“Civil Rights Case Analysis: [Title of Chosen Case]” Summary of the Case: The case of [Title of Chosen Case] originated in [State] and was eventually heard by the United States Supreme Court. The case involved [brief Title: Court Case Presentation Outline
Instructions
This assignment is comprised of 2 parts, the first of which is due this week. Part II will be due in Week 7.
In Part I this week, choose a Federal Supreme Court case that originated in your state that involves civil rights or civil liberties that was heard by the United States Supreme Court, and a decision was rendered. If your state does not have a case that was decided by the United States Supreme Court, choose a civil rights case from another state for which the United States Supreme Court issued a decision.
Here is a brief description of civil rights and civil liberties: Civil rights refers to equal social opportunities under the law. It gives you these freedoms, such as the right to vote, the right to public education, or a fair trial, among other things, regardless of your wealth or race. Civil liberties mean freedom of religion, equal treatment and due process under the law, and the right to privacy.
You should be able to go online and look up your state and famous cases decided by the Supreme Court. For example, Brown v Board of Education (1951) started in Topeka, Kansas, and ended up in the Supreme Court of the United States. Another example would be Calvary Chapel Dayton Valley v Steve Sisolak, Governor of Nevada (2020), which started in Nevada and ended up in the United States Supreme Court. A good source of information about cases decided by the United States Supreme Court is www.scotusblog.com, www.justia.com, or www.oyez.org.
Some other examples of cases include Lau v Nichols, State of Missouri ex. Rel. Gaines v Canada, University of Missouri, Terry v Ohio, Regents of California v Bakke, Michigan v Bay Mills Indian Community, Arizona v California, California v Cabazon Band of Mission Indians, Choctaw Nation v Oklahoma, Ysleta del Sur Pueblo v Texas, Korematsu v United States, Obergefell v Hodges, and Loving v Virginia.
Other sources can be researched online using search terms for “civil rights cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.” Be sure to use a case actually decided by the United States Supreme Court, and not a case decided by your state’s supreme court or a different court. A case that is still pending before the United States Supreme Court should not be used. If you are unsure, please contact your Professor BEFORE you pick your case and submit the assignment as this is a significant part of your overall grade.
Research your court case and write an outline of the case that you will be using to prepare a presentation, which will either be a narrated PowerPoint, a Kaltura Video, or some other format as approved by your instructor. If you are unsure, then verify the presentation format with your instructor before starting work on this assignment.
This week’s assignment should include (a) summary of the case; (b) a case outline; and a summary.
Summary of the Case
In one or two paragraphs, provide a general overview of the case that serves as a snapshot of what the case is about and how it ended up in your state high court. A summary is using your words to write a brief history of the case. Do not give your opinion or your interpretation but stick to the facts only.
Case Outline
Your court case outline should include:
Title: Name of the case
Facts of the case: Provide key facts involving the case.
History of the case: What legal action was taken based on what your state laws say about this case?
Legal questions: What were the legal issues the court had to decide?
Decision or holdings: Did the court decide for the plaintiff or the defendant? Explain the reason behind the decision?
Verdict and opinion (judgement): What were the concurring and dissenting opinions? How many judges decided for the defendant and how many justices decided against the defendant? What was the final verdict from the judge or the jury, if it was a jury trial?
Conclusion:
What was the resulting impact of the ruling? How did the citizens of your state benefit from it? Was this a good decision?
Requirements
The length of your outline will vary. Usually an outline is anywhere from 1-3 pages long. Make sure to write full sentences to explain your case. It is a concise list to be used as a reference for you during the presentation.
Using the outline, you will be describing the court case in your presentation and the scenario around the court case. The use of Wikipedia as a primary source of information is to be avoided – it is not a reliable source of information.
Search for an example of a case outline in the Internet. Without going into much detail at this state, each of the items listed above has a subject sentence with 3-6 bullet points that can help you expand on the topic.
For Week 7, you will be creating a narrated PowerPoint, or a video as approved by your instructor, from this week’s outline.
This assignment is worth 200 points.

“Supporting Students Facing Adversity: Strategies for Educators and Parents” “Understanding the Effects of Parental Abandonment and Neglect: A Case Study on the Impact of Childhood Trauma on Anxiety and Behavioral Issues”
NO PLAGIARISM!!!
(Attached is an example of a student profile and powerpoint slide)
Using PowerPoint or Google Slides, you are to create a presentation appropriate for use with
other educators or parents. In this presentation you are to do the following:
• Identify each student and the issue he or she is facing. (Please DO NOT copy and paste the descriptions provided. Rather, you should explain what you feel are the core issues each face after reading the description.)
• Identify the developmental impact of each issue. You will need to include the
research that is directly related to the issues and aligned to the developmental goals
for the students. For example, you might include a statement such as “According to
Dr. I. M. Expert, cyber-bullying is detrimental to a student’s development because it
makes students feel unsafe.”
• Research and provide resources that are directly related to the issue and are aligned
to the developmental goals for students. These are resources a parent or teacher
could use to learn more about the issue and how to address the impact of the issue.
These are resources that may be available in your community, such as food banks,
language lessons for parents, etc. You may also choose to include resources that are
available from federal, state, and local governments. These are NOT the resources
used in your research. (TEXAS BASED)
• You will suggest supports teachers can use in the classroom to mitigate the impacts
of the issue. • Your presentation should be at least 11 slides long. You are expected
to have an introductory slide, two slides per student, and a closing slide.
STUDENTS:
Nelly: Nelly is economically disadvantaged and at risk because she did not pass the
standardized state math test. She lives with her grandparents since her mother is in jail.
Unfortunately, the apartment complex where she lives is riddled with drugs and crime.
It is common to hear gunfire and police sirens at night. It is also located in a food desert,
with no direct route to a full grocery store. School is her safe place; she is terrified when
she is not in school but tries to act tough so that she won’t be picked on. Her
grandparents are well-meaning, but unsure of how to best help her.
Brandon: When Brandon was nine years old, his mother was killed in an automobile
accident. His father recognized that he would not be able to care for Brandon or his
three younger siblings and reluctantly put them under the care of the Department of
Family and Protective Services. There were no foster homes available to take all four
children, and they were split up between families. Brandon’s emotional state became
quite fragile following the separations from his family. He was angry, depressed and
began acting out both at school and in the foster home, at which time he was placed in
a group home. During this time, Brandon was bullied and beaten by older boys in the
home. Two months ago, Brandon was moved to the home where he now resides. His
foster family reports he is quiet at home, compliant with their requests, but generally
exhibits little interest in family activities or school, though he seems to be slowly
warming up to the family. He doesn’t talk about his past three years or his siblings or
parents. The family has not seen evidence of anger but do believe he is depressed.
Ellie: Ellie is a sweet girl but very anxious. Her parents divorced because of her
mother’s alcoholism. Her father is a long-haul trucker who is not around very much. As a
result, Ellie often has to be the adult at home – shopping, cooking, and cleaning. She
worries about her mother being alone and having an accident. Though her father sends
money regularly, she worries about paying the bills. She cries often and does not have
the space to be a kid. In addition, there was an incident last year when her mom came
to school after drinking and yelled obscenities at the principal and teacher. Some of her
classmates noticed, and it embarrassed Ellie terribly. She is constantly worried this will
happen again. Though not diagnosed, she appears to be suffering from anxiety.
Ian: Ian’s mother left the family when he was five. Ian lives with his dad and does not
know where his mother is. Ian’s father works long hours and attempts to compensate
for the time away by buying Ian the latest technology. Once, when he was angry, Ian’s
father blamed him for his mother leaving. Ian is an avid gamer but is usually angry and is
known around school as a bully. He has few friends. Ian does just enough work to get
passing grades. In class, he just wants to be left alone. -
Cultural Comparison Guide: Doing Business in the United States and [Selected Country]
INT 220 Module Two Assignment Guidelines and Rubric
Overview
Doing business in a foreign country can be fraught with pitfalls, from culturally inappropriate hugging to accidental obscene hand gestures. By researching and understanding the culture of a foreign country, you can better prepare yourself and your team to avoid mistakes and leverage cultural protocols to your advantage.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your knowledge of cultural competence from this week’s module resources to compare the culture of the United States with the culture of the country you chose in Milestone One. You will show how doing business can be very different from one country to another.
Prompt
Use the Module Two Assignment template located in the Guidelines for Submission section to create a cultural comparison guide between the country you selected for your course project and the United States. In Part One of the template, you will identify common information about both countries, including their cultural backgrounds and business etiquettes. In Part Two of the template, you will identify the six dimensions in the Hofstede model of national culture for both countries. In Part Three of the template, you will draw conclusions on how doing business in the country you selected will differ from doing business in the United States and tips for individuals doing business in your selected country.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
Basic Country Facts: Identify government types, languages, and religions for both countries.
Business Etiquette: Identify common business etiquette in both countries (e.g., common greetings, differences in communication toward men and women, negotiating styles, and acceptable business attire).
Tips for Doing Business: Identify three tips you would give to individuals doing business in the non-U.S. country you selected. Tips could be about behaviors to avoid (e.g., items as innocent as posture or body language or attitudes regarding punctuality or approaches to business).
Cultural Dimensions: Identify and examine the six dimensions in the Hofstede model of national culture for both countries.
Conclusions: Conclude how doing business in your new country will differ from doing business in the United States. -

Calkins, Lucy. Raising Lifelong Learners: A Parent’s Guide. Reading: Addison-Wesley
Longman. 1997. Print.
Lucy Calkins is a noted teacher and researcher in reading and writing. Her book is a guide for parents, helping them to work with their children’s schools to create a positive learning environment and a lifelong love of learning in their children. Topics covered include fostering learning and curiosity in mathematics, science, social studies, reading, and writing. Calkins’ work also offers advice on school curriculum and testing. By providing specific examples of parental involvement, this book will help support my assertion that parents need to play a strong role in their children’s education.
