Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Today, there are many avenues open to thos

Of the many _(54)_ to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an e
33、ducational method, which allows the students the _(55)_ to study at his or her own pace to achieve the _(56)_ goals, which are so necessary in todays world.

35、 the inclusion of a subject _(60)_ tool with every subject. This precludes（排除） the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance-learning program is the _(61)_ of the distance-learning course with the same subject materials as those stud

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)A Teachers LessonWhen Mrs. Thompson stood in
42、 front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. But that was impossible, because there in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watch
43、ed Teddy the year before and noticed that he didnt play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. It got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, makin
44、g bold Xs and then putting a big F at the top of his papers. One day Mrs. Thompson was reviewing each childs past records and she put Teddys off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise. Teddys first grade teacher wrote, Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh.he
45、 is a joy to be around. His second grade teacher wrote, Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a serious illness and life at home must be a struggle. His third grade teacher wrote, His mothers death has been hard on him. He tries to do
46、his best but his father doesnt show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps arent taken. Teddys fourth grade teacher wrote, Teddy is withdrawn and doesnt show much interest in school. By now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt even
47、worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddys. His present was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. Mrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the ch
48、ildren started to laugh when she found a rhinestone(人造钻石) necklace with some of the stones missing. But she stopped the childrens laughter when she said aloud how pretty the necklace was and put it on. Teddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough to say, Mrs. Thompson, today you look
49、ed just like my Mom used to. After the children left she cried. From that very day, Mrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smart
50、est children in the class and, despite her lie that she would love all the children the same, Teddy became one her teachers pets. 65. When Mrs. Thompson started teaching her 5th grade class, she thought Teddy was _.A. bright and smartB. dirty and unpleasantC. quiet and shyD. sensitive and pitiful66.
51、 What did Mrs. Thompson learn from Teddys past records from other teachers?A. Teddy had difficulty in learning.B. Teddy was not interested in school.C. Teddy changed for a reason.D. Teddy was born in a poor family.67. The underlined word “clumsily” is closest in meaning to_.A. gracefullyB. carefully
52、C. especiallyD. awkwardly68. Which of the following can best explain the lesson Mrs. Thompson learned from Teddy?A. Warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.B. A life without love is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.C. It is the art of the teache
53、r to awaken joy in difficult situation.D. The best teachers are those who dont stop teaching when the bell rings.ExcerptINTRODUCTIONThe Freedom Writers Diary Teachers Guide takes students through a three-stage process that will maximize their understanding of The Freedom Writers Diary while supporti
54、ng the central message of tolerance. For best results, I suggest that you begin teaching the Engage Your Students activities first, following the order presentedwhich mirrors the timeline in The Freedom Writers Diary. The activities in Enlighten Your Students and Empower Your Students can then be ta
55、ught according to what best suits your individual curricular needs and weekly schedules. There are no specific time allotments designated for the activities presented in this Teachers Guide. Teachers can implement activities in one class period or over multiple days.The Engage, Enlighten, and Empowe
56、r ModelEngage Your Students: This section includes lesson plans and activities for you to share with your students before they begin reading The Freedom Writers Diary. The goal is to establish a collaborative and supportive academic environment that will draw your students into the learning process,
57、 help them make connections between who they are as individuals and who they are as students, and encourage them to discover commonalities with their classmates.Enlighten Your Students: This section offers lesson plans and activities that help students delve into literary themes, topics, and concept
58、s while reading The Freedom Writers Diary, and concludes with a unit on the film, Freedom Writers (2007). Due to its range of contents, Enlighten Your Students covers various categories for ease of use: writing, vocabulary, grammar, oral communication, culminating activities, and Freedom Writers fil
59、m activities. Students will practice different kinds of writing and public speaking, and become critical thinkers as they explore their own opinions, reasoning, and reactions within a “real world” context.Empower Your Students: This section encourages students to achieve positive changes in themselv
60、es and in their communities by bringing the outside world into the classroom, and taking their classroom into the world. Nontraditional activities, such as inviting a guest speaker into class or taking a field trip, can expose students to new social and academic perspectives.The Teachers Guide promo
61、tes a holistic approach to language arts: We integrate reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar with a variety of learning modalities, all focused on a common theme. Each lesson plan for the Engage, Enlighten, and Empower sections of the book contains five important educational elements: implementi
62、ng different learning modalities, the use of visual graphics, journal writing, adherence to academic standards, and authentic assessment. What follows are brief introductions to each of these elements.Learning ModalitiesMany of the Freedom Writers struggled with learning disabilities (dyslexia) or b
63、ehavioral challenges (Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). In addition, some were English Language Learners. As a new teacher, I desperately tried a variety of ways to engage my students and bring my activities to life.Little did I know that my wacky idea of bringin
64、g in two sandwiches and some clumsy drawings of sandwich ingredients to teach about writing would prove successful. Later, I found out why this technique worked. Dr. Howard Gardner, a Harvard professor, advanced the theory of multiple intelligences to illustrate that all human beings have a repertoi
65、re of skills for solving different problems; within these repertoires, however, individuals have different learning modalities. By bringing in sandwiches, sketches, and other elements to teach the writing process, I managed to activate my students linguistic, visual-spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, and
66、interpersonal learning modalities. (*)Following suit, your students will have opportunities to use different learning modalities as they move from activity to activity. Each lesson plan includes a list of materials that you will need, ranging from popular culture (music and movie clips), to food ite
67、ms (peanuts and Froot Loops), to art supplies (crayons and poster boards). Be sure to check ahead of time what you will need for each activity. We also suggest that you have a television and DVD player, a CD player, and a computer.Visual GraphicsI found that traditional note taking was often a signi
68、ficant challenge for the Freedom Writers. Allowing my students to process information and demonstrate their comprehension through visual techniques greatly enhanced the learning process. I am not artistic by any means, but I found that admitting my lack of talent seemed to bolster my students sense
69、of artist confidence. Suddenly, my creative students were tempted to submit their own visual graphics.We have included student-drawn visual graphics with each activity in this guide, as well as explanations for how to use them. Your students may think these visual graphics are corny, so play off the
70、ir reaction and challenge them to do better! Your students can create their own visual graphics for an activity using a black marker and blank sheet of paper. Add their names along with a copyright symbol at the bottom of the original, photocopy,and distribute to the class. Have contributors come to
71、 class early and draw their images on the board so that you can use the new graphic while modeling the activity for the class.Journal WritingTo mirror the Freedom Writer experience, we recommend that you provide journals for your students prior to reading The Freedom Writers Diary.By keeping journal
72、s, students learn to value writing as a process. Journal writing is an avenue through which your students can respond to events in their personal lives and in their academic lives. Because all the students will keep journals at the same time, they bond as a community of writers, reflecting on their
73、individual and shared experiences at school, at home, and in their neighborhoods.The license to write freely, without fear of criticism or judgment, is central to the success of student journals. The Freedom Writers method allows students to voice their own truths, however painful or awkward, in hon
74、est, unvarnished prose. Too often, I believe, writing is rewarded merely on the basis of standard spelling, punctuation, and usage. Teachers should also value vivid, forceful student writing that actually says something.Encouraging students to use their own voices unleashes their potential for power
75、ful self-expression and deeply effective storytelling.The Teachers Guide also includes activities that require students to use different writing styles in different contexts for different audiences. As students learn to edit their own and each others prose for a specific purpose, they develop skills
76、 essential to success in the classroom and beyond. Since many educators have used The Freedom Writers Diary as a launching pad to discuss specific themes and inspired journal writing in their classrooms, we have provided writing prompts for every diary entry in Appendix B.Academic StandardsThe Freed
77、om Writers Diary can easily be taught as literature on its own. However, using this Teachers Guide will help you fulfill the requirements established by English Language Arts national standards. The current trend in education is for all curricula to be standards-based. As teachers, we must abide by
78、the standards that our state and districts have adopted to ensure that our students are meeting their achievement goals in each academic area. We have aligned each activity in this guide with the Language Arts standards formulated by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE). Standards can
79、be daunting, something imposed from the outside. However, the language of the NCTE standards does a good job of emphasizing the learner at the center of the academic process.I understand that most states have their own specific standards, but there are also many commonalities that you will find refl
80、ected in the criteria listed in Appendix C. It is these common and interrelated themes that we address and that are specified in greater detail on the Web site for the National Council of Teachers of English: www.ncte.org.Authentic AssessmentStandardized tests are a reality of our educational system
81、. Regardless of how teachers may personally feel about the effectiveness of such testing programs, there is no way around them. But it does not follow that teaching to the test is the best way to educate our students, or even to help them achieve top scores. I believe that the best teaching and the
82、best learning happen when you teach to a student, not to a test.This Teachers Guide does not include quizzes, multiple-choice tests, or standardized essays. Instead, every activity is organized around the idea of authentic assessment. In authentic assessment, students are asked to demonstrate their
83、language arts skills through meaningful and relevant tasks; teachers, meanwhile, monitor the strengths and needs of their students as they progress from activity to activity.The Teachers Guide employs multiple forms of authentic assessment: Visual graphics: The graphics associated with each activity
84、 provide an immediate way of measuring the level of student engagement. Open-ended questions: Activities include open-ended language exercises that allow students to employ imagination, creativity, and critical thinking skills. Language arts assessment: A range of writing assignments, including inte
85、rviews, letter writing, and a feature story, provide opportunities for evaluating student progress in reading and writing. Portfolios: We suggest that all assignments be collected in portfolios as a way of tracking students developmental progress and showcasing students work at the end of the unit.
86、Portfolios welcome multiple audiences, including the student, classmates, teachers, and even parents. (We recommend that students use a three-ring binder to organize their portfolio.) Self-evaluation: An integral component of authentic assessment is self-evaluation, giving students an opportunity to
87、 review their academic progress.It is my firm belief that authentic assessment does not compete with, but rather enhances student performance on mandated tests. By honoring their reading, writing, and communication skills through meaningful activities in which they are fully engaged, students develo
88、p critical thinking skills that serve them in testing environments and in the world at large. Now Its Your TurnWithin the engaging, enlightening, and empowering lesson plans in the Teachers Guide, you will find the key ingredients for cooking up success in your own classroom. We want to emphasize th
89、at The Freedom Writers Diary and the accompanying Teachers Guide are not intended to serve as a substitute for your mandated curriculum, but rather as a means of enhancing that curriculum and encouraging your students to perform at the highest level. There is no one perfect model for every classroom
90、, so we look to you as independent educators to implement our lesson plans as you see fit.As a teacher, I was inspired by my students hearts, minds, and voices, which reverberate within the pages of The Freedom Writers Diary. In that spirit, I have tried to honor the hearts, minds, and voices of you
91、r students as they read The Freedom Writers Diary and engage in the activities contained in this Teachers Guide.Mandated ReportingYou must make your students aware of the fact that teachers are “mandated reporters” and therefore obligated by law to report cases of child abuse or neglect when and if
92、they become aware of such instances through their students communications (oral or written). This does not mean students are prohibited from such communications, only that they must be made aware of possible repercussions.*ENGAGE YOUR STUDENTSThe Engage Your Students lesson plans allow students to f
93、orge new friendships, create a community, and establish the foundation for a nurturing and collaborative learning environment before they begin reading The Freedom Writers Diary. Most students, especially those in their teens, tend to be reluctant to share their anxieties and vulnerabilities. These
94、activities challenge students to get out of their comfort zones and utilize all of their learning modalities. In doing so, a wealth of information about your students is revealed. This information will enable you to tap into your students experiences, sensibilities, and learning styles as a starting
95、 point for their explorations of literature and language. I highly recommend that you teach the lessons in the order presented: first you engage your students as individuals, then as partners with other students, next as collaborative groups, and finally as a cohesive community within the classroom.
96、 Visual Graphics: Each activity has an original visual graphic designed to promote student participation while enhancing the particular theme of the lesson. For best results, have students clear everything off their desks except for the visual graphic and other materials integral to the activity. Wh
97、ile students write or draw on their graphics, you will have an opportunity to walk around the room and assess their level of engagement and understanding. Vocabulary: Each activity contains vocabulary words that were inspired by the specific activity. The words are brought together at the end of the
98、 section in a culminating activity called Freedom Writer Bingo. These words will familiarize your students with concepts and terms useful for reading The Freedom Writers Diary. Journal Writing: After the inaugural What Makes Me Unique assignment, the journal writing prompts in this section are liste
99、d under the Assessments that conclude each activity. Journals serve as a way for students to reflect and expand upon their increasing awareness of themselves and their classmates. At the same time, teachers can use the journals to evaluate how much understanding and insight their students glean from
100、 each activity. Encourage your students to write in their journals every day about their experiences, thoughts, and feelings. This out-of-class “free writing” may yield some of your students best stories, which they can then revise for the Class Book, the culminating project for the Enlighten Your S
101、tudents section. Primetime Live DVD: Although this activity is optional, I have learned that teachers who use this video with their students have found it to be an exceptional motivational tool. (To order this DVD, please visit www.freedomwritersfoundation.org or .)*LESSON PLAN FORMATThe lesson plan
102、s for the Engage Your Students section of the Teachers Guide are presented in a consistent format for ease of implementation. Each contains the following components: Objective: Describes the overall goal of the activity. Backstory from Room 203: Provides context, background, and pedagogical reasonin
103、g behind the activity derived from my classroom. Ms. Gs Tips: Provides anecdotal advice from my personal experience. What Youll Need: List of required materials. Process: Step-by-step explanation of how to do each activity. Visual Graphic Instructions: Brief summary of how to use our student-generat
104、ed visual graphics. Vocabulary: Lists of words that we suggest embedding into each lesson. Assessment: Journaling topics that assess student comprehension. Taking It Further: Explores ideas that go beyond the activity for further understanding.Each lesson in the Engage Your Students section also has
105、 a sidebar that contains comments from The Freedom Writers Diary, the Freedom Writers themselves, and the Freedom Writer Teachers. Freedom Writer Feedback: Comments from the Freedom Writers recalling the impact these lessons had on them. Freedom Writers Diary Quotations: A passage from the book illu
106、strating the Freedom Writers experience. Teacher Talk: Comments from our Freedom Writer Teachers in the field who have implemented these lessons with their students. National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Standards: At the end of each lesson, you will find a list of the NCTE standards that a
107、re met by each activity. Excerpted from The Freedom Writers Diary Teachers Guide by Erin Gruwell and The Freedom Writers Foundation.
