Two quotes frame this week’s assignment:

“Treat everyone the same—differently.” (Littky, 2015, p. 155)
“Learning is to problem solve and think critically, to analyze and interpret different perspectives, to be creative and use the world as a tool to innovate, to be proficient in reading, writing, and math. Learning is expressing and working with the desire and interest to keep learning.” (Littky, 2015, p. 159)

Identify an idea you have generated based on your reading of this chapter that you believe you could implement in your classroom or professional practice, even in some small way. You might not be able to change the focus of the school and a major paradigm shift might not be in your control, but dream. What could you do that would result in the opportunity for deeper, more engaged learning for at least one of your students? Be creative.

Develop that experience or idea through a lesson plan, proposal for the activity, or other relevant document that fully describes what you envision. After doing so, write a short (2 page) reflection that articulates the rationale for the choice you made and how you hope this will further the pursuit of equity in your professional practice.

Support your statements with evidence from the Required Studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style

Based on what you have learned about emotion and motivation, learning theories, as well as biological (nature) and environmental/social (nurture) factors, explore the debate on what is known about the causes of aggressive behavior. Include the following sections in your essay.

Introduction Paragraph

Body Paragraphs:

Nature: Biological Basis of Behavior

Is one gender naturally (genetically) more or less aggressive than the other gender? Why or why not? Discuss evidence to support your position. (Refer to specific theories, models, and research of particular psychologists in this section of the paper.)

Nurture: Social and Environmental Influences on Behavior

Does exposure to aggressive behavior in the environment (i.e. home, role models, caregivers, media – TV, movies, music, and video games), encourage or discourage aggressive behavior? Discuss evidence to support your position. (Refer to specific theories, models, and research of particular psychologists in this section of the paper.)

Conclusion Paragraph

Based on what you have learned about biological and environmental influences on behavior, which plays a more influential role in helping us understand aggression?

The objects found in museums are presented in ways that reflect the specific goals of collectors, institutions, and even governments. Curators design exhibits to tell stories, make connections, promote concepts, and create very specific experiences. For this assignment, you must visit a temporary exhibit of the Denver Art Museum. Assess how the pieces in the collection are “framed” by the curator of the exhibit. In this assessment, describe how the objects are displayed, how the space is arranged, how objects are lit, how objects are grouped and other aspects of their presentation. Then think about how these “framing devices” are used to present art, artifacts, and cultures in a specific way. Analyze these individual elements as parts of the whole exhibit, forming a thesis statement around these “bigger ideas.”

Format. Your paper should be approximately two to three pages in length, double-spaced with standard one-inch margins. Gather observations about your chosen exhibit by filling out your worksheet. From your observations, develop a thesis that summarizes your thoughts on the exhibit. Write a paper that supports this thesis and gives your observations.

Considerations. Aspects you may consider include (but are not limited to): how the objects are displayed in their museum settings; what wall labels or other information is used to facilitate an understanding of the work; how these factors contribute to or dictate your understanding of the work. In other words, how are these pieces contextualized? Are they presented as art or artifact? Why? How? Use the attached worksheet to guide your visit and hone your observations

Important.

Be sure to fill out your worksheet! It’s required!
This is not a research project, but if you do use an outside source, you must cite it.
Use specific examples to support your thesis
