Jamie Collins generously agreed to participate in a paralegal career interview with us to share her experiences working as a paralegal at a personal injury law firm and her advice for being successful in this field. Jamie Collins is a litigation paralegal in Indiana with 14 years of experience and writes a column for the paralegal magazine KNOW. She is also the founder of The Paralegal Society, a mentorship and community site for paralegals.
Can you tell us why you chose to become a paralegal?
It was luck or fate, I'm not sure which. I interviewed at a small law firm on my birthday 14 years ago and landed my first legal job working as a part-time receptionist. They eventually offered to pay for a portion of my paralegal degree, so I took classes at a local college and worked three days per week. I continued to hone my paralegal skills and eventually, I was hired on full-time. I worked at that firm for 6 years and learned so much from the attorneys for whom I worked. It was an ideal fit for me.
I really enjoyed working in the paralegal realm and offering my expertise and skills to help people in their time of need. I really love what I do! I'm now fourteen years into my career and I still find it to be a challenging and extremely rewarding on a daily basis. Although luck or fate brought me into the legal profession, it is my passion for the paralegal field that keeps me here. I absolutely love it.
What was your experience like when attending college as a paralegal student?
We had the great opportunity to speak with retired Deputy Chief Glenn Hoff from the Rochester Police Department in New York. Glenn is the founder of the law enforcement leadership website, Guardian Leadership, which provides an excellent resource for law enforcement professionals who are interested in career development and effective leadership skills.
1. Can you tell us how you got started in law enforcement and your career path to when you became a Deputy Chief of Police?
My start in law enforcement was almost accidental. It had not been an ambition of mine as I was growing up. After high school I went away to college and took a part-time job with campus security to make some money. I got to know some of the local police officers and security officers who were aspiring cops and they influenced me to take on law enforcement as a profession – which in the end became my avocation.
We recently had the great opportunity to interview the president of the Minnesota Paralegal Association, Lori J. Boris, RP®, about what it is like to work as a paralegal and advice for individuals interested in starting a paralegal career. In the following interview President Boris shares excellent insights and advice on being successful in the paralegal field.
Can you tell us why you decided to become a paralegal and how you got started in your career?
I decided to become a paralegal in around 1995 when I realized that I had the capability to do a lot more substantive legal work than I was currently doing. I had been working as an LAA (f/k/a legal secretary) for about four years at that point. So I enrolled in an ABA-approved post-baccalaureate paralegal program here in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro area that enabled me to obtain my paralegal certificate in one year. After graduating, I was very fortunate to get a job within the firm where I worked as a paralegal in the labor and employment law department. That was in 1998, and I've been working as a litigation paralegal in various areas of law ever since.
Ron Hampton, President of the East Coast Gang Investigator's Association, and experienced detective in gang investigation took some time out of his busy schedule to share some great insights into a career as a gang investigator.
How did you get started in gang investigation and what was your career path to your current position?
I began my career as a New Jersey State Trooper in 1994 as a general duty road Trooper assigned to what we call a 'Station' or 'Barracks.' I was basically a uniformed Trooper whose responsibilities included what would be consistent with any regular police officer assigned to a patrol function. The New Jersey State Police is also comprised of a number of specialized sections, bureaus and units which handle responsibilities related to criminal investigations, emergency management functions, SWAT, etc. In 2002, I submitted a request to transfer to our Street Gang Unit (as it was known at that time) as a detective. I was accepted into the assignment and began my 'new' career. My initial training consisted of general gang awareness and recognition courses, advanced gang courses, etc. I also was detailed to attend and observe instructors in my unit who taught general gang recognition courses to the general public in order to prepare myself for the same task. My unit also conducted operational criminal investigations focused solely on criminal street gangs and their members as well as the collection of intelligence on gangs.
How much experience do police officers generally need in order to work in gang investigations?

Explore the history of slavery in the U.S. and the stories of African Americans whose struggles for freedom shaped the nation.
Five hundred years ago, a new form of slavery transformed Africa, Europe, and the Americas. For the first time, people saw other human beings as commodities—things to be bought, sold, and exploited to make enormous profits. This system changed the world. The United States was created in this context, forged by slavery as well as a radical new concept, freedom. This is a shared story, a shared past, told through the lives of African Americans who helped form the nation.

How do you make a way out of no way? For generations, African Americans worked collectively to survive and thrive in the midst of racial oppression. Through education, religious institutions, businesses, the press, and organizations, Black men and women created ways to serve and strengthen their communities. They established networks of mutual support, cultivated leadership, and improved social and economic opportunities. They also developed a tradition of activism that paved the way for broader social change.

Sometimes in the foreground, sometimes in the background, at times in the shadows—but always somewhere in the frame—religion is essential to the story of Black America. In the Black press, which has served as a primary chronicle of Black life, religion often finds reflection in the images, comments, stories, and lives of noteworthy individuals, including religious and political leaders, musicians, authors, athletes, activists, and educators. The photographs and stories in this exhibition, drawn from the Johnson Publishing Company archive, reflect diverse aspects of the Black religious experience and testify to the role religion has played in the struggle for human dignity and social equality.

About visakhapatnam History
Visakhapatnam was ruled by King Visakha Varma during BC's, according to Hindu Puranams. It was a part of the Kalinga Kingdom, under Ashoka's rule in 260 B.C. It passed on later to the Andhra Kings of Vengi and later to Pallavas. Another story of this place is it was named after Subrahmanyeswara, the deity of valour, the second son of Lord Shiva. The beauty of the place was often compared to the beauty of Sakhi Visakha. The legend is that Radha and Visakha were born on the same day and were equally beautiful. Locals believe that an Andhra king, impressed by the beauty, built a temple to pay obeisance to his family deity, Visakha.
The Epic City
The city has been mentioned in the Indian epics Rāmāyana and Mahābhārata, as well as the forests of the Eastern Ghats where the two brothers Rama and Lakshmana wandered in search of Sita, wife of Lord Rama. According to the epics, Rama formed his army of monkey men in the region with the help of Hanuman and Jambavant. The monkey army of Rama later defeated the King Ravan to claim back his wife Sita. An episode of Mahābhārata when Bheema killed the demon Bakasura, was believed to have happened in the village Karmanvati, just 40 km from the city.
Buddhist influence
The religious Hindu texts mention that the region of Visakhapatnam in the 5th century BC was part of the vast Kalinga territory which extended up to the Godavari River. The relics found in the area also prove the existence of a Buddhist empire in the region. Kalinga later lost the territory to King Ashoka in the bloodiest battle of the time which prompted him to embrace Buddhism.
Sankaram
One of the most significant Buddhist sites in Andhra Pradesh, Sankaram is located some 41 km away from Visakhapatnam. The name Sankaram derives from the term Sangharama. Sankaram is famous for the whole lot of votive stupas, rock-cut caves, brick-built structural edifices, early historic pottery and Satavahana coins that date back to the 1st century AD. The main stupa here was initially carved out of rock and then covered with bricks. In close proximity lies yet another significant Buddhist sites, Bojjannakonda, where you can see a number of images of the Buddha carved on the rock face of the caves. At Ligalametta, there are hundreds of rock cut monolithic stupas in rows, spread all over the hill. Among other Buddhist attractions here are relic casket, three chiatya halls, votive platforms, stupas and Vajrayana sculptures. The Vihara was functional for around a millennium and saw the development of the not only Theravada form of Buddhism but also Mahayana and Vajrayana Buddhism.
Bavikonda
The term Bavikonda in Telegu language means a hill of wells. As per its name, Bavikonda is a hill which has wells for the collection of rainwater. Bavikonda is located 15 km from the town of Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh, India and is an immensely significant Buddhist site. Excavation carried out in 1982-87 revealed an entire Buddhist establishment comprising a Mahachaitya, embedded with relic caskets, large vihara complex, numerous votive stupas, a stone pillared congregation hall, rectangular halls, a refectory etc. Artefacts discovered from the site include Roman and Satavahana coins and pottery dating back to the 3rd century BC to the 2nd century AD. A significant finding here is a piece of bone stored in an urn. This bone is widely supposed to be the mortal remains of the Buddha. In the urn, there is also a large quantity of ash. The Bavikonda site, today, is counted amongst one of the oldest and immensely sacred Buddhist sites in the Asia. The ruins of the site stand reminder to the great Buddhist civilisation that once existed in the southern part of India. The site, in fact, also reminds a number of visitors of the Borobudur in Indonesia.
Thotlakonda
Around 16 km from Visakhapatnam is the Thotlakonda, a Buddhist complex situated on the top of a hill. The site spreads over an area of 120 acres (0.49 km2) and has been declared a protected monument by the government of Andhra Pradesh. Excavations carried out here have brought to surface three kinds of structural remains – religious, secular and civil. To be more precise the structures include a Mahastupa, 16 votive stupas, a stone pillared congregation hall, 11 rock-cut cisterns, well paved stone path ways, an apsidal chaitya-griha, 3 circular chaitgya-grihas, two votive platforms, 10 viharas, a kitchen complex with three halls and a refectory (dining hall). Apart from the structures, the Buddhist treasures excavated from here include nine Satavahana and five roman silver coins, terracotta tiles, stucco decorative pieces, sculptured panels, miniature stupa models in stone, Buddha padas depicted with asthamangal symbols, early historic pottery etc.
The territory of Visakhapatnam then came under the Andhra rulers of Vengi. Then Chalukyas, Pallavas ruled over the placid land. This region was under Eastern Ganga Kings, Surya Vamsi Gajapati kings of Orissa from 10th century to 16th century AD. This region came under Hyderabad rulers in 16th century. The Chola kings and Eastern Ganga Kings of Orissa built the temples in the city in 11-12 century AD as established by archeological findings. The Mughals ruled this area under the Hyderabad Nizam in the late 15th and early 16th century. European merchants from France, Holland and the East India Company used the natural port to export tobacco, ivory, muslin and other textile products.
Local legend states that an Andhra king, while on his way to Benalres, rested there and was so enchanted with the sheer beauty of the place. He ordered a temple to be built in honor of his family deity, Visakha. Archaeological sources however reveal that the temple was possibly built between the 11th and 12th centuries by the Cholas. A shipping merchant, Sankarayya Chetty, built one of the mandapams (pillared halls) of the temple. Although it no longer exists (it may have been washed away about a hundred years ago by a cyclonic storm), elderly residents of Visakhapatnam talk of visits to the ancient shrine by their grandparents. Noted author Ganapatiraju Atchuta Rama Raju contradicted this.
In the 18th century, Visakhapatnam was part of the Northern Circars, a region comprising Coastal Andhra and southern coastal Orissa that was initially under French control and later the British. Visakhapatnam became a district in the Madras Presidency of British India. In September 1804, British and French squadrons fought the naval Battle of Vizagapatam off the harbour. After India's independence it was the biggest district in the country and was subsequently divided into the three districts of Srikakulam, Vizianagaram and Visakhapatnam.
The city has the tomb of the Muslim saint Syed Ali Ishak Madina, located atop the dargah-hill near the harbour in old city, which is dated to 18th century, where Hindus make vows at it as often as Muslims. The saint is considered to be all potent over the elements in the Bay of Bengal. Many old residents say that every vessel passing the harbour inwards or outwards used to salute the saint by hoisting and lowering its flag three times, and that many ship-owners offer chadar at the shrine after a successful voyage. It's been said that the name Visakhapatnam is named after him i.e. Syed Ali Ishak Madina, the saint. Initially it was Ishaqapatnam which has been modified into present Visakhapatnam may be because of mispronunciation of an Arabic world by the local people.


Kosher foods are those that conform to the regulations of the Jewish Halakhic law framework, kosher meaning fit or allowed to be eaten. A list of some kosher foods are found in the book of Leviticus 11:1-47. There are also certain kosher rules found there.
Reasons for food not being kosher include the presence of ingredients derived from non-kosher animals or from kosher animals that were not slaughtered in the ritually proper manner , a mixture of meat and milk, wine or grape juice (or their derivatives) produced without supervision, the use of produce from Israel that has not been tithed, or the use of non-kosher cooking utensils and machinery.
You need not be Jewish to design a kosher kitchen. Nevertheless, a Rabbi is an expert on Jewish Law and would be perfect to design a kosher kitchen.
Although you may not be a Rabbi, the best place to begin is to learn a little bit about kosher foods, which break down into three basic categories: meat, dairy, pareve - a Hebrew word, meaning "neutral, neither meat or dairy."
Meat and meat products are anything that is animal. Dairy refers to milk and milk products, like ice cream, yogurt, cheese and butter. You might think that eggs belong in the meat category because they come from chickens, but, they are considered pareve.
Other pareve products include margarine, pasta, rice and other grains, fruit and vegetables. Fish is also considered pareve. Many foods in the supermarkets sold in boxes or cans may have the word pareve written on them. The same cans or boxes could also have a "K" with a circle or a "U" with a circle. These symbols indicate that the food has been prepared in accordance with kosher laws. The reason for categorizing food is that meat and dairy are not supposed to be mixed in the same meal. For example, if a meat dinner is prepared and bread is served, the bread must not have been made with milk or butter. No part of the meal can have any food made with dairy products. If coffee is served at the same meal, you may not use milk or cream. A milk substitute is allowed if it has been certified as a kosher non-dairy product.
The laws also govern the use of dishes, utensils, pots and pans. You may not use the same items for meat and dairy. If you prepare a cheese omelet in a frying pan, that pan can only be used for dairy preparation. You could not use it for minute steaks. The same fork or knife used for eating meat products cannot be used for eating cheese souffles or spreading butter.
This means that a kosher kitchen will have two sets of flatware, two sets of dishes, two sets of pots and pans, two sets of prep utensils, two sets of knives and so on and so on.
Now you get the idea of the storage that will be needed. Of course, if you have a tight space to design, the challenge becomes even greater.
The ultimate kosher kitchen is really two kitchens, so if space and budget permit yo to do so, try to create a double kitchen design for your kosher clients. The next best thing is to have two kitchens in one, with special attention paid to appliances, sinks and countertops.
One refrigerator/freezer is generally acceptable to kosher clients, although some may desire to keep there meat in a separate freezer. Obviously, the available space in the customer's kitchen will dictate how many refrigerators you plan to have. Sometimes, the refrigerator can be placed so that it serves as a divider between the meat and dairy kitchen. Cooking equipment like ovens, cooktops and ranges prove to be less problematic in kosher kitchens. Once again, if you have the space for two cooking systems, that's the best option. You may use any standard combination of cooking appliances, including a microwave oven. Make sure you have made provisions for the proper clearances and distances for functional purposes as you would any other kitchen.
The clean-up center is a little more difficult to plan in kosher kitchens. The best possible situation is to have two sinks and two dishwashers. Two dishwasher would take priority over two sinks. If the conditions are limited to only one sink, then two dishwashers, one for meat and one for dairy, will be helpful. The type of sink that is used is critical. Kosher laws state that only stainless steel products can be made kosher by using a process with boiling water. This does not mean that you can't use other products like solid surfacing or enameled cast iron. If you have two sinks, one for meat and one for dairy, you may use any type of sink material.
If you are using only one sink, and it is not stainless steel, you must use a liner of some sort, like a plastic dish pan. You would use the regular sink for meat and the plastic dish pan for dairy. The key issue in choosing the sink is how porous the material is. Countertop material is a very important issue in kosher kitchens. Of course, you really can use any material, as long as the food does not come in direct contact with the surface.
If kosher customer butcher their own meat and then place it directly on the countertop, that section of the countertop can only be used for meat products.
The same is true for dairy products, such as rolling dough, which are made with butter on a section of the countertop. Separate boards should be used for cutting meat or rolling dough. The use of stainless steel countertops could help yo avoid some of these problems.
Wooden countertops, however, would never pass the porosity test.
Now that you know a little bit about Kosher foods...let's Plan The Perfect Kosher Kitchen using meat, dairy and pareve.

Once a Jolly Swagman. . .
WALTZING MATILDA PROJECT
. . . Once a jolly swagman. . . That first line of the most well known and loved Australian folk song, that for me epitomises a big part of the Australian spirit. One that calls to freedom. . . living an adventurous life of fortune & glory. . .
Although I like the traditional folk versions and melody of the original song, I wished to create something unique that had not been done before, & also for me captured the many years I spent travelling around much of Australia, especially living in Darwin and the Top End for 6 years. . .
So after a while I came up with the Billabong mix. I thought well that´s sweet, happy with that, what´s my next project? . . Then. . . shortly after, the haunting Ghost mix came thru the mist. . . then the Thoroughbred dance mix, and finally after the dust from all the horses had settled, sitting around the campfire with the Coolabah mix & storytime. . .
. . . Wow, get off that brumby, what a ride. . .
I feel subconsciously I had wished to create a new version of Matilda that everyone could relate to, but the Aussies are a pretty diverse & varied lot, especially these days, so it took me 4 versions to cover the spectrum of musical styles. I figured every Aussie, and probably most other folk would like at least one of these. . .
Very proud of the Aussie spirit, all of us, very proud of these songs, hope you enjoy them all, or at least one. . .
Time also for the spirit of the swagman to rise out of the billabongs once more. . .
Time to go walkabout & come a Waltzing Matilda . . .
however that appeals to you in your own way. . .
Happy travels. . .
Although ´Matilda´ is an iconic Australian spirited anthem, I wished also to pay homage to the spirit of the original inhabitants of this Great Southern Land. . .
The indigenous people, the original caretakers of this land. Those who lived here so much longer than the settlers, yet often left in their travels little more than campfire ash and footprints. . .
May we all find our way to heal in the present, (which is the only gift we really have), and learn from their example of respect and care for this land that we all now share. . . And may we also care for & respect ourselves & each other. . . Peace. . .
THOROUGHBRED MIX video
SWAGMAN RISING
THE NEW MATILDAS
All tracks composed & produced by Jaiv
All vocals by Zuni
My personal view on the Waltzing Matilda story. . .
For me the swagman´s story is more allegorical than factual, more triumph than tragedy. His current state represents his psyche, limitations and struggles. . . He´s in survival mode. . .
I feel his dying/suicide is not necessarily one of physical death, (which is one way of transforming) but of transformation to a better version of himself by ´killing´ off the old limiting self to make way (give birth) for a new expanded version of himself. Epitomised in the I´d rather die than be imprisoned scenario, a call to free the soul and be at peace, whole, complete. . .
Expanding beyond survival to prosper. . . to be free. . .
This also ties in with the Indigenous practice of going walkabout. You go out to find your authentic self, to become more, solve a challenge, or whatever the focus may be, and you don´t come back till you´ve done it, solved it, resolved it or killed off that old pattern or part of you and come back a new you, the best version of yourself yet. Happy days. . .

Keith Ellison Wins Minnesota Attorney General Primary While Facing Abuse Accusations
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) won the Democratic primary for Minnesota attorney
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) won the Democratic primary for Minnesota attorney general on Tuesday, days after he was publicly accused of domestic abuse.
The deputy chair of the Democratic National Committee bested Minnesota Rep. Deb Holstrom, former county prosecutor Tom Foley, Minneapolis attorney Matt Pelikan and former state Commerce Commissioner Mike Rothman to clinch the party's nomination.
Ellison has denied allegations that he physically and verbally abused ex-girlfriend Karen Monahan, as first publicly alleged by her son in a Facebook post published Saturday. Monahan has since accused Ellison, whom she dated for several years until 2016, of emotionally abusing her, as well as dragging her off a bed.
"I never behaved this way, and any characterization otherwise is false," Ellison said Sunday in a statement.
Ellison's victory Tuesday night brings him one step closer to becoming the first Muslim statewide elected official in U.S. history, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
Ellison, 55, announced in June that he was giving up his congressional seat to run for attorney general. He was sworn into the House in 2006, making him the first Muslim to serve in the chamber.
The Minnesota lawmaker received endorsements from several high-profile figures and organization leading up to the race, including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), former Vice President Walter Mondale, Democracy for America and NARAL Pro-Choice America.
"As your next attorney general, I will continue that work and fight to protect the rights and freedoms of all," Ellison told The Star Tribune in July. "Minnesotans will know that they always have a fighter on their side."
Ellison is one of the staunchest progressives in Congress and has been an outspoken advocate for affordable health care, reproductive rights and worker and consumer protections.
His congressional tenure wasn't totally without controversy. He faced a backlash in recent years over his past support of the Nation of Islam and its anti-Semitic leader Louis Farrakhan, though he stated in 2016 that he "disavowed them long ago, condemned their views and apologized."

The Fear of Change, a poem by James Baxter.
When he was eleven years old, New Zealander James Keir Baxter wrote the following inscription with a rooster quill on the first page of a new notebook:
Original Poetry
J. K. Baxter
Born 29th June 1926
Will die when he and nature sees fit.
For the rest of his life Baxter remained faithful to his vocation and wrote more than 2600 poems. He died in Auckland at the age of 46 in 1972. In the last four years of his life, he worked to alleviate the condition of drug-addicts, alcoholics, the homeless, the unemployed and the native Maori people. He said he was was "steadily dying in the comfort of home, smoking cigars and watching television" ... while there existed "an obvious need for some of the people getting pulled to pieces in the towns to have a sanctuary..." Baxter believed that "one of the great crimes of society is to be poor" and as a consequence, he took the idea of Personal Social Responsibility very seriously.
The Fear of Change by James Baxter.
If you and I were woken suddenly
By the drums of Revolution in the street -
Or suppose the door shot open, and there stood
Upright and singing a young bullfighter
With a skin of rough wine, offering to each of us
Death, sex, hope - or even just an
Earthquake, making the trees thrash, the roofs tumble,
Calling us loudly to consider God -
Let us admit, with no shame whatever,
We are not that kind of people;
We have learned to weigh each word like an ounce of butter;
Our talent is for anger and monotony -
Therefore we will survive the singers,
The fighters, the so-called lovers - we will bury them
Regretfully, and spend a whole wet Sunday
Arguing whether the corpses were dressed in black or red.

Paper Example on Narrative Stylistics
Narrative stylistics involve formal and critical analysis of texts in relation to structural linguistic or known traditions. In essence, it pertains to the analysis of texts based on the structures and the levels of the theoretical understanding. The focus is normally on the various media and the language of the narrative. Additionally, it delves into the narrator or the storyteller to determine whether the content is fictional or factual (Rosenberg, 205). The narrators are either the first person, who are usually the heroines or the heroes of the story, or the implied author. For example, Cinderella comes out as the heroine in the story, as she navigates different difficulties to emerge the happiest in the end, unlike the sisters who die for wanting to marry a seemingly cruel prince.
The study involves a narrative discourse, which mainly entails the description and the mastery of activities in order to form ideology (Pier, 2015). For example, at the beginning of the narration the audience thinks that the fairytale would end with marriage between Cinderella and the prince. However, as the narrative proceeds, the prince comes out as a brute and the audience then changes their feelings. The relief is when Cinderella marries a gentle countryside jam maker. It means that part of the narrative discourse, the audience somewhat had a vague idea of the narrative being a fairytale, particularly when the Cinderella had that wonderful dance with the prince. Closely related to the discourse is the narrative plot, which mainly addresses the complexity of the problems. In the text, the plot changes to the point that the audience does not understand whether the story would have a good ending, and whether the Cinderella would finally have a reward for refusing to follow her sisters evil ways. The twist in the plot creates suspense that inevitably keeps the audience glued to the narrations.
Key elements of Narrative Stylistics
The first element is the characterization based on events and the ensuing actions. To this end, the main aim is to match up the development of the various characters with the events and actions in the story (Wu, 2017). For example, at the beginning the prince comes out as a noble and loving person who cares for humanity and the well-being of others. However, as the story progresses he turns into a brute who murders Cinderellas sister by decapitating them. The second type of characterization mainly explores the mode of narration and the narrators opinion or the characters supposed features. For example, it is clear that the narrator does not like Cinderellas sisters while he has much adoration for Cinderella who is quite humble.
The other element of narrative style is the socio-linguistic code, which is mainly the expression through language, implied or spoken, the cultural, linguistic, or historical setting that informs the story (Nemoianu, 2014). In addition, it also depicts the setting of novel in terms of time and the geographical location. Culturally, it is evident that people in the novel value leadership and that is why most women fancy the idea of getting married to a prince. Leadership is revered and the leaders are expected to act with decorum and a degree of humanity. That is why Cinderellas perception of the prince changed instantly when he turned into a brute. The final element is inter-textuality, which is the art of allusion. To this end, the narrator may borrow from other texts or allude to the work by other writers or renowned characters.
Analysis of the Narrative Style of the Book (Revolting Rhymes-Cinderella)
The mentioned book uses both the autodiegetic and the heterodigetic types of narration. The former is the less dominant since the character rarely tell the story (Ufot, 2014). However, the first person narration is rampant throughout the novel. For instance, Cinderella tells the fairy mother that she wished to be at a party and dancing with a prince. The latter narration is common since the author tells the story from his own perspective. He literally narrates the story to the audience. There is narrative discourse throughout the story. As mentioned earlier, narrative discourse refers to the process of formulating an ideology based on the characters actions and the ensuing events. The main ideology in the novel is the fact that good things happen to good people while the bad people always make fatal mistakes. Cinderella, who is humble and charming, ends up marrying a decent man, while the sisters are killed in the most horrible way imaginable.
The plot of the narrative is evidently complex and is different from the conventional fairytales of the past. In the conventional fairytales, the beautiful, or the girl with the desired character often end up marring the prince, and then they live happily ever after. Such is not the case in the book, as Cinderella charms the prince with her beauty, but needs up marrying another man (Roald, 1995). While it is fairytale, the plot seems intricate, as it is not obvious form the onset that Cinderella would marry the humbler and well-mannered jam maker.

Just call me "AUNT JESS!!!"
Hello my fabulous followers! =) (This is non-school related post tonight!) So my sister went into labor yesterday morning and had sweet lil Sonorah yesterday evening! That sad news is that she had some trouble breathing on her own, so they have a tube down her mouth and she is on oxygen. Last night she was on 100% oxygen and it was very scary b/c we were not told what was going on. My sister finally got to see her sweet girl after 9:30pm... (4 hours after Sonorah was born!) and started to feel a little better. Good news: She is down to 65% oxygen! They are "weening" her off everything right now.... and we aren't allowed to touch her since she has all those cords and tubes on her. (They don't want to risk stimulating her b/c she might try to tear off all the cords and such) So she has been pretty sedated. I went twice today to see her and I was so excited! The 2nd time I went with her daddy and he was talking to her and she started to open her eyes to look at him. I started to cry like a baby it was so sweet! (He got it on video too!) So I have been at the hospital the past 2 days supporting my sister and keeping her company. (She has not slept for more than a hour, crazy girl! But I understand... I can't sleep knowing that Sonorah is hooked up to all those machines.) I do trust that she is God's hands and will come out of this just fine. We just want to hold her soooo bad! She is so beautiful!
I forgot to take a picture of it, but we have this station where the kids copy and extend the patterns. You could take it a step further and have them label the pattern.
We just began our Numbers unit... so I just had them use the foam-dough to form the letters and quantity on the mats.
A puzzle where the kids can finish the pattern.
THESE CAN NOW BE FOUND HERE IN MY TPT STORE. =) They have been updated with a border and new font!
1. When asking a question, always present it to the ENTIRE class before selecting a student to respond.
The book goes onto to explain how Checking for Understanding (CFU) is the backbone to effective instruction.
1. If you look at quizzes/tests, homework, etc. it's TOO LATE to modify your instruction.
2. CFU guarantees HIGH student success because you provide additional examples and reteach when necessary.
3. CFU allows you to confirm you students know how to do the independent practice/homework BEFORE they are asked to do it.
When do you Check For Understanding?
-After telling the students the learning objective, ask them to tell you what they are going to learn.
-After giving a definition, ask students to state the definition in their own words. Ask them for examples, or provide examples and ask them to select which one meets the definition.
-Don't call on hand wavers.
-Call on students at random.
This is the only way you can measure if EVERYONE is learning.
Then they gave us an easy way to remember how to CFU.
Teach first. They go on to say that when you ask questions BEFORE you teach (like asking "Who knows what a platypus is?") you are not really measuring the effectiveness of your teaching. Instead, you are assessing the existing background knowledge of your students.
When you CFU, your students can answer correctly because they are applying the information you just taught them.
How long should you wait before selecting a student?
Pause atleast 3-5 seconds. If you are asking a challenging question, wait 8-10 sec.
During the "wait time", walk around the room and repeat the question a couple times. Even "stir the sticks" as you get ready to pull one. This will signal to the students to get ready with an answer.
Another wonderful technique is to "pair share". This is great during the initial phases of learning new information. You tell your students to discuss the answer with their neighbor so they will be ready to respond to your CFU question. For example, you say "I'm going to select one of you to tell me ___________. But first, turn to your neighbor and discuss ________ so you will be ready when I call on you."
During pair share, your students are: practicing pronouncing and saying new vocabulary AND using them in sentences. (Great for your low and ELL kiddos!) It also provides extended wait time for your Higher Order Thinking questions. (HOTS questions) If you float around the room during pair share, you can ensure that everyone is on task and have a feel for how much time is needed for the kiddos to compare their answers.
Pick a Non-Volunteer. (This is when you could use the Popsicle sticks.) Helps you find out if there are students who don't know the answer. Their general rule is: Call on at least 3 kiddos each time you "TAPPLE". If 3 students respond correctly, it's likely all your students are understanding. If 2 or 3 random students are confused, you don't need to check any further. The class hasn't learned it yet.
Listen very carefully to you student's answer. Ideally, your students will always have the correct answer to your CFU questions, but sometimes they won't. What you do next depends on what you hear- you think about the answer, decide if it's correct, partially correct, or just plain wrong.
when the student response is correct- restating of the correct answer.
"That's right, Susan, all sentences start with a capital letter!"
actually re-explain, when student answers are incorrect.
don't make a big scene out of it, instead say "Listen carefully because I am coming back to you."
If the 2nd student DOES have the correct answer: echo and elaborate a little to reinforce the correct answer, then go RIGHT BACK to the first student and ask them the question again.
If the 2nd student does not have the correct answer= RETEACH!
After you RETEACH, go back to the same 2 original students, ask the same CFU question and then call on additional students to reinforce the content.
Students are never let off the hook. They always have to respond correctly (even if we need to hand-feed them the answers.
When students give an incorrect answer, don't say "No, that's wrong." and move on to another student... Instead ask students to explain or justify how they arrived at their answer.
Avoid the trap of calling on volunteers to get the right answer.
This is a fantastic teaching strategy b/c if you call on three students and then ECHO three times, your class just hear the answer SIX TIMES!!! The general rule is that is takes 16-24 repetitions to transfer info into long-term memory.
The CFU chapter ended with the best way to CFU.... can you guess what it is???
-if you see multiple wrong answers, it signals you to RETEACH.
They ended on a note to say that when you see a student that has the wrong answer on their whiteboard, call on those students to hear their thinking on how they got to their answer.
So when using whiteboards, pull sticks and have several individuals justify or explain their answer. Every student should be able to successfully explain his or her reasoning by applying the methods you taught them.
So I have spent the evening watching every single one of these youtube videos on teachertipster.com.
If you have not checked this website out yet, you MUST! He has all sorts of great ideas for motivating your students, managing and dealing with behaviors, and fun little activities to help you teach while keeping it fun and educational!
I am sooooo excited about this Math Work station party! I am waiting til tomorrow to purchase the book (payday! Yippee!) and have been catching up online! I have loved the first 2 chapters so far! It's a bit reassuring b/c I have been doing math centers, and although I have A LOT of room for improvement, I have already got the routine started!
Model MORE before putting our materials in the stations.
Model how to correctly get the centers out and how to put them away.
Each child was put into a group of 3-4. Then they were assigned an ocean animal on one of my green tubs. In each of my tubs was an activity that went along with whatever math skill we were working on that week. I had a lot of problems with some kids getting work finished quickly- so I would send them to an "anchor tub" to work. It was usually a game or activity we have worked on previously in math stations.
But I love Debbie Diller's idea of having a place for each station in the room. So I will definitely be changing this up and using these bins for recess centers next year.
I have most of my manipulatives sorted in these bins, but want to purchase smaller bins from the dollar tree for some since there is a lot of extra space in these ones. I plan on labeling them as well!
Here are the anchor tubs, along with all our Lakeshore instant learning centers that we use from time to time.
I do my small groups on the carpet b/c I don't have a kidney bean table. All my small group materials are kept in the green drawers and the small white ones as well.
Were I keep our play coins for counting the days of school.
Materials used by the teacher first, then placed in the station: Yes, but I could do a better job modeling it several times before putting it in the station!
Materials do not change weekly, but rather changed to reflect the students learning objectives: I could do a much better job with this!
All students go to stations daily: YES! Yay!
Materials are differentiated: Whoops! Need to work on this.


Gabrielle Union is opening up about her failed marriage in the past and how she's struggled with friendships with women.
Before Dwyane Wade, Union was married to Chris Howard, a former NFL running back for Jacksonville Jaguars, from 2001 to 2006. During their five year marriage, Union constantly suspected foul play. In her memoir, she explains the constant red flags she received. She reflects when Howard proposed, he was eating a KFC potato wedges with a bucket of chicken standing alongside of him; her bridesmaids showed up to her wedding hungover; and there was constant speculation of him cheating.
The pair eventually got a divorce and Union says that when they pulled the plug on their marriage, her career was also suffering.
For me that was my first marriage, going through the divorce process. I lost my show – my show was canceled. And I was having difficult relationships with my BFFs – my day ones. And it was everyone's fault but my own.
I literally found myself under my bed with my dog.
It was then when Union knew she needed to make a change. In order to make such a turnaround, she started working closely with trainer/life coach, A.J. Johnson, who is deemed as a "changer of many lives in Hollywood." Union describes her workout sessions with Johnson a little differently.
Of course your marriage failed. You don't know what makes you happy. Why would you think anybody else would know?
Within search of her happiness, Union reminisces on how she realized it was time for her to move forward.
I'm a hater, I'm a troll. [Johnson] was like, all those negative things that had been happening in your life, it's exactly what you're putting out, you're getting back. I had to see myself clearly. It's ugly, it's hard, it's painful to recognize that you are the common denominator for the vast majority of your problems.
When Union realized she needed to make a switch in her life, she recollected how that is often overshadowed by "keeping it real." She also realizes how detrimental, some friendships with women can be to one's growth.
There are some girlfriends who want to squash you. The goal isn't to watch you evolve, the goal is to watch you be miserable. There's something that is appealing about your misery to them. Then there are the real girlfriends, who can be honest in a loving way, the goal isn't to squash you, but is to watch you evolve into the woman who you want to be.
The author clearly found the balance with friendship and love. She later married NBA star, Wade in 2014.
The idea that a good woman – or a good future wife – should have the propensity to handle enormous amounts of pain, and that's what makes you a good wife. When we got married, we had to redefine that. As an evolved person – as a healed person – I'm not interested in pain, and I'm not interested in hurting you either. I married 'D. Wade,' and I have a marriage with Dwayne Tyrone Wade Jr., and I'm still getting to know him. I'm in a amazing friendship/marriage with this beautiful man, I didn't even know existed.
