The majority of this course is focused on the practice of writing formally and your writing reflections are no different. Where they do differ, though, is that they specifically push you to reflect upon yourself as a writer, offering you an ability to utilize personal experience and viewpoints as the explicit basis to think of the practice of writing. For your first writing reflection, I want you to address the following: From your vantage point, what is the purpose of writing? In your experience, what aspects of writing do you excel at? Struggle with? How have you overcome those struggles? (Or, if you haven’t, why haven’t you?) Make sure to incorporate examples. Note that this is personal reflection. This means that there aren’t wrong answers so we are focused on your attention to detail, explication, and general argumentation. Please write this in Times New Roman size 12, double-spaced, one-inch margins in approximately three pages.

I think Ghost’s anger stems from his situation. He has a lot of outside stressors along with never being able to properly deal with what happened to him when his father tried to kill them. He lives every day in fear, feels horrible for being a burden, and then is bullied at school on top of it all and so he feels a lot of frustration for his position. I think he commits to things well, but because he has a lot of emotions he sometimes does things that can hinder his process in which he is committing to things. Ghost changes by the end of the book due to finally feeling accepted for who he is and understood while having a way to burn off his emotions and have a coping mechanism– it is very very realistic. “He gets to add family members when he joins the track team, and the beauty of that is everybody on his team is so different. They’re not from his neighborhood, and they have different experiences. But what they understand is what it means to run, and he gets to look them in their faces and he gets to be unashamed of who he is, and they get to be unashamed of who they are, and it is in that intimacy that their family is truly formed.” – Jason Reynolds. I liked this as it was very true as they learned about adoptions with different race parents, death of parents, living in a more expensive place, a parent who is not healthy but still loves her children– and they still are able to come together and grow despite these differences and how they might not have liked each other much at the start. “Lu gave me five, then repeated, “It’s me”– he pointed to himself–“and you” He put his finger on my chest.” I really liked this part because the book begins with him fighting against lu and seeing him as a rival he hated and then they end the book with them still being rivals but a friendly rivalry where he stands up for him and expresses that he is here for him and they shouldn’t worry about anyone else.

This assignment requires you to watch the movie Boyhood (2014), directed by Richard Linklater. The film is available to stream through Netflix or rent from a number of online sources. If you need to find it online check out the streaming search engine, Just Watch. (Links to an external site.) It’s a great resource (especially if your 3 year-old nephew suddenly demands you watch Dinosaur Train and you can’t find it for the life of you). When I last checked here were the results for Boyhood. This movie follows the character of Mason from early childhood through adolescence, to his arrival at college. You will take notes of Mason’s development as he grows up through the course of the movie. Requirements Review the requirements and rubric for what needs to be included in the paper and how it will be graded. Info Movie Paper.pdfPreview the document Movie Paper Assignment Requirements (1).pdfPreview the document Movie Paper Assignment Rubric.pdfPreview the document* this is a very extensive rubric so be sure to check it out! Watch the entire movie Boyhood Take notes Write up your observations The purpose of watching this movie is to gain exposure to the developmental changes children experience as they age. Also, the movie offers insight into how family relationships impact development. Throughout the course of the movie, Mason ages from 6 years old to 18 years old. Observing the physical, emotional/social, and cognitive changes he undergoes throughout the movie is an excellent way for you to see concepts learned in class in a tangible, active way. The movie was filmed over the course of 12 years so you will be able to see physical changes of the actor Ellar Coltrane (who plays Mason) as he grows up. The context of the story line, again, will give you insight into the role of family in children’s development. PLEASE FOLLOW THE RUBRIC EXACTLY AND INCLUDE A PICTURE OF OBSERVATION NOTES

Assignment: Literature Review Step II Completing a literature review requires higher order and critical thinking skills. In a literature review, you extract themes and key information, and synthesize them to illustrate your point. In Discussion 2, you selected four articles about a topic, you then organized the information about the four articles by identifying and summarizing them. In essence, you completed the first step of a mini literature review. In this Assignment, you complete the next step of a mini literature review by critically analyzing the information you have gathered. In Discussion 1, you answered the question: What information is available on the issue and what does it say? In this Assignment, you want to answer questions such as: What themes can I identify? How does this information relate to the issue I am exploring? What information is most important, and why? What problem(s) related to the issue the authors address? What problems still need to be addressed? To prepare for this Assignment, review the required readings (e.g., APA readings) related to literature reviews. Be sure to review the rubric for this assignment to understand how the literature review will be evaluated. By Day 7 of Week 5 Submit a 4- to 5-page literature review based on the four articles you collected. Be sure your literature review reflects the questions posed in the opening paragraphs of this Assignment. NOTE: This assignment is based off of a Case Study that we’ve been studying: Case Study for Issues in K-12 Education. Scenario: Your state is considering a required set of education standards that all schools must adopt. You have been nominated to serve on the statewide committee to inform the legislature as to which standards, if any, should be adopted. You will have the opportunity to take a stand on the following issue; does a set of required standards improve or limit education for all students (e.g., general education students, special education, English language learners, gifted learners) in state schools? I chose to argue that common core state standards (CCSS) improve education for all students in state schools. However, it is the implementation of the standards that is the problem. I’m a special education teacher (DeKalb County School District in GA) so I like choosing articles about the CCSS and students with disabilities. I also like to focus on what the literature is saying about the role that teachers play in the implementation of the standards and how the teachers are prepared to carry out the implementation of the CCSS (professional development). Furthermore, I like to focus on what the articles are saying about modifying the curriculum for students with disabilities and how students with disabilities are being tested in regards to CCSS.

Please demonstrate your knowledge of the influence of Welles by citing an example of a trick shot from both The Best Years of Our Lives AND a modern film. Please also post a link from the modern film example to show your point. Please note one trick shot (deep focus, long tracking shot ( see here for examples of long, unbroken shots), fast/slow motion photography, long zoom, use of mirrors, etc.) in the film “The Best Years of Our Lives” and, more importantly, a recent movie. What is really helpful is when you can link an example of the shot via a YouTube URL or other means.If you are slightly confused about what to look for in a movie for your analysis, let me help. The idea is that there are tons of really creative “trick” shots in modern movies that originated in how Welles and Tolland thought movies should look like. Think about City Lights, It Happened One Night or Casablanca. They are shot very straightforwardly with the camera simply capturing the action. Welles and Tolland changed all that by creating the idea of a showman director who will do tricks with the camera that create a whole different experience for the audience that they could never get, say, from watching a stage play. A trick shot is NOT a pan or a tilt or wind blowing through somebody’s hair. Nor is it a stunt. It is a shot unlike others because it uses highly creative visual imagination and great skill to accomplish. Now for a sample analysis: Children of Men makes use of the long tracking shot throughout the entire movie. The long takes give the film a real time feel and make the scenes seem more dramatic. There are scenes throughout the movie that go for more than two minutes without cutting. My favorite scene is where the heroes are trying to escape with the pregnant girl but are attacked. The entire car chase scene is film in one shot even with the car escaping in reverse. This (Links to an external site.) is the longest clip I could find but the actual scene in the movie continues. (There is more to this analysis where it cites The Best Years of Our Lives but I cut it so as to not give away a scene from that movie to you) The influence of Welles is all over film, it should not be hard to find some really fascinating examples! Try to have some fun with this one.
