The peoples’ history of the Valley of Mexico

/in /by

1) Why might it be important to briefly learn about the peoples’ history of the Valley of Mexico, Central America, and South America before discussing the first peoples of the modern-day United States based on the textbook chapter? In other words, how might the history of the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Inca encourage us to think differently about the popular narrative/mainstream history of the US?

2) What were some key points/quotes that resonated with you from this week’s textbook chapter, “Follow the Corn,” and why? Please include specific examples.

3) How might the textbook chapter connect to one of our key terms from last week? How and why?

4) What are your thoughts/reactions to Winona LaDuke’s TED Talk? What might the points discussed be significant in our understanding of this week’s material?

5) What were your previous understandings of Christopher Columbus, or what did you learn about him in grade school? How did both articles challenge your previous perspective of Christopher Columbus?

6) Compare/contrast the authors’ perspectives from the “Columbus Day Comic” and the “Flawed Critique of Columbus Day.”

7) What does the term “Doctrine of Discovery” mean, and what is its significance as we analyze US history from an Indigenous perspective?

8) In the textbook, what does the chapter title “Culture of Conquest” mean/refer to? What were some key passages in the chapter that stood out to you, and why?

Notion of standard language

/in /by

Read: Blog posted by Katherine J. Dallaston:” What do Santa Claus, unicorns, and Standard Language have in common?” Posted on February 28, 2017. Read/view its text and the TedX video contained within.

Read Also: Rosina Lippi-Green. “The Linguistic Facts of Life.” (Chapter One, pp 7-39) in English with an Accent Language, ideology, and discrimination in the United States.  Routledge New York, 199

Value = 25 Pts  (5 Time, 5 Preparation, 5 explanation of the idea of a standard language, 5 demonstrated familiarity with the materials, 5 Analysis).

1) In approximately 300 words, prepare your thoughts on the idea of a “standard language.” You may reference Chapter One of Lippi-Green’s “The Linguistic Facts of Life” for a more formal definition and description of the notion of a standard language and its political motivations. You may also recall our discussions of linguistic nationalism as well.  300 words is about the average length of most of our discussion forum posts.  That amounts to about a double-spaced page and a half (no headings).

NOTE I WILL DO NEXT TWO STEPS BASED ON PAPER

2) Deliver this clearly in a three minute video.

3) Upload your video AND 300 word text*  to your computer or device and click the “Insert/edit Media” button in the tool bar above your text box entry. 

Almost done!

*NOTE: THIS TEXT DOES NOT NEED TO BE “PROPER” or grammatically correct. Your focus here is on oral communication, less on written.

Resources

Microsoft Word icon Attributes and Evaluation of Discussion Contributions. 

PDF icon Professional Communications and Writing Guide.

In this unit, you are introduced to a variety of theories of intelligence, including Spearman’s two-factor theory (1927), Cattell-Horn’s two-factor theory (1966), Luria’s information processing approach (1966), Cattell-Horn and Carroll’s CHC model (1997), and Carroll’s three-stratum theory (1997).

For this discussion:

•Describe how these theories differ in regard to the ever-reversing role of general intellectual ability factor (g).

•Explain how these theories are relied upon in each of the following current tests that you also read about in this unit. Please note that some of these tests may now rely on more than one theory, or a theory different than the original versions of the same test. Subsequently, you will need to address such multiple contributions and only for the versions listed below (for example, fifth edition). 

◦Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, fourth and fifth editions.

◦Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, second edition.

◦Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, fifth edition.

◦Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities, third or fourth editions.

•Explain your thoughts regarding an intelligence test that has a dual theoretical basis, based on your readings and review of the theoretical influences on these tests. Explain your position by including consideration of validity.

•Explain which theory of intelligence you find yourself most affiliated with in the context of your professional goals. Explain how your selected theoretical model aligns with your interests and career.
