Language And Materials Request

Language And Materials Request

Scenario

You work as an educator in a diverse preschool setting at ABC Early Learning program. You are requesting materials from your program leadership to enhance language and literacy development with the children in your care. To ensure that your request will be granted, you must provide a detailed rationale for your request, including how the materials will help achieve your goals for children with diverse language needs or dual language learners.

Instructions

Examples include children’s books, puppets, flannel board stories, props, photos, games, etc. At least four (4) materials must support children with diverse language needs or dual language learners. No more than two (2) children’s books can be included.

In your rationale, use a bulleted list format and provide the following for each material you are requesting:

  • The name and a detailed description of the material. If the material is homemade, be sure to include all the components needed to create it.
  • An explanation of how the material will foster language and create opportunities for expanded language use. Refer to at least one (1) resource from the course content resources.
  • An explanation of how the material will support diverse language needs or dual language learners. Refer to at least one (1) resource from the course content resources.

Barriers to critical thinking

Barriers to critical thinking

In week 1, I asked the class to reflect on the barriers to critical thinking and analyze which ones they have committed. Much like critical thinking barriers, it is almost impossible to avoid fallacies when your argument becomes long enough. To that end, please respond to the following:

1:  Think about a disagreement (in person, over the phone, or heck, on the internet) that you’ve had with someone where a fallacy occurred:  What was the fallacy? Who committed it? What effect did it have on the argument?

2:  Fallacies are sometimes described as ‘faulty reasoning shortcuts’. When you’re pressed (or stressed) in an argument, which fallacy do you tend to fall back on, knowingly or unknowingly?

Remember:

Your textbook, as well as this week’s handouts, have specific terminology related to logical fallacies. However, you are welcome to draw upon larger lists, such as the “Master Fallacy List (Links to an external site.)” found in this week’s additional resources, or by clicking on the hyperlinked text earlier in this sentence.

 

Modern spectacle event

Modern spectacle event

The reading this week discusses spectacle events held by the nobility in Western Europe, particularly France and Spain. The concept of the spectacle event never left, and we are surrounded by many examples of such events in modern times. For this discussion, please share an event that fits into the definition of a spectacle. Make sure you describe your example event in detail, and point out how this event fits into the spectacle category.

You will need to post one time with your example of a modern spectacle event and post again in response to someone else. Please remember you are graded on both posts. Your response posts need to be engaging and go beyond just a few sentences stating things like “great point”, or “I agree with you”. This is a discussion forum, so think about it just like that, as a discussion. Simply agreeing with someone or liking their post does not set the stage for a discussion.

Note

Overall this should be a fun topic, as there are many spectacle events happening around us. I am interested to see what examples you come up with.

Social Work
