Disability that may affect students in the classroom

Post has three assignments

1:write a report on a disability that may affect students in the classroom. The report should follow the guidelines below. • Answer the questions: o What is assistive technology? o Describe the disability that you researched. o How does the disability affect a student’s ability to perform in the classroom? o What assistive technologies exist to help students with this disability (at least two) be more successful in the classroom? How do they help? The technologies you present should be high tech*, and two completely different technologies, not two examples of the same. • The report should include the following: o Information from at least one scholarly journal article. o An in-text reference to the scholarly journal article. o Information from at least one organizational site (.org). o An in-text reference to the organizational site. o Information from a third source of your choosing (may be a commercial site). o A title page. o An abstract. o A reference page. • Submit the report in Blackboard. Recommendations • Get started on the assignment early. A third of your time will be spent just searching for information. • Be present for the library orientation session. This is where you will learn how to navigate the library’s website, and how to locate scholarly journals. • Use the resources in the Course Documents area in Blackboard. There are several resources that deal with evaluating websites and writing in APA format. • Check your work against the rubric before submitting.

2: a film class

Do a research proposal for a film class- would love to focus on some Indian cinema in relation to American cinema (Hollywood vs Bollywood) or something about Satyajit ray’s films(post colonial cinema) – so if you can come up with a research proposal for that – it would be great! Or, anything relating to Film over the years ( some examples – Silent Cinema, technicolor age of cinema, classic Hollywood, documentary, Neo realist, ephemeral film, auteur theory) Make sure your topic is narrow (focus on a particular time period, a unit theme etc. etc.)

The research paper proposal will be your opportunity to identify of personal interest relevant to course themes, begin exhuming secondary and primary source material related to said topic, and receive feedback before settling on the final direction of your research paper due at the end of the semester. The document you submit must include: (A) topic description, (B) secondary literature review, and (C) list of primary source materials. Allow at least 1-2 pages (double-spaced) for each section.

The research paper proposal will be comprised of the following four sections as detailed below. Proposals should be 3-4?pages in length (including annotated bibliography)
1)?Defining your research topic (2-3 paragraphs): In this section you will establish the basic facts, historical scope, and key themes/issues/questions that define your chosen research project. If you plan to organize your paper around the analysis of particular films, make sure to identify those films?in your project statement. Although you may use an assigned reading, film or topic discussed in class as the jumping off point for your?paper topic, you are welcome (indeed encouraged!) to go beyond the immediate scope of the syllabus. Make your research paper reflect your own interests or simply dig (much, much) deeper into a topic that piqued your curiosity over the course of the semester. It may be helpful to think of your paper topic as your chance to customize or add a unit to the syllabus of your own design. How would you describe that unit and what films and readings would you assign??

2)?Secondary sources (historiographic context) and Research Plan:?Once you’ve established a general topic and research question, describe in 2-3 paragraphs what kind of secondary sources you think you will need to provide you with the necessary historical background and/or theoretical context for your project. For example, if you are interested representations of Artificial Intelligence in science fiction films from the 1980s to the present, you might consider tracking down academic articles and books on the history of A.I., general works on science fiction film, specialist literature on a particular films?or?contemporary science fiction cinema, and perhaps examples of film theory (e.g. Mulvey, Williams, Halberstam, M?nsterberg, etc) that you think may prove especially useful in your analysis.
?At the close of this short section include a short list of the 3-5 best/most useful secondary sources you have consulted to date.

3)?Primary sources: Although not all projects will require extensive primary source research, describe the kinds of primary sources you expect to use in your paper and how/where you will access them. Will you look at film reviews contemporary to a particular film?s release? If so, which newspaper database do you plan to use (e.g. ProQuest)?

4) Working Bibliography: This working bibliography should include a complete list of all relevant secondary sources you have found so far as well as any primary sources you’ve collected.?You may format your bibliography in any citation style (e.g. Chicago Manual, MLA?) insofar as it is used consistently and correctly.?You are not expected to have read all these sources; rather consider this a list of promising sources you’ve set aside. In addition to those sources listed in Section 2, plan to include at least 5-7 additional secondary sources. If you’ve already begun to find primary sources, list them in a separate section.
