It is important to explore how literature illuminates life by conducting an inquiry on a topic of diversity in children’s Picture Books. You will be developing your skills in evaluating literature by applying genre-specific evaluation criteria and reading with a critical stance. You will write a 3-4 page paper to analyze your theme and reflect upon how your theme is addressed in the literature. You must provide a Bibliography, which is not included in the page count.
1. Choose 4 Picture Books with a related theme
2. Read and Analyze the Books
3. Write a 3-4 page analysis of the theme.  Answering the following questions:
What is the theme/issue you studied, and what is its importance in society?
What are some possible root causes for the issue you are examining?
How does this issue affect children today?
How can you use these books to approach critical social issues with children?
Potential Themes for exploration include:
Children with disabilities, Sexuality/ LGBT, Foster and Adoption, Social Justice/ Activism, Saving the Environment, Refugee Experiences, Gender (ie: portrayal of boys, strong female characters), Immigration, Poverty, Homelessness, Bullying, Overcoming challenges/risk-taking, Kindness, Handling Grief, Resiliency

Every content area that is taught in higher education has a Specialized Professi

/in /by

Every content area that is taught in higher education has a Specialized Professional Association (SPA) that produces standards that should be taught. Find the SPA for your content area. Some examples are NCTE (English), NCTM (Mathematics), ILA (Reading), NCSS (Social Studies/History), and NSTA (Science). Once you have located your SPA, find the most recent standards the association has written for initial licensure programs. Review the standards and choose one.
Using the standard you chose, write an objective that students could accomplish in order to meet that standard. Objectives have three parts: behavior, condition, and criterion. The behavior is what students will be able to do and is derived directly from the standard. The condition is how the students will do it, typically some type of activity. The criterion is the degree of accuracy you would like to observe.
Finally, in 250-500 words, describe the assessment you would use to measure whether or not the students achieved the objective and mastered the standard. This should be on one document. Your paper should include:
Standard (from the SPA)
Objective
Assessment
APA style is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.

Q1. What in your opinion defines public organizations/public bureaucracies? How are these organizations different from private agencies? What does the word “public” in “public organization” convey to you? If you are to capture the general sentiment/view about the workings of public organizations in the U.S, how would you describe it? Think of some example of public organizations at the federal, state and local levels.
Q2. Analyze the “Ken Welch” case that is presented in Chapter 1 from Marxist, Weberian, and Freudian perspectives.
Q3. Analyze the ethical dilemmas that individuals encounter when working in public organizations using the second case study discussed in Chapter 1
