One of the most important things that children learn in school is how to read. Teaching reading strategies to young students can help prepare them for the rest of their academic career, and depending on the effectiveness of the reading strategies, it can set students up to succeed (or not). Teacher professional development for teaching reading strategies is critical to equip students with the skills they need in all areas of their education.There are a few different types of students that teachers will have to learn to teach reading strategies to. First, there are the students that are behind in their reading skills. In our society it is so important to be literate, and you cannot get an advanced education unless you master reading skills. The ability to read is inherent in all people, so it is possible to teach anyone to read - those that are struggling probably just need some extra attention, extra patience, and extra motivation. You need to let these students know that you have high expectations of them and that you will help them to succeed.For students that are reading at their grade level, you can still help them to improve. Often teachers focus too much on the students that...more

Acting is the work of an actor or actress, which is a person in theatre, television, film, or any other storytelling medium who tells the story by portraying a character and, usually,speaking or singing the written text or play. Most early sources in the West that examine the art of acting (Ancient Greek: hypokrisis) discuss it as part of rhetoric.[1]Definition and historyThe first actor is believed to be an ancient Greek of Icaria. An apocryphal story says that Thespis stepped out of the dithyrambic chorus and spoke to them as a separate character. Before Thespis, the chorus narrated (for example, "Dionysus did this, Dionysus said that"). When Thespis stepped out from the chorus, he spoke as if he was the character (for example, "I am Dionysus. I did this"). From Thespis' name derives the word thespian.Acting requires a wide-range of skills, including , clarity of speech, physical expressivity, an emotional facility, a well-developed imagination, and the ability to interpret drama. Acting also often demands an ability to employ dialects, accents and body language, improvisation, observation and emulation, mime, and stage combat. Many actors train at length in...more
