Response Guidelines

You will likely each have a different answer to this final discussion question, given your different specialization and goals. Comment on at least two other learners’ plans. Identify areas of strength in their plan and areas where they can make improvements.

Note: Remember, all of your discussion posts are expected to be written at a graduate level, be free from typos and spelling errors, and follow standard English grammar. You will need to support your points with in-text citations and references in APA style. This may include your readings for this course, but also outside scholarly sources that you obtain relevant to this discussion from our library.

The early Romantic period thus coincides with what is often called the “age of revolutions,” including the American (1776) and the French (1789) revolutions and also the initial transformations of the Industrial Revolution. As such, Regina wrote, “In the 19th century a wave of romantic nationalism swept the European continent transforming its countries.” In other words, I don’t think it is a coincidence that the Romantic Era popped up when it did. Feelings of nationalism allowed these artists to express what people were really thinking. Taslin agreed, saying, “The Age of Revolution meant that people were for a lack of a better word, fighting for what they wanted or freedom and exploring new ideas.” Two of the best examples I can think of in this regard are the French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau and the Spanish painter Francisco Goya. Romantics were very much into expressing exactly what was on their minds at all times, i.e. brutal honesty. Riham wrote, “It was honest to the point that its topics were sometimes criticized for going against societal behavior.” This point especially applies to Goya, who would go from jolly and light-hearted in one painting to deeply pessimistic and angry in others. The angry side is very much depicted in his 85-print “Disasters of War” series, that are both compelling and sinister in their bloody depiction of the reality of war. Going against acceptable societal behavior is also something that describes Rousseau, often called the father of Romanticism. As a philosopher, Rousseau was anti-philosophy and anti-printing press…and could never give up his desire for exhibitionism and public spankings. Odd behavior aside, Rousseau was simply doing the same thing as Nationalist Goya, but on an individual level. Someone wrote, “Romanticism was counterpoint to the nationalism in French that had led to Unity of French people.” So is that how we finally reconcile the Romantics? By saying they represent our subconscious desires?

Language Rich Environment

All children learn language in a language-rich environment.  In thinking about what you have learned about language so far, how will you design the physical space of your classroom to allow for language opportunities?  You will need to think about the type of communication and interactions that you would like to see take place throughout your classroom.

For example, you might place drawing paper and clipboards in the block area to help foster communication so that children can draw their block creations on paper and share them with other children.  Having a large open space in the block area invites cooperation so children can verbally communicate and work together on large building structures.  You also might have the block shelf labeled for children to be able to see and provide books of shapes and building for children to explore.

For this assignment, you will create a floor plan of your classroom that fosters language development. Your classroom design should have a minimum of three physical areas of the classroom detailed including an explanation of how the design supports language acquisition.  You can use web resources such as Classroom Architect or Gliffy to design your classrooms or you may use Microsoft Word to draw your design using shapes and the textbox feature.  If you choose to use Classroom Architect or Gliffy, you will need to download your design as a PDF file or JPG file and insert the image into a Word document before uploading your final assignment.

For each area (minimum of three) that you define in your classroom floor plan, you must include the following:

1. Explain how the area is set up
2. Explain how specifically the area supports language development
3. Describe the activity or experience that the children can specifically be engaged in
4. Explain what the role of the teacher will be 
5. How you will assess the effectiveness of this area on language development

This assignment should be completed in a two- to three-page paper (in addition to the title page and reference page) that accompanies your visual floor plan.  Your project should be written in APA format as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center, and include at least two scholarly resources in addition to the course text.  Please remember to provide evidence from the textbook to support your design features.  You must also provide a reference citation in APA format at the bottom of your floor plan.

When you submit your assignments each week, they will be returned to you with specific feedback. This feedback should be used to revise the assignment for the Final Project.  Please make the necessary corrections and save for Week Five use in the Final Project.
