Stages of Literacy             Traditionally, mainstream handbooks and dictionary define literacy as the ability to read and write. As a way of incorporating the context, UNESCO defines literacy as the ability to identify, interpret, create, understand, compute, and communicate using written and printed materials associated with different contexts. From the above definition, it is evident that literacy is a complex process. As a result, literacy is a process that develops in five stages. STAGE 1: INITIAL READING, WRITING, AND DECODING       The first literacy stage typically occurs when the child is between six and seven years old. During this stage, the child learns the relation between sounds and letters as well as between spoken words and print.  The child can only comprehend simple texts containing words that are frequently used and that are phonically regular. At this level, children use insight and skills to “sound out” new vocabularies. In terms of reading, the child at this stage can move from free scribbling to controlled scribbling, and lastly, to nonphonetic letter strings (De Souza and Gilberto). STAGE 2: CONFIRMATION AND FLUENCY…

Project Execution, Control, & Closure Project summary Tracking athletes has become a hurdle for many coaches and event organizers for some time now. The only thing that remains constant is that the monitoring period of an athlete can be narrow using individual approaches. Several benefits can derive from monitoring athletes. First, it leads to concise and effective communication between the staff and athletes. Second, monitoring reduces illness and injuries by observing changes and trends. Third, monitoring improves training outcomes by controlling power and fatigue with greater precision. Lastly, monitoring helps coaches to understand the kind of training every athlete needs and the recovery processes of athletes (Hallén & Ekstrand, 2014). This project will, therefore, attempt to elaborate on the development of systems to track an athlete’s position as he/she runs on a race track or moves around a football pitch. The track performance software will be embedded in specially designed shoes or clothes. It will provide tactical data on how the athlete utilizes the field, as well as their velocity, which will update coaches on the training requirements. Challenges The…

  Whether Sanctions Are Suitable in UK Primary Schools A sanction may include deprivation of some privileges like sports, breaks, removal form class, detention, or confiscation of prohibited materials in school.  It can also be when students are given some activities to complete by the teachers (Miller, Ferguson, and Simpson1998). The sanction is not a good way to correct students in schools as it has negative consequences in both psychology and the academic levels of students.  This, therefore, means that the school administrations in the United Kingdom have to put in place the best alternative method of correcting students whenever they veer off the required norms in the school. The focus of this paper is to provide reasons for avoiding sanctions in United Kingdom schools. Can Primary Schools Give Detentions and the Point of Detention?

Appropriations and transformation of Shakespeare’s Caliban Who is Caliban? Caliban is one of the famous characters of the play “The Tempest” which was written by Shakespeare. It pictured on a strange island and surrounded by oceans. The Tempest is one of the most intriguing plays out of all Shakespeare plays. (“Prospero’s dark”, 2019) Caliban is a strange character of poetic imagination. His personality is malicious. He is also a coward and such a liar. Caliban also looks like a weird fish in some early parts of the play. But later, it gets clear that he is not a fish (“Listening to”, 2018). It seems as an islander who suffered from thunder. In other characters, we see it as a freckled monster (Jenna, 2014). In the play, we see The Caliban as only a real native of that island. He is the only son of a witch and evil Sycorax.

Benefits of Heartbreak             Everyone has felt broken in two, empty and hollow, like if everything that ever mattered did not exist anymore because a loved one has abandoned them. Everyone can relate because it is natural for heartbreak to traumatize a person from trying to venture out again, and transforms into a form of pain and loneliness. Pain and loneliness can lead a person down a path of isolation or worse, suicide. One of that pain comes from a feeling that we all felt once in our life, love (Field, 217). We were taught that not all things in the world are free and sacrifice is required to achieve that state of love. That’s why many sacrifice a part of themselves when it comes to love to obtain true happiness. Therefore, everyone should embrace the feeling of the heartbreak because it is beneficial to help understanding the fundamentals of life, mature, guide, strengthen a person psychologically, and support a person find his or her true value (Field, 217). A broken heart teaches a fundamental lesson of life that helps…
