Have students explain their model to their group, particularly how each method means the same but might be more appropriate in certain situations. This can be done in small, medium and large groups, and also allows students to improve communication skills.
6. On a given worksheet, allow students to peer assess their performance, then meet and discuss the results and ways to improve. By reviewing other student's performance, sometimes the individual weaknesses one student may have are mitigated. This changes the way students often approach a problem, as well as engendering empathy skills.
7. Think-Pair- Share -- at the think stage, instructor asks a question and asks students to think about it for a few minutes, writing notes, etc. If needed. Then students pair up to discuss their approach to the problem; finally, students share with the class in a communications interaction activity. The sharing and pairing often provide differing points-of-view for the lesson.
8. Use blocks or other manipulatives; ask students to visually represent a group of ratios using the manipulatives (Kinesthetic learning). Alternatively, students could visually represent the process. Using manipulatives also offers an alternative explanation of how ratios or other mathematical processes work.
9. Make four broad statements about ratios (formation, use, etc.). Post these one at a time; have students...
A sample of 25 intelligible utterances obtained during an observation in the clinic, in which Jay played and interacted with his mother, provided the basis for the language analysis. The following assessments were conducted: MLU, DSS, Correct/Incorrect Form Analysis, and Type Token Ratio. Mean Length of Utterance (MLU). Although Roger Brown's five stages of language development differ from the scoring used in the MLU interpretation in this paper, Jay is scores
Noam Chomsky's Language Criteria - Do Animals Have Language? Philosophers and scientists have long wondered whether animals were capable of communicating with each other in the form of language. However, research regarding both the cranial and cognitive capacity of higher mammals suggests that these animals are capable of many cerebral functions that used to be the purview of humans. This paper argues that higher mammals like primates, dolphins and whales are capable

The program primarily supports the local Chinese communities to maintain younger generation's heritage background, and spreading Chinese culture in the U.S. The classes are normally held two to three hours on weekends with Chinese language lessons and other traditional cultural and art activities. Most students have high levels of oral proficiency in Chinese, but needed to enhance skills in literacy. Chinese heritage schools are mainly supported by two groups:
U.S. technology in Thai hospitals will have a positive, negative or neutral effect on the mortality rate of patients in Thailand. U.S. hospitals currently offer patients some of the most modern and complex technology available. Patients whether at private or public facilities are very often afforded modern urgent care that reduces the likelihood of mortality from common and less common illness. The mortality ratio, or comparison of patients admitted
