Movies TV shows
This activity is designed to encourage you to think critically about people with disabilities, how they are portrayed in the media and how living or working with someone with a disability may impact others and their education.
Please view your movie or three episodes of your TV show that includes a character with a disability. Then write the following three paragraphs and submit it . We will discuss your findings in class on February 8. (We will also be reflecting on these movies/TV shows throughout the semester as we learn more about the characteristics of various disabilities.)
Paragraph One: Give a brief overview of the plot and characters.
Paragraph Two: Describe the character’s disability and then identify how another character in the movie or episodes are impacted positively and/or negatively by the disability of the character. (For example, a sibling who feels neglected or needs to take on supervising roles, finds joy in their outlook on life, etc.)
Paragraph Three: Visualize the character with the disability as a student in elementary school and in high school. Predict educational considerations

Rich home-learning environments
A valuable means for parents to become involved in their child’s education is to provide a rich home-learning environment supporting academic achievement. Increasingly, students navigate among multiple domiciles, with varying levels of academic support. Moreover, research consistently shows the negative impact of absentee fathers on children.
Use the below prompts to guide an original post and responses to at least two classmates.
How do/can you, reach out to parents and help them create rich home-learning environments, while minimizing the action of parents doing work on a student’s behalf?
How do/can you include parents of the non-custodial home to support student academics and/or behavior (e.g., manage school-to-family connections for children dwelling among multiple households)?
Attach your module 4 presentation file or link to your initial prompt response. Request feedback from peers; you may provide a brief one-sentence overview of the presentation.
Interdisciplinary Studies
The purpose of this assignment is twofold:
1. To help you develop a way of explaining “Interdisciplinary Studies,” and
2. To encourage you to develop an identity as an interdisciplinarian.
What To Do
To complete this assignment you will write a short autobiography. It should be about 5 paragraphs long. It should be written in proper academic language with careful attention to writing mechanics. Each paragraph should be fully developed with proper structure: a topic sentence, body sentences, and a concluding sentence.
Here’s is a basic formula of what the autobiography needs to include:
1. A good definition of Interdisciplinary Studies. For this, you MUST refer explicitly to Chapter 3 of your text and to this article here: https://www.progressiveconnexions.net/2017/the-interdisciplinary-life/ (Links to an external site.). Use proper APA or MLA formatting for in-text citations and references. This chapter refers to 2 types of interdisciplinarity (critical and instrumental). Your definition must clearly explain each.
Theories of intelligence
1)Chapters 4 prepares you to understand learners differences through current hierarchical theories, including multiple theories of intelligence. Please discuss three of the guidelines to consider when interpreting IQ tests.
2) The use of labels to describe exceptional children has both positive and negative consequences. Discuss those consequences in terms of their impact on the students and the regular classroom teacher.
