This week, you will write a commentary based on any THREE assigned short documentary films from USA Today.

Instructions for Commentary

• Your commentary should be 800 words.
• Make sure to read about the project before watching the films. Use your knowledge of the project to develop your main argument.
• Writing a commentary means you analyze an issue based on the information given to you and write your opinion about it (as it was presented). Here is an example: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-real-border-crisis-is-trumps-remain-in-mexico-policy/2020/03/06/02d6964c-5cd8-11ea-9055-5fa12981bbbf_story.html (Links to an external site.)
• Support your arguments with proper sources, and cite your sources (use any citation format you wish)
• List the three documentaries you watched.
• Some questions to help guide you (you can also write about things not captured in these questions–don’t restrict yourself only to these)
  1. Why did you choose the three documentaries that you watched and not others?
  2. What was your reaction to these films? What appealed to you? What didn’t?
  3. Before reading about this project ‘The Wall’, what were the aspects of the US-Mexico ‘border’ (or any border in general) that you hadn’t thought about?
  4. Before reading about this project ‘The Wall’, what were the aspects of migration that you hadn’t thought about?
  5. Based on what you saw/read, if you were a policy-maker, how would you address the issue of migration, both legal and illegal?
  6. From what you know, do you think governments are doing a good job of handling migration?

Ashford 6: – Week 5 – Discussion 2

 

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.

 

     

IFSP   and Early Intervention

 You have just taken a position as a teacher in an Early Head Start program.  A 6-month-old child has been referred to a doctor for strabismus. In the toddler room, the director and head teacher are talking to a parent about their observations of a 2-year-old, who does not attend or make eye contact when his name is called, and is cognitively and socially assessed at the 12-month-old level. This is a 12-month delay for a 24-month-old child.  You have heard them talking about early intervention and a possible individual family service plan (IFSP).  Since these terms are new to you, find out what these are and find out how children in your community would be able to access early intervention services.  In your discussion post, discuss five to six services all children can receive from early intervention and how an IFSP works in your community.  What are the ages that children can receive services in your community and then who might provide those services?  You can access this information via the web by looking up early intervention in your state or community or by talking to a local provider in your area.
 

Guided Response:  Read and respond to at least two of your peers.  Compare and contrast what you have discovered about Early Intervention services and IFSPs in your area.  Talk about how these services support children and families.

Step 1: Review Turnip Plaza Hotel Case

Invigorated by your early success at Colossal Corporation, you open The Turnip Plaza Hotel case file Kenneth Dodger has provided to you. In the next step, you will gather the information you need to write the report.

Step 2: Gather and Analyze Information

INBOX (1 NEW EMAIL)

From: Kenneth Dodger, Vice President, Colossal Corporation

To: You

Good morning,

Hope you’ve had time to review the case file on The Turnip Plaza Hotel. In order to formulate a sound response to my questions, you’ll need to review a number of specific foundational issues involving legal contracts.

First, find the necessary information about contract formation and execution. Then, look into possible contract remedies for when a breach of contract occurs. As you read over this information, be sure to record your thoughts pertaining to the case, while noting the places in the readings that prompted your thoughts.

After you have refreshed your understanding of contract law generally, you should supplement that understanding by doing legal research on specific laws related to contracts in Michigan. Again, make sure to take notes as you read. Good notes will help you write your report.

Thinking over this case, put some of your focus on Edward Griffin’s role in this situation with Mark Piper. More specifically, consider whether Edward had the authority to make the promise he made (or any promises) to Mark.

Review the legal responsibilities of agents and employees to help formulate your answer. You should also review ethical business decision making, as it pertains to keeping promises in business situations and the ethical questions I have asked you to consider.

I trust you to perform with the same tenacity as you did with the first cases.

Thanks,

Ken

In the next step, you will use what you have learned to create an outline that will prepare you to write the report.

Step 3: Focus on Your Rationale and Conclusions: Create Your Outline

You’ve finished your research and reflected on how the facts and the law come together in this situation. You’ve also analyzed the possible arguments and determined which seem most reasonable (all things considered). Now it is time to formulate them, making sure to address all the concerns that VP Dodger expressed to you when you met. Outline the report that you will draft for your VP and review your document to make certain it covers all relevant points and progresses in a logical order.

After you finish the outline, if you have time, give yourself one night of sleep before you begin the next step, in which you will write the report. Fresh eyes might help you see points that need revision.

Step 4: Communicate Your Findings and Conclusions to the VP: Create Your Report

Use your outline and research notes to prepare your report for the VP. Be sure to meet the following requirements he has requested:

• Format your report by including APA-formatted in-text citations and an APA-formatted reference list (do not format the body of the report using APA style, just the reference list). See references and citations for details.
• Include a specific recommendation of what action, if any, the VP should take based on your analysis and conclusions.
• Support your conclusion with references to legal principles and laws.
• The report should be no more than 10 pages (double spaced, 12-point font; the reference list does not count towards page limit).

Step 5: Review Colossal’s International Legal Challenges

Successfully completing the Turnip Plaza report, you’re ready to review your next assignment: the International Legal Challenges case file.

You open the file and read over the specifics of this situation. You soon see that VP Dodger is concerned about some of the risks involved with a number of Colossal’s international projects.

In the next step, you will gather the information you need to identify important issues for the VP.

Step 6: Gather and Analyze the Information

While you have some general awareness that there are many ramifications of international transactions from a legal perspective, including dispute resolution provisions, you realize that you need to know a lot more about this subject before you can attempt to respond to the VP’s questions.

You begin by researching international law, international contracts, an introduction to alternative dispute resolution, and international dispute resolution.

Step 7: Engage in the International Legal Challenges Discussion

Discussion with Colleagues

Now that you’ve gathered and analyzed information on the International Legal Challenges case file, Vice President Dodger would like you to discuss your thoughts with the other members of his special investigations team. He sends you two requirements for this discussion:

First, each participant is to post an initial response to at least two of the five questions noted in the International Legal Challenges file. This should be completed during Week 5 and should meet the following requirements:

• Include a specific recommendation of what action, if any, the VP should take based on your analysis and conclusions.
• Support your conclusion with references to legal principles and laws.
• These posts can be as long or as short as you need in order to effectively make your points.
