Date of Publication:
Book: GIFT OF FIRE 
Sections read: Atrials

1.       (Knowledge)Tell three interesting elements of this chapter:
a.       Miranda was suspended from school because she said I love you in her native languages   
b.      Miranda was also suspended  from her basketball game just for talking to a classmate 
c.         

2.       (Comprehension) Summarize what is being discussed within this chapter?
This atrial is about a kid who upset the white lady because the kid speaks   form languages in the classroom. The child is many difficulty to deal with i think that is why the teacher don't like her. the only thing we know as a reader is that the child was throw out because  the was talk in other language instated of speaking English, but we all know  that there is more to it is not just about the language that she speak in the class room.


3.       (Application)Name a specific example or NEW solution for this type of problem/similar situation in society or that you have experienced – be specific and explain?

All students in school should be able to speak English no other languages because students go to schools to learned English. If student don’t speak English how would they learned to speak the languages or understand something in English.  By speaking English in the classrooms out will allowed students to improve their skills and help them to become more fluent in the English languages? 


4.       (Analysis)Address ANY that apply. How can you compare one of the situations in this chapter to something that does not relate to computers, technology, or the Internet? Be sure to reference the chapter and your solution. What ideas NEW can you add to the issue that is being presented within the reading? Try to connect what you have by reading this article and how it applies to the stages in Bloom's taxonomy in 2 full sentences. 

I would like to add to this issue that no one should be throw out of class because the speak some other language unless the student is really being difficulty in the class room while the teacher is trying to teach and the student is talking to his/her classmate during class. Other than that teacher can't throw student out because they speak different language. 

5.       (Synthesis) Address all that apply. Do you agree with what is being said within the article (Why/Why not? Back up with FACTS)?  What new conclusions can you draw about this (or other topics) after reading this material?

     I agree with this atrial for what has been said because when students who English are their scorned languages they should try to speak English not their native languages, but I don’t agree on their action or what the teachers did to Miranda. Teachers shouldn’t suspend Miranda from school because she didn’t speak English.


6.       (Evaluation) Address all that apply. Judge whether or not this topic is relevant in today’s society? Evaluate why you are viewing the topic in this manner based on your experiences. What ethical evaluations (see Chap1-1.4 for exp of Ethics) or decisions were made/can be assumed from this chapter?  What new ideas will you make after reading this chapter?
        This topic is still happening in today society we have students who are second languages in English and if you walk in the class room you will see almost everyone in the classroom are non-English speaker. They can’t learn English because they all speak the same languages there is no way that they would speak English in the classroom to each other because they don’t understand English.
