Language Opportunities

On average, one out of 12 children enter school with a language deficit. This deficit can lead to difficulties in the other domains related to language. There are four domains of language: oral, listening, reading, and writing. Each of these domains builds upon one another, and a deficit in one area can directly affect another. Oral language can be an important predictor of future reading success. In this week’s Assignment, you explore the different components of oral and written language (expressive, receptive, vocabulary, comprehension, etc.) and determine the effect language development has on a student’s future progress. To Prepare Select a grade level (K–6), and review the state standards in literacy for that grade level. Focus on oral language, formal and informal language, and writing. To Complete In this Assignment, imagine you are creating a workshop for teachers in your grade level on language and literacy development. Create a PowerPoint or online presentation (i.e. Knovio, Prezi, etc.) that includes the following: Describe the key milestones of language from birth to age 8. Explain how language opportunities promote self-expression, identity development and learning. How do child development and language/literacy development compare? How both formal and informal language help students make connections between oral language and written language. Share strategies. Strategies to use with ELL or ESL students. For example, you may discuss how you will convert skills in their primary language to English or perhaps you will incorporate songs and rhymes. Explain the interrelated elements of language arts instruction that support the development of ELL/ESL learners. Include ways in which languages differ in writing systems and in processes used to translate from one language to another. Explain how you could use technology to support an ELL/ESL learner. The presentation should contain 6 to 8 slides, not including the title and references slides. If you choose to create a PowerPoint presentation: Use the Learning Resource by the Center for Teaching at Vanderbilt University on effective PowerPoints. Use the notes section for details (no more than 2–3 paragraphs per slide).

Care In Education

The paper is about  “care” in education. Nel Noddings is an educator and philosopher who is infamous for her take on the philosophy of education. The paper seeks to research  Noddings and her teachings as well as the effects of care in a philosophical educational aspect. Most say that teachers who care truly make a difference and I would like to put that theory to the test.  In the spirit of Huffman and Brubaker (2009) who say caring is best assessed by analyzing encounters between teachers and students; and assuming that they have also correctly identified seven elements central to Noddings’ ethic of care (p. 36), consider the following story. After reading the story, use Noddings’ theory of care and the readings you’ve done for your paper to answer each of the questions posed below the story.   There was a little boy that attended a half day center-based program and a half day general education program. He had an IEP and was considered special needs. He was in my class for the second half of the day and was usually tired. I was doing a coloring activity with the kids when his other teacher came in for something and saw his work. She asked him why he was coloring so slowly and not staying inside the lines. He said he was tired, and she said that now he was really going to be tired because she took his work and ripped it up and threw it away. I almost died. The poor kid turned red and started to cry. I was very upset; and I can never look at this woman the same way again. I feel that was a terrible thing to do to a four-year-old special needs child. Frankly, it disgusted me.   1) a) What element of Noddings’ theory was most offended by the teacher who tore up the student’s work? b) What makes you pick that element as the most offended?   2) What would Noddings say is a good way to a) show the student empathy? b) restore the student’s sense of self? c) What makes you think those things would be empathetic and self-restoring?   3) a) Consider the response of the teacher who observed the student’s work being destroyed. (See the last five sentences of the story.) On a scale of 0-11, where 0 = “not Noddings at all” and 11 = “totally Noddings,” pick the number you think describes the way the teacher feels. b) What makes that the right number to pick?   4) a) What would Noddings say is a good first step to take to develop an attitude of caring in the teacher who tore up the work? b) What makes that a good first step? c) What would Noddings advise as a second step? d) What makes that a natural for Step 2?   5) Assuming Smeyers (1999) is right in saying an ethic of care is more a set of activities than a set of principles, what do you think is a good way to incorporate the ethics of care into preservice teaching programs? b) What makes you think that would work to help prospective teachers learn to care?   6) What makes caring the right thing to do even if the cared-for never fully reciprocates the caring they’ve received?

 Anti-Bullying Policy

1. Scrutinize each paragraph separately (this can be done directly on the draft itself): -What is the basic point? -How does each paragraph relate to the essay’s thesis? -Should some paragraphs be further developed, condensed, combined, rearranged, or deleted? (If you “outline” each paragraph by briefly stating the main topic in the margins, that will help you answer these questions more effectively.) -Is each sentence clearly related to the one preceding it—and the one that follows? 2. What is the main point being made about these text(s)? Is the point arguable? Is it more complex than simply exploring a superficial aspect of the text? Does the reasoning fall short? 3. Does the author provide specific evidence to back up his or her points? Are more quotes needed? Are fewer quotes needed to avoid redundancy? Are signal phrases (“According to Rousseau . . .” or “Machiavelli states . . .”) used to introduce each quotation or paraphrase? Does the author provide context when integrating the evidence and explain clearly how the evidence proves the points and how the points connect to the claim? 4. Can you accept the writer’s assumptions? Why or why not? Be specific. 5. Are there adequate transitions between paragraphs? 6. Are the introductory and concluding paragraphs effective? What works so far—and what might need revision? Please be specific in your advice. 7. Does the conclusion answer the “so what” question? In other words, does the conclusion branch out a bit and address larger concerns, perhaps outside the world of politics? 8. What are this paper’s major strengths? 9. What major revision do you think the writer of this essay should consider first?
