Best Buddies at EKU

Since most, if not all, of us are majoring in Special Education, I thought that this group would be of interest to you. It's called Best Buddies and it is kinda like Big Brother/Big Sister for young adults with disabilities. It is geared toward giving  these young adults a chance to make friends in college, since they do not have the ability to go to college and do so on their own.

If you are interested, I included the link below. It's our Facebook page and will contain any information you need to know about meetings and events. If you have any additional questions, feel free to e-mail me at jessica_coots3@mymail.eku.edu, as well as e-mail our president Mollie Kuebler at mollie_kuebler@mymail.eku.edu.

Pragmatics Analysis - Michael Halliday

When you do an analysis of pragmatics you are looking a child's competency in the "use" of language.  You look at their proficiency or ability to participate in conversation as well as their competency with the functions of language.

If you do an analysis of a child's pragmatic skills you will use Michael Halliday’s taxonomy of the functions of language to determine which functions the child demonstrates within the sample of language you capture.  Use the website at the link to provide you additional information.

Test 2

Does anyone know when Ms. White is reopening the test so we can make corrections?

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations Mrs. White!
Your promotion is a promotion for us too!  We have experienced your level of excellence and you are the reminder to dedicate and rededicate ourselves to the craft of teaching!  I appreciate the assessment tool you have guided me to.  You are a resource that I will utilize often! Thank you

Pragmatics Help

I'm analyzing pragmatics for my Language Sample Project, and I was wondering what "Halliday" meant on the worksheet. It's in the first sentence under the title "2. Function of Language." The answer to this question might be really obvious, but I'm a bit confused.

Wonderful Video on stopping the "R-word"

**This is a really awesome video about the "R-word". We talked about mental retardation today in class and it reminded me of this film clip. I hope you all can appreciate this video as much as I do!!

What the Heck?!

Apparently I had the wrong dates wrote down for the observation and the language sample. So the observation is due next monday the 26th correct? Gosh I cannot believe I messed that up!

Language Sample

Has anyone NOT started their sample yet???

Test Two

I am struggling with the semantics question!! Can anyone provide some clarification of the question.

Out of the loop

Hey SED 260: I have missed this pass Monday due to death in my family. I missed a very important class. I see we have a test. Prayerfully all I need is to open test and nothing new was introduced on Monday. I hope everyone faired well during the horrible weather we had on 3/2/2012.

Test 2

Good evening,

I have had a fit with my scanner this week trying to scan in the language sample excerpt I passed out in class.  I do not have or can't find the electronic sample to upload.

So, I have emailed it to everyone tonight with directions for the ENTIRE test and how to complete it. 

I'm also uploading it here to the blog. 

BE CERTAIN to read your email and follow the directions for HOW you are to complete this portion with the answer sheet.

Also remember you MUST complete the TWO questions on Blackboard as well.

THIS IS A TWO PART TEST :)

SED Classes

This semester I am taking ASL, SED 337, and SED 260. Because all of these classes are so closely related there are people taking most, if not all, of these classes this semester. I have gotten to know a number of people through these three classes, and I'm really appreciative of that!

Tornado

Hey! I was just wondering if anyone else was affected by the recent tornado activities? I know it hit hard where I live and was very scary! Thank God it didn't hit my house, but people I know and am close with lost everything they owned plus loved ones. It's just scary to think that in the blink of an eye everything can be gone!

Gentle Reminder

Before posting on a topic please browse the other posts to make sure there are no other posts relative to this.  This helps and saves me time in posting only once in response to it :)  THANKS

Test

I wasn't able to come to class Monday and I was just wondering where to find the test. Thanks :)
