We need to get together smetime thursday the 25 so that we can began to organize all this information together.

Hey, Historian Mustangs this is your classmate from ETECH 424. Hey , I looked on the syllubus for our class and I think that this group research paper is due this Friday before 1 pm according to the ETECH 424 syllubus. I think that we should get together tommorrow you know the four of us or the one's that were at class on wednesday at least and share our ideas and confirm what we are going to use. I have also done some research on a sonnet that William Shakespeare did called " The Phoenix and the Turtle I read a little bit about it but I wasn't able to understand the big picture about the hidden message behind the lirterature that Shakespeare uses in it, but according to what I did read I think that " THe Phoenix and the Turtle" will be the absolute solution to have musical or poetic illustration for Sheena the music major thatis in our group. I would like it if we all could get together tommorrow because I would like Sheena to read "The Phoenix and the Turtle" and see what her response would be please either e-mail me at jmiller10@leo.tamu-commerce.edu or by leaving me a commit from this message that I am fixin to post on my blog responding to this message either tonight or tommorow which is thursday before 10:30 A.M or after 4:00 p.m. Thank yall and have a good night I really need to study for an astronomy exam tommorow afternoon. Be careful and have ggod night.

Group C evaluation about birht and death and life and influence to theatre of Shakespeare#21

Hey group C colleagues. I just wanted to give yall some info of William Shakespeare that I have just came up with. Please either e-mail me at jmiller10@leo.tamu-commerce.edu or leave your resonse on your blog sheet for me to read to see whether yall beleive that we can use the feedback that I have came up with. Also e-mail me or leave on yalls blog tellingme what yall found so that I can see where we a are at. I was reading on the syllubus that this group research is due on FridAY I believe before 1 pm according to the syllubus. but check with CK just to make for sure. aNYWAY THIS IS WHAT i HAVE CAME UP WITH. I love reflecting back on theatre history stuff!!!



William Shakespeare was born in Stratford -On Avon, Warwickshire, on April 23, 1564. There is little his early life. WE know from paris hrecords that he married Ann Hathaway in 1582 when he was 18 and she was 26. They had three children , the eldest of whom died in childhood. There was a 10 year gap after that that we don't know about. He could have became a member of a traveling company of actors.

By 1592 he settled in London andhad earned a reputation as an actor and playwright. Just when theatres were in their infancy. The first theatre called ( The Theatre) was built in 1576. Two more followed as the taste grew: THe Curtain in 1577 and " The Rose in 1587.

Shakespeare probaly adapted to old plays and working in collaboration with others on new plays. In 1594 a new company of actors, The Lord Chamberlain's Men, was formed , and Shakespeare was one of the shareholders and continued to be a member throughout the rest of his life. THe company regrouped in 1603 and was renamed " THe King's Men, with James I as its patron.

SHakespeare and his fellow actors prospered. In 1598 they built thier own theatre. The Globe which broke away from traditional rectangular shape of the inn and its yard ( the early home of traveling bands of actors) Shakespeare described it in Henry V ( the 4th) as "this Wooden O," because it was circular.

After writing some 37 plays ( the exact number is something which scholars argue about) Shakespeare retired to his native Stratford wealthy and respected. He died on his birthday in 1616.

Shakespeare plays were not all published in his lifetime. None of them came to us exactly as he wrote it. In Elizabethian times plays were not regarded as either literature or good reading matter. tHEY WERE WRITTEN AT Speed ( often by more than one writer), performed perhaps ten or 12 times and then regarded

The first playhouse built as such in elizabethian London, constructed in 1576, was The theatre. Its co-founders were John Brayne, an investor, and James Burbage, a carpenter turned into an acto. Like the six or seven "public" ( or outdoor) theatres which followed it over the next thirty years, it was situated outside the city, to avoid conflict with the authorities. They disapproved of the players and playgoing, partly on moral and political grounds, and partly because of the danger of spreading the plague. ( There were two major epidemics during Shakespeare's lifetime, and on each occassion the theatres were closed for lengthy periods.)

(THe Theatre) was a finacial success, and Shakespeare's company performed there until 1598, when a dispute over the lease of the land forced Burbage to take down the building. It wasre-created in Southwark, as (the Globe) , with Shakespeare's and several of his fellow actors as the principal shareholders.

His Verse

Shakespeare wrote his plays on blank verse: that is unrymed lines consisting of ten syllables, alternately stressed and unstressed. The technical term for thisd form is the iambic pentameter. When Shakespeare first began to write for the stage, it was fashionable to maintain this regular beat from the first line of the play till the last.
Shakespeare conformed at the first and then experimented. Some of his early plays contain whole scenes in ryming couplets in Romeo and Juliet, for example, there is extensive inserts a sonnet into the dialogue.

Shakespeare's play "Othello"

Although narrow in scope, with its intimate demestic setting is widely regarded as the most moving and the most printed of shakespeare's great tragedies. The fall of a proud, dignified man, the murder of a general, loving woman and the unreasoning hatred of a "motiveless" villian all have evoked fear and pity in audiences throughout centuries. Othello possesses a power that is perhaps more immediate and strongly felt for operating on the peronal, human plane. It is highly consentrated, tightly constructed tragedies with no subplots and little humor to releive the tension. He adopted the play from 16 century Italian Dramatist and novelist Giraldi Cinthio's Gli Hecatomicomithi,. He directly developed Iagoe's schemes and Othello's escalating fears.




Questions about wiki week 5 assignment.

1. I think that Wiki is a great way to learn about any given subject that you want to learn about, bjecause Wiki gives a variety of information about the description the topic that you searched. Anyone can use wiki it is such a good source to find information about a given topic. I would highly encourage my students to use wiki as search ingine to find information. Wiki is a great source to use when one is woking on a research papper.



2. Yes, I do believe that by conversing into the learning communities the technology that Wiki has to offer can enhance one's learning ability more effectively than the traditional instruction. My personal veiw is that one can more efficiently find amounts of information about a given topic more effetively on Wiki , because it first of all saves one from a physical trip to the library for for the information. Because I don't know about you but these last couple of semesters I have randomly used the access of the library to do research on a given topic, and well, I had a hard time finding the book on the right wrong book shelf or either on the book ile becuase of the way the book aile code number was listed on the library information card about the book number. Well, I was able to find the information that I was looking for but it was the long process to find the information. Therefore, using wiki online will help find the process of rsearching information. Researchers can find more effectively a variety of information that they can analyze the information given to assist them in their research.

3. Yes, I do believe that students have different learning style because of their diverse personalities, because I believe that their learning ability is based on what interests them and what subjects that they may object to. The reason why I believe this is because people seem to be less knowledgable about subjects that they do nto like when being compared to sbjects that interrest them.

ETech 424. 001 Week 5 Assignment I'mThe Caregiver

I was a caregiver I agree with results eventhough some of the points did not seem to match my personality. For example, when the article was talking about the ESFJ caregivers on how they are organized all the time. Well, to tell you the truth I have my times when I'm not really oragnized but then there are other times that I am organized which is every now and then.

What about the C group Project in ETECH class GANG?

Hey guys this is me Mitch. SOrry I wasn't able to chat with yall this mourning during ETECh 424 class. Man, I was skepticle about trying to find my research papper that ck said she did not get when I sent it to her. Well. while everyone was chatting about the what groups are going to pick what topic to do their project over and what was going to be the name of thier group, well I was trying to find my research papper on ECOLLEGE because It just had to be there. I remembered writing it on ECOLLEGE, but I couldn't remember how I saved it. Well, I finally found it, but once I found it I had to make several changes to it so that it would be perfect. Well, that took the entire class time. But I stayed with it and was able to cmplete the assignmentsa that were assigned for week 5, but I wasn't able to chat with you guys because yall had already left. As a result, CK suggested that I either e-mail to you guys about what topic we should do or to lbog to yall about wehat topic to due. So, when yall were gone and I was still present, I read osme of yall's blogs that yall sent to each other. I was thinking sense Brandon is a history major and i'm a theatre major and Sheena is a music major that we should have our topic over the history of theatre and music. The only thing is that we need to know what Alicia's major is so that her major will be included in our topic that way everyone can bring something new to the Group C project. What do you think blog me back when you get this I will check my blog later tonight wehen I get back inot myt apartment until then I need to go study for my psychology and astronomy classes tommorrow. Have good night!!

assignment 4 Blog assignment

1. I think that the spreadsheet is an awesome way to learn how use creative technologies to enhance your learning ability when trying to study. I really like how involved the spreadsheet is when it comes to math, I mean all you have to know how to talk to the computer by using its key board and mouse and BOOM! The spreadsheet will work out the math equation for you. I think spreadsheets improve the learniong envoronment in a classroom.

2. Yes and yes. I would certainly use spreadsheets in my class room, because after I have taught them about the writing process, as well as, how to brainstorm their ideas then I will show them how they can better succeed even more brainstorming creating an order of organization skill sound on the spreadsheet to ahv ea drawn out ideas that will eventually turn into a story.

3. As a teacher I would highly encourage my students to practice learning the technology skills that will guide students to think more critically about math arithmetic, language, the writing process, and most importantly reading. All academics revolve around reading. As a result, spreadsheet will enhance students reading skills. Therefore, they will learn how to mentally use reading practice skills on spreadsheet.

4. What are the advantages of spreadsheet over calculator? The advantages of using spreadsheet over calculators is that with spreadssheets you do not have to puch certain numbers in the spreadsheet to get the answer all you have to do is simply high light and click on an icon on the top line bar. In contrast, with the calculator you have to puch certain numbers in the right order along with the math sign in between and then punch the equals button to get the answer. As a result, if you do not punch the buttons in the right order the entire equation will force you to punch in the equation in the calculator all over again, but with the spreadsheet you don't have to do even that.

5. I really enjoyed reading about the the three functions that of the spreadsheet. I believe that when students better understand the relationship between either problem solving the variables in a math problem or reading and story or a text book and underlining the context clues as you read is most important part about understanding what one just read. Literature and math equations can be made so simple just by understanding how to use spreadsheet to assist the students guidance along throughout the process of learning. I also think that teachers could get creative and use spreadsheets as a academic behavior map that states how willing the child or adolescent will cooprate with the rules of the classroom. For example, if the child gets in trouble at anytime during the week he or she gets the red color put on the red sheet to keep track of thow well the child obeyed the rules of the classroom. In contrast, for the child that obeyed all the rules instructed than that student gets a green sticker for good behavior. Therefore, if the obedient student gets all five stickers at the end of the week than that student gets a surprise at the end of the week for good behavoir.#21

How wilI assist students in through the writing process?

3# During the writing process I will encourage students to expand upon their expand upon their writing skills by interacting with their own classmates to work with each other on an individual bases to assist one antoher in the creative writing process. The techniquie that I woulsd use to encourage my students would be splitting up my students in groups. Then I would encourage the students to use read each others' papers and critisize each others work by giving ideas about how one student can make their papper more effective. I will teach
students how to use the "Inspiration" technology to assist on how to correctly evaluate each others ideas on their pappers. Then they will understand how effective "Inspirations" is in guiding students through the writing process.#21

What writing activities using technology would I use in class.

2# I would highly recommend writing activities in my class. Even though I will be teaching theatre I am a playwright. Writing plays is equivalent to writing stories it is just with sentence lines. Anyway, I would like to encourage students to not only learn how to brainstorm their ideas on papper,but also to use "Inspiration" technology to enhance their creative brainstorming ideas on the computer. #21

I found that on Inspiration interesting skills.

1# On the "Inspiration" I found out some information that would assist me with planning to review and practice my skills in literature, language arts, social studies, mathematics, and science. I found out that by using the "Inspiration" that I will be able to practice my learning skills with the Visual Dialogue feature that will assist me in how I use my brainstorming ideas. As a result, The Visual Dialogue will help me also to evaluate and compare my brainstorm ideas in such way that will be the most effective. I would use " Inspiration" in my class room to guide students to enhance how they can use their creativity when brainstorming and writing a papper and for spelling.#21

#4 I competelty agree

#4 I believe blogging is a wonderful tool that will enhance how a student will grow and learn the materail covered in a subject more effectively. I beleive this because the student can always message some one and share their veiws on a subject to get their advice and thier opinion. I think that blogging is a great tool to learn about people that are from a different culture than your own. I also beleivethat blogging is a great way to meet people and share your veiws with other people with up dated computer technology in blogging information.

querstion #3


querstion #3 I think using blogs to communicate with computer technology with other people around the world is a great way to build knowledge to learn about any given subject that interests you are the person that you are blogging your message to. The reason why I beleive this is because up to date computer technology has brought learning and understanding to the attention to those who want to learn about a topic and ask qeustions by chating with a knowledge of the topic that you want the answer to. Blogging gives you a chance to share your interests with another person who may agree with your interests or may disgree.I think that blogging is a big stepping block in which the learning process increases any many other ways of studying skills of research. Research is one of the fundamentals of learning about a giving topic thoroughly. Therefore, I beleive that blogging should be a fundamental tool to be used to do research and to ask questions and advice from someone else by sending them a message from your blogmail. The people out there that beleive that blogs are a waste do not understand the advantages to learning and understand a given topic. The reason for this because some experts may believe that computer technology with blogs interfears with the learning process of students.
