PLEASE READ QUESTION ASKED BY PROFESSOR AND ANSWER:

“Within the context of an emergency situation, where people have been displaced from their homes and are existing in overcrowded conditions, environmental factors and sanitation are keys to health protection. Environmental measures in a disaster situation include the provision of adequate volumes of water free from contamination, facilities to dispose of human excreta, hand washing, protection of food from spoilage, and the provision of housing and shelter” (Novick, L. F., Morrow, C.B., & Mays, G. P., 2008).

What are the general principles of environmental services during disasters? How do they vary for different types of disasters?

Your paper should be approximately 4-5 pages or 1200 words.

In your paper you will choose from one of the topics listed in Chapter 14: Adolescent Stress and Alienation or Chapter 15: Substance Abuse, Addiction, and Dependency. Here are the topics:

Your completed paper will be due on Sunday night, the last night of Week 3 at one minute before midnight, E.S.T.
*Remember, we already know what the textbook says so you will want to do good research to find additional materials on this topic as it specifically relates to adolescents. Your textbook is fine as one resource but you will need at least 3 others for a total of 4 in addition to the text.
Your paper will analyze the topic presented in the text, Chapter 14. You will need to include and cover these important details about your topic:

1) Introduction: A proper definition/introduction of the problem you will present
2) Epidemiology overview (the causes, statistical information)
3) Causes and symptoms (why do teens struggle with this stressor)
4) Nature or Nurture (Discuss whether it is hereditary or environmental or both.)
5) Diagnosis or assessment (Discuss how the stressor is recognized, diagnosed or assessed.)
6) Treatment (Options and prevention)
7) Conclusion (What additional thoughts do you have? What have you learned?)

Be sure to review the grading grid so that you will be aware of how your paper will be graded. This should also serve as a guide to help you remember to include all of the important elements in the paper.

Science Materials Advocacy Letter

Science Materials Advocacy Letter

Educators should be familiar with the materials used within the classroom to provide students with scientific learning opportunities. Often, the teacher needs supplemental materials to provide rich, hands-on learning experiences.

Write a 500-750 word letter to a principal requesting developmentally appropriate classroom resources for science instruction in a pre-K-3 classroom.

Include the following in your letter:

  • A rationale for using grade appropriate classroom resources, particularly technology, in early childhood science instruction to meet the needs of students and strengthen the learning environment.
  • A list of three developmentally appropriate classroom resources. At least one requested resource must be a technology that is interactive and can extend the possibilities for learning. For each resource include an explanation of the following:
    • How the resource facilitates scientific exploration and develops curiosity of students in the intended age range
    • How the resource helps engage students with different learning styles or preferences or who come from diverse backgrounds
    • How to obtain the resource and its approximate cost

Visuals may be used within this list to clarify materials.

Support your letter with at least three scholarly resources.

While APA style 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.
