6) • Write one sentence for each paragraph in your paper • Identify what part of the paper each sentence is from (Intro, Disc. #1, Disc. #2, Conclusion) • Note organization, repetition, logical flow, points not made, sentences that are irrelevant, etc.

  11. Create 1 sentence for each paragraph You will have a million questions running through your mind, and your emotions will be up and down like a roller coaster. How could you not have questions and concerns about such a drastic decision that can change your life? What is this decision that could change things for you? If you are a person who suffers from obesity, having gastric bypass surgery could be a decision that will change your life and who you are. Gastric bypass is a technology that gives obese people a tool to reconstruct their lives by taking away hunger and making it uncomfortable to overeat. This technology could help me lose the weight that I have been struggling with for years. The two most common procedures are the Roux-en-Y (RYGB) and the Adjustable Gastric Banding (LAGB) (Sansone, McDonald, Wiederman, & Ferreira, 2005) Sample final project (Gastric Bypass Surgery by K. Wirzburger) • What’s a summarizing sentence for this paragraph?

  12. Example of a Post-Draft Outline 1. Gastric bypass surgery is not to be taken lightly, but it can be a tool that can help people who have struggled with obesity for a long time finally lose the weight. 2. Gastric bypass is an important technology because obesity affects so many people and can have such devastating consequences. 3. Body-mass index (BMI) is used to identify obesity and what type of obesity one has. 4. Gastric bypass surgery is becoming more prevalent in society, but it is recommended for only people under certain conditions. 5. Technology has enhanced gastric bypass surgery in recent years and it can now be done through laparoscopy. 6. .....

  16. Sample Conclusion on Assistive Technology It is incredible how much we take for granted. With a lot of hard work and the use of assistive technology all special need students can be taught to learn in many areas of life and contribute to the community they live in or out of. In the words of my daughter, Nicole, “I cannot believe how much this journey and my son have taught me. I feel as though I have learned so much and benefited greatly myself being educated by this beautiful boy.” There will be more challenges for Phoenix in his life, but with constant work and love from his family he will succeed.

  17. Sample Conclusion—Video Games So we have seen that video games are expensive and can promote bad behavior, but with the right use can also promote communication and networking skills, as well as be educational for young children and adults. If we have seen all of the changes just in the past decade such as ‘Tennis for Two’ to Xbox Live, and Atari to the all Nintendo DS’s floating around, then it is impossible to think of what they will come up with next. I can imagine more of an online hand held gaming console or maybe more virtual reality games beyond the capacity of Wii. The video gaming industry has many ways to pleasing and giving their consumers what they want. What is it that you would want them to be able to create and make happen? Technology and our imaginations can take to whole new other levels and do not stop there.

  18. Conclusion—Political Blogs In conclusion, I believe that the future of our democracy is timed into our future ability to expand venues like blogging from their currently narrow demographics to the greater population. This means increasing participation in our communities of women and minorities and people of lower economic status. Political blogs have been focused on the account to balance two perceived media bias both by the left and by the right and as long as individuals feel that they have an opportunity to participate in the process by typing, by writing, and by commenting, we can look forward to exciting developments in technology and politics.

  19. More Conclusion Examples Because of mounting public awareness of the dangers of drivers distracted by phones, state legislators must begin to take the problem seriously. “It’s definitely an issue that is gaining steam around the country,” says Matt Sundeen of the National Conference of State Legislatures (qtd. in Layton C9). Lon Anderson of the American Automobile Association agrees: “There is momentum building,” he says, to pass laws (qtd. in Layton C9). The time has come for states to adopt legislation restricting the use of cell phones in moving vehicles. A Call to Action: Regulate Use of Cell Phones on the Road by Angela Daly.

  20. Another Example-Conclusion Whether a tutor decides to act as an ADD coach or in some other role, it can be a challenge to find the best way to work with college students who have AD(H)D. The more tutors learn about AD(H)D, and the better they understand this condition, the easier it can become to work with students with AD(H)D. It is especially important for tutors to remember that both men and women can have AD(H)D, and also that not all people with AD(H)D are hyperactive. Tutors can do a better job of working with students who have AD(H)D if they learn the many different things that teachers, parents, and professionals do to help them, and if they learn how people with AD(H)D help themselves.

  21. One More Poverty should not be an excuse for us to expect less from our students. They indeed come to us with numerous issues and challenges that interfere with their learning. We need to focus on their learning, find ways to help them overcome these challenges and gain the most they can from their education. Their education is likely their one chance to break the poverty cycle and escape. Just because they are poor doesn’t mean they cannot succeed. It is actually one of the best reasons for them to succeed.
