  1. 3-2-1 Research Reports   This is a good strategy because it asks you to identify:   3 things you found out   2 interesting things you learned   1 question you still have   I liked this one because it is a great way to identify your learning experience.   2. 3 Minute Pause   This strategy asks you to pick one or more of the following :   I changed my attitude about...   I became more aware of...   I was surprised about...   I felt...   I related to...    I empathized with...   I liked this one because it is another great one to identify your learning process.   3. Black-Out Poem   This one asks you to leave out key words that are important or stand out to you, and black out the others; so in the end you create a blackout poem.

Now, anything and everything costs, and a lot of times the costs exceed the amount a person has. Depending on the district, depends on how much money a school receives. The reason I say the money a school gets depends on the district is because depending on the location of the district, a school may not get as much funding; if it's a poorer area they have little to no funding, in richer areas they have decent funding compared to the other areas. In the selection of articles from the class module this week, one of the articles that stood out,and was a great example is the one linked below. The article explained how Texas funds schools in a really great way that people can understand. I feel like even with the schools who don't have great funding, it all depends on the effort teachers give to the students' education, because wi...
