Tips To Have Students Ask Better Questions. 911 Operator Takes Call From Terrified Teen And Hears Her Tapping On The Phone In Secret Code. 15-year-old Doyin was home alone when robbers broke into her house. Terrified, she quickly ran into her parent’s room and hid in their closet, crouching over as she dialed 911. The operator who picked up her call was 12-year veteran police dispatcher Angie Rivera. Angie immediately realized she needed to communicate with Doyin using a calm, reassuring voice.
As Doyin and Angie remained on the line, Angie could hear the intruders getting closer to the closet. She knew they both needed to keep the volume down, so as not to tip them off. Instead of talking, Angie came up with a brilliant idea. “Okay, don’t talk,” she instructed Doyin. Absolutely brilliant quick thinking. “I tried to whisper as much as I could,” Angie told reporters. Angie stayed on the phone with Doyin until police arrived to the home, and even after they found her hunched over in the closet.
Man Tracks Down People He Photographed in the Street 40 Years Ago to Recreate Their Pictures. In the late 1970s and 1980s, paramedic Chris Porsz spent hours walking around Peterborough, a city in eastern England, snapping the photos of the everyday passerby. From punks to policemen, the amateur photographer captured portraits of life that were endearing and honest. Now, almost 40 years later, Porsz—known as the “paramedic paparazzo”—has returned to his project, this time acting as both savvy sleuth as well as picture taker. Porsz has dedicated the last seven years to tracking down his former subjects and convincing them to strike that same pose from so long ago.
“I don’t think anyone else has tracked down so many strangers and recreated photos in this way before,” Porsz told Metro. It took “tenacious detective work, meticulous planning and, often, unbelievable coincidences,” but the results are a fascinating look at how people have changed—how they’ve grown up, split apart, and of course, changed their sense of style. Teen Boy Dies, But Then His Friends Tell Mom And Dad ‘There's A Video Online You Should See’
On August 8, 1993, Shawn and Deanne Breedlove gave birth to their baby boy, Ben. But their elation quickly turned to heartbreak when doctors diagnosed Ben with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a deadly heart defect. Doctors said Ben would suffer from the life-threatening condition for the rest of his life, and there was no cure. Instead of wallowing in worry, Shawn and Deanne decided to be thankful for each and every day and be grateful for their beautiful son. Alongside his older sister and younger brother, Ben grew up to become an active, bubbly, and sociable kid in Austin, Texas. In 2010, Ben began making video blogs and posting them to YouTube, in which he shared relationship advice to his peers. On the evening of Christmas 2011, Ben went into cardiac arrest at home while his family and friends were gathering there for Christmas dinner. In the days following their son’s death, Shawn and Deanne were asked what they thought of “the video.”

What’s the big deal about thinking about something that already happened? In our ’10 Characteristics Of A Highly-Effective Learning Environment‘, we suggested that learning habits–reflection, for example–were constantly present and modeled. 9.

Why the brain actually benefits from reflection is a matter of neurology, but the extensive research is clear: Prediction, reflection, and metacognition are pillars for the thoughtful classroom. Perhaps most crucially, by shifting their reflection from content to thought, students have the chance to put themselves back at the center of the learning process. 1. 2. 3. 4.
Fall in Love with This Teacher’s Text-Marking Activity | Scope Ideabook. Editor’s Note: Kim O’Bray’s colorful text marking activity is a key part of her close-reading process. Students engage deeply with the text by using colored pencils to mark everything from figurative language and unfamiliar vocabulary to central ideas and text structures. I really like this text-marking approach because it gets everyone on the same page and encourages students to ask questions and make their own connections. It works wonderfully with any nonfiction text. At the beginning of the year, I model each step for my students, especially for my 6th graders who are new to text-marking.
By the time my students are in 8th grade, the process has become second nature. What you’ll need: Any Scope nonfiction article. Key skills:finding text evidence, central ideas, text structure, figurative language, vocabulary, synthesizing, summarizing Time:Three, 45-minute class periods Day 1: Preview and summarize Set a purpose for reading.
