Presentation of Educational
Strategies
Create five educational strategies, specific to your grade level and
discipline, that demonstrates understanding and respect for individual
and group diversity. The strategies should include special
considerations for 1) learning disability in reading, 2) limited English
proficiency, and 3) the economically disadvantaged. The strategies
should also include at least one component of technology. Strategies
will be presented during the 4th class meeting and should be uploaded to
the Moodle site prior to the presentation. You should provide
handouts (with the strategies) to the other class members. The
strategies should consist of one paragraph (no less than five sentences)
for each of the strategies.
The student will create a Response to
Literature (RTL) by creating a video, or using Storytelling to present
his/her RTL to the class. This assignment is due during the last
class meeting.
Reflective assignments may require you to
look at
various articles within different formats, e.g. HTML, Adobe Reader, Web
pages, etc. A goal of this course is to provide individuals with the
ability to access and read information directly from the Internet. Printing documents
from this Website is acceptable. However, if at all possible try to read
the documents directly from the Internet.
Writing reflections requires the ability to identify the topic or thesis
statement of the article. Stay within the parameter of the thesis
statement. The reflection should not contain your opinions (unless
otherwise specified) or broad
statements that are out of context. Generalized or rhetorical
statements should be avoided.
The best way to write a reflection for this course is to understand that
that they may consist of the positive(s) and negative(s) of an article.
This link, "The
40 Reflection Questions," provides you with a list of questions that
may help you to better understand and give you ideas for creating your
reflections.
For the
purposes of this course, the reflective articles may either be
handwritten or typewritten. The reflective articles will be
discussed using the Harkness Seminar
during the week in which they are assigned. Complete the "article
reflection documents (below) before the class meeting. They will
be turned in after the Harkness Seminar
has been completed.
Complete the following reading assignments using the "Article
Reflection" directions. A Harkness
Seminar will be completed during class and the Article Reflection
will be turned in after the session.
