Digital Presentation: The Importance of Literacy

/in /by

Early literacy relies on appropriately preparing young children for reading. As young children are exposed to letters and sounds, they begin to build a foundation for phonemic awareness. This step is critical in preparing for the sequential order of reading instruction. Phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension build off each other to provide appropriate development for literacy.

Create a 12-15 slide PowerPoint presentation intended to be shown to elementary general education classroom teachers within a professional development setting.

Address the following within your presentation:

  1. Describe the scope and importance of reading education history in the U.S.
  2. Discuss the importance of literacy in grades K-3 and its educational effects on later academic years.
  3. Provide an overview of each of the five areas of reading instruction (i.e., phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and text comprehension).
  4. Describe how the brain is involved in the five areas (Big 5) of reading instruction and how the sequential order of each component is important in learning to read and comprehend text.
  5. Identify and describe two intervention strategies, per Big 5 component, for struggling readers. At least one strategy identified, per component, should be appropriate for utilization at home.

Include presenter’s notes, in-text citations, and a reference slide that contains at least three scholarly sources to support this assignment.

Submit your presentation and resource for families as one deliverable.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Cathy Card maintains a household in which she, her daughter (Lily), and her widowed mother-in-law (Joan) live. Since 2013, she also has provided more than half of their support. Cathy’s husband, Greg, left for parts unknown in April 2013 and, except for one postcard, has not been heard from since. In the postcard (no return address included) that Cathy received in March 2014, Greg announced that he planned to claim both Lily and Joan as dependents on his own tax return.

For tax year 2013, Cathy filed her Federal income tax return as married filing separately and claimed no exemptions for dependents. She has not yet filed for 2014. She is confused by her situation and has come to you for advice in early January of 2015.

  • Please describe the difference between personal jurisdiction, venue, and subject matter jurisdiction. Then create a fact pattern that illustrates each of these three concepts. Remember that a fact pattern is a made up story that demonstrates a legal concept or legal concepts.
  • Fully explain the concept of privileged information. Include in your essay a recitation of the various types of evidentiary privileges, and discuss the public policy/rationale which underlies the concept of privilege. Who holds the privilege when it concerns attorney-client communication? How far does it extend? Are there any circumstances which override the privilege?
  • As we learned in Week#1, paralegals can complete several tasks at law firms. Please discuss some of the tasks that a paralegal can never complete.

Two page Essay with you observation and imagination

/in /by

Pay a visit to one of three NYC venues—Central Park Zoo, American Museum of Natural History, or the Bronx Zoo—any time before our class on Tuesday, 30 OCT. Take careful observational notes on both humans and other species you see in areas that interest you. You can spend some time with seals, for example, and focus most of your noticing time on a single-species exhibit, or you can divide your time among a number of exhibits—whatever seems most enjoyable and intriguing to you.

Take concerted time either on-site or shortly thereafter, or both, to record what you take in on a sensory level. You are looking at how other species appear, what they look, smell, and sound like, how they react to stimuli, behavioral patterns you note, whether and in what ways they interact with visitors (if you’re at one of the two zoos), how they are displayed by the zoo or museum curatorship, your own feelings, your own reactions, and the reactions of other visitors (even your reaction to other visitors and to your own positioning within that space and vis-à-vis those around you). In short, whatever captures your attention in these contexts, depending on your interests, is worthy of notation.

Submit in hard copy in class a data sheet (two pages or more) that is a write-up of the data you have collected from your visit. This data consists in your noted observations as detailed above and, once again, should center on whatever exhibits you find interesting, problematic, or inspiring and the species you get excited about and seem to you curious, knowable, threatening, elusive, mysterious, or anything else.

Your data sheet can be hand-written or typed (preferably double-sided)—whatever is most convenient and least laborious for you! You don’t have to write in formal paragraphs—these can be notes and observations and attendant thoughts—but please be sure I can read them so we can look together at observational catalysts and interest points for you in the hopes they provide fertile ground to explore in your subsequent writing process!

Additionally..

You don’t have to write in complete sentences or paragraphs for this exercise. It’s a list of your notes, not an essay. You don’t have to type this if you have hand-written your notes at the museum or the zoo. Just be sure they are legible to me (I’m pretty good at reading hand writing ;)) so I can try to be helpful in thinking with you about which of your notes might become fruitful material and how it could be conceptualized for your ultimate essay.

You are the manager of Acme Fireworks, a fireworks retailer who sells fireworks, puts on ground display fireworks, and large aerial display fireworks. The company started in the owner’s garage two years ago and now has 15 employees that you manage. The company started as a sole proprietorship, and the owner has never changed the entity. The owner has informed you that the company has received inquiries from several large businesses wondering if the company could create several fireworks displays on a regular basis. The owner told the inquirers that the company could fill such display orders, and a price per display was agreed upon. It was discussed that most of the cost for a fireworks display is for skilled labor, insurance, and the actual service of setting off the fireworks. No other details were discussed. The owner is anticipating that new employees will need to be hired, but he is worried that if the large orders for fireworks displays do not continue, the company will not have the funds to pay the new employees. The owner is now considering changing the business entity, but he does not know what entity to form or how to form it.
This is what the paper is wrote about need to answer these two question about this topic.

Application: Google Case Study

/in /by

By studying the business practices of other organizations, you will become more aware of the steps needed to begin and establish a successful venture. In the case study involving Google, you will investigate its rapid launch into a publicly-traded firm and the impact it had on the marketplace.

Read “Google: An Entrepreneurial Juggernaut”, and after reviewing the case study, write a 300-word response to the following question:

  • Do you think Google was acting in an ethical manner when it “poached” talent from other firms, rather than using its own innovation that carried it to a successful launch? Respond Yes or No and defend your point of view, based on case facts. Be sure to support your argument with research rather than personal opinions.
