No US Policy or anything related to the US.

This assignment is not required, but is offered for those who wish to add to their point totals.

For Assignment 2 the newspaper article you choose must have been published between January 26, 2019 and February 15, 2019.

Newspaper articles and commentaries are often used by historians as primary sources–as evidence for a topic they are writing about.  So our newspapers of today will become primary sources for historians in the future.  See pages 5-6 in your syllabus for specific instructions on how to do these assignments and receive all of the 25 points.

Be sure to submit your file to BOTH Blackboard and Turnitin in order to get these points.

The region for the article selection for this assignment is the Middle East [Turkey, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Israel, Kuwait, Palestine, UAE, Yemen, Oman, Saudi Arabia].  Not refugees to the U.S. from there; not U.S. policy toward that region. 

There are question that need to be answer throughout the paper.

Creativity and Innovation

Creativity and Innovation

Educators strive to create a classroom that instills creativity and innovation. In this discussion, you will think about the creative and innovative instructional approach known as the flipped classroom (Links to an external site.) while making direct connections to the Common Core State Standards and teacher decision-making based on student assessments. Reflecting on your previous discussion on CCSS (Links to an external site.) in Week 2, you will complete the three parts of this discussion’s initial post.

There are three parts to this discussion, which are described below.

Part 1

  • Discuss how the flipped classroom idea can be used in conjunction with CCSS (Math or English Language Arts)
  • Describe ways you could incorporate technology used in the flipped classroom idea to support the Framework for 21st Century Learning (Links to an external site.) in the classroom as it relates to decision making based on student assessments.

Part 2
Now, think about assessments you have created or used in the past to address the following:

  • Discuss if a school or teacher should use a multimedia resource that is absolutely amazing in delivering both content and assessment but is not accessible.
  • Evaluate whether the resource must be excluded from a course if there are no reasonably equivalent accessible alternatives.

Part 3

Learning and Innovation Skills and Student Assessment

Learning and Innovation Skills and Student Assessment

This assignment requires you to make connections between high-quality assessment and learning and innovation skills. Additionally, using the Framework for 21st Century learning (Links to an external site.) as a resource, you will redesign or modify a prior activity from one of your courses in the master’s program. There are several approaches you could take with this assignment. For example, you may redesign an instructional plan with assessment plans embedded throughout or a full assessment plan including a summative assessment you may have constructed. These are just two ideas out of numerous possibilities. If you do not have previous work to use for this assignment, please contact your instructor for guidelines on how to proceed. As needed, refer to your program learning outcomes (PLOs) list  download(MACI, MAECEL, MAED, MASE, or MATLT).

NOTE* Before you select the PLO’s you will highlight in this assignment, be sure to read the final assignment for this course to ensure that you will cover each of your programs PLOs adequately.

Create your assignment to meet the content and written communication expectations below.

& Innovation Skills, assess how it could be used as a tool for ongoing evaluation of student progress, and evaluate how it could be used as a guide for teacher and student decision making.

  • Summary – Reflection (1 Point): Summarize, in one paragraph, your experience with the redesign in terms of challenges you encountered and how you overcame those challenges.

Why is the history of the period of the Roman Monarchy so unreliable?

Answer ONE of the following questions , writing roughly 3 1/2-5 pages for your answer.  Your submissions should be 12pt font double spaced.  Use both of your textbooks (as well as any files/lectures provided on Canvas) to answer the question (if you are using any other outside sources, make sure that they are academic/peer-reviewed ones).  Use your own words, and make sure to cite your sources.  In text citation is to be MLA style, i.e. (Boatwright 2011, 52).  Assignments that do not have in-text citation as well as a Works Cited page will receive a “0” grade.  Your submission must use at least two (2) secondary sources (i.e. articles/textbooks of an academic caliber) and one (1) primary source (i.e. a source written at the time such as Livy, Caesar, Polybius, etc.).

  • Why is the history of the period of the Roman Monarchy so unreliable? Which kings seem to be reliably historical (i.e. having existed), and which kings seem to be more a part of legend, and why (provide specific examples of the seven kings!)?  Can some kings be considered to be completely historical and others completely legendary, or can it be a little bit of both depending on the monarch?
  • Discuss the government of the Roman Republic, giving attention to each of the civil offices. What are the powers of these offices, and how are they similar to that of the U.S. government?  How are they different from that of the U.S. government?  What roles to ‘checks and balances ‘ play in the Roman system, and why?

Can you think of any other adjectives that might apply to their nation’s identity based on the myths they used?

Can you think of any other adjectives that might apply to their nation’s identity based on the myths they used?

This week, you will choose a Native American story or myth.  Review the myths in the learning resources and then choose one story, that is, a myth from a particular tribe or nation.

First, using the material in the learning resources, describe at least two, but no more than four, particular Native American myths using ten adjectives in a sentence, e.g. “Based on the following myths, the Navajo’s mythic identity is ….”  It might be simpler to write out ten sentences with a adjective for each.

Next, cite your myths using MLA format, but put them in a Works Cited list at the end of your post. No need to clutter up the sentence.

After you have posted on your myth, compare your tribe or nation’s identity with those of your peers.

Does the identity description hold up given the sources they cited?

Can you think of any other adjectives that might apply to their nation’s identity based on the myths they used?

This topic post will be worth 20 points, your replies will be worth 10 points each.  Make sure your replies consist of four or more full sentences.

three great Islamic Empires  expanded their power and territory

Beginning during the fifteenth century, three great Islamic Empires  expanded their power and territory, building impressive states across  the Middle East and India.  These empires, the Ottoman Empire, Safavid  Empire, and Mughal Empire, had much in common, but they also had many  unique characteristics which defined and separated them.

For this essay assignment, you will be compare and contrast any two of these Islamic Empires, discussing similarities and differences between. Begin by selecting which of the two empires you will include in your essay and then start researching them. DO NOT use Wikipedia as a source. As always, be sure to keep track of where you find your information so that you can provide citations in your final essay.

As you study the two empires you have selected, there are numerous possible topics that you can consider for the comparison and contrast in the essay. Here are some possible topics:

  • Strengths and weaknesses of the empires
  • Economic policy
  • Military system
  • Wars and conquests
  • Form of government and/or administration
  • The greatest rulers of each empire (compare them)
  • Religious system and policies
  • Problems faced in the empire
  • Interactions between the empires, if any

Once your research is complete and you are ready to begin writing,  your essay should be carefully organized.  In your introduction,  introduce both of the empires that you will be discussing and lay out  the topic for the essay.  The body of the essay will include the  comparison and the contrast of the empires.  Conclude by discussing  which of the two empires you think was more effectively established or  had a stronger foundation, including the reasons why you reached this conclusion.
