Qoute ,Paraphrase, and Summary

QUOTE:

“I explained to her that I believe we need to be moving away from the tired, old model of teach-centered history instruction centered on data acquisition and rather toward a model that encourages kids to do something interesting and meaningful.”  

PARAPHRASE:    

Teachers should consider guiding their self’s away form worn-out teaching to more advanced teaching. They figure that this way will grab student’s interest and focus better in school during their learning. They also think that this will be a more purposeful way for a student to consider information that will stick with them while enjoying the process.

SUMMARY:

This article written by Nathan Barber is about how teachers are thinking about more a more interest way in teaching their students. They think they should start teaching the more advance way and stop teaching the old fashion way that they use to teach their students. They also think if they teach this way than what they teach might grad the students’ interest in the lesson and they might find this to be a good way of teaching. If they start teaching in this manner hopefully they would see a brighter future and the dropout rate numbers will turn in a positive direction.

Qoute #4

QUOTE:

“U.S. teenagers are making little headway when it comes to financial literacy, a survey out Wednesday shows.” …“Financial literacy is still a very significant problem. It doesn't seem to be getting any better,”

PARAPHRASE:

Teenagers are improving a little when it comes to financial things in life. This is still a major conflict that needs to be address for a better future for everyone. Although this conflict needs some attention it does not seem to be showing any progress.

SUMMARY:

In the quote stated by Barbara Hagenbaugh, is about how teenagers fail when it come to financial things in life.  This is a huge problem in today’s society and teens are just getting in debt because of this reason. The rise of this success is raising a little but this problem needs addressing. When a survey on investing and managing personal finances was giving to today’s high school seniors the results back on the survey were disappointing.  This conflict needs addressing as soon as possible or this will be the future of what we learned.

Quote,Paraphrase,Summary

THE QUOTE:

“Some recent research shows that many students do poorly on assignments or in participation because they do not understand what to do or why they should do it. Teachers should spend more time explaining why we teach what we do, and why the topic or approach or activity is important and interesting and worthwhile.”   

Paraphrase response:

 In my quote stated by Robert Harris, it explains how information found online  proves that students does not give their best effort on their work in school because they do not comprehend . It is not that they are remedial, but the work may be confusing to them; they figure that the work is a waste of time to complete. Teachers should prolong more time on the subjects that they teach and letting it be known that what they teach can some how help them for the good.  

SUMMARY:

In my article titled "Some Ideas for Motivating Students" by Robert Harris, is about informing teachers in different things they can do to help their students be successful in their at school. It tells some ways students can learn better like for an example teachers going back over their work making sure that everyone understands it and explain the topic to the students more than one time. This article is a good article for teachers to look at so that they can get a more formed mind on tips of how students learn. Students need an education so that they can be the best they can be and we need teachers help to purse this command.

Quote, Paraphrase, and citation

The Quote:

“Every school day, more than 7,200 students fall through the cracks of America's public high schools. Three out of every 10 members of this year’s graduating class, 1.3 million students in all, will fail to graduate with a diploma.”    

Paraphrase response:

My quote sated that 1.3 million students in all will not graduate which means their future is not looking good. Even though the graduating classes may start off with a large number at first, by the end of that senior year the numbers will decrease. Many students who makes it to the high school does not al ways get out because of so many they face in school. We need to make a change, so that the numbers can proceed in the opposite direction.

Summary:

In my article titled “Graduation Rate Continues Decline” by Christopher B.Swanson, is about how the dropout rate continues rise. Students are dropping out by the million and by the groups, which is good at all. The percents to these numbers are getting unbearable and there needs to be a change.  Their future is not looking good for these dropouts’ teens that is not receiving their diplomas and wanting to graduate. Their decision is not only affecting them, their decision is also hurting the economy as well. These numbers of dropouts rates needs to take a turn for the better because students just doesn’t no how important it is to have an education and how far can take you in the long run.

Qoute, Paraphrase, and citation

The Quote:
“My 17-year-old son hates school. He has the ability to do better. How can I help him see that he needs to get serious about his education before it is too late…?
“Students who succeed are motivated either internally or externally to do a good job because they see school as a way to maximize the options open to them after graduation.”

Paraphrase response:
The quote sated that a seventeen year old boy who despise school and doesn’t care about his future because they are not pushed or encouraged to do well. Teens should be pushed in a positive path, so that he can brighter their future for the greater good. He need to become involved with their work so they can see the outcome of their future. He needs to be helped, pushed positively and encouraged so that their perspective will change before it’s too late to change their mind.

Summary:
Motivation to teens is very important, and they need it in their lives to be the best they can be. In my article “Teenagers Who School” by Peggy Gisler and Marge Eberts, was about this seventeen year old boy who is not inspired at all about school. His mother knows that he has the potential to do well, but she doesn’t no why he don’t want to do well in school. His mother wants the best for him, but he just is not motivated at all. In the article it states a statistic and it reads students that are motivated tend to do better in school. They are motivated because they tend to see school as a path to a brighter future and great success.
