Typing Lesson

I know each person learns at their own pace, but I’m just curious, how many lessons did you take before you took the road test? Did you pass on the first time?

i first went for a written two part test - passed that
then i went to driving school it was a week long and then i had 10 hours with a driving instructor so they taught me proper rules of the road.
april 26 i go for my g2 licence and i’m nervous but happy.

I am currently trying to find really good colleges for vocal performance. I know that you have to audition for the really good schools, but let me tell you a bit about my academic background. I am a straight-A student except for an arbitration in math my sophomore year. (I got C’s both semesters. My teacher didn’t teach at all.) I have taken AP Human Geography, World History, US History, English, and am planning on taking AP Spanish, Music Theory, and Psych. I speak fluent Spanish and French. I’m not trying to show off or anything, just showing you I don’t want to go to a stupid college. I’m Vice President of my class, and President of our choral department. Due to monetary limitations, I’ve not been able to take private lessons, but I believe that I’m very good, and we’re currently looking for a teacher. I’ve also been a part of a professional choir since 6th grade, and I am a section leader for the advanced group.

I want to go to school near a bigger city, preferably in the Northeast. Will you tell me the best colleges/conservatories for music (other than Julliard) or give me some kind of directory and also, would it be better to stay in a big city or to go to a smaller town (I’ve heard that Indiana and Oklahoma have very good programs…)?

The Eastman School at Rochester is the finest by far. One music professor claims "Their rejects go to Julliard." I of course cannot verify that claim.

here is a list, for what its worth:

Ithaca School of Music in Ithaca, NY
Baldwin Wallace Conservatory in Cleveland OH
Oberlin College in Cleveland OH
Eastman School of Music in Rochester NY
San Francisco Conservatory (guess where)
Carnegie Mellon University

I’m in New York State, just got my license. However, I need to take drivers ed so I can drive after 9. This one driving school offers individual lessons, do you think they’d give me that certificate after just 1 lesson? That way I save boat loads of money. Otherwise a 7 lesson plan is like 350 bucks.

Only the driving school can answer your question, not random strangers on Yahoo answers.

Since the lessons are so short, is writing out a detailed lesson plan necessary? What kind of planning do preschool teachers do? I mean, some planning MUST go into the day’s activities, but is it as formal as a lesson plan?

I do write daily lesson plans, and I suspect almost all preschool teachers do. I start by determining which education standards I want to address and what my main lesson/activity will be. Then I build the whole day around the standards I am addressing for that day. The entire day’s schedule and activities are planned out based on the standards and must be written out to the extent that a sub can step in and follow my plan if I should have to leave unexpectedly or become ill and cannot attend that day. I’m guessing that what you’re really asking is if I write out my main activity in the great detail that I did when writing lesson plans when I was in college, and the answer to that question is no, not in the same way. All of that information is there, but in a simpler format. It’s important to do all that when you’re in going to school though, to help you learn to understand and develop the thought process that goes into planning the day’s activities. Everything we plan for each day has an educational purpose. We have limited time with these kids, so we want every minute to be constructive, fun, and purposeful.

My boyfriend speaks very little English and it makes it hard for him to learn guitar with the DVDs I originally got him. Where can I find some DVDs for guitar lessons in Spanish? I don’t mind paying for the program, but I want to know it’s in Spanish so he can understand, and it’s quality material so that he will learn from them.

Hi,

I believe this is what you are looking for:

I want to do this but i have no clue on how. I would greatly appreciate your help in helping me develop a lesson plan. I also live in texas.

I really can’t help you write a lesson plan unless I knew what you were teaching. Generally, lesson plans contain Objectives: such as, Student will be able to identify adjectives in given sentence,. Then there is usually Motivation: such as, a sentence on the board that says ‘The dog gave me a bone. Then ask the class "How can we make this sentence better,. Usually someone will suggest say the big, brown, dog gave me a bone Then you can get the students to define adjective as a word that describes a noun. Then Classwork: 1 Students write 5 original sentences and underline the adjectives 2. Students read their sentences aloud and other students identify adjectives in their sentence.. Summary: Review with the students the definition of adjective. Homework Write a brief letter to your teacher telling what adjectives are and why they are important.

The lesson should be about thirty minutes long. Also keep in mind it is March, so the children are almost ready for Kindergarten. Thank you!
In response to Andy Y, this is for a preschool class. I am looking for some interesting ideas for my preschool class, as I am getting bored with lessons I’ve given in years past. I’ve also worked with many of the same colleagues for a few years now, and we’ve all shared ideas. I was just looking for some fresh new ideas that I may not have heard of. Thanks.

Cook with the class: measurement is math!

A lot of basic addition is done with counters, but if you have access to a water table, you can have them pour water tinted with food coloring into graduated cylinders to test the answer to 3+2=? (fill a cup to the number three with water and another clear measuring cup to two and pour them in together and have someone read the answer).

Sorting is also a math skill, so you can give them a variety of items and have them put them into groups or sort items and have them guess why you grouped them together (eg. the same buttons might be sorted by color, shape, size, number of holes, etc.)

Give them each rulers and teach them to identify a foot and then have them search around the room for things that are less than a foot, about a foot, or more than a foot long and share their answers.

There was reference to the last Saxon King - king Harold, and perhaps King Alfred was mentioned in passing, but it seems English primary school history lessons treat the Saxon kings somewhat harshly. What do others think?

I researched for two days on this and came up blank for the "most part". I don’t normally spend so much time on "two" points. What did seem apparent is that this was an oppressed time for the English. I offer a few links below that may assist in determining in your own mind that this oppression was not accepted well and therefore a time that would like to be forgotten by as many Englishmen as possible. I agree that history should be honest and true, but often time history is written by those who are either victorious in war, or have a power over the masses. Hopefully I helped somewhat. Good luck!… ☺

Do not worry, just follow the classroom syllabus from prescribed books by the school. Do daily home work. Take help from reputed guide books if required. You do not need to read whole book as exams are terminal. Read lessons up to the term exams.

I need to teach a group of 3-4 year olds the difference between wet and dry. Does anyone have a creative lesson that will be both educational and fun?

Hmmm well I think at that age, the little ones know the difference but just in case here is what we did in our case:

We went through various items like sponges, toys, and even their hands. We showed that when the object is in liquid it is more slippery, and sometimes colder. To show dry we did the opposite.

They catch on pretty quickly
