details of the contemporary sources

Finding contemporary sources: Students need to analyze at least FIVE contemporary sources for the paper. Contemporary sources are documents written at the time of an event or from people who were present at the event. Any contemporary sources may be used for this paper, including newspaper articles, letters, memoirs, military records, court minutes, etc…. Students should make sure their sources meet the following requirements.

1.Make sure it is written at the time of the event or by someone who witnessed the event. Owing to travel time, the revelation of new information, etc…, people will discuss events for weeks or even months after an event occurred, but usually anything beyond this should not be considered a contemporary source.

2.Make sure you’re not using a secondary source written by someone long after the event who was not present at the event. This is the same point as above, but it needs to be stated again. You should make sure that you’re not using a historical look at the event. You are using a source from around the time the event occurred. Generally this should mean that the source will be dated close to the day of the event. There are exceptions to this. For example, if someone who was present at the event writes an autobiography at a later date that includes their recollections of the event, this is okay. Just make sure the person had some sort of connection to the event. Sources that are collected and reprinted at later date are also okay to use as long as the document was first written at the time of the event.

3.For the third time: make sure the sources were written at the time of the event. DO NOT BE THE PERSON WHO USES COMMENTARY FROM A BOOK WRITTEN 200 YEARS AFTER THE EVENT AS ONE OF YOUR SOURCES. Many people will do this in spite of these three warnings. Do not be one of them.

4.MAKE SURE ALL OF YOUR SOURCES DIRECTLY RELATE TO YOUR EVENT. Just because you have a document from around the same time and date as your event doesn’t mean it has anything to do with your event. Make sure that each source goes into detail about your specific event, not something that is somewhat related to it.

5.DON’T USE GOOGLE to find your contemporary sources. Google seeks out popular sites, meaning you will end up with contemporary sources on events that have been discussed extensively. Use the digital archives below. Because they use internal search engines and text recognition software, Google’s engine doesn’t search many of them, meaning you will be able to find sources that have not been looked at by anyone since the time the event occurred. Also consider visiting physical archives to find sources.

6.Pick detailed contemporary sources. The more detailed the primary source, the easier it is to write the paper. Picking an event described at length in multiple newspapers articles, for example, means the student will have no problem summarizing the event. A short newspaper article requires the student to use conjecture. This takes time and can result in a poorly-written paper.

7.Make sure that you are not using the same source reprinted in different newspapers and try to find the source of the original report. Just like today, where Google, Yahoo, etc…, reprint Associated Press stories as their own, newspapers in the past would reprint stories from other papers. It is okay to use these stories and analyze them, just make sure that you are not using the same story twice. Hopefully this will be obvious.

Questions Related to History, Litigation, and Legislation Lectures Posted on Blackboard

Directions: Please answer each the following questions based on your reading and understanding of the lectures related to history, litigation, and legislation associated with special education. Where possible, provide brief responses. Please make sure that your responses are typed to make for ease of reading.

1. The history associated with special education had a beginning that was marred in much oppression, that often lead to death and ridicule. How does this history reflect that of other marginalized populations (In answering this portion of the question, I expect you to use your personal experience) and who were some of the champions that used their skills and knowledge to advocate on behalf of individuals with disabilities?

2. How does the concept of inclusion create the possibility of students/individuals with disabilities to have a more complete and positive experience in society?

3. Based on your reading, what role did Brown vs. Board of Education (Topeka, Kansas) play in the opportunity of students with disabilities getting a chance to receive a free, appropriate, and public education (FAPE)? What was the first case that used the results of Brown vs. Board of Education to argue on behalf of students with disabilities to get a public education?

4. Prior to 1972, only children with intellectual disabilities (formerly mental retardation) could receive education in the United States. What was the court case, its educational implications, and its relationship to special education?

5. In 1970, in the state of California, a Spanish-speaking student was placed in classes for students with mental retardation (now intellectual disabilities) based on the results of an IQ test that was given in English. What was the court case that required school districts to consider a child’s primary language and have test given in the child’s native language? In your opinion, what are long-term advantages for the results of this case? What may be some disadvantages?

6. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) has been reauthorized five times. It has six major principles associated with its content that have remained unchanged since the legislation was passed in 1975. Please summarize these six principles and illustrate your understanding of them by providing an example of how they might look in practice.

7. The concept of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is a new concept associated with the 2004 reauthorization of IDEA. It stipulates that new curricular materials and learning technologies should be designed to be flexible enough to accommodate the learning styles of a students. What are the three principles found in UDL that should be considered when applied to curriculum and instruction for students with disabilities?

8. The reauthorization of IDEA in 1997 and 2004 have some unique features for disciplining students with disabilities. Please summarize these features and provide a personal reflection on your thoughts about the features. I am particularly interested in knowing how you feel about the features and why you feel the way you do.

For work in the field of Psychology, it can be very important to understand how to use an electronic library database and how to find needed information from research articles. Researchers and clinical professionals use literature searches to find information on a topic of interest. This can useful to do before starting a study so that you know what research has already been done in the area and what information is available. It can also be useful to do when working with a client. Clinicians can use literature searchers to learn more about a client’s disorder and about clinical interventions that might be helpful. For this activity, you will do a literature search on a topic of interest. This will help you to get an understanding of the available information in that area and to learn more about your chosen topic.

I choose to be the federalist

you will CHOOSE ONE of the political parties to write on: either the Federalists OR the Republicans.  Choose whichever party interests you, or choose a party that you don’t know much about.

1. You will write a minimum of two paragraphs discussing the political, economic, and diplomatic views of your political party (based on the content from the textbook). Your political views will include your perspective on state and national government (how strong or weak should they be); your economic views will include your perspective on economic directions that the nations should take (or not take); your diplomatic views will include your perspective on France and England (which nation do you support? why?).

2.
