How to write letters of recommendation for high-school students | The White Rhino: A Chicago Latino English Teacher I hate this time of year. Week after week, my email is flooded with requests for letters of recommendation. It's not my students' fault. And I doubt these letters play a role anyway. One highly competitive college asks teachers to address the following questions in our evaluation: Has the student demonstrated a willingness to take intellectual risks and go beyond the normal classroom experience? Isn't this information that the student has already provided in one of the essays or somewhere else in the application? Many teachers work with students brainstorming, drafting, revising, editing, and building confidence so all of the information in the prompts above is usually revealed in the student's application. Yes, some students are on their own like I was back in 1990 when I filled out one college application. If a student is still on his or her own, the college gets enough other data to make a decision. To survive in teaching, I've learned to problem solve. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
10 Myers-Briggs Type Charts for Pop Culture Characters The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) is an instrument to define your personality along four parameters: (I) Introversion vs. (E) Extroversion, (N) Intuiting vs. (S) Sensing, (T) Thinking vs. (F) Feeling, and (J) Judging vs. Read how the test came to be in the mental_floss article Myers, Briggs, and the World's Most Popular Personality Test. 1. If there is any universe with an unlimited number of characters, it would be Game of Thrones. 2. The ponies of My Little Pony run the gamut of personalities. 3. A vast majority of the characters we love from The Lord of the Rings are heroes, but they all differ somewhat. 4. Fanpup gave us a personality chart for the characters of The Walking Dead. 5. This MBTI chart profiling the characters of the Harry Potter universe went viral a couple of years ago, credited to tumblr user Simbaga (the writer) and DeviantART user Makani (the artist), yet no original links for the chart exist anymore. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
How to Teach Yourself Anything in Less Than Three Months Self-education can be wonderful and frustrating at the same time. If you go about it correctly, you can teach yourself anything in just a few months. Poorly applied, however, self-education can be a stressful nightmare. I’d like to share my tips to achieve the former and avoid the latter. My self-education has been fairly extensive. I taught myself how to program computers, create graphics (3-D and 2-D), how to design web pages and blog. Self-education is good for just about any branch of knowledge or skills you want to acquire. Learn a new language. Learning something in only three months takes a bit more than casual trial-and-error. Know the end.

Derek Abbott's Animal Noise Page In different languages what do we say to mimic animal sounds? Below is the world's biggest multilingual list. A guiding principle behind this list is to visualise a comic book, in your language, and imagine what would be written in the text balloon coming from the mouth of an animal. For languages that use a different alphabet, I have tried to transliterate the word into the English alphabet for ease of comparison. A forward slash is used to separate alternative words. Please email me at dabbott(at)eleceng.adelaide.edu.au if you have any comments, corrections or additions. See also: In different languages what do we say when we tell an animal to do something? In different languages what are the most typical names we give to our pets or animals in children's story books?

Our World in Data — Visualising the Empirical Evidence on how the World is Changing Can Reading Make You Happier? Several years ago, I was given as a gift a remote session with a bibliotherapist at the London headquarters of the School of Life, which offers innovative courses to help people deal with the daily emotional challenges of existence. I have to admit that at first I didn’t really like the idea of being given a reading “prescription.” I’ve generally preferred to mimic Virginia Woolf’s passionate commitment to serendipity in my personal reading discoveries, delighting not only in the books themselves but in the randomly meaningful nature of how I came upon them (on the bus after a breakup, in a backpackers’ hostel in Damascus, or in the dark library stacks at graduate school, while browsing instead of studying). But the session was a gift, and I found myself unexpectedly enjoying the initial questionnaire about my reading habits that the bibliotherapist, Ella Berthoud, sent me. Bibliotherapy is a very broad term for the ancient practice of encouraging reading for therapeutic effect.
