1. Watch and take notes on the classroom instruction video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-sAFxAt5wM&feature=youtu.be

2. As you are taking notes, think about how the teacher’s practice falls in line with the NC Professional Teaching Standards 2,3, & 4. See attached descriptions of standards.

Standard 2 – Teachers Establish a Respectful Environment for a Diverse Population of Students.
Standard 3 – Teachers Know the Content They Teach
Standard 4 – Teachers Facilitate Learning for Their Students

3. When finished watching and taking notes write a narrative on the following: how well does the teacher in the video demonstrate Standards 2, 3, 4?  What suggestions would I have for this teacher?  What strategy might I use in my own classroom?  What are the biggest takeaways?

Slavery

November 7, 2020 Leave a comment Chicago / Turabian, English and Literature

“William Wilberforce and the Idea of ‘Negro Inferiority.” Of all the arguments, social, racial, economic or what have you which argument for slavery does this article indicate was the most difficult for the abolitionists to contend with (argue against) and the most difficult for Parliament to ignore? How does the brief newspaper article “From the Diary on the Abolition of the African Tarde” reinforce this argument?

US Constitution

November 7, 2020 Leave a comment APA (edition "APA 6"), Law

We learned this week that the U.S. Constitution does not explicitly provide for the right to privacy.

Do some research into this issue — here is a good place to start: https://www.justia.com/constitutional-law/docs/privacy-rights/

Explain your thoughts on this matter — should the U.S. Constitution be amended to specifically define a right to privacy or, do you feel that the holdings of the U.S. Supreme Court (and tell me which cases) are sufficient protection in this matter; why or why not? Is there perhaps a specific privacy right that you feel particularly strong about personally; explain.  Make sure that you use specific examples and at least two resources to substantiate your opinion.

Any topic (writer’s choice)

Discussion Forums:
Students will be provided with an article(s) on a political issue and will be
required to submit the following:
1) Students will write a 400, not to exceed 450, word position paper over the work assigned
by the instructor. The bibliography and heading do not count towards the required word
count. The paper must be written in MLA format, double spaced, and include a bibliography if
outside sources are used. Students are expected to utilize proper grammar and syntax.

Topic:
The last month has seen civil rights protests in the wake of the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis. The national discussion over civil rights has been wide ranging and one aspect of that discussion involves the way in which police shootings are investigated/prosecuted. Some argue that the close relationship between local police and district attorneys makes a proper investigation of police conduct difficult. There have been calls for a police shootings to be handled through an independent prosecutor that does not normally work with local police. In what came as a surprise to some, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton proposed that his office, the State Attorney Generals Office, investigate police shootings in Texas instead of local district attorneys.
Perform further research and arrive at a position. Should investigations of police be handled by an independent prosecutor or should they continue to be handled by local district attorneys?

Project 3: Theoretical Framework based on analysis of the related literature: Due Week 9

In Project 3, we shift the gear from describing what you have read as in Project 2 to create your own narrative using what you have learned from the literature. The technique is called Content Analysis of your literature.
A theoretical framework is a formal paper with references and citations in correct APA format. In this paper, you will organize and develop a full description of all relevant issues and factors on your topic/research question that you have learned from the literature analysis.
This paper begins with the introduction of your topic and research question(s), a description of why it is important or significant. In the introduction, you will also make a statement of the problem and context (or background) of your research topic.  (See Chapter IV for guidance.)
In the main body of this paper, you will develop a cogent research paper in which concepts, issues, other substantive matters, and the relationships among them are discussed, ending with a summary and conclusion. The conclusion is effective in a visual diagram.
Many parts of your initial research question will be answered in this paper; feel free to rephrase your research question after having done this initial part of your research.
This paper requires the minimum 15 pieces of literature and 18 pages of writing (excluding references), double-spaced, font size 12. All citation and references MUST be in APA
