Intimate Link of Domestic and Foreign policies

/in /by

Domestic and foreign policy are intimately intertwined. At no time is this more clear than in periods of
prolonged war. Prominent individuals from the authors of the Anti-Federalist and Federalist Papers to Benjamin
Franklin and George Washington on up to Randolph Bourne early in the last century to contemporaries like
Robert Higgs and Ron Paul have understood this well, warning against the dangers — particularly to a republic
— of standing armies, entangling alliances, and imperial adventurism abroad. Draw upon your required reading
and viewing material to explain the nature of such dangers (i.e., their consequences). Where does the United
States stand with regard to such dangers today? Do you think the fears of these men are legitimate, even
timeless? Or do they stem from quaint, outmoded notions that have no place in this day and age?

Learning theories and instructional approaches to meet the unique needs of learners

/in /by

CLO 1: Compare a variety of learning theories and instructional approaches to meet the unique needs of learners (i.e., individual, small group, and/or whole class).
CLO2: Compare knowledge of typical and atypical child and adolescent development in the identification of appropriate instructional services (including methodologies, strategies, resources, and technologies) to support a wide range of learners and ensure equitable access to the curriculum.
CLO3: Analyze data from a variety of assessments and data sources (e.g. IEP, IFSP, ITP, 504), and their implications for learning objectives and plans; monitoring student progress; differentiating, making accommodations, and making adaptations; identifying strategies and environmental supports appropriate to the individual student’s success, and incorporating critical and creative thinking.
Deliverable
Create an electronic presentation (Prezi, PPT, Weebly, etc.) on Learning Theories. You must include for each given theory the connections to UDL and also to your current teaching schema of your whole class and your 3 Focus Students (ITL 604). How are you currently using theories in your teaching practices and which learners are you targeting this learning theory for (who does it provide additional access to?).

You must provide a reference page and have citations throughout your presentation of the learning theories. Be creative – you may use videos, pictures, charts or other multi-modal (be sure to use citations).

Resources
In order to access some of the information, familiarize yourself with the following resources to use in the following activity. USE THEM ALL to complete the assignment. That being said, you should have all of these in your references and using them as citations BUT you can also find additional resources with the criteria that the resource is current (in the last 5 years) and is research based (not someone’s opinion).

Laws around home ownership

/in /by

Instructions
The following is a list of elements from American History where people were denied opportunity or systematically disenfranchised and diminished (not exhaustive). Students should choose one of interest and explore how injustice and discrimination created a legacy that continues be a factor in modern times.

Laws around home ownership (redlining)
Educational access and opportunity
Forced relocation (Japanese internment)
Land dispossession and forced migration (Native Americans)
Occupational access and opportunity
Fair wage access and workers rights

Briefly describe the issue that you’ve chosen:
What was the policy/practice?
What was the impact on people that were subjected to it?
What was done to address or correct this issue?
Based on your research, do you believe that the efforts to respond to this were sufficient and/or significant? Why or why not?
What are impacts from this (both the issue and the possible response) that are still present for modern people and in modern society? What are the echoes and ripples that exist even now?
How might these shape people’s abilities to thrive in America currently? How might these impact people’s involvement and engagement within community and team opportunities?

LOVE’S INCONSISTENCY

/in /by

Act as a critic for one of the various subjects under the umbrella of the subject Humanities. Through a series of critiques, you will be demonstrating your background knowledge on these subjects and the themes studied in the Humanities. In general, a critic evaluates a work or piece based on a common language of a subject. For example, certain terminology is used in the film industry for aesthetic, whereas other terminology is used in architecture. Aside from a common language of art, each subject usually includes a history of influence-how a work was influenced by other works and how a work influence aspects of today’s art and culture. Critics use this common body of history and aesthetic to offer critiques, or judgements on the validity of the importance of aesthetic (it’s representation of beauty).

You will act as a critic for some of the main subjects covered in the humanities. You will conduct a series of short, evaluative critiques of film, philosophy, literature, music, and myth. You will respond to five different prompts, and each response should include an analysis of the topics using terminology unique to that subject area and should include an evaluation as to why the topic stands the test of time. The five prompts are as follows

  1. Choose a film and offer an analysis of why it is an important film, and discuss it in terms of film as art. Your response should be more than a summary of the film.
  2. Imagine you had known Plato and Aristotle and you had a conversation about how we fall in love. Provide an overview of how Plato would explain falling in love, and then provide an overview of how Aristotle might explain falling in love.
  3. Compare and contrast the two poems below:
    LOVE’S INCONSISTENCY
    I find no peace, and all my war is done;
    I fear and hope, I burn and freeze likewise
    I fly above the wind, yet cannot rise;
    And nought I have, yet all the world I seize on;
    That looseth, nor locketh, holdeth me in prison, And holds me not, yet can I ’scape no wise;
    Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,
    And yet of death it giveth none occasion.
    Without eyes I see, and without tongue I plain;
    I wish to perish, yet I ask for health;
    I love another, and yet I hate myself;
    I feed in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain;
    Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,
    And my delight is causer of my grief.
    Petrarch After great pain a formal feeling comes—
    The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs;
    The stiff Heart questions—was it He that bore?
    And yesterday—or centuries before?
    The feet mechanical go round
    A wooden way
    Of ground or air or ought
    Regardless grown,
    A quartz contentment like a stone.
    This is the hour of lead
    Remembered if outlived
    As freezing persons recollect
    The snow—
    First chill, then stupor, then
    The letting go
    Emily Dickinson
  4. Compare and contrast these two pieces of music:

Beethoven’s Violin Romance No. 2
Scott Joplin’s Maple Leaf Rag

  1. Explain in classical terms why a modern character is a hero. Choose from either Luke Skywalker, Indiana Jones, Bilbo Baggins, Harry Potter, Katniss Everdeen, or Ender Wiggins.
