The Six Areas of Language Arts by: Kristy Farnsworth I chose this item because I love reading books by Nicholas Sparks. This was an important picture because it had most of my favorite books by Sparks. This relates to me because I do not often read, but when I do, it is usually Nicholas Sparks or a children's book. http://leeraloo.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/d 97eeb825692b03b_sparks-post.jpg Parents and teachers were people that I was always expected to listen to. It was always important for me to listen to these authority figures because then I would not be disobeying, which always ended in a reward, intrinsic or extrinsic. I feel like you need good listening skills in everyday life to be able to be respectful towards others. http://www.westfield.ma.edu/personalpages/drak er/edcom/final/sp07/sectionb/sunnyville/Paren ts.jpg Most people view everything, which is why I chose my favorite thing that I view, the stars. Stars are important to me because they are so beautiful and fascinating. It is great to see all of the marvelous things God has created. It relates to everyday life because we learn from everything that we see. http://science.psu.edu/alert/photos/researchphotos/astro/WrightCurtisr147imgnoax.jpg I would be no where without my agenda. Keeping an agenda is very important to me because it lets me see the tasks I have, and it shows me my accomplishments by what I have crossed off. I also make lists for everything that I have to get done in a day that would not go in my agenda. http://www.picgifs.com/graphics/a/ag enda/graphics-agenda-603334.jpg This picture is a replica of me. I am always terrified of speaking in front of people besides children. However, it is a very important skill to have. I absolutely love talking to my friends and family everyday. http://blogs.nd.edu/graduate-schoolprofessionaldevelopment/files/2012/11/public_speaking.jpe g I chose this picture because I have different colored items for everything. I also have all of my assignments written down in different colored pens. This is very important to me because I would not be able to function. I love being organized. http://www.scholastic.com/parents/sites/default/files /styles/img300x225/public/field_asset_image/dailytips-8-10-organization-purchase-color-coded-foldersand-notebooks.jpg?itok=KnwBbR5N Sources for Extra Pictures http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_De2r9U87dn8/S1NNnm832I/AAAAAAAACs4/DzqYICHapXc/s400/listening+word.jpg http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/sites/default/files/posts/u133/images/reading_word _wall_card.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/3brv4L1RoWk/T34eaPgMODI/AAAAAAAAEUo/Hp7C3BSiE2g/s1600/med ia1.gif http://drralph.pbworks.com/f/1349950914/Writing.jpg http://www.publicviewing.org/images/PublicViewing.png http://m.c.lnkd.licdn.com/mpr/mpr/p/6/005/05a/33d/13a9dc7.jpg http://worksmartlivesmart.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/public-speaking.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_AHqRwgN54k/S7ymcXfrGzI/AAAAAAAAAJA/JMVeC8J9BpM/s1600/_Boy+ birder-GA-AZGFD-2_George-Adndrejko.jpg http://static.tumblr.com/976a96c0bc7a5a8bcff72fc8b254f7e8/1tnxqle/4Ltmfs7y9/tumblr _static_writing450.jpg http://img.ehowcdn.com/article-new-thumbnail/ehow/images/a07/h0/aq/activities-visuallyrepresenting-classroom-800x800.jpg http://gr2english.wikispaces.com/file/view/speaking.jpg/182337773/speaking.jpg
