Community Center Proposal Outline

Last week we began working on the creation of the Community Child Development Center proposal by developing activities to promote physical development.  In this week’s discussion, you have added to that by focusing on activities and toys that promote cognitive development.  In this assignment, you will begin to create the overarching structure of your proposal.   The focus of this outline to is to present as clear a picture as possible of your proposal so that you may receive feedback which will guide you as you create your final project. Please refer to the Final Project guidelines for more information on the Final Project as you prepare the outline of your proposal.  Using the PSY 104 Community Center Proposal Template, you are to identify all of the activities and objects for each of your five rooms. Remember that you have already completed three activities in week two, and your discussion this week will add an additional activity and a toy.  Be sure to incorporate those elements into your outline! You do not have to flesh out the details; the outline will just provide the blueprint for where you are heading.  Remember that each room must contain two activities and one toy or object.  Each room must address physical, cognitive, and psychosocial development.  In addition, each room must address at least one theme.  The outline can be formatted in bulleted points like this:

Paragraph 1

  • Identify the activity (all you need here is the title of the activity)
  • Identify the theory and/or research you will use to support the use of this class or activity (i.e Piaget’s formal operations, Erikson’s psychosocial development, etc)  You only need to identify it in the outline—not explain it yet
  • Identify which developmental domain(s)  this activity supports (physical, cognitive, and psychosocial)

Paragraph 2

  • Identify the activity (all you need here is the title of the activity)
  • Identify the theory and/or research you will use to support the use of this class or activity (i.e Piaget’s formal operations, Erikson’s psychosocial development, etc) You only need to identify it in the outline—not explain it yet
  • Identify which developmental domain(s) this activity supports (physical, cognitive, and psychosocial)

Paragraph 3

  • Identify the item
  • Identify the theory and/or research you will use to support the purchase of this item

Paragraph 4

  • Identify which theme(s) this room addresses: health and well-being, families and parenting, education, culture, and gender. Here are samples of how you might do that in your proposal.

The Community Child Development Center Proposal Outline

ENG225 Intro To Film

Week 3 – Assignment for ENG225 Introduction to film from Ashford EDU

Establishing Theme

 

Week Three Assignment Video transcript. Ashford University | ENG225 WEEK 03 The week 3 written assignment is an important continuation in our analysis of film. In understanding a film’s theme, we are getting to the core of what that film is about. Analyzing a film of your choice, you’ll identify that film’s primary theme and the elements that work to establish it throughout the film. Make sure to read through the guidelines carefully, noting all the different required elements, and take a look ahead at the rubric so you’ll know exactly how your work will be assessed. Here are a few key points to keep in mind as you work on your paper. It is important to explain theme in your introduction using your own words and clearly state the film’s theme in your thesis statement. You will identify at least three techniques– cinematography, lighting, acting style or direction, and/or design elements, set design, costuming, or hair and makeup and explain how these techniques and/or design elements contribute to the establishment of theme. Be sure to reference particular scenes or sequences in your explanations and describe how these techniques are being used in those scenes and what they do to establish theme. In analyzing the film Mise En Scene, you’ll want to describe how the things that appear on screen work to establish theme and how those design elements are consistent with the theme. Note– remember that a theme is an overarching idea that recurs throughout the plot of the film. It is the distilled essence of what the film is about, the main design which the specific scenes and actions lead a viewer to understand. Students often confuse theme with genre. The theme is not the genre. For instance, a Western and a fantasy can both have a theme of good versus evil. Here are a few more tips to remember. See the sample paper we’ve uploaded in the assignment prompt. This is a model of good student work, what your professors are looking for and the type of comments we will make. Also, keep in mind that the titles of films should be italicized. Click into the Ashford library English 225 study guide. It’s a portal dedicated to the kinds of articles, essays, and books that will be the most helpful resources as you work on your written assignment. Try to budget your time so that you can take advantage of the various resources offered by the Ashford Writing Center to ensure that your paper is written and polished. The week 3 assignment is a chance to develop your analytical skills and your understanding of the concepts introduced during our first three weeks. Give yourself an opportunity to succeed by preparing yourself thoroughly and working diligently to complete the paper.

### Directions for the paper Select a movie from  You can use one of the following (Gangster) The Godfather, The Godfather II or (Fantasy) The Wizard of OZ and explain how three cinematic techniques and/or design elements have helped establish a major theme in that film.

In 800 to 1200 words

· Describe a major theme of the movie you have selected using evidence from the movie itself as well as course resources and other scholarly sources to support your position.

· Identify at least three techniques (cinematography, lighting, acting style, or direction) and/or design elements (set design, costuming, or hair and makeup), and explain how these techniques and/or design elements contribute to the establishment of the theme. Reference particular scenes or sequences in your explanations.

· State your opinion regarding the mise en scène, including

· How the elements work together.

· How congruent the design elements are with the theme of the movie.

· Whether or not other techniques would be as effective (Explain your reasoning).

Note: Remember that a theme is an overarching idea that recurs throughout the plot of a film. It is the distilled essence of what the film is about, the main design which the specific scenes and actions lead a viewer to understand.

Your paper should be organized around a thesis statement that focuses on how the elements of your chosen feature-length film both establish and maintain one of its major themes. Review the Week Three sample paper, which provides an example of a well-developed analysis as well as insight on composition.

The paper must be 800 to 1200 words in length and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

You must use at least two scholarly sources other than the textbook to support your claims. Refer to the ENG225 Research Guide  # SEE BELOW in the Ashford University Library for guidance and to locate your sources. Cite your sources (including the feature-length film) within the text of your paper and on the reference page.

QUESTION1: According to N.T Wright’s understanding of character and virtue, what is character and how is it transformed? How does Wright differentiate a Biblical from a Greek moral framework? Evaluate Wright’s position and note where you agree and/or disagree with him. Defend your positions. How does character relate to the Kouzes and Posner leadership model and Maxwell’s reflections in chapter 3?

THE BOOK TO USE FOR QUESTION 1 IS TITLED AFTER YOU BELIEVE; WHY CHRISTIAN CHARACTER MATTERS. BY N.T WRIGHT 

QUESTION 2: In the second part of your essay, you will reflect on Badaracco’s question, “How flexible is my moral code?” How does Badaracco define moral flexibility through his observations of the character, Okonkwo? Is there tension between Badaracco’s moral flexibility and the integrity of values expressed by Kouzes/Posner and Maxwell in “model the way?” Should there be flexibility in one’s moral code? Biblically defend your response to this question.

THE BOOK FOR QUESTION 2 IS TITLED QUESTIONS OF CHARACTER; ILLUMINATING THE HEART OF LEADERSHIP THROUGH LITERATURE. BY JOSEPH BADARACCO, JR

Discussion: Applying Theories to Regional-Level Challenges

In the roles of social change agent, leader, and advocate, human services professionals have many responsibilities. At the regional level, multiple or missing standards, guidelines, laws, and regulations may pose challenges to human services professions. As a human services professional, you should be aware not only of your responsibilities, but also of any regional-level challenges you may encounter when attempting to fulfill your responsibilities.

To prepare:

  • Select a regional-level challenge related to human and social services professions and/or the roles and responsibilities of human and social services professionals. This should be a challenge you or the human services profession might face when attempting to address issues at the regional level, such as funding or available resources. Regional may include but is not limited to your local community, geographical zone, county, state/province, or surrounding locality.
  • Then, think about why addressing the challenge is important to the profession, as well as what difference the challenge’s resolution or improvement might make.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post the name of your region, as well as a brief description of the challenge you selected. Explain why addressing this challenge is important to the profession and what difference its resolution or improvement might make. Explain how you might apply change, leadership, and/or advocacy theories and processes to address the challenge. Describe the ethical challenges that might come into play when attempting to address the challenges. Be specific, and provide examples to illustrate your points.
