    Description is the pattern of narrative development that aims to make vivid a place, object, character, or group. Description is one of four rhetorical modes, along with exposition, argumentation, and narration. In practice it would be difficult to write literature that drew on just one of the four basic modes.

  • Soundtrack of Your Life
    Create a playlist of songs that really represent your life. These can be songs that have resonated with you throughout the different phases of your life, songs that either remind you of or specifically speak to things you've been through, songs that you have loved throughout your life, and so on. You can then decide whether you want the songs to be mixed around or in chronological order. This kind of playlist can also be a great way to give your listeners a glimpse into your life

  • Technological advancements.
    Technologies. People often ask, what exactly do you mean by “breakthrough”? It’s a reasonable question—some of our picks haven’t yet reached widespread use, while others may be on the cusp of becoming commercially available. What we’re really looking for is a technology, or perhaps even a collection of technologies, that will have a profound effect on our lives. For this year, a new technique in artificial intelligence called GANs is giving machines imagination; artificial embryos, despite some thorny ethical constraints, are redefining how life can be created and are opening a research window into the early moments of a human life; and a pilot plant in the heart of Texas’s petrochemical industry is attempting to create completely clean power from natural gas—probably a major energy source for the foreseeable future. These and the rest of our list will be worth keeping an eye on

  • Children with ADHD require specific and frequent feedback and/or reinforcement immediately following the demonstration of desired behaviors. When students are learning new behaviors, it is generally important to reinforce close approximations first as a way to shape behavior. Once a behavior is established, the frequency of reinforcement can be gradually decreased. Students with ADHD tend to quickly lose interest with repetition, so a variety of easy-to-implement reinforcers should be considered.

  • ADHD Students and Classroom Considerations
    The culture of the classroom can either support or create barriers to student success (Piffner,2011).    Factors that foster attention, positive behavior, and academic and social success includeestablishing positive relationships with students, adopting classroom management techniques,and creating a physical arrangement that facilitates learning. It is often a positive relationship with one teacher that facilitates school success for a studentwith ADHD (Piffner, 2011).    When teachers connect with students and appreciate their unique skills and interests, students are more likely to strive for achievement and positively respond to classroom rules and procedures. When using a proactive approach to classroom management, teachers support all students andcreate conditions that prepare them for learning (Piffner, 2011).    Some strategies for positive management include clear directions, meaningful feedback, and opportunities for collaboration with peers. Here are some others.

  • Contemporary Chicano writers
    Chicano literature, or Mexican-American literature, refers to literature written by Chicanos in the United States. Although its origins can be traced back to the sixteenth century, the bulk of Chicano literature dates from after the 1848 United States annexation of large parts of Mexico in the wake of the Mexican–American War. Today, this genre includes a vibrant and diverse set of narratives, prompting critics to describe it as providing "a new awareness of the historical and cultural independence of both northern and southern American hemispheres"
