Traffickers profit at the expense of their victims by compelling them to perform labor or to engage in commercial sex in every region of the United States and around the world.
Traffickers make their victims work for them. The victims generate the money but don't benefit from it.
My parents do not own me
I also like this line just because I have always thought something similar to this. I think that sometimes parents can be an obstacle to what you do and sometimes not see your point of view
I am made of dreams and shooting stars.
This is my personal favorite line out of the poem. To me it means I am made to achieve my own dreams and goals not what others want for me.
college is a great place to start doing that.
Why is college a good place to start? Why until now?
My approach to teaching college writing starts by asking you, my students from allbackgrounds, to interrogate your past experience with education,
This can also help us know and analyze the problems that there is in the education system. Especially since we have lived and experienced how the education system really is for over a decade now.
Your opinions and voices matter to me
This is something every class should have, it ensures students ideas/thoughts aren't shut down simply because they are "wrong".
I try mybest to operate on a golden rule of respect and kindness
I do notice this when we are in class, you represent this. This is a true statement!
I also know that school and society add various levels of stress to folks
I agree to this statement, not all people have the same worries and stress about it.
learning, reading, writing, and research
This is a repetitive process to help in writing.
ut when writers have to write annotations for each source, they are forced to read each source more carefully understanding the source on its own in relationship the assignment and other sources
I have this type of project in one of my other classes, this will be very helpful.
Mind mapping and outlining
I find this to be very helpful when I am not sure of how to begin my writing.
ennifer Train
What she does is interesting. Looks like she helps to think deeper.
However, it can be a very helpful starting point, as long as you keep a few points in mind:
I agree, I think it is helpful to look at different perspective/opinions on a topic.
You’ll also want to brainstorm alternate terms for each concept in order to expand your search results.
I have been trying to do this for my other classes because I notices that sometimes if you switch a phrase you get different search results which might be better.
SFSU’s
It is nice to have some author backgrounds.
“problem posing” helps students see their own curiosity, interests,
I think that he made learning into a visual learning and that is how his students were able to learn how to read and write. They had a reference to look back on.
asking questions
Recently I've noticed this in most my classes.
ISCUSSION FORUM
I think that practicing a presentation many times beforehand will help you not have to look back at your screen and you would have more confidence into knowing what you are presenting about.
you will be able to take your intended audience with you on a grand tour of your thoughts and insights
Our writing is like a guide and story to tell the audience. This has to interpret what you want to tell the audience. Its like storytelling.
Conclusions
I like to do the conclusion paragraph it is basically to rephrase everything and it gives a quick summary.
Counter Arguments
For me counter arguments are the hardest. Finding a goof counter argument and then finding a good explanation to back up your claim is difficult for me.
Warm-up
This is like brain storming in a way because it is putting together the ideas on a piece of paper.
Paraphras
Rephrasing your evidence because you have to die your evidence together and help give an explanation on how it supports your claim.
your intended audience reveals to you how to construct your thesis statement and entire paper. Your intended audience determines how much background information you will need to include in the paper and the tone and language you will use
I agree with this, this targets your audience. If your audience doesn't understand what you'r writing then there wouldn't really be a point.
Evidenc
I think that evidence is very important. It has to be relevant to your topic or else it would be non sense
In college, you are often asked to make a persuasive case in writing by convincing your audience of your point of view.
Persuading is a hard thing to do to an audience.
ethos, logos, and pathos
These are the main components of your writing. They are very important to include.
Now you may think that it is ignorant to speak broken EnglishBut I’m here to tell you that even “articulate” Americanssound foolish to the Britis
Now days most people speak broken english and that is how we communicate
Cause I speak three tonguesOne for each:Home, school and friend
This is the lines that stood out for me, it says in what ways she uses all three languages.
Reading Aloud
I often do this already. When I read aloud i could tell if something doesn't make sense and it does help me.
High Order Concerns
These would be fixing the bigger mistakes you have in your writing and them being priority.
Revision is the real work of writing and is the most time consuming step of the writing process
I think that when you revise that is where you see all your mistakes and catch things that don't aline with what you are writing.
whatever discipline your major is in or the profession you choose, you will need to write, well
This is true, I think that anywhere we go we will need to write good.
Describe, Evaluate, Suggest
This is how a proper peer feedback should look like.
The Personal Storyline Project
It's like creating a story in order kind of thing.
Typically, you begin with your main idea and branch out from it. Where you choose to place your main idea on your page is up to you.
This says that it all starts out hot you want it. To just choose the main idea or what you want to talk about and then just start flowing your ideas from there.
Practice and experiment with the experience of your the writing process,
Try out different ways of writing and see what you like best.

Personally giving examples or using imagery can help me learn faster too.

Understanding what is being read is also important.

This will also help writers learn faster, by building up the skills that they have instead of memorizing the "right way" to write.

I agree! I think that by learning how to write with your own life it would be more interesting compared to when the teachers give you everything you write about.

Every student writes differently so assignments as a class are not going to look the same.

I agree! I always struggle with this.

She liked to talk about how she fist started learning and when she was developing skills.
I used to bring the textsfrom home to read with the students,
Was she a teacher?
young students spoke to me abouttheir struggles with extensive bibliogr
I think that many young students struggle to learn this type of stuff because it's different.
There I gained experience in the critical inter-pretation of texts I read in class with the Portuguese teacher's help, whichI remember to this day.
As she was growing older she was growing her literacy skills as well.
With her, reading the word meantreading the word-world
She knew how to take the world into her learning by someone else. So she was kind of taught how to do it.
The earth was my blackboard; sticks, my chalk.
She was taking her life into something that she could write.
scorn

I agree! Most of what we know or how we speak is because of what we've learned from our parents.
its movement; in the color offoliage, the shape of leaves, the fragrance of flowers — roses, jasmine; intree trunks; in fruit rinds: the varying color tones
This is very detailed.
I learned to understandthings, objects, signs through using them in relationship to my olderbrothers and sisters and my parents
She related it to her own family and what they did.
Some of the trees were like persons to me,
The trees were her audience who listened to what ever she wrote/said.

I think she is talking about how she used to "write" when she was little even when she wasn't actually writing, in her mind she was but just in a different way.
feltmyself drawn enthusiastically to re-reading essential moments in my ownpractice of reading whose memory I retained from the most remote experi-ences of childhood, from adolescence, from young manhood,
I like it when theres something that I am reading and it is relatable to my own life since I find it interesting.
Reading is not exhausted merely by decoding thewritten word or written language, but rather anticipated by and extendinginto knowledge of the world.
I think this means to apply what your reading into the real world we live in.
reading the word and writing a new text mustbe seen as one means of transforming the world.
I think that since you learn from reading you do gain more knowledge so it does change your way of thinking in some things.
Each time you try a new strategy that works for you, and continue to use and practice that strategy, you will be able to persist through any difficult text you encounte
I think this would help retain what you learn by reading too.
Until rather recently, this was most effectively done by writing directly onto a printed text or book.
I think this is true, for me I always rather a physical book then an online version of the book.
Persistence
Keeping persistence throughout the whole year is so hard. At the beginning of each semester i plan to do good through the whole year but as time goes by I slowly lack on homework.
you pick up on their nonverbal cues, mannerisms, and conventions,
Yes! it's like reading body gestures. The body movements also talk.
For example, annotating on screen as opposed to taking notes by hand, or writing certain symbols in the margins that make sense to you.
This is something I need to try out and I would be able to see what would work for me.
what are your learning goals as a student???
Right now I am trying to see what my learning style is.
Let your peers and your professor know that you are ready to learn and to contribute to others’ learning
I think that showing you paying attention is important.
Your identity is shaped by your experiences
I agree with this, we get built up by our live events.
Once students like you know that you are allowed to have your own voice as an academic writer
I think getting your own voice by writing is important.
ZPD to the Zone of Appropriate Challenge and Growth.
I think this is such an accurate diagram.
because a single test cannot test everybody’s abilities,
I agree with this because I've known people that do so well in the class but when it comes to a test nervousness comes in and do poorly.
that revolves around their lives.
I agree, when something relatable to my own life is being taught I find it very interesting, so I engage and pay more attention to the lecture.
Without being able to read, these impoverished workers could not negotiate contracts or learn about how to defend their rights
This is simply sad that anyone would have the heart to take advantage of the workers who don't know their rights, instead they should teach them what their rights are.
where learning is not just about reading information and memorizing it,
I agree with this, memorizing a whole textbook doesn't mean you understand the material.
how do we learn best?
This is a question that we should ask ourself each lesson, along the way we will know what learning methods work for us.
To reflect on your own learning styles
There can be many learning methods but I should find what is best for me to help me learn effectively.
English was shoved down theirthroats.
This reminds me of my mother, when she came to the U.S. she couldn't be understood anywhere unless she spoke english, so she had to learn the language.
