Grand Canyon University Classroom Volunteer Plan

/in /by

I’m studying for my Sociology class and need an explanation.

 

Community involvement in the classroom helps establish a safe environment for young children to grow up in and learn to be a functioning citizen. Establishing volunteer opportunities early in a school year develops a strong united team between families, teachers, and state agencies who provide assessment and other services to meet students’ diverse developmental needs. Many teachers seek volunteers as early as Meet the Teacher night.

Develop a 10-12 slide digital presentation that you could present to families at Meet the Teacher night to encourage them to engage in their child’s education by volunteering in the classroom. This presentation should include:

  • The positive effects family and community involvement in the classroom can have on student learning outcomes.
  • Five or more expectations for volunteers in your classroom, including any health and safety requirements.
  • At least 1-2 examples of child-centered educational activities volunteers could be involved in that extend the learning community beyond the classroom.
  • Five or more volunteer options varied to provide opportunities for families with diverse schedules, cultures, languages, and worldviews.
  • At least 2-3 community resources to assist families in engaging in their child’s education.
  • Include a title slide, references slide and presenters notes.

I don’t understand this Social Science question and need help to study.

Your assignment is to write 2 paragraphs giving an overall impression or thought about any of the topics covered in this section of the class. Some possible things you MIGHT choose to write about: What observations or thoughts came into my mind as a result of learning this material? What do you see differently about society now? What did you find particularly interesting? Did you have any insights into the events of your life you wouldn’t have had before? What theories in the course convince you so far? Which ones do you find to be a problem? Did you try any of the “practices” in the notes? If so, how did they go? Did you want to comment on any of the “thought questions” in the notes? Pick one of these or just whatever comes to mind. What you write about is very open.

Global Rohingya people of Myanmar Crisis Research Paper

/in /by

Need help with my Social Science question – I’m studying for my class.

 

Choose a current event that is making national or international headlines; your instructor can help you decide. It might be a story about an election, a natural disaster, the global economy, a highly publicized criminal trial, or an event in the entertainment industry.

Then, analyze how race, ethnicity, socioeconomic class, and gender intersect and impact the event itself, the coverage of the event, and the event’s results. For example, if you decide to look at mass shootings in the United States, you will discuss who the shooters are (race, ethnicity, class, gender) and how the media portrays them (race, ethnicity, class, gender) as well as the victims (race, ethnicity, class, gender), etc. How old are the perpetrators and the victims? How quickly was the media to cover the story? Who are the reporters (race, gender)?

This is an analytical research paper where you will be following the case/event and using scholarly resources to guide your critical thinking throughout your report. That is, support statements with evidence.

The portfolio project is an 8-10-page research paper (approximately 3,500 words). Your paper must be properly cited and formatted.
