​Topic: COLOMBIA, VENEZUELA AND THE CARIBBEAN

Topic: COLOMBIA, VENEZUELA AND THE CARIBBEAN (CUBA, HAITI, PUERTO RICO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC, ETC.)

For this assignment, you are to read current news articles about Latin America from the website for the North American Congress of Latin America (NACLA) and submit three short reviews during the semester. Please submit one review per due date. Each review is to be at least 3-4 pages and each due date corresponds to a regional topic in Latin America. To select the articles, go to the website (Links to an external site.) and choose an article from any of the sections listed at the top of the banner, such as “Magazine,” “Columns” and “Opinion and Analysis.” However, to gain complete access to all the resources in the website, I strongly encourage you to sign up for a free account. The registration is easy, just create a username (or use your e-mail) and password, and you’re ready to go!

In your works cited page, compose your article entry in a format like this: Nidia Bautista, “Justice for Lesvy: Indifference and Outrage in Response to Gender Violence in Mexico City,” NACLA Report on the Americas website (July 31, 2017).

In terms of the content of each report, I am looking for two main points of discussion. First, you should devote the first half of the report to a summary of the main points in the article that you selected. To help you to address this issue, consider some of these questions: What is the main issue being discussed? (i.e. immigration, elections, education, environment, women’s issues, crime, etc.) Who are the main personalities mentioned in the article? (i.e. Enrique Peña Nieto, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, President Trump, etc.) How does the issue affect the people of the country mentioned in the article? Does the issue have any connection with United States interests? What do you think could be the best solution to resolve this problem?

And for the second point of discussion, please analyze the article that you selected and present your point of view on the story. For example, how do you feel about the story? How did this article contribute to your understanding about modern Latin America? And what do you think about the author’s perspective on the article? How does this topic relate to contemporary political, economic or cultural themes in the United States today?

reply to discussion below-wk6cmit zack

This is a good one, because I think that we never really think about being attacked online until it actually happens! I can tell you, I just bought a new laptop recently, and I make sure to have virus scans and uppermost security on this bad boy. My biggest fear is having a virus just completely destroy my computer.
Anyway, phishing is also a big thing in my unit, because a lot of the work done in my unit has to do with computers and other technology, people are also being targeted for phishing. Phishing is basically having you log onto a fake website (fake bank, fake MyPay, fake whatever) and basically input your information into it as though you are logging in. Then this allows access to your sensitive information, which is not so good! It’s especially bad with the military, because we have Common Access Cards (CaC) and if the information is stolen from those, that means all hell for that service member. Lots of information is linked to that account.
Making sure you have the up to date virus software is the best thing you can do for your own security as well as for the overall health of your computer system.

two part discussion question

In this unit, you will discuss physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development through the study of neuroscience, Piagetian theory, Eriksonian, theory, social learning theory, and the expression of cognitive skill through play.

350 word minimum for part 1 and part 2

Discussion Topic

During early childhood, the brain reaches about 70% of its total weight with the growth of white matter (protects the brain) and grey matter (responsible for covering cerebral regions). However, the grey matter cells still need to be connected in order to activate the full function of the brain. There are a number of different areas of the brain that will connect during the early childhood period of rapid growth. Using your understanding of brain development and Piaget’s pre-operative stage of cognitive development, respond to the following scenario.

Early Childhood Interventions

You work as an early childhood specialist with an at-risk population of children through Head Start. One of your job functions is to assess children for possible developmental learning delays. To do this, you have to understand how poor nutrition, exposure to infectious diseases, and lack of parental knowledge related to accessing services could interfere with the cognitive development of young children.

1. Using your knowledge of basic brain development and Piagetian theory, respond to the following questions.

  1. What developmental problems do you expect children in your Head Start program to have because of living in a lower socio-economic neighborhood? Explain your response using support from the Readings.
  2. According to Piaget, children ages two to seven are in the pre- operative stage of development. Using the scenario above, explain the importance of make-believe play and its uses in working with children. Create a plan for using play with 3-year-old clients that would allow you to assess cognitive development.

2. Because young children’s cognitive systems are still immature, particularly their prefrontal cortex (center of planning and logic), they tend to express emotions as soon as they are felt. Their limbic systems (activates emotions) develop earlier in life than parts of the cerebral cortex, so one of their important tasks is learning to identify and appropriately express emotions. Socializing becomes more important, and they further develop their sense of self through these interactions. Keep this in mind as you respond to the following questions.

  1. Research child-raising practices of the culture of your choice and predict their psychosocial development (Erikson’s theory) based on your research. Be sure to support your ideas using specific information from the initiative versus guilt stage of development.
  2. Using the same research that you collected for the first question, develop a plan to help parents (of your chosen culture) teach their young children appropriate ways to express their aggression. Use your understanding of social learning theory to create your plan.

Rasmussen College Business Process Analysis Paper

In order to better understand business process analysis, and how it is done in real life, conduct a literature and web search on the topic. Using your favorite search engine or the Rasmussen Library, enter the terms “business process analysis.”

  1. Define Business Process Analysis.
  2. Describe Process/Activity Flows and Activity Descriptions.
  3. Keeping in mind what is involved in preparing final outcomes from a process analysis, evaluate the task of creating and using workflow diagrams to other methods such as a verbal description of a business process — how do they compare?

Counseling Theories and Strategies

You are working in a veteran’s group home for clients with anxiety, PTSD, depressive, and personality disorders. Some of them use self-mutilation and cutting on their wrists to divert their pain. Most of these residents stay in the group home for one year. There is no limit to the amount of sessions they can attend. The first priority is get them involved in individual therapy.

Your supervisor asks you to do the following to prepare for you first meeting with the clients. You will use your presentation to inspire them to sign up for the group.

  • Research two methods that would be effective for counseling these adult males.
  • Present your research to the residents in a proactive inspiring manner through a presentation to their group using your notes
  • Present at least three reasons why each of these types of therapy would benefit the residents
  • Include an overview of the skills the residents will learn in order to help them decrease their incidence of self-harm. Invite client participation through an ending question and answer period
  • Cite your sources using APA style, and include a reference list.

ENG112 Northern Virginia Community Dynasty TV Show Analysis Essay

Several steps of the writing process will lead you to your finished product: a TV Show Analysis Essay.

You will create an outline for a 750-1000 word analysis essay on theme of gender in the family TV show you watched, submit the outline for my feedback, and develop the analysis essay.

Your essay will include a clear thesis and well developed key ideas with topic sentences and supporting examples. The essay will also follow the conventional organization of the following three elements:

Introduction: introduces the subject/s being analyzed and, in a thesis statement, states the reason for the analysis and the main ideas/claims that support that reason. Your thesis should be the last sentence in the introduction paragraph. Please underline your thesis.

Body: contains at least three body paragraphs that begin with topic sentences (supporting arguments) that prove your thesis. Each topic sentence should be a reason why your thesis is true.

Conclusion: summarizes the analysis and explains new understanding.

Suggestions to develop the body of the essay:

  • Analyze the characters’ representations of gender (summary does not belong in an analysis!).
  • The thesis and topic sentences should be the strongest, most analytical sentences in your essay.
  • Support each point with specific examples and details from the episodes you watched.
  • Relate each point of analysis back to the thesis.
  • Follow a clear organizational pattern.
  • Include transitional words and phrases to make your observations clear.


Sample thesis statement (Gilmore Girls)

Lorelai in Gilmore Girls fulfills the stereotypical gender role of the mother; however, she also goes against societal expectations by fulfilling the unconventional roles of father and peer.

  1. Write a detailed sentence outline for an analytical essay using information from your notes on the TV show you watched and from discussion in the TV Show Discussions.
  2. Please review the information on Outlines in Unit 2: Writing Resources for Unit 2. Make sure you use (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.MLA format. (All your papers must use this format.)
  3. This outline is a close analysis that will use specific supporting examples from the episodes you watched. You may also include quotes or paraphrases from the selected readings, as long as you cite them correctly. Note: I will not accept general summaries of the shows.
  4. Your sentence outline should:
    • Have a clear introduction, body and conclusion
    • Include the titles of the shows and the episodes (accurately cited according to MLA) (Note: show titles are underlined or italicized and episodes are within quotation marks)
    • Include a clear thesis statement in the Introduction (See sample thesis statement above).
    • Topic sentences for each body paragraph that make arguments that support the thesis
    • Provide, under the topic sentence, specific supporting examples from the episodes (and, optionally, quotes/paraphrases from the readings)
    • Include a conclusion that is related to the thesis

Can you create a bench mark lesson plan?

For this benchmark, use your field experience placement hours. You will implement a revised lesson plan for listening, speaking, reading, and writing. After implementing the revised lesson plan, you will assess student learning. You will reflect on the lesson implementation and use of the assessment results to inform future lessons.

Based on one of the lessons created in Topics 4 through 6:

  • Revise and implement one of the lesson plans from Topics 4 through 6.
  • Assess students’ learning using the “Preschool and Kindergarten Monitoring Assessments” or “Preschool and Kindergarten Monitoring Assessments for Advanced Learners” from the textbook to gather data about the students’ literacy proficiencies. In 500‐750‐words, summarize your post‐test findings and examine the assessment data for future application, include your goals, curriculum, and teaching strategies.

For “Preschool and Kindergarten Monitoring Assessments,” include the following:

  • Letter recognition
  • Name writing task
  • Writing alphabet task
  • Concept of print task
  • Phonological awareness task: Generating rhyming words
  • Phonemic awareness task: Isolating beginning sounds
  • Oral comprehension and vocabulary task

OR

For “Preschool and Kindergarten Monitoring Assessments for Advanced Learners,” include the following:

  • Letter recognition
  • Invented Spelling
  • Finger point reading
  • Locate words in finger point reading text
  • Reading familiar rhyming words
  • Writing familiar rhyming words
  • Write a 500‐750‐word reflection based on the feedback you received from the classroom teacher and personal observations about the experience, explain the following:
    • A brief explanation of the classroom teacher’s suggestions that you used from the previous time the lesson was written.
    • Strengths and opportunities for growth. Provide specific evidence from your lesson.
    • What would you do differently if you taught this lesson again? Be sure to provide specific examples.
