Prior to beginning this activity, read Chapter 12: School, Work, and Leisure,

In this reflection,

  • Identify and explain key points throughout out your lifespan (childhood, adolescence, and adulthood) that have left an impression on your beliefs about receiving an education.
    • Include at least three experiences: one in childhood, one as a teen, and one as an adult.
    • Identify what led to the events and what effects each event has had on your academic journey or beliefs about earning a degree.
  • Identify factors suggested to be effectors of development, by your weekly reading that align with your experiences (i.e., childcare, preparedness, learning environment). Share only information that you are comfortable with, or you may use another’s experiences or a fictitious example.
    • To successfully do this, add proper citations throughout your writing.

Your journal, this week, should be 400 to 500 words and have an introduction and a conclusion

You should exhibit obvious attention to critical thought and understanding of the content, as demonstrated in Samantha Agoos’s TED-Ed Animation, 5 Tips to Improve Your Critical Thinking (Links to an external site.). You should include citations as needed to support your ideas. As this is your personal reflection about the material this week, your journal should limit the use of quoted material. Proper grammar should be applied,

At a minimum, cite your text to support your assertions within your explanation, but you may also use additional scholarly sources.

Discussion about Prejudice and Discrimination

Discussion about Prejudice and Discrimination

Be Honest. Do you think you have some prejudices? It’s one thing to have them and another to act on them. Where do you think your prejudices, if you have them, originated? Based on your readings, how would you propose getting rid of prejudices that you have? How does having these biases affect you? Have you ever been the target of discrimination–how easily do you think we can change people’s minds? Use research or materials from your readings to support your claims.

Requirements: no more than 200 words.

ENG309 Antigone

ENG309 Antigone

Throughout Antigone, the Chorus steps in to comment upon the action of the play. Sometimes the Chorus provides background information, histories of particular characters, or even mythological parallels. In other cases, the Chorus interprets the events of the play and clarifies the “moral of the story,” so to speak.

Choose one quotation from the Chorus and write a post in which you discuss how this quotation relates to the events of the play.

Some points you may want to consider include:

As you compose your post, don’t forget to follow MLA style. For three lines or fewer, incorporate the quotation within the paragraph and use a slash (/) to show the line breaks. For longer quotations, use an indented “block” format. In both cases, give the appropriate page number(s) from the text.

Requirements: 200-300 characters

Math Across the Curriculum

Math Across the Curriculum

Successful teachers understand how to help young children connect emerging numeracy skills to learning in other content areas so the children learn how math helps them understand and describe the world around them.

For this assignment, select a grade level pre-K, and develop three cross-curricular at-home activities that integrate math and reading. Each at-home activity should be developmentally appropriate, easy to do at home with family members, and engaging.

Write 150-250 words for each activity explaining to families how to complete the activity. Include the following for each activity:

  • A math and an English language arts standard for the selected grade level
  • Specific objectives
  • A written resource to help reinforce math and reading skills (books, poems, stories, etc.)
  • Instructions for completing the learning activity
  • Developmentally appropriate technology options for students with language learning needs
  • Summative activity for students to complete and return

In addition, write a 250-500 word reflection on the challenges and benefits of integrating reading and math. How will you apply this in your future professional practice?

Support your narrative with 2-3 resources.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Standards are attached.
