The Relationship Between Eating Habits and the Effects on the Body

I will be conducting a research project on my personal eating habits and the effects it has on my body. I will be the only person in the particular research project. The data will be collected over one week and will look into: (1) did I eat breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner; (2) how many times a day I ate; (3) how much in ounces did I drink; (4)what did I drink; (5) if I skipped a meal, what was the reason for not eating; and (6) what affects all of this has on my body and my brain.

Living a Life of Forgiveness

At the end of what is commonly referred to as the “Lord’s Prayer” in Matthew 6:9-13 the Lord furthers instructs His disciples about the importance of forgiving others, “For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” (Matt. 6:13-14). The workshop designed for church use, will explore why we need to forgive, what forgiveness is and isn’t, and practicing a lifestyle of forgiveness including forgiving those who may have already passed on.

5 year old Case Study-Observing Development

This paper aims to provide insight on the maturation of children during the pre-operational stage of development. This is a case study of a five year old boy who I have seen grow throughout his life from my viewpoint as his baby-sitter and tutor. The factors of development discussed in this paper are; cognitive, physical, identity, social, and moral. This case study takes a closer look at how we develop, and poses a few ponderable reasons why we grow to be how we are.

Biblical Discipleship

Today, churches have several different ministry models from which they draw from including business, cultural, and institutional. However, the Apostle Paul defined his ministry according to Scripture, and we should do the same. Matthew 28:19 says, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Jesus gave us an example of discipleship in which he went and called his disciples, discipled them, and sent them out to do the same. This also should be our model for ministry: go, make disciples, and send out.

Minor Work Sample—Grammar

As a part of the student teaching program of NCU, I created a work sample of twelve lessons that I taught to a fifth grade class. These lessons were part of one grammar unit that introduced conjunctions and compound and complex sentences to the students. Along with each lesson plan and the materials required, my work sample also includes assessments of the students, the standards to be met by the students in each lesson, important information about the school environment, and several pieces of reflection on my own teaching experiences during the work sample.

I will show how the resurrection of Jesus is credible. It was not influenced by Greek thought or in retaliation of Roman dominance, but a factual, historical event witnessed and testified by the original disciples of Jesus and their followers.

An Alternative Approach to Ignatius’ So Called “Processional Imagery” in Eph 9:2

Since 1885 scholars have followed J.B. Lightfoot’s trend of interpreting Ignatius’ imagery in EPH 9:2 as “processional.” This paper reconsiders this trend and suggests that his imagery is more reflective of Jewish roots and less reflective of pagan processions.

How to use Both Art & Music in Classroom Management and Transitions

Classroom management is a part of any classroom. You can either invest the time before, or spend it consistently throughout the school year. Better to spend the time at the beginning of the year than waste it throughout the school year. We believe that you can integrate both music and art through the use of transitions. There are many ways to use both art and music and we plan to discuss many ways in which it can be done.

The Negative Effects of Attractiveness on Job Applicants

My experiment is an exploration of the “beauty is beastly” effect based on Johnson, Podratz, Dipboye, & Gibson (2010). They found that there are negative consequences of being an attractive woman and applying for masculine dominated positions. It is expected that participants will choose the unattractive woman for positions that have been male sex-typed and that attractiveness is of less importance. For positions that are female sex-typed and have a high importance for attractiveness, it is expected that the attractive woman will be chosen.

How Class Jobs Benefit Students

Student jobs are a major part of classroom management. Students will be encouraged to stay on task in order to earn their “pay check.” Student jobs allow students in all social-economic classes to learn the real life task of getting a job and having a “pay check.” Our presentation will cover these topics in hope of encouraging future and present teachers to form classroom jobs.

Construction of a Simple Securities Market Model

The securities market includes stocks and bonds, but also many more less common types of securities. This presentation will introduce viewers to the basics of the market, including risk and the no-arbitrage principle. This principle requires that no risk-free investments with a guarantee of gain can be made, and once it is assumed to be true, many other facts and interesting truths can be derived. The presentation will explore this in more depth, and provide an equation for determining the future value of investments.
