While issues permeate our society
both in the United States and globally, some issues are infused with multiple
perspectives, producing more tension than others. As a topic for this essay,
choose a complex issue within education that allows you to identify tensions,
perspectives, and possibilities within and around that issue. You can choose an
issue within American education or an issue with education globally. 
Write an essay using third person
only that presents the problem (your chosen education issue), discusses why the
issue is such a problem, and persuades readers that the issue is one that needs
attention, including why the issue needs attention. The goal of your essay is
to convince fellow classmates that the educational issue is important and
should be changed. Choose only ONE issue and focus on it in detail. 

Choose a kindergarten through third grade level and thematic topic for this assignment.
Select 3 to 5 pieces of children’s literature that would be appropriate for your chosen grade level and thematic topic. Consider selecting books from different genres that relate to your chosen topic. For example, if you choose the topic of transportation, you could select an informational text on trains, a fictional book involving cars, or an Amelia Earhart biography.
Create an outline of a literature-based thematic unit using your selected children’s literature. This will not be a complete thematic unit; rather, it will just be an outline of ideas for the unit.
Note: Your outline does not have to be written in a traditional outline format. You can also use a graphic organizer or presentation medium to share your information.
​​​​​​​Include the following components in your outline:
Grade level and thematic topic
At least 2 reading and 2 writing standards to be addressed in the unit

First Assignment: A Summary
For your first assignment, you are going to do something that hardly anyone in the world knows how to do anymore: summarize what something is about BEFORE FORMULATING AN OPINION OR RESPONDING. In other words, to be OBJECTIVE and FACTUALLY STATE WHAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS SAID rather than spout your own response or opinion. We now live in such a narcissistic-self-absorbed culture, people have forgotten that others have something valid to say and we should listen to them before judging them or spouting our own reaction.
Thus here we go:
Write a ½ page summary of the article in your course materials folder. Although the article is long, your summary, obviously is to be very short. When I wrote a 270-page dissertation for my Ph.D., I had to take that whole thing and summarize it in less than one page. Taking something really long and making it really short forces you to consolidate your thoughts, focus, and think clearly. These are valuable traits for anyone to have.
Do the best you can. I will allow you to revise it even up to three times if you so choose. I know this is a difficult task to begin the class with, but I have every confidence you will do your best to complete. I am a very flexible and understanding and easy teacher to work with AS LONG AS YOU TRY TO DO YOUR VERY BEST.
Any takers on that?
Here are a few pointers to get you started:
#1. A summary focuses on the big overall points, while still combining this with a few specific details.
#2. A summary is concise, well-written and to-the-point making sure to definitely get the MAIN IDEA OF THE TEXT.
#3. A good summary uses excellent grammar, excellent transitions and makes sense from beginning to end.
Your book is an excellent way to increase your understanding of summaries. Explore your books beyond the pages I have assigned if you want extra help with writing an effective summary.
The first draft is due Tuesday, January 19th 2015

Suggested prompts:
Where do I see myself in this movie? Who was a victim? What assumptions did people make about others? Were actions prompted by fear, hate, prejudice, power, helplessness, or something else?
Answer one of the following questions.
1. In his review, Roger Ebert says, “One thing that happens, again and again [in the film], is that peoples’ assumptions prevent them from seeing the actual person standing before them.” ~ rogerebert.com ~ Choose one scene and point out the specific assumptions that prevent one character from seeing another character as an actual person standing before [him/her].
2. Some of criticized the film for reinforcing stereotypes instead of eliminating them. What do you think this movie accomplishes?
3. Imagine one scene where you have the power to push the pause button and change an event? What would you have done if you were that character with the same context, circumstances and background? Why?
4. At certain points in the film our sympathies with a character are altered almost instantly. Where does this happen and how is it achieved?
5. Think about your own assumptions. Are they useful? Are they okay? Who do you make eye contact with? Who do you feel safe around? Do our choices reinforce damaging racial or other kinds of stereotypes? Do we react differently to the person who cuts us off in traffic depending on their color, gender, age, or other observation we might make? Do we smile at one stranger and then flinch at the next?
6. What responsibility do we have for interrupting oppression? What are some of the challenges? What are some of the opportunities on this campus and in our communities?
Required prompt:
What is the connection to this movie and EDUC 2301?
