Education
Listening and speaking skills
When focusing on listening and speaking skills, it is essential to make a connection to interpersonal communication skills that will be used throughout the students’ educational and professional future. Through hearing how others use language, and using it themselves, students work together, describe their surroundings, and make sense of their own and each other’s experiences. Integrating listening and speaking skills with reading and writing instruction reemphasizes the importance of language and literacy in everyday life.
For this assignment, use the “COE Lesson Plan Template” to create a lesson plan for the students in the “Class Profile” that focuses on listening and speaking, and is based on the literature you previously selected.
Include the following in your lesson:
Objectives aligned to state or national grade appropriate listening and speaking standards
Content-specific vocabulary development
Engaging instructional strategies and activities in listening and speaking
Assessment aligned to learning objectives that is engaging for students and provides meaningful feedback
Differentiation to meet learning differences or needs
In a 250-500 word reflection, rationalize your instructional choices, citing how the listening and speaking activities chosen build upon the previously taught English language arts skills. Justify why the listening and speaking strategies implemented are essential.
APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
Personal responsibility
Write a 800-100 word (word count does NOT include Cover page, Abstract or Reference pages) Argumentative essay over your approved topic.
My Topic is : Pros of wearing school uniform
Abstract is needed for this APA paper
Remember emotion has no room in this essay. Stick to the facts to support your argument. You must include aspects of personal responsibility and decision making in the choices of your argumentative topic. In your essay you will evaluate choices and actions, and relate consequences to your decision on the stance of your topic. Feel free to include similar comments about personal responsibility regarding the opposing side of your topic.
You will have to use at least two outside sources (No Wikipedia or social media sources:Twitter, Facebook etc.). You must correctly cite all sources in APA style both within your essay and on your References page. You should also consult the Online Writing Lab (OWL):
https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/a…
on correct APA citations both on your References page and within your essay.
As always, ALL assignments must be done in APA style, double-spaced, size 12 Times New Roman font. See the sample APA essay at this link and make yours look like it:

Parent/Family Flyer
Parent/Family Flyer Assignment – It’s time for another flyer! Something I love about this course is that you have less essay-type assignments and more practical “use this in your classroom tomorrow” assignments. I encourage you to use the Microsoft Word flyer templates. They are free, easy to use, and look professional! Here are just some of the flyers that you can access in Word:
You will name and describe four activities that encourage family involvement, but remember that this is a flyer, so those descriptions will be brief.
Parent and family involvement is crucial in early childhood education. Creating strong partnerships with families will help support young children in their development. It is up to the early childhood educator to facilitate these partnerships and to encourage parent and family involvement. For this assignment, you will create a flyer for parents using the “Flyers” template in Microsoft Word. You must create an engaging and interesting flyer that will entice parents to become involved in the classroom. Identify and describe at least four activities that will encourage parent/family involvement. When choosing your activities, review Chapter 6 to ensure that your ideas are culturally sensitive. You are required to include at least one activity that is discussed in Chapter 6. Provide a title and a short description for each activity. Include one scholarly source in addition to the text to support your activities. The flyer should be no longer than two pages. Be sure to include APA formatted references for the textbook and the additional scholarly source on the bottom of the
