education- Representation of autsim in childrens literature

/in /by

7,000 word dissertation that includes the introduction, literature review, methodology, 3 chapters and the conclusion.
It is a literature based dissertation based on autism and how autistic characters are represented in children’s books.
The main idea would be to talk about autism and its diagnosis process, linking this with how characters in children’s books show autistic traits. for example if looking at “my brother charlie” then it would mean to talk about how that characters autistic traits and cross referencing it with a different characters autistic traits from a different children’s book.
the three chapters would probably be based based on a certain theme and then discussing various book characters autistic traits similarities and differences.
example chapter themes could be Friendship?, emotions? Routines? Obsessions?

Geology4L final paper

Geology 4L: Final Paper
Goal: To understand the spheres that make up the Earth system and the processes through which they interact.
Using what you have learned this semester in Geology 4L, choose an event or process about which you are interested in learning more (e.g. Mount Saint Helen eruption, supervolcano eruptions, wildfires, increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere, the formation of diamonds, Hurricane Maria, a large meteor impact). Make sure to pick a topic that that is large enough to affect at least four of Earths spheres that we discussed this semester (i.e. atmosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, cosmosphere).
Your paper should: 1) focus on how your chosen event or process affects each sphere and 2) include as many connections as possible to what you have learned in the Geology 4L labs. 3) Include information on how this event affects/is affected by human activity. Use the diagram below to help you think about the types of interactions that could occur.

I encourage you to think creatively and to incorporate the expertise of your major and what you have learned in other classes into your project if it fits into the scope of the project.

Write a 400-word reflection on your learning how to implement the following SOCI 144 course learning objectives and your current ability to implement them:
Describe and explain the varying histories, developments, and movements associated with change-oriented non-formal learning programs (such as adult education, popular education, community education, and transformative education)

I’ve attached the prompt (please follow closely for it is very detailed. Also, please ignore the “facilitation guide” part), and I’ve also attached an example of this assignment completed by a fellow classmate, which you can use as a resource/rewrite, just please be sure ours is still original and doesn’t have any similarities, besides sources/data, that the professor may catch. Please add a title Page (“Final Exam”) and resource page. Format everything in ASA. Thank You!

Story From a Different POV

/in /by

Now it’s your turn to tell a story…but from a different point of view (POV).

Pick a character from a fable, fairy tale, myth, or folktale…other than the main character(s).  Retell the story from their perspective.  We saw how different The Three Little Pigs story was when we learned about how the wolf felt.  You also saw how committed Cinderella’s stepsisters really were in the Grimm’s version.  I wonder what motivated them to take such drastic measures….So pick a story and give it a new perspective.

Your story doesn’t have to be as long as the original, just enough to help the reader recognize the original but also see how different it can be when told from a different point of view.

When you are done, be sure to comment on at least one of your classmate’s stories.  Let them know if you like the new perspective more or not…and why.
