The eighth class
30 July, 2013
Today, teacher explain about the process of making
learning. The first is standards and indicators. The second is task. The third
is design process or activities and the last is evaluation. The fourth things
are important for making a class. Then, when teacher give knowledge to
students, my friends go to present about lesson plan that is they are teacher
and students in class are students follow that teacher want to teach. There are
just 3 people that can presentation because in class must be have discuss when
my friends teach finish. It’s use a long time for discussion.
There are 4 process of making learning. The first is
standards and indicators; teacher fix on what students can learn and students
can do something. The second is task such as, assay, letter, picture, graph and
etc. by using speaking, reading, listening, discussion or sing. The third is
design process or activities that is teach is steps such as, presentation,
practice, production by explain how do each steps. And the last is evaluation
by using Rubric that is basic criteria of evaluation’s teaching language. When
my friends go to teach in front of class, I can know many things about teaching
from my friends. For example, I can know about speaking is important. If
teacher speak not clear, students can’t know and do follow the teacher order. I
think, objective is important because teacher can’t evaluate students can or
not.
When teacher give example about applying teaching in
class of my friends, it can make me understand about teaching method more and
can bring appropriate material to lesson plan. In each steps of process of
making learning must be clear and easy to understand. I think, there are many
things that important to make a lesson plan for teaching. But the objective is
the most important because it can evaluate abilities of students that they can
do more or less. Teaching of teacher is also important because teacher must
know many things to make class such as, selecting material, technique and
method of teaching.

School Lunch Important for Health and Education
Welcome to As It Is, your daily magazine show
from VOA Learning English.
I'm June Simms. Today we hear about two studies on
childhood hunger and its effects on educational development and the world
economy.
We
begin with a story out of Dakar, Senegal. School Lunch Important for Health and
Education Educators in low-income areas everywhere struggle with one of the most
basic barriers to teaching children -- hungry students. The United Nations
World Food Program says in its 2013 State of School Feeding Worldwide report
that supplying meals and snacks to students has proven valuable. Researchers in
Dakar, Senegal agree. They found that supplying free lunches to students in
rural primary schools not only made them healthier, it raised their test
scores. Avi Arditti has more.
During the 2009-2010 academic years,
researchers in Senegal did an experiment. They selected 120 rural primary
schools in four of the poorest areas of the country. Students at half the
schools received free, daily lunches -- a local dish of rice with vegetables
and either fish or meat, cooked in oil. Students at the other 60 schools did
not receive meals.
Abdoulaye Diagne is the director of the
Consortium for Social Economic Research in Dakar. He led the study. He says
students who received school meals were better able to memorize and reason. He
says they learned and understood more than those students who did not receive
meals. The study found that standardized test scores went up an average of 7
percentage points in French and 8.5 percentage points in math. The effect was
even greater for girls and for the youngest students.
The World Food Program says that about $75
billion goes into school feeding programs each year worldwide. Most of this
money comes from governments. However, the WFP says only 18 percent of children
in the poorest countries receive a daily meal at school. This compares to
nearly half of children in middle-income countries. Bettina Luescher is with
the World Food Program.
"School meals are a crucially important
part and play a huge role in schools around the world. It means, in
practicality, kids can concentrate. They can study. They stay in school. They
will send their own children to school one day. Girls will have fewer children
if they have school meals and an education; they marry at a later stage. And
there's a huge impact on how they grow up to become strong, smart adults."
Luescher says
that school feeding programs also help protect children from crises -- like
droughts, war, or sudden increases in food prices. "School meals are a way
of keeping children in school. It's often the only way that families can afford
to keep their children fed. Sometimes it's the only meal that some of these
children get."
The big problem, of course, is cost. This is
especially true in low-income countries. However, the WFP estimates that for
every dollar spent on a school meal, countries will see three dollars in
economic returns. Local farmers, for example, can sell their food to the school
meal programs, and the country can build a smarter workforce. I'm Avi Arditti.
And
I'm June Simms. You are listening to As It Is from VOA Learning English.
Effects of Childhood Malnutrition Far Reaching and Lasting, about one-quarter
of the world's children may under perform at school because of poor nutrition.
So says a new report from the Britain-based charity Save the Children.
The
"Food for Thought" report says a malnourished child is almost 20
percent more likely to have trouble reading than someone of the same age who
has a good diet. David McNair is head of growth, equity and livelihoods at Save
the Children UK. "Those who are
malnourished consistently have scored lower on math tests and find it more
difficult to read a simple sentence at age eight. And as they go through life
that affects their confidence, their career aspirations and ultimately their
ability to earn money."
The
report is based on an international study of childhood poverty. Researchers
from the University of Oxford are leading the "Young Lives" study.
They are following the lives of 12,000 children in Ethiopia, India, Peru, and
Vietnam over a 15-year period. The report notes that the period from when a
woman becomes pregnant until a child is two years old is an important time for
brain development. But McNair says the effect of malnutrition goes beyond the
biology of the brain.
"There is interesting evidence on the
stimulus that children receive. So because children who are malnourished look
smaller, their parents and their caregivers tend to treat them as if they were
younger than they are. And that means they do not get the right stimulus and
their brains are not developing as a result of that stimulus." The report
says childhood malnutrition is also a major threat to the long-term economic
growth of many developing countries.
United Nations figures suggest that last year
nearly 50 percent of children under five in southern Asia were stunted, too
short for their age because of poor nutrition. This was also the case for 40
percent of children under five in sub-Saharan Africa. Save the Children
predicts that malnourished children may, as adults, earn 20 percent less than
children who were properly fed. It says this costs the global economy more than
$100 billion a year.
McNair says targeting malnutrition now will
have major long-term effects. But, currently nutrition programs get just over
0.3 percent of global development spending. Save the Children wants spending on
nutrition to more than double to $1 billion a year. Earlier this week, the
British and Brazilian governments held the first-ever high-level nutrition
pledging conference. They say it is a first step in moving malnutrition to a
higher level as an important economic and social development issue. VOA World
News is coming up at the beginning of the hour Universal Time.

School Lunch
Important for Health and Education
Reading skill
Children usually
need variety of nutrients for repairing their brain or body. Some students also
get beneficial meals for memorizing something best while some students get free
school lunch. According to Dakar Senegal said that school lunch is important
for health and education. The United Nations World Food Program announces in
2013 state of school feeding worldwide report that supplying meals and snacks
to students has proven valuable. Researchers in Dakar, Senegal agree with the
United Nations World Food Program announce that supplying meals and snacks to
students has proven valuable. Supplying
free lunches for students in primary schools is way to help them being
healthier and increasing scores.
In
year 2009-2013, there is an experiment by researchers. They select 120 primary
schools from 4 poorest areas in the country. Sixty students received free,
daily lunches (rice with vegetables and either fish or meat, cooked in oil.)
But 60 students did not receive meals. Abdoulaye Diagne, the director of the
Consortium for Social Economic Research in Dakar says students, who received
school meals were better able to memorize, learn and understand more than those
students receive meals. Bettina Luescher is with the World Food Program. School
meals are important for playing or learning in large activities. Kids can
concentrate in practicality. In addition, The "Food for Thought"
report says a malnourished child is almost 20 percent have trouble reading than
someone of the same age who has a good diet. Food is important for children.
Finally, student schools that are poor should
get free school lunch supporting from the government. Receiving enough
beneficial food is important for growing to be adults in the future. Children
should get nutrients enough in motivation their brain and run to repair every
part of body for running live. They also need nutrients to memorize, study,
play, and do activities in longer class. Student schools received free school
lunch can learn better new thing than whoever do not have meals. Do you agree
with this passage? Why? If you are the one of government, how you solve problem
about school lunch for children who are the poors.

Musical
Prodigy Emily Bear Shines on Diversity
Hello and welcome to As It Is. I’m June
Simms in Washington. Today, we take a trip to the imaginary planet Krypton to
witness the historic birth of Superman and to hear about how he came to Earth.
Also, the music business in Nigeria is one of the fastest growing industries in
Africa. But sales of Nigerian CDs may not be paying off. First, we tell about
musical prodigy Emily Bear.
Musical Prodigy Emily Bear Shines on
“Diversity” A child prodigy is someone who at a very early age shows
extraordinary skill in one or more areas. Emily Bear is such a child. She has
performed at Carnegie Hall, the White House, world-class shows, and on an album
produced by Quincy Jones -- all before the age of 11.
Most children Emily Bear’s age are playing
video games or getting together with friends for a weekend of movies and fun.
But the young performer is instead directing her attention to her music. You
can find her preparing for her next television appearance, writing songs,
performing in public or sharing the recording studio with famous musicians.
Among them is Quincy Jones, who worked with Emily on her new album “Diversity.”
Emily says working with Quincy Jones was one of the most exciting events in her
life.
“It was great. He’s such a nice guy. He’s
like a walking encyclopedia of jazz music and history. I learned so much from
him.”
Emily Bear was born and raised in
Rockford, Illinois. She was already singing and playing piano when she was two
years old. At the age of six, she was invited to play piano on the Ellen
DeGeneres television show. Her performance was such a hit that she was invited
back to the show five more times. Emily Bear is in high demand to play at
performing arts centers around the world and has become quite a world traveler.
“I love traveling. I’ve seen China and
Italy and France and London and Switzerland and Vienna. Actually, we’re going
with Quincy this summer to Switzerland for the Montreux Jazz Festival which is
going to be a blast, and Korea and Japan.”The young musician composed all of
the songs on her new album “Diversity.” This includes the song “Q,” which she
wrote in honor of Quincy Jones.
Although her life is very busy, she still
enjoys getting together with friends, watching movies and answering fan mail.
“I love when they get inspired and they
start playing piano again or they start doing an instrument. I love these few
e-mails that I got from patients who have cancer, that use my music to relax
during chemo treatments. I’m so glad that it inspires people to do things.”
Emily is currently studying film scoring
and classical piano. She will perform at the 2013 Montreux Jazz Festival on
July 21, playing music in recognition of Quincy Jones’ 80th birthday. From
there she travels to Tokyo to take part in another birthday celebration for him
on July 28. Thanks to VOA’s Doug Levine for his reporting on this story. You
are listening to As It Is, from VOA Learning English. I’m June Simms. Nigerian
Artists Seek New Ways to Fight Music Piracy Music piracy is so widespread in
Nigeria that most people do not consider buying original copies of the
recordings they want. Nigerian music artists say the reproduction of their work
without their approval is destroying what could be a successful industry.
Now some musicians are taking steps to
fight back. Mario Ritter has our report.

Emily Bear she shines on Diversity. She is someone who shows extraordinary

Quincy Jones before she is eleven years old.
Most
children who are Emily Bear’s age always likes to play video games or get
together with friends for movies weekend or fun. On contrary, she always
performs her music. She always prepares her television appearance, writes
songs, performs in public or shares the recording studio with famous musicians.
Emily tells working with Quincy Jones on an album “Diversity” was one of the
most exciting events in her life. In addition, she tells it’s great for hers
because she has learned many things about music from him.
She tells she loves travelling. She is going
to Switzerland with Quincy Jones to promote all songs of her album “Diversity.”
There is the song “Q,” in which she wrote in honor of Quincy Jones. She tells
“she love few e-mails that she gets from patients who have cancer, they use her
music to relax during chemo treatments. She is so happy that her music can
inspire people to feel good.” Now, Emily is studying film scoring and classical
piano. She will perform at the 2013 Montreux Jazz Festival on July 21, playing
music in recognition of Quincy Jones’ 80th birthday. After this time, she
travels to Tokyo to take part time for Quincy Jones’s birthday celebration on
July 28.
Emily Bear is younger performer music that can
inspire for people who have cancer and her fan music to feel better. She is so
famous all areas. I think she can solve problem widespread in Nigeria that most
people don’t like to buy original copies of the recordings. Nigerian music
artists say the reproduction of their approval work can be a successful
industry.
