Typing Lesson

Princess Diana said she "should never have married into a German family" during her divorce from Prince Charles, her lawyer said in book extracts published by a newspaper on Sunday.

I’ll wager she was often the one standing at the back of the class with a pointy hat (upon which the letter D is clearly visible) on her head. But let us be fair Mr Churchill, she got it partly right. German, Greek/Danish. I would award her 50%, which was a pass when I went to school. But never-the-less, indeed she was, a dill.

They do not know the difference between a continent and a country, I am looking for a basic intro to geography lesslesson plan or power point that I could use to teach them and some worksheets to go along with it. I am only a student teacher, but this kids need to know their geography.

Thanks,

Andrew

hope to help!!

So about 3 or 4 months ago now, we had a new seating plan in my geography class. I was moved near to this guy who I never met before. There was alot of flirty glances going on, and then one lesson he passed me a not (sort of childish yet, but some how cute at the same time). We met up after school. He wanted me to go talk to him in the boys bathroom, and we spent about 15 minutes texting with him inside and me outside, refusing to go in. In the end he realised I was not going into the boys bathroom regardless of who was or wasnt in there. He had a detention and so we walked there together and talked. In class with his friends he seems loud, confident and cheeky, but by himself he was awkward and sweet. I went home and texted him what was he doing after detention. He said nothing and so we met up, just the two of us. We were sat in some bushes in the park and we sort of made out. He wanted to do more than that, and usually I would and I don’t know why I didn’t. I guess maybe I really felt for him, and wanted him to respect me, not just for a bit of fun. He realised that I wasnt easy and I told him that. He also told me that there was this other girl who he had liked for ages. I told him he needed to make a desicion, and he wasn’t going to lead me along. he told me he needed to think. That night he told me on facebook that he chose the other girl. He was very apologetic about it. He also confided in me who she was and begged me not to tell anybody, even though I don’t know her myself. We agreed to be friends still though, even though we hadnt know each other before that day. I didn’t tell anybody, and about 2 weeks later, he did get with her. Their relationship lasted about 3 weeks. I don’t know why they split. Despite the fact we said that we would still be friends, we haven’t spoken since. At first we smiled when we saw each other at school, but now even that has gone. We don’t even exchange glances anymore in geography.

I still like him. Do I have a chance still? Should I tell him that I still feel for him?
I honestly don’t think he was just looking for sex, and I have met alot of guys who are,
This was all about 3 or 4 months ago now, and so its not like him and the other girl only just broke up

seduce him with pokemon cards

I am a first year teacher, and I am working on lesson plans for my music class. I am wanting to come up with a lesson plan for each letter of the alphabet. Example- For "A" I will teach about "a capella music", for "B" the "bass clef", for "C" I will teach about "conducting music", and so on. I am having trouble coming up with a music term/lesson plan for the letters E, G, H, J, K, N, U, W, X, Y, and Z. Any ideas? Please state as many ideas as possible for each letter. Best answers will get 10 points!

E
===
Ethnomusicology - There should be enough material here for at least ten lessons. And some fascinating stuff, at that.

Euphony

G
===
Gramophone - Lesson on recorded music, its invention, effects upon performance (weak voices getting heard), distribution, evolution of popular music across borders, musical preservation, etc. Wax cylinder device used by Alam Lomax to record, preserve and disseminate the words of early blues singers like Leadbelly. There’s a beautiful film about this process called Songcatcher, showing a musicologist staggering up and down muddy Appalachian hillsides with a wax cylinder recording device, and the soundtrack has won awards.

Griot - African storyteller. There is a long tradition of using music for storytelling, including in U.S. folk music, which itself is influenced by African music and traditions of storytelling therein

Gregorian Chant

H
===
Harmony - This seems like the obvious choice

Harmonics - But this is also interesting from a more technical standpoint

Harmonization - More of a class participation thing, I guess

Heterophony
Homophony
Hearing

J
===
Jazz - The original American music.

Jive

K
===
Key - Enough said!
Key Signature

N
===
Noise - Lesson exploring the question "What is music, and who gets to say what is and what isn’t?" Porgy and Bess - uses of common sounds considered to be noise in music. Modern tradition of sampling and how it compares to the folk tradition of adapting the musical work of others.

Non-music
Nonharmonic
Nonauditory
Noninstrumental music
Nonresonant

U
===
Unsounded - Lesson on things that are heard by the listener even though they are never actually sounded in the performance of a musical work, like a missing beat from a pattern that had been repeated, or a missing beat in a syncopated melody.

Unison - Lesson on when more is "more" and when it is "less." Recording technique of a single vocalist overlaying her own vocals to attain greater richness of tone. Expanding from unison to harmony and back into unison for effect.

Unharmonious - Lesson on uses of dissonance in music. Moving from dissonance to harmony as a form of resolution.

Unmusical - Lesson on how value systems relate to music. When are values organic? When are they imposed?

Unsoundable

W
===
Western Music - Lessons too plentiful for words - or even notes.

Waveforms - Lesson on sine wave, square wave, how they look, how they sound, how they are generated and combined in synthesizers, evelopes, etc.

X
===
This was a hard one. I think you may have to riff off of Xylophone, going from the particular instrument to more general
concepts, unless you can think of something I haven’t! This was the best I could find.

Xylophone

Xylophonic

Xylorimbas

Y
===

Yodeling - If nothing else, a lesson on this could be fun. Maybe also related to harmonics, as a tie-in to music theory.
How harmonies can be "heard" even though they occur over time rather than simultaneously. The persistence of sound in the mind, like the persistence of vision when viewing a zoetrope (the well-know spinning piece of cardboard with the bird on one side and the cage on the other, which, when spun, makes the bird appear to be in the cage).

Yu - Interval on the Chinese scale, as a segue to non-Western music

Yip Harburg - Music of the Great Depression. Music as social commentary.

Z
===

Zouk - Segue to African music.

Zauberflote - Mozart’s "Magic Flute" opera

Zingarelli, Niccolo Antonio - Italian composer. The official Italian Scrabble word list happens to be named Zingarelli, although I’m not certain why that is!

Zither - Possible lesson on folk instruments, how they evolve, how similar instruments vary from one culture to another (e.g., bagpipe vs. gaida)

Hope that at least some of these are helpful!

In To Kill A Mockingbird, how does Atticus’s lesson to scout about walking around in another persons skin apply to incidents with Miss Caroline, Walter Cunningham, and Burris Ewell? How could she have avoided trouble?

Because if she had walked around in their skin, she could have seen the situation from their point of view. I haven’t read the book for a while, but if the incident with Miss Caroline is the one where Scout gets in trouble in class, then Scout could have avoided that if she had seen it from Miss Caroline’s view because Miss Caroline was new to Maycomb and didn’t know the ways of the town, and if Scout had seen it from her point of view, she wouldn’t have gotten in trouble……

i think. haha.

iv been tryin to find a decent website to learn guitar. and im wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction to sites that talk the basics of guitar and all that good stuff.

Hello there,

Here is a link to a video lesson at Youtube. This guy has a series of 12 lessons. You can find the other lessons in the related videos section. He covers the basics very well. He uses an electric guitar, but the material translates to the acoustic very well.

Here is a link to an article about how to read tabs.

Later,

Personal finance was slightly taught to me by my parents or in school. I had to learn how to balance a checkbook, the dangers of credit cards and about saving all on my own. What personal finance lesson do you wish you had been taught in your younger years & how would that have changed your current economic status?

I wish I could teach the world:
Don’t ever carry credit card balances - it ruins your credit
Don’t even think of leasing a car - its moronic
Don’t ever rent furniture
Don’t ever buy a time share
Don’t even think of financing furniture - save up for things.
Save to buy a car, as much as possible.
Put 20% down on a house - even if you think your friends will make fun of you for having a small house.
Put money away in a ROTH, 401K - as much as possible
Become as self- insured as possible - stop making insurance companies rich
Always have 6 months worth of living expenses socked away.

Hi, I took this online test thing which was reccomend to me and my restult was
ISTJ
Strength of prefrences %
17 12 12 56

then there was a link saying somethink like View the recommended career’s for you…..
and I clicked it and here they are:

Management
Administrative Management
Accounting

Computer Programming
Technology Education

Physician(Surgery)
Dentist/Dental Assistant

Law
Military Training
Security Services

I definatly dont want to do Law for various reasons and Im not really that clever in Maths and english so I dont think Managment is my thing. I thought about being a Surgeon or somethink or a GP or somethink like that but I just dont think it’s me. I like computers and I have a few awards and stuff but thats just from School, I enoy computers and I know a bit but I want somethink more exciting, In my school when i was a younger, when the Teachers do there PPA time (dont know what it stands for but its were they plan the lessons…) we did ICT and History & Geography on the day, I thought about being a PPA coverage teacher for ICT (History & Geographty aren’t my thing either) but then I thought is it me though. What do you think I should go for. You’re probably thinking but I dont know you, just answer by looking at my test results and reading what I wrote, you guys know whats best.

One more thing I dont really want to be poor, I want a nice family a nice job and a nice car and
all nice things (’if you know what I mean’)

….thanks guys … would mean quite a lot to me.

Oh good, you took the test I suggested.

Out of those, you’re probably best suited for military training, security services. These things would probably be pleasurable for you because I believe you said your father is a cop. You get a lot of your preferences from your parents.

i had my introductory but next week is my proper lesson.

How was it for you? From then on did you realise becoming a pilot was for you?
Also do you think aged 17 [just turned] is ”old” for doing lessons now?
how many do you recommend doing in one month?

After my intro flight I was nothing but smiles and couldn’t wait to get started. I have to admit though, that not all parts of the training were always fun and I could feel both my blood and that of my instructor starting to boil at times, but I guess that’s all part of the training process. It can get very stressful at times and you may not grasp certain concepts immediately. Just keep in mind that most people don’t get certified in the minimum required time (average about 60 to 80 hours, I got mine in about 70) and be sure to save up, or have money in reserve for the extra expenditures.

There is also something else to be mindful of. From my experience, there are two kinds of post certified pilots. Many will get their pilots certificate and never fly again (i.e. they spent thousands of dollars for nothing). And then there are those, like me, that flying gets into their blood system like an incurable virus and you will forever want to keep flying (either as a hobby or as a living) and you might need to be prepared to spend a whole lot more money on training or for aircraft rental or purchase.

As for age and time. You only need to be 16 to start logging time so you are good to go. For how often, well, the longer it takes, the longer and more expensive it is. Flying is a degradable skill. If it’s not used, you loose it. Or at least you aren’t as proficient. If you don’t fly often then you may have to spend time brushing up on what you have learned or re learn it alltogether. So the more often you fly the better. Just be sure you can afford to do so.
