How much sleep should I have?

I’m 14 BTW.

I really want to watch this film tommorrow morning before school so I’m planning to sleep 9pm until 4.30 or 5am; is this enough sleep?

It gives me the 3hrs to watch my film, and if I’m tired I will just fall asleep at school if I have the correct lessons for that (English Type One, Spanish, R.E, Geography, Science) anyways, is this enough sleep.

We usually sleep 6-8 hours a day on average. One third of our life time we spent on sleeping. If you sleep at 9pm, you should have plenty of sleep by the time you wake up at 4:30.

What is the difference between lessons and training?

I have been interested in taking up horseback riding lessons since the age of five, but my mom has never had the money. This summer, I would like to maybe take lessons, but not just one lesson. I love horses to death, but don’t have a clue as to how to ride them. When I was looking online, and I saw different sections for lessons, and training. What is the difference? Is training meant for the horse, or you becoming a professional?

Training means for the horse. However, when some people say "my trainer" they mean their instructor, cause most instructors also train.

Can a lesson plan for Elemenatry Art be creative?

admin — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 19:21:16 +0000

I am writing up a lesson plan for Art for Elementary teachers class. Do you think I can use word art to make the lesson plan look artistic or does it need to look professional?

Since you’re writing it for an adult class, I would say keep it professional but you can include examples of what they can do to give them some sort of visual.

Where can i find lesson plan about teaching grammar in english as foreign language?

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 21:23:24 +0000

hi.i would like know where i can find lesson plans.i attend seminars about teaching english to speakers of other language.and i need a lesson plan about teaching grammar based on the Communicative Language Teaching.could anyone help me?

This very much depends on the level of the class, what they need to know and so on.

However, the link below is a good start. It’s a total beginners class and, using the communicative approach, teaches them basic phrases to get on with. You can use the same ideas to move up a few notches and try the Passive Voice example as well.

What are my chances of getting into Duke University?

I’m a junior in high school right now, my high school transcript is:

-Algebra II (A,A)
-AP Human Geography (A,A) (4)
-Novice Debate & Forensics (A,A)(Policy Debate/Lincoln Douglas Debate/International Extemp)
-Art I (A, A)
-Pre-AP English I (A,B)
-Biology I (B, A)
-Physical Education I (A, A)
(All for 2 semesters each) *(Letter, Letter; are the grades received in the class at each semester.)
Sophomore Year
-Pre-AP Calculus and Trigonometry (B, A)
-AP World History (A, A) (5, score for AP Test)
-Pre-AP English II (A, A)
-Advance Debate and Forensics (A, A) (Policy Debate/International Extemp/Congress)

I scored a 32 on the ACT and a 2250 on the SAT, I plan to take AP test for U.S. Gov, Lit&Comp, and calculus BC. I’m pretty confident in getting a 4 or 5 on each of those.

Next Year I’m taking AP Humanities, AP Physics, AP European History, Advance Debate, AP Psychology, Chinese III, (and one semester of College Calculus III through William Jewell College, provided the credit will transfer to Duke University). I will most likely take each of those AP test as well. I plan on volunteering at several different affiliations in the next year and I’ll be the captain/head varsity of my debate team, as well as almost guaranteed a national spot due to the majority of my competition this year graduating. I also plan on trying to join the Duke Debate Team if I’m accepted. I hope to apply early decision if my chances of acceptance are strong. Any Suggestions that might help?
Also I plan on majouring in Political Science and Philosophy

Spencer, congrats on the 5 in AP World History. At my score, the passing rates are abysmal and hardly anyone gets a 3!!!

I don’t have any suggestions for you. You seem to know what you’re doing. Applying early decision will definitely increase your chances of getting in, although I think that they’d be crazy if they didn’t take you.

Yay! You’re earning college credits!

What kind of dance lessons are good to teach babies and toddlers?

admin — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 00:06:31 +0000

I recently got a job teaching children and babies at a daycare how to dance. I want to start incorporating lessons into my classes, as well as change up the exercises each week. What kinds of things should I be trying to teach babies, and what kinds of things should I be trying to teach children from 3-5 years old?

Don’t expect amazing things from 3-5 year olds.

Here’s RADs pre-primary syllabus:
Running in a circle
Running en diagonale
Walking with stretched feet
Walking on demi-pointe
Skips
Demi-plies
Rises
Points
Knee bends
Jumps
Bounces
Claps
Marches
Pony steps
Pony trots
Pony galops

Here’s the primary:
Swaying
Step close step point
Knee lifts
Stork walks
Sautes
Echappes sautes
Spring points
Galops sideways
Jumps with eye focus
Skip change of step

Here’s grade 1:
Battlements tendus
Petit jetes
Bivided battlements tensud
Transfer of weight
Classical walks
Swaying
Spinning
Soubresauts
Galops forward
Step forward (heel toe)
Picked up runs

For babies, focus on rhythm and movement. Clapping in time, counting to 4, bouncing in time, ‘free dance’ to music, happy feet and sad feet (pointed and flexed), pretending to be animals /ghosts /trees /princesses /butterflies, etc.

What are some songs to sing to a 3-4 yr old class?

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 04:32:59 +0000

I have to do a music/movement lesson plan and I need as many ideas as I can possibly get. An example would be like "Head, shoulders, knees and toes" but I can not do this one since someone else is already doing it. It is for a college class I am in.

Dear Stephanie,

The Learning Station, specializes in music and movement activities and will be perfect for what you’re looking for. This link goes to all of their FREE illustrated printable activity sheets. This will make it real easy for you and your assignment. Simply choose your favorite and print as many copies as you need. I print a copy of each movement song for each child to bring home and share with their family.: http://learningstationmusic.com/printablehandouts.html

Besides music and movement activities galore, there are activities for everything from simple sign language (ASL), math, language, science and much more! Even songs that promote positive behavior, healthy snack recipes and brain boosting music activities.

You will be a total HIT if for your lesson plan you do this really cool movement song, Tony Chestnut. This is the song our children perform at graduation and the families watching have a royal blast. The next day they post videos all over YouTube of their children performing Tony. This link goes to the songs lyrics and movement.

Tony Chestnut is by far my schools preschoolers and kinders favorite song. "Tony Chestnut" is on the CD, "Tony Chestnut & Fun Time Action Songs". It’s not a person’s names; it is a play on names. The tune invites active participation as it reveals new meaning, in the form of a movement to names. You point to your toe, knee, chest, nut (head), nose, eye and then who you love. It continues with other names including, Eileen (lean to the side), Neil (kneel), Pat (pat your shoulders), Bob (bob your head back and forth), Russell (move your legs back and forth and Skip (skip in place).

The catchy refrain starts out slowly, introducing each witty movement and then becomes more challenging as the speed picks up. And with the fast paced verses rapidly in motion, so ignites the explosion of fun and laughter!

Here’s a YouTube videos where you can see Tony Chestnut performed by the children:

Here’s a link to The Learning Station’s CD download of Tony Chestnut:

I also came across this brand NEW release, The Book About Tony Chestnut! The children actually interact with the character in the story! And I LOVE the British story teller!!

Smiles for a super lesson plan!

What should I expect on my first guitar lesson?

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 04:32:48 +0000

I’m going to my first guitar lesson today! I was just wondering is there was anything I should know. I already know most major chords and one minor chord,and my fingers have toughened up(laugh). So should I just go with the flow or say anything that should be said? Thanks for your advice,

you don’t need to know anything. your teacher will assume you don’t know much. i take semi-private lessons with an instructor in her home and i think that lessons are well worth it. your teacher will be able to give you much more advice than you could ever give yourself.

What is the spirital lesson on missing someone?

admin — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 06:20:59 +0000

Also, what is the spiritual lesson in wanting someone you can not have?

Learning to accept what is, when you cannot change it, will give you peace. Of course, this also means you need to be able to assess when you can or cannot change it.

When something involves the will of another person, the limit is reached if you are being honest and fair with them. Wanting someone you cannot realistically have is part of growing up. It is common, for example, for people to have fantasies about having a relationship with someone famous. It helps define what you really admire. But if you fixate on one person to the extent that you do more than perhaps write a fan letter, you set yourself up for disappointment and possibly criminal charges.

That’s why celebrities need bodyguards.
