Blog Post #4 -- CCSS for speaking and listening at  http://www.corestandards.org/ELA-Literacy/  and  NES text pages 130-135 Rhetoric is an interesting concept in general. It sort of strikes me as a process of presenting information in a certain way in order to receive a specific response. In other words, coaxing your audience to agree with you. I see this a lot in modern society, and I don't think it's inherently good or bad in nature. When it comes to public speaking I am personally quite gifted (when in a proper mood). However, I've heard somewhere  that the typical human thinks at around 1400 words per minute, and speaks at around 400. Something in my brain prevents me from choosing the right wording, so I try to prepare my speech ahead of time to avoid this issue.  A degree of comfort is essential to the environment around the speaker and the listener. The reading focuses on the speaker and listener a lot, but I'm personally more concerned with the environ...

Reading Journal 2

Grant Wengeler Dr. Torgensen  1/29/2020 Reading Journal #2 On Harriet Martineau’s Illustrations of Political Economy including Demerara This work as a whole was quite a daunting amount of reading and the sheer amount led me into immediate panic.

EDUC 303 Journal 2

1.    On a personal level (for example, as a student - in my case, as a parent) how do you feel about standards? 2.  As a future teacher, how do you view content learning standards? 3.  What did you learn about deconstructing standards and how confident are you about being able to do so? Answers: I'm not a parent, or a teacher (yet). As a student I recognize now how the common core state standards have shaped my education and I'm honestly thankful for it. I was always held to a certain standard to ensure my continued academic development. I think it's important to have such standard in order to make sure that every student is given the same opportunity for good education. Otherwise, we'd end up with students in some areas being less educated than those in others, and that can lead to issues.  As a future teacher I read these standards under the guise of "what will be expected" when I'm on the job. I'm committed to fulfilling these standards...
