post has two assignments

” Robert L. Thorp and Richard Ellis Vinograd, Chinese Art and Culture ”

Write an essay (not to exceed 500 words) in response to ANY ONE of the following prompts:
Select TWO of the examples below and compare and contrast their chief features in some detail. What natural elements are depicted or incorporated in each case? How are these elements organized in the painting or garden, and what viewing/walking experience does this organization generate for the audience? Earlier this semester, we discussed that a Chinese landscape can often be understood as a "construct;" do you think this idea of the "construct" still applies in this case? Why? What might be the meaning or purpose of the painted landscape or garden design?
1. Dwelling in the Fuchun Mointains
2. Lingering Garden
3. Yuanmingyuan (Old Summer Palace)

2:Health and Physical Education

Consists of two cycles of lesson plans, one focused on Science, the other on Social Studies. Both cycles require the integration of the Arts, Health Education, and Physical Education. All areas have to be integrated into either cycle/lesson plan. As before, each cycle consists of lesson plans, work samples, assessments and analyses of students’ performance, reflections, and commentaries.

Cycle Two must include the following:

Detailed lesson plans that address your entire class. Label each lesson clearly as to your focus. Use the edTPA/Capstone lesson plan format (4 pgs. max). See Attachment

Description of your rationale for teaching this cycle: What are your objectives? What do you expect the students to learn? Why is it appropriate for this particular class or group of students? (1 page).

Assessment (pre-, post-instruction and progress monitoring). Include data charts which aggregate information on student performance pre- and post-instruction. Indicate data for your entire class. (2 pages)

Student work samples. Minimum of 3 work samples reflecting the performance of students of varied abilities. How does the learner’s work demonstrate what they have or have not learned? Did the work indicate you needed to make any revisions or re-teach some material? Describe the samples and why you chose them. (2 pages).

Analysis of student learning. What is the evidence of student learning in the content area standards identified in this cycle (lessons)? Discuss student work and assessment results in terms of what the students did or did not learn. Explain how you know this.

What does the data say about the instructional cycle and how does this inform your practice? For example, what do the student work and assessment results indicate about how you taught the lesson (the backwards look)? What do the student work and assessment results indicate about what you might need to do, instructionally, going forward? (2 pages).

Reflection of the instruction and assessment that is aligned with Pace’s SOE Conceptual Framework. Address the following questions: What evidence is there in my planning, instruction, assessment, and students’ work that I have promoted social justice? What evidence is there in my planning, instruction, assessment and students’ work that I have enabled all students to be successful learners? What evidence in my planning, instruction, assessment, and students’ work that I have grown in my competency as a teacher. (2 pages).
