[Solved] Artie Acts Somewhat Like

 

Identity as Construct

In the graphic memoir, Maus, Spiegelman raises the theme of identity repeatedly as Vladek and others have to shift and change their identity to evade capture and to survive. As Spiegelman constructs Vladek’s identity as a soldier and prisoner of war, he also constructs Artie’s identity in relationship to Vladek because Artie acts somewhat like a journalist, interviewing his father and recording and eventually publishing his experiences. Identity is not the only theme working in the text, however. Memory, racism/antisemitism, and language are also present in the text, and each works with the theme of identity in different ways.

For This Discussion Post

Compose an initial discussion post in which you examine identity as tied to one other theme, memory, racism/antisemitism, or language. Next go on to discuss your reaction to the text so far. Consider using a three-paragraph structure for this discussion post:

  • Paragraph 1: Introduce your two themes and state how they work together.
    • Focus on one theme: memory, racism/antisemitism, or language
    • Present textual examples (meaning quotes) and visual analysis to make your argument stronger
  • Paragraph 2: Transition to the theme of identity
    • Connect identity to the theme you discussed above.
    • Demonstrate how identity works with the first theme by presenting specific textual and visual examples (meaning quotes) to make your argument stronger.
  • Paragraph 3: Transition to your reaction to the text so far
    • Having done a bit of literary analysis based on themes, what do you feel you have learned about the text?
    • How aware were you of the Holocaust and the history of Nazi Germany before reading this text?
    • How has your viewpoint changed because of the text?

Initial posts should be, at minimum, 250-300 words in length.

Use Appropriate Citations

Finally, because we are using quotes for these posts, in-text and a works cited citation is expected. Whenever you use quotes, in-text and works cited citations are always required.

[Solved] Student Teaching Experience

  To create a parent questionnaire to gain insight into parents and their children and to evaluate your questionnaire. 

The assignment is not complete without a self reflection

Scenario:
One of the main lessons you learned during your  student teaching experience was how well parents know their own children  and how sharing this knowledge with educators can inform your teaching.  While you plan to collect some of this information informally, you also  decide to be systematic and create a questionnaire for parents, bearing  in mind that some families may not have access to a computer. You begin  with basic questions about their family structure and the members of  their family (e.g., if a grandparent lives with the family, the names  and ages of any siblings). Given your desire to invite parents to  contribute to the classroom, you also want to learn more about the  subjects they’re passionate about, such as photography, music, or  cooking. You also want to know if they would be willing to share these  interests with your class. Last, you ask parents about their  availability to participate in informal classroom events, such as  reading times and performances.

Focus Assignment

1.  Create a questionnaire for parents that you can print and distribute.  Write a brief introduction about how you will use the information to  gain greater insight into each child and their family. Next, include  four to five questions about their family structure. Then, invite  parents to indicate which subjects they are passionate about and whether  they would be willing to share their interests with your class. Last,  create a section about parents’ availability to participate in informal  events.

2. Be sure to read the SELF-EVALUATION section below to  guide your thinking. Write your self-evaluation after you have completed  your questionnaire.

Self-Evaluation

1. For each item of your questionnaire:
     a. Explain how this item addresses the issues in the scenario.

 create a flyer outlining opportunities for parent involvement at a childcare center and to evaluate your flyer. 

Assignment is not complete without the self reflection

 

As a center director, you would like to offer the families of the  children in your program more opportunity to become involved in the  center. After reviewing the Strengthening Families program, you decide  to institute a Parent Cafe for the parents of your center. You also need  to remind parents that parent-teacher conferences are coming up and  that parents are invited to volunteer in the classrooms as another way  to get involved. To spread the word, you create a flyer to send home  with each child. This flyer will serve as the invitation but also needs  to entice parents to attend the event and volunteer, and remind them  about conferences.

Focus Assignment: 

Create a flyer that describes the purpose of a Parent Cafe and the  first topic you will discuss. The flyer should also remind families  about volunteer opportunities in the program and about parent-teacher  conferences and the need to schedule time with their child’s teacher. Use digital graphics that are eye catching to encourage families to look more closely.
