Does he build a strong case? | The authors of this journal article purpose was to examine and explore the trend within the United States towards social studies in elementary school (Kindergarten through 5th Grade) and how it has become marginalized. The authors compare social studies marginalization to the stronger emphasis placed upon reading, mathematics, language arts, and science. The authors of the article suggest that there is a trend in elementary schools is to give little to no social studies instruction within the primary grades (Kindergarten-2nd Grade) and then progress the amount of instruction in the intermediate grades (3rd Grade-5th Grade). The authors build a strong argument based on the amount of time spent instructing elementary school students in social studies in comparison to junior high school and high school students. The authors also show a growing trend toward this becoming a norm across the United Stated education system. | The authors wrote this article with the purpose of examining the effects that No Child Left Behind has had on social studies. The authors note that as a...

...Guidelines for the ECON 411W Term Paper Each student is expected to write a term paper on a topic relevant to the course, but of your choosing. Each of you should chose a topic and submit the idea by October 5th for my approval. In your proposal, you should describe to me what you plan to write about and why. You must (and this is important) provide a brief selection of material/scholarly articles that you plan to rely on for your paper. After your topic has been approved, you are free to begin development of the paper in greater detail. The purpose of this writing assignment is to help you express your thoughts/findings on a subject related to Money and Banking, as well as to gain some greater confidence in the process of scholarly writing. That said, I am NOT looking for original research, although in some cases (but not all cases), basic data analysis may be required for you to demonstrate certain points you wish to make. This project is about writing and expressing your ideas in a clear and careful way. A first draft of this term paper is due next Monday (November 11th). Please post the papers on Blackboard. If you must, you can forward to my email account. The paper must be typed, double spaced, and roughly 12 pages in length, exclusive of tables and references. The first draft will account for 1/3 of your final grade on the paper. I am looking to see that you have developed the idea in a reasonably thorough way. By that I mean the following: 1) You have...

...Internet resources can be used as a patient education tool and they offer the opportunities for personal interaction. Instead of following health advice and instructions passively, internet tools allow people to maintain their physical well-being actively by providing updated health information, user friendly activities, and support groups (Rankin et al., 2005). 64% of the 113 million internet users in America have searched for medical information. (as cited in Rankin et al., 2005). Many health professionals concern that the internet resources can be potentially negative by spreading misinformation (as cited in Rankin et al., 2005). However, only scant research supports this concern, and other research shows that the overall accuracy of the health information on internet is good (as cited in Rankin et al., 2005). This paper is to analyze MedlinePlus, one of the patient education websites, using Fry Readability Formula, SAM (Suitability Assessment of Materials), and the guidelines that Rankin, Stallings and London (2005) suggest. MedlinePlus contains countless pages of health information including diseases, interactive health tutorials, games, medical dictionary, and videos. Therefore, analyzing one of the vast amounts of pages will have limitation to generalize the whole website. This analysis can be considered as an example. Because I work in the renal unit, and most of my patients experience chronic kidney failure, I chose the page of the chronic kidney disease. The URL is...

...the quality of papers that are made of durian rinds, pineapple leaves and cogon grass combined with recycled papers based on the absorption of water. Research Background During the durian season, durian rinds accumulate in high piles as vendors usually remove the rinds for buyers' convenience. In addition to ripe durian rind, raw durian rinds are also left unattended after the flesh has been removed for processing as deep-fried durian. Rinds are considered as good for organic fertilizer, or firewood, but they are not easily disposed off. While Cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica) has become a major problem for landowners, land managers, foresters, and governmental agencies. This type of plant grows very fast and considered as one of the world's 10 worst weeds and has invaded every continent except Antarctica. Research question Which type of recycle materials absorb water most in 2 minutes. Hypothesis Durian rinds mixed with recycle paper absorb water most. Variables Independent variable: Different types of recycle material; cogon grass + recycled paper, durian rind + recycled paper, pineapple leaves + recycled paper, cogon grass + durian rinds + pineapple leaves + recycled paper Dependent variable: The volume of water absorbed Fixed variable: same mass of recycle material, same initial volume of water, fixed time duration. Methodology: To make paper from durian rinds, cogon grass and pineapple leaves added with recycled paper 1. Wash durian...

On April 5th, 1968, a teacher in Riceville, Iowa named Jane Elliot conducted an exercise on her third grade class students that dealt with the concept of discrimination that would grow up to be a renowned experience. The exercise was the result from Martin Luther King’s assassination. The documentary is an eye opening into the world of racism and discrimination. The dictionary defines racism as “a doctrine that one race is superior†and discrimination as “the denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals and groups because of prejudice or for other arbitrary reasons†Throughout the American society . and through its history you can find discrimination. The documentary shows us that discrimination doesn’t just go to the extent to the color of your skin or what your ethnicity is, but can fall into any physical characteristics, your social status, where youâ €™re from, having a developmental disability, simple as being a woman and what not of other things, and in this case the color of your eyes.
