Irvine English Tutor 4 Tips to Study for a Reading Final

Irvine English Tutor 4 Tips to Study for a Reading Final Tips from an Irvine English Tutor: 4 Tips to Study for a Reading Final Students in all grade levels are likely to have a reading element as part of their English final exam. Its important for students to be able to remember the various elements of the novels they are to be tested on, especially if they need to write an essay or response as part of their examination process. Unfortunately, because students study so many things simultaneously, they may not remember a book they read earlier in the semester. Additionally, if a student wasnt interested in the particular novel but was only reading it for academic purposes; they may not have fully comprehended the various aspects of character development. One of the best ways for a reader to relate to characters is to find something in common with them. However, many historical characters dont have obvious common elements with todays students. Nonetheless, there are still plenty of ways students can remember plot line and character development so they can ace those finals score high on your reading final with the help of a private Irvine tutor from TutorNerds. 1. Start with one or the other Attempting to study character development, setting, plot, and details of a novel simultaneously can become seriously overwhelming. Its better if students start with either plot or the main characters. Many students start out studying two or three important characters so they can see how they interact when they review the plot later on. Learning about the protagonist or antagonist first can be extremely helpful and once a student has a handle on this they can see how these characters move through the story. If the setting is an important part of character development, students can also see how characters react to various parts of the setting. 2. Simplify the storyline Some novels are written in a linear format, meaning that something happens first, second, third and so on. These are the simplest types of novels to comprehend. Students in middle and high school will also be asked to deal with complicated plot lines that either deal with flashbacks, merging storylines, multiple narrators, or twists and turns. Although these types of novels can be more interesting in many ways, they’re also more difficult to review. If necessary, students are encouraged to create a simplified plot summary as part of their study guide so they can remember what happened in each chapter of the story. After students have conquered this element, they can go back and study the most complicated flashbacks or twists. 3. How do the characters react to one another? Another great way for students to remember important parts of character development is to summarize how different characters relate to each other. Its important to know how the protagonist reacts to the antagonist, how they relate to secondary characters, and how they react to plot elements or the setting. Students can even create a character tree, just like a family tree, where they discover who is related, who gets along, who the nemesis is, and so on. Depending on a students preferred learning style they can either write a paragraph summary or create an actual visual character tree (READ: Decoding Literature: Plain English Please). 4. Pick out important elements of the plot It’s also a good idea for students to figure out which elements of a plot are crucial and which simply move the story forward. For instance, if a natural disaster changes the lives of many characters then this particular chapter should receive a heavier focus. If a character is in conflict and needs to make an important decision, something in the plot might change as a result. If students are having difficulty picking out important elements of the plot they can speak with their classroom teacher, tutor, or refer to the many great online study tools available.

GCSE Reform 2015

GCSE Reform 2015 http://tinyurl.com/o6lm44l Out with the old and in with the new. From September 2015 new GCSEs will be taught in schools and colleges across England. Year 9 students who will be making their GCSE choices this year, will unearth a change to the mandatory subjects; English Language, English Literature, and Maths. With GCSE starters seeing a change to all subjects by September 2019. The maths GCSE will be more 'challenging' with emphasis on problem solving. It will be assessed wholly by exam, so the option of coursework to secure partial marks is no more. This could add an increased stress and pressure to students who do not perform well under examination. English Language GCSE will remain compulsory, with 20% of the final mark focussing purely on punctuation and grammar. Secondary school students will now have a choice in partaking in the English Literature GCSE, as this is no longer a compulsory subject. Unusually, grading will now be used on a scale of 9-1 opposed to A*-F. Assessment will be mainly by exam with the choice of only 2 tiers; Foundation and Higher. With GCSEs looking tougher than ever, it's time to study hard and boost your exam grades.

Adderall--this motivation drug is dangerous

Adderall--this 'motivation' drug is dangerous Brain scans show how Adderall can improve activityCredit: http://gameofroles.files.wordpress.com/ With finals just around the corner, students have even more to worry about: their final grades. And most majors require students to maintain a certain GPA to stay in their major, so its no wonder they will do anything to get ahead of the game. And that usually means through abusing stimulants, the infamous one being Adderall. Teens.drugabuse.org has a fact sheet on the most common stimulants (besides Adderall), including: Ridalin, Concentra and Dexedrine.  It has a list of questions, such as What negative effects can be associated with stimulant abuse? and How do prescription stimulants affect the brain? It lists answers to these  and many more questions. The appeal Why is Adderall so addictive? Scientists say that it produces a euphoria, similar to a high produced from drugs such as Cocaine. Mixing alcohol and Adderall is a dangerous combinationCredit: http://www.addictiontreatmentmagazine.com/ In addition, numerous stories featured from news sources, such as The Lantern at Ohio State, anonymous college students speak about how they use this blue pill for maintaining high energy during long periods of drinking. However, mixing alcohol and Adderall is a terrible decision. According to The Office of Drug and Alcohol Education at the University of Notre Dame, the stimulant  can cause students to prolong use resulting in consuming unhealthy amounts of alcohol which has led to cases of alcohol poisoning. The warning signs that ones body provides when drinking to tell them theyve had too much essentially shut off. This is what leads to the alcohol poisoning mentioned above. Dangerous side effects According to drugs.com, Adderall is so powerful, it warns that using this medication improperly can cause death or serious side effects on the heart. Hotlines are useful if you need to speak to someone about drug dependencyCredit: http://freeaddictionhotline.com/ In addition, Livestrong.com reports that there are other serious ailments that can occur; such as contracting a urinary tract infection, developing anorexia and experiencing psychosis, a health condition which can cause depression, hostility, feelings of uselessness and paranoia. If you find yourself becoming drug dependent, dont  hesitate  to call the Treatment Referral Helpline (1-800-662-HELP), The Free Addiction hotline (877-259-5634),  or talk to a trusted friend or family member. Remember, these people are tying to help you, not judge you. So listen to what they have to say. Youll thank yourself later for it.

Teach Away Telegram - December 2014

Teach Away Telegram - December 2014 Keys to a successful in-person interviewAs teacher hiring season kicks off and in-person interviews are being scheduled this month and next, we thought we’d share with you some tips to make a great impression when you sit down with school principals and school officials for your interview.First thing’s first: you should really take some time to put some thought into your outfit for the day and make sure you’re dressed professionally. First impressions matter and this is an easy thing to manage.Bringing along a teaching portfolio with sample lesson plans and examples of student work to share with your interviewers is a great idea. This can show them a lot about your background and your philosophies on education. For each question that is asked, you may have some physical evidence to support your questions if you bring along a portfolio.This ties into tip number three: be prepared to talk about everything that relates to you and your teaching experience. You’ll want to prepare examples because this will be the focus of the interview. On preparation, interviewers will spot a teacher who is under-prepared for their interview in no time. Practice the basic questions: almost every interview opens up with the ‘tell us a little about yourself’ question, so think about how you could answer this well.And while you’re answering these questions, remember tip four: body language is important. Smile when you greet your interviewers. Try not to fidget in your seat while thinking of how to answer each question. Sit up straight to let your interviewers know that you’re interested in what they’re asking. The more relaxed you are, the smoother the whole interview will go.Finally, to stand out above the rest of the candidates, we have tip five: do your research. This means that you should know a thing or two about the school or the group of institutions that you’re interviewing for (a good place to start would be reading a bit about their educational philosophy on their websites). Preparing good, strong questions to ask in case you are asked whether you have any at the interview can also be a way to show that you’ve thought carefully about the interview well in advance and you’re interested in the position itself.City spotlight: Cairo, EgyptCairo, the capital city of Egypt, is known for its world famous historic sites. For one of the oldest civilizations in the world, Egypt sure has maintained a great deal of mystique. Located on the Nile River, Cairo is world-renowned for its ancient origins and historical sites, namely the Giza Pyramids and the Sphinx. And though Cairo is proud of and still attached to its past, a very modern society has since emerged. Many teachers are surprised to learn that Cairo is also known to have one of the best nightlife scenes in the world.As the largest city in the Middle East and among the largest in the world, there’s an unending list of things to explore in Cairo. This amount of stimulation can be ov erwhelming for teachers who’ve never lived in a bigger city before, but it just takes a little time to carve out your own small niche in this megapolis.A weekend in Cairo can be spent taking a stroll down the Nile promenade, browsing the medieval markets by Khan El-Khalili, or seeing a movie at a local cinema. For history buffs, the Egyptian Museum of Antiquities (also known as the Cairo Museum) is a great spot to catch a glimpse of ancient Egyptian civilization, with more than 120,000 items on display. Surprisingly, the Great Pyramids of Giza are also accessible by public transportation and with a short ride from Metro Line 2, you can get a look at the only remaining Ancient Wonder of the World.For those looking to escape extreme weather conditions, Cairo is known to be pretty moderate with low humidity year round. Summer temperatures can soar to 36 °C, but with such low humidity the days are bearable. Winter months can be much more pleasant with a typical temperature range of 15 °C - 21 °C.With a population of around 17 million people, Cairo may overwhelm some. But those interested in finding their own path in a bustling city can carve out a piece of Cairo that’s all their own. You’ll find that locals have a great spirit with plenty of charm and a unique sense of humor.And since the 2011 revolution, there’s been a serious drop in tourism in Egypt. For travelers who have always dreamed of seeing Cairo’s ancient pyramids and cultural treasures but have dreaded the flocks of tourists, the time to visit is now. Being alone inside a pyramid is now more than just a dream.Anyone considering an extended stay for a contract will find all the things that interest typical tourists, but enough of the home comforts (big shopping districts, beautiful gardens to stroll around in, and a wide variety of restaurants) to make it a very livable city.Gradebook ProTeachers looking for new ways to manage administrative tasks like tracking student grades, attendance, and performance, while reducing paper usage can try GradeBook Pro, an educational management app available for tablets or smartphones.Grading assignments is a lot of work, especially when you have several classrooms of 20 or more students. GradeBook Pro helps eliminate some of the stress involved with marking and tracking your students’ assignments, not to mention the amount of filing required to keep all your students’ grades and attendance straight. When tracking individual grades, teachers can customize the grade scale by which they will measure their students, categorize assignments and review grades divided by category, award and deduct points to each student, exempt a certain assignment from cumulative grading, view student averages, and record notes for each individual grade. But the functionality doesn’t stop there. To help with attendance tracking, GradeBook allows teachers to record classroom presence, flag specific absenteeisms or tardiness, assign attendance grades to each student, and much more.Teachers can even email grades, attendance, or status reports to parents and create and save PDF reports of class grades, rosters, and attendance records.To get the app, visit the GradeBook Pro website.

Tips For Using Online Math Tutoring For the 9th Grade

Tips For Using Online Math Tutoring For the 9th GradeOften times students find that they are not able to make good grades due to the lack of time needed for a lot of math and reading material, and then they turn to online math and science tutoring for help. There are a number of different methods that an instructor can use in order to get their students interested in taking that much needed extra math class or even physics that they would have otherwise opted out of in order to avoid the stress of trying to figure everything out on their own.The key to any successful math course is to ensure that the student is able to retain as much information as possible while in grade level. You can do this by having them learn in multiple formats, from online video tutorials, to a textbook, and then finally to homework assignments.It is possible to find ways to actually download videos to a person's computer that show step by step process to solve math problems. These videos are typically produc ed by different universities and schools, which has been developed to give students a complete grasp of the subject. This type of homework is a great way to go about making sure that the student is able to absorb all of the information that they need to, especially when dealing with more advanced topics.However, if you think that your child is going to struggle with learning at a grade level, there are some websites which are designed to be able to review anything that is taken at any grade level. While it is possible to do that yourself, many teachers and professors still prefer using these types of resources. These are the only places that can make use of thousands of free math lessons online, which students can read and take notes on at their own pace.If you are looking for a way to help your child learn to do well at school, an online tutor is something that can be a life saver. Your child will be able to use the Internet to simply log onto their own computer, make use of the in structional website, and then get additional help from the online tutor who is able to answer their questions with great patience. They will be able to look up videos and other assignments at their leisure, and they will also be able to track their progress through some easy to follow guides.At times you may need to assess the student's abilities and how much of a math education they are truly prepared for. Some people may be afraid to think that they may not be as good at math as their peers, but you must remember that everybody is different. A standardized test that was previously taken will never give you an accurate measurement of how good a student is at math, and that is why it is important to have the right tools available so that you can make the best possible decision when it comes to selecting your student's grade level.Make sure that you take the time to see if there are any online math tutoring services which are offered, or any sites which are related to that. You will need to ensure that your child does not miss out on any of the best math courses that they can learn from, and that they are able to get some great lessons which they can use on a regular basis.
