Explain why the language structure is important for language and academic learning for ELLs.
Assessment Description
Teachers need a variety of resources to support students in developing a better command of linguistic knowledge, word order, and an understanding of language in context.Add information on syntax, semantics, and pragmatics to your digital toolkit as they apply to the teaching of ELLs.
For each language structure (syntax, semantics, pragmatics) include the following:
A one-sentence definition of the language structure.
At least 2-3 sentences explaining why the language structure is important for language and academic learning for ELLs.
Four classroom activities to support the development of the language structure and a brief explanation of how the activities can be differentiated for ELLs at various language proficiencies.
One at-home activity and a website link for families to assist with the development of the language structure at home. Include a 2-3 sentence explanation of how the at-home activity can address the various English language proficiencies of ELLs.
In addition, create a separate list in your digital toolkit that includes the following:
At least five resources (e.g., journal articles, videos, books, podcasts) that provide additional professional development and knowledge in the teaching and learning of English language structures
Citations for each resource (Note: These are separate from your scholarly resources.)

Using what you learned in Modules 1-3 up to this point, discuss 3 key elements you think should be a part of US Healthcare reform.
Using what you learned in Modules 1-3 up to this point, discuss 3 key elements you think should be a part of US Healthcare reform. Since we do not know at this point whether the ACA will remain or will be repealed and replaced, what are 3 key elements that should remain or be introduced into US healthcare reform legislation?
For example, children up to the age of 26 being able to remain on their parent’s health insurance or mandates that everyone have healthcare. These are only examples, feel free to discuss any key elements from the readings or your own research. This assignment should be a maximum of 2 paragraphs in length and should be your own original thought. Please cite any sources you used in a standard format (e.g. APA or MLA). Purdues Online Writing Lab (OWL) can help with cited and writing. You can find OWL at https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/section/2/ . The rest of your submission should be 2 paragraphs (no more then 5 sentences in a paragraph!) on the 3 key elements you chose that should remain or be introduced as discussed above. Remember do not simply state your opinion; explain your rationale for your opinion. Be sure to write properly for an academic audience (review syllabus guidelines).
Grading Rubric:Submission reflects college level writing. Clear effort is made with sentence structure, word choice, grammar and punctuation. (4pts)
Post discusses 3 key elements of reform and clearly indicates the students perspective supporting it with rationale. (4pts)

interview two individuals that are in different stages of Adulthood. You may choose from the following stages: Emerging/Early Adulthood (20-40), Middle Adulthood (40-65), Late Adulthood (65+). Interview Requirements: Interviews can be conducted via phone, video conferencing, email, or in person. You can select your own questions to be included in the interview. However, the following core questions must be addressed:
Basic Demographic Information (age, gender, marital status, employment status)
What major goals has the person accomplished so far in life?
What are some of the challenges associated with their current stage of life?
How does the person feel societal expectations shape their life right now?
Requirements:
Identify the stage of life that your selected person fits into (Early, Middle, Late Adulthood)
What are some of the associations common to each interviewee’s stage of life? For example, are they an emerging adult starting their first full-time job, at the age in which a mid-life crisis might occur, or stuck in the “Sandwich Generation?” If so, does your interviewee currently fit into any of these common associations? Why or why not?
Does it seem any prejudicial or stereotypical behavior is experienced in this person’s stage of life (e.g., based upon their age/gender/sexuality)?
Do you believe that this person is developing typically or atypically based upon what you know so far about his/her current stage of life?
Apply three specific theories from the course readings that apply to both individuals interviewed.
Media Convergence can be defined as The interlinking of computing and ICTs, communication networks, and media content that has occurred with the development and popularization of the Internet, and the convergent products, services and activities that have emerged in the digital media space. Discuss the value of media convergence as well as the pitfalls.
Media Convergence:
Media Convergence can be defined as The interlinking of computing and ICTs, communication networks, and media content that has occurred with the development and popularization of the Internet, and the convergent products, services and activities that have emerged in the digital media space. Convergence can also mean the merger of people, resources, media technologies ,content, and industries. And as you are learning in the classroom, convergence is considered by many to be a potentially positive trend in the media today. It is a trend that now allows us to find news on Web sites… In general, media convergence has many advantages, including the ease at which we get information. On the other hand, media convergence has led to information overload and restricted our activities given that we now spend more time with the media, especially social media.
Discuss the value of media convergence as well as the pitfalls
Discuss the elements of a material control system. Explain the information you would need to create a material requirements plan for this company. Under which type of production environment do you think an MRP system is most useful? Provide an example. What challenges may occur when using projected production levels to produce an MRP? Use examples for support.
This will be the foundation for future discussions by your classmates. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas.
For this Discussion Board, please complete the following:
Material requirements planning (MRP) is a computerized inventory control and production planning system. The primary goal of an MRP system is to make sure that materials are available when a company needs them. It is also used to minimize unnecessary inventory, which can lead to significant cost savings.
Assume that you work for a company that manufactures and sells nuts and bolts. Your products are typically small, but customers often require large orders with a quick turnaround time. There is little room for error on the floor where inventory is handled. Your manager has come to you with information about mix-ups in recent orders and some struggles with meeting deadlines with shipping times.
Review Material Requirements Planning (MRP), and answer the following questions:
Discuss the elements of a material control system. Explain the information you would need to create a material requirements plan for this company.
Under which type of production environment do you think an MRP system is most useful? Provide an example.
What challenges may occur when using projected production levels to produce an MRP? Use examples for support.

Which of the 5 theoretical perspectives of language development (1. behaviorist, 2. nativist, 3. Cognitive developmental, 4. socioculture, and 5. interactive-emrgentist) aligns with your own philosophy from last week? Provide specific examples from the chosen theoretical perspective to your philosophy to explain.
Name a theorist-researcher associated with each perspective. What are the implications of each theory for an early childhood and elementary education classroom?
Describe the zone or proximal development. How does this concept relate to language development?
Describe each of the following interaction patterns and how you see yourself using them in the classroom: 1. child-directed speech, 2. verbal mapping, 3. questioning, 4. linguistic scaffolding and 5. mediation.
Reflect on the achievement gap between students from low-income and high-income households, explain one cause of this gap, and evaluate one potential action step linked to that cause.
This week, you will reflect on the achievement gap between students from low-income and high-income households, explain one cause of this gap, and evaluate one potential action step linked to that cause.
Read this article that outlines basic facts about the current income-based achievement gap: https://www.childtrends.org/blog/the-other-achievement-gap-poverty-and-academic-success
You may also want to review the textbook and/or follow some of the links in the article to explore certain topics in greater depth.
1. Drawing on social reproduction theory, explain why there is such a large achievement gap between students from low-income and high-income households.
2. Choose one social condition that researchers feel contributes greatly to this gap (from the textbook or article above). Explain the relationship between that condition and the gap in achievement.
3. Then describe an action that researchers hope will make a difference to that specific condition. Provide an evidence-based evaluation of this claim: will this action alleviate the achievement gap? What are some advantages or limitations of this proposed action?
SHORT EXAMPLE for how to answer #2/#3: Research shows low-income students have fewer books read to them in the early years, and they come to Kindergarten with lower reading-readiness. The proposed solution is to give free books to families along with lessons for parents to encourage reading. This is a great idea because of X, Y, and Z. However, it has limitations A and B.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of wind-generated and wave generated energy. Use critical thinking to show the degree the production processes consume additional fossil fuel energy to produce the components for wave and wind generated electricity.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of wind-generated and wave generated energy. Use critical thinking to show the degree the production processes consume additional fossil fuel energy to produce the components for wave and wind generated electricity. Use at least two library articles and additional resources to validate the assertions and opinions created in the journal. Critical thinking is accomplished by defining an assumption that needs to be true for an assertion to be correct. For example, for a given energy source to be environmentally safe, animal safety needs to be within an acceptable tolerance.
