What is a genre? Why are they important in the classroom (reading classroom as well as the content area classroom). For this activity, you will need to put yourself in the position of either being a reading/language arts teacher or co-teacher in this classroom. How can you help students identify a genre of a particular text or book and, then, how can you help them identify a favourite one, or two so that they continue to read? Or, grow to love reading? Create a lesson that will include the following: Introduce students to a variety of genres (how will you do so? what books might you present? what genres will you include?) How the student, or small group, will present their findings on genres (what genres did they research? Which is their favourite? What led them to categorize the books/text into this genre?) Some examples for this lesson can be found here or here. How will you assess progress throughout the lesson? You should use a lesson planning format that is used at your school, or you may use your own lesson planning format.

There have been several instances of unethical practices in health-related research such as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study. Sampling is a particular aspect of research planning that can be riddled with ethical dilemmas as described in the article Ethical Dilemmas in Sampling. (https://jswve.org/download/2010-1/2dattalo-Ethical-dilemmas-in-sampling.pdf) After reviewing the above article: Share your thoughts on any ethical dilemma you as a researcher can anticipate given your selected research topic. Given the potential outcome of your research, what are some ways you may apply ethical values and practices in creating your sampling frame for your selected research topic?

1. In the following situations, indicate whether you’d use the normal distribution, the t distribution, or neither.a. The population is normally distributed, and you know the population standard deviation.b. You don’t know the population standard deviation, and the sample size is 35.c. The sample size is 22, and the population is normally distributed.d. The sample size is 12, and the population is not normally distributed.e. The sample size is 45, and you know the population standard deviation.2. The prices of used books at a large college bookstore are normally distributed. If a sample of 23 used books from this store has a mean price of $27.50 with a standard deviation of $6.75, use Table 10.1 in your textbook to calculate the following for a 95% confidence level about the population mean. Be sure to show your work.a. Degrees of freedomb. The critical value of tc. The margin of errord. The confidence interval for a 95% confidence level3. Statistics students at a state college compiled the following two-way table from a sample of randomly selected students at their college:

Curriculum DevelopmentAssignment OneWrite your own definition for the term “curriculum.” Then review a variety of text definitions for the term (Curriculum) What are the major differences in these definitions? Which definition (or combinations of definitions) did you like best? Which do you find most useful? Which definitions do you think are most appropriate for your work? How does your written definition compare?What would happen if we didn’t have a good curriculum or program plan? What is your current knowledge/ experience with course planning/curriculum planning? Provide a one paragraph summary and submit it in the digital dropbox.

If you were a member of an institutional review board, what would you do to ensure that ethics are not being compromised in the proposed research process?Your journal entry must be at least 200

A 58-year-old female is admitted for a workup for a complaint of neck and low back pain. During admission, you discover that she underwent a renal transplant six years ago. The patient also had blood work collected. When you review the findings, you notice that her serum calcium is elevated at 13.9 (Normal values range from 8.5 to 10.2 mg/dl), her CBC shows a hematocrit of 33%, and haemoglobin of 11.1 g/dl (normal adult female hematocrit Range: 37-47%, normal adult female haemoglobin range: 12-16 g/dl). What could be the underlying cause of her pain and her abnormal lab values? What other assessments would be helpful? What interventions might be considered?

Q1: What are three different statistical tests of significance? When is each used?

Cite reasons for your selection(s).Reflection: (My synthesis of the theories of intelligence presented and their alignment – or dis-alignment with my personal educational philosophy and beliefs)

For Milestone Three, you will craft the external message that you will use to address the problem you identified in the final project case study provided. In doing so, you will specify the mediums you will use to deliver the message, explain why these mediums are important, and outline the target audience. Additionally, you will explain how the message promotes the organization’s strategic goals. Finally, identify potential sources of conflict that may arise as a result of your external communication. Consider the message you are communicating as well as the mediums used.
