Eng015- Fall 2018

Tons of different textual genres are out there, but childrens books stand out to me because I think it’s unique that they can connect with kids so much and even help them begin their reading journey. Take Dr.Suess books for example; Dr, Suess has a genre of attracting kids attentions to the books because of their vibrant colors. Mostly all little kids gets distracted by “shiny things” or bright colors, so when they see Dr. Suess books infront of them it may not be as scary as a book that’s just strickly a “boring” color. All of Dr. Suess books also use common words, sometimes he even makes up his own words. When children do not understand, it turns them away because they dont want to take the time to learn what that word means. Dr. Suess’s main genre is rhyming these common, small words and I think that that attracts children the most. Each and everyone of his books has a way of relating to children.

Annotating “teaching thinking” Juliet Ferro When I am annotating, I make sure that I read it all first and look for the most important things in the paragraphs. Once I am done highlighting and reading through the whole paper, I go back to the highlights and I write little side notes that maybe I agreed with it or I have a question about it, or maybe I stated why I thought it was important. I usually star things when I find it really interesting so that I can go back to it. I put question marks next to statements that may confuse me or I have more questions about it.

Other people often highlight key words, and not the whole sentence. I feel as if that may not help me understand the full concept, so I would just rather highligh...

Hi, I’m  Juliet, and i’m from Quakertown. I was born in Holland but I have moved twice since then. I have an older sister, who is 6 years older than me, but there is seriously no real age difference because we are so close. She is 6 months pregnant and when she has her baby, I will be a godmother and an aunt. I’m really excited about that because I love kids and I am also really good with them. I’m majoring in Education to hopefully become a highschool english teacher one day. Some of my favorite things (besides my family and friends) are definitely Christmas, cars and animals. My dad restores and builds mopars, so I have been around cars and going to carshows since I was first born. Im really thankful for that because as I grew up, I found out that I also have a love for cars and know a lot about them. I’m also a very big animal lover. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats at the moment. If you ever hear about those people that can’t walk down the street without petting every single dog they s...
