Errors in language use Proper use of grammar may save someone's life.  Error #1: Run-on Sentence or Comma Splice A run-on sentence is a sentence that joins two independent clauses without punctuation or the appropriate conjunction. A comma splice is similar to a run-on sentence, but it uses a comma to join two clauses that have no appropriate conjunction. Fixing a run-on sentence or a comma splice can be accomplished in one of five different ways: Separate the clauses into two sentences. Replace the comma with a semi-colon. Replace the comma with a coordinating conjunction--and, but, for, yet, nor, so. Replace the comma with a subordinating conjunction--after, although, before, unless, as, because, even though, if, since, until, when, while. Replace the comma with a semi-colon and transitional word--however, moreover, on the other hand, nevertheless, instead, also, therefore, consequently, otherwise, as a result. For example: Incorrect: Rachel is very smart, she began r...

தமிழில்..... {நன்றி: திருமதி. அன்னலட்சுமி, தலைமை ஆசிரியர்} Topic: Implementation (Learning Objective)Vs Implication (Learning outcome) on values How do we create the environment and interest of children to learn, specially Primary school.

Something positive and negative. Therefore let's know implications of our Implementations, we can reduce negative reactions in students'mind to some extent. தலைப்பு செயல்படுத்தல் (கற்றல் குறிக்கோள்) Vs உட்குறிப்பு (கற்றல் விளைவு) மதிப்புகள் குழந்தைகளுக்கு, குறிப்பாக ஆரம்பப் பள்ளிகளில் கற்கும் சூழலையும் ஆர்வத்தையும் எவ்வாறு உருவாக்குவது. நமது நடைமுறையின் தாக்கங்களை அறியாமலேயே, குழந்தைகள் கற்றுக் கொள்வதற்கான கற்றல் சூழலை நிச்சயமாக நாங்கள் உருவாக்குகிறோம். இதில் எவ்வித சந்தேகமும் இல்லை. நாம் அறிந்து கொள்ள வேண்டியது, நமது ஒவ்வொரு செயலுக்கும் மாணவர்களிடம் காணா...

Someone had told me about grief 1. No matter how prepared you think you are for a death, you can never be fully prepared for the loss and the grief. 2. You can plan for death, but death does not always comply with our wishes or plans. 3. “Stop avoiding and be present.” 4. “Dying is not like you see on TV or in the movies. It is not peaceful or prepared. You may not have a spiritual or meaningful moment. It’s too real.” 5. A hospital death is not always a bad death. 6. A home death/hospice death is not always a good death. 7. “There will be pressure from others to move on, even minutes or hours after a death, and this can lead to regrets”. 8. “Death is not an emergency. There is always time to step back and take a moment to say goodbye.” 9. Death and grief make people uncomfortable, so be prepared for awkward encounters. 10.

It's a crucial question to ask, because research finds that parents who feel strongly about their kids turning out morally usually succeed because they committed themselves to that effort. If you really want to raise a moral child, then make a personal commitment to raise one. 2. Be a Strong Moral Example Parents are their children's first and most powerful moral teachers, so make sure the moral behaviors your kids are picking up from you are ones that you want them to copy. Try to make your life a living example of good moral behavior for your child to see. Each day ask yourself: "If my child had only my behavior to watch, what example would he/she catch?" The answer is often quite telling. 3. Know Your Beliefs & Share Them Before you can raise a moral child, you must be clear about what you believe in. Take time to think through your values t...

Topic: Teach Reading There are four components that help us as a teacher to structure reading instruction in a classroom. • Modelled Reading • Shared Reading • Guided Reading • Independent Reading These four components are woven into our weekly instruction to help our students work on different skills through their reading journey.  The purpose behind the gradual release of responsibility is to ensure that students understand what they need to do.  When we slowly show them how to do things and work on making the doing of the work more under their control then they are better prepared to show us the skills they have learned over time to master the concepts we are trying to teach them. With this framework in reading it allows us as teachers to model much of the reading process explicitly to our students.  Sharing with them the thinking skills and strategies of good readers.  Especially when some will just figure it out and others are left with the mystery of what is ac...

Group discussion Participants: Dr. Sekar srinivasan, Dr. Parvathi, Dr. Balasubramanian, Mrs. Vijayalakshmi menon and Azeez Topic: Instill civility in children 🍁 ¶ Let's define civility: It is the behavior that recognizes the humanity of others – a key element of sociability. It is to recognize and to appreciate. ¶ Psychological elements of civility: Civility demands restraint and an ability to put the interests of the common good above self-interests.  It requires us to treat others with decency, regardless of our differences.  The psychological elements of civility include self-awareness, self-control, empathy, and respect. ¶ Is Civility on the Decline? • Dr Sekar Seenivasan: Strictly saying it is not on the decline.   Most of the observations on civility is from vested media propaganda.  In reality with the enormous population and in the rural sides it exists as a core human value. • Azeez: True to some extend. Because it is impossible to know if civility has...
