Supportive Essay
Both stories “Half a Day” and “The Lesson” are about school. Both are about much more than that. How do the “other things that the stories are about appear”? Is it through title of story, theme, symbol, character and more? What are those things? This topic suggests writing a solid contrast response. Organize and write a supportive essay about the “other things that the stories are about”; use quotes from the stories to support and expand your ideas. Read the Introduction carefully, engage your critical thinking insights and ideas from the Introduction, “Innocence” throughout your response and add in-text citation. MLA Style! In-text citations and a works cited Page. Must be 450-700 words.
Analyzing Current Involvement Programs
As research shows, family and community involvement has a positive impact on student learning. Therefore, it is imperative for schools to expand community involvement interactions and support from parents, relatives, businesses, and agencies.
Key Ideas and Practical Application
In each of the units of the course with assigned readings, class members post discussion of three “key ideas,” one from each of the assigned readings. The key ideas assignment is intended to encourage reflective reading and demonstrate application of the idea within the public sector. A key idea addresses what the student finds to be an important or useful concept. Each key idea entry assesses its importance, strengths and/or weaknesses, practical application, or points of interest or confusion. Key ideas should be briefly linked to news events, societal conditions, or personal experience. Key ideas are about specific concepts from a portion of a reading, though sometimes they are central to an entire reading. Key ideas entries do not summarize entire assigned readings or the posted course notes for the unit.

JEFFERSONIAN WORLD’S VIEW
The context that had created and supported the Jeffersonian world view (that of the yeomanfarmer as the bedrock of American democracy and the American economy) disappeared by the mid-nineteenth century, prompted by a shift toward an economy based on commerce, manufacturing, and larger scale agricultural endeavors. What is your best explanation for why this change took place? What impact did this change have upon the ethics and civics of what it meant to be an American? Be sure to consider change over time and geographical differences in your analysis.
