Medieval History Lesson

I need to teach a group of 3-4 year olds the difference between wet and dry. Does anyone have a creative lesson that will be both educational and fun?

Hmmm well I think at that age, the little ones know the difference but just in case here is what we did in our case:

We went through various items like sponges, toys, and even their hands. We showed that when the object is in liquid it is more slippery, and sometimes colder. To show dry we did the opposite.

They catch on pretty quickly

Also, what is the spiritual lesson in wanting someone you can not have?

Learning to accept what is, when you cannot change it, will give you peace. Of course, this also means you need to be able to assess when you can or cannot change it.

When something involves the will of another person, the limit is reached if you are being honest and fair with them. Wanting someone you cannot realistically have is part of growing up. It is common, for example, for people to have fantasies about having a relationship with someone famous. It helps define what you really admire. But if you fixate on one person to the extent that you do more than perhaps write a fan letter, you set yourself up for disappointment and possibly criminal charges.

That’s why celebrities need bodyguards.

There is a place literally walking distance from my house that’s really nice, but it seems a little pricy. The rates are $60 for a private half hour lesson, and $50 for a group hour lesson. Is it just me, or are these prices insane?

You can’t judge a riding lesson based on the price alone. For what the trainer/instructor is teaching, it may be just right or even too little. What kind of riding lessons are they? I suspect that it may be of a discpline,….dressage or hunter jumper or eventing or reining or cutting?….

If you want a cheap lesson, you might want to go with a backyard instructor. they charge about $20-25 an hour or less and they probably don’t have the credentials of that barn’s trainer/instructor.

For a dressage trainer/instructor, they can charge anywhere from $35 - 75 or more an hour.

What kind of training does the instructor have at that barn? If the barn is really "nice" then maybe the instructor has taken the time and effort to learn a lot about real horsemanship so the price will reflect that.

It takes YEARS of riding and taking instruction from top notch trainers to become an intructor who can and should rightfully charge a lot of money for having taken the time to aquire that kind of knowledge.

You get what you paid for. Maybe this instructor is also into competing, so the better the trainer, the higher the price.

Also, take into consideration your area. Is it high price? I suspect so. The cost of running a barn in your area may be substantially higher than other areas. Also, the type of lesson horses can reflect the cost, too. Are they warmbloods that are well proven?

I suspect there’s a good reason for the price. Find out what it is. If this person didn’t think they could get that price, they’d go out of business very quickly. Obviously, they haven’t.

As for your actual question: what’s a reasonable amount to charge for a lesson?

That depends on what kind of lesson and from who you’re taking it from and if you are using your own horse or you’re using the lesson horses available.

You can pay anywhere from $20 on up to a hundred an hour. Depends on your area, too.

Reasonable? That depends on the skill level of the trainer/instructor.

Anything having to do with horses is highly subjective. There is no "right or wrong" answer for this type of question. Depends on too many individual factors.

Singing, acting, dancing, telling jokes! What lesson did you learn from performing in front of an audience?

To keep focused on what you want to communicate.
To try to communicate with the audience and feed off of their energy.
To overpractice so you feel comfortable that you won’t make a big, noticeable mistake.
To perform it like you practiced it.

i had my introductory but next week is my proper lesson.

How was it for you? From then on did you realise becoming a pilot was for you?
Also do you think aged 17 [just turned] is ”old” for doing lessons now?
how many do you recommend doing in one month?

After my intro flight I was nothing but smiles and couldn’t wait to get started. I have to admit though, that not all parts of the training were always fun and I could feel both my blood and that of my instructor starting to boil at times, but I guess that’s all part of the training process. It can get very stressful at times and you may not grasp certain concepts immediately. Just keep in mind that most people don’t get certified in the minimum required time (average about 60 to 80 hours, I got mine in about 70) and be sure to save up, or have money in reserve for the extra expenditures.

There is also something else to be mindful of. From my experience, there are two kinds of post certified pilots. Many will get their pilots certificate and never fly again (i.e. they spent thousands of dollars for nothing). And then there are those, like me, that flying gets into their blood system like an incurable virus and you will forever want to keep flying (either as a hobby or as a living) and you might need to be prepared to spend a whole lot more money on training or for aircraft rental or purchase.

As for age and time. You only need to be 16 to start logging time so you are good to go. For how often, well, the longer it takes, the longer and more expensive it is. Flying is a degradable skill. If it’s not used, you loose it. Or at least you aren’t as proficient. If you don’t fly often then you may have to spend time brushing up on what you have learned or re learn it alltogether. So the more often you fly the better. Just be sure you can afford to do so.

In To Kill A Mockingbird, how does Atticus’s lesson to scout about walking around in another persons skin apply to incidents with Miss Caroline, Walter Cunningham, and Burris Ewell? How could she have avoided trouble?

Because if she had walked around in their skin, she could have seen the situation from their point of view. I haven’t read the book for a while, but if the incident with Miss Caroline is the one where Scout gets in trouble in class, then Scout could have avoided that if she had seen it from Miss Caroline’s view because Miss Caroline was new to Maycomb and didn’t know the ways of the town, and if Scout had seen it from her point of view, she wouldn’t have gotten in trouble……

i think. haha.

Personal finance was slightly taught to me by my parents or in school. I had to learn how to balance a checkbook, the dangers of credit cards and about saving all on my own. What personal finance lesson do you wish you had been taught in your younger years & how would that have changed your current economic status?

I wish I could teach the world:
Don’t ever carry credit card balances - it ruins your credit
Don’t even think of leasing a car - its moronic
Don’t ever rent furniture
Don’t ever buy a time share
Don’t even think of financing furniture - save up for things.
Save to buy a car, as much as possible.
Put 20% down on a house - even if you think your friends will make fun of you for having a small house.
Put money away in a ROTH, 401K - as much as possible
Become as self- insured as possible - stop making insurance companies rich
Always have 6 months worth of living expenses socked away.

What lesson can the world learn from Gandhi?
Why is this an important lesson?
How might this lesson change the world for future generations?

Thank you.

If the world says, "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, we would all wind up blind and toothless."

i couldn’t analyze this for you because i read that book a looong time ago, but it’s an amazing novel

I am a student in my AP English class and I apparently have to "teach" the class about a question. The essay is ‘Education’ by Emerson and the question is "Why does Emerson describe schools as bureaucratic institutions?" The instructions for the ‘lesson’ are to identify supporting passages and to present to the class. Although I know the answer to the question, how should I present to the class? The other group proposed questions throughout their answer and discussion prevailed, however I am shy and want to be original. How do I engage the class in this aspect of Emerson’s writing? It would be helpful if you were familiar with the text. Thanks.

The other group was right in that they made the lesson interactive.
You could try making a short "jeopardy" type game, or a jigsaw type activity in which you hand out pieces of the text, or written questions and answers and they move around the room to match up. At the end of your lesson or activity, give them a short quiz to assess if they learned what you were trying to teach. Remember to start your lesson with an agenda: write the goals for the lesson on the board or OHP
