...Identify the following components for a lesson you might want to teach: (1) intended grade level for instruction; (2) subject area; and (3) learning objective(s). (These components will be included in the essay in B.) Teaching a lesson in a 12th grade Social Sciences class about the meaning and importance of the rights guaranteed under the bill of Rights. This is in line with the History-Social Science Content Standards of California Public Schools objective 12.2.1 “Discuss the meaning and importance of each of the rights guaranteed under the Bill of Rights and how each is secured (e.g., freedom of religion, speech, press, assembly, petition, privacy.) [ (California Dept of Education, 2000) ]” The first resource I am using is a hand out from the Southern Poverty Law Center website Tolerence.org that will be used as a pre and post lesson assessment tool. This simple hand out asks only two questions which students will have to provide a short written answer for. This first is “What rights are protected under the First Amendment? The second is “What would be a violation of someone’s First Amendment Rights?” While these may seem to be simple questions, there will likely be a drastic difference in response from the pre-assessment to the post assessment, which is the main reason I selected this resource. As a pre-assessment, it will allow the teacher to understand the base of knowledge the students already have about the First Amendment, and as a post-assessment, the teacher...

...and it was quite obvious that not everybody there was Middle Eastern. Nonetheless, the amount of individuals gathered to show support was staggering to say the least. My friend and I sat in the back of the room patiently waiting for the meeting to start. I wasn’t quite sure what I was in for, especially since all I knew about the club was what the acronym of the group stood for. After about 10 minutes in my seat, the room was silent. The president of the club stood up on the podium, ready to give her presentation. She was wearing a bright blue hijab, a headscarf worn by Muslim women all over the globe. She was a relatively fair height, petite, and had dressed modestly and professionally. She had a serious expression on her face yet wasn’t irate. She then proceeded to introduce her name. “Good evening fellow SJP members and guests.” she said. “My name is Amal Ali, a fourth year here at UCR, and am happy to introduce you to the club for the first time.” In the very brief speech she went over the history of the conflict.

...In this essay I will be reflecting on the effectiveness of working in short term groups who have been brought together in a study environment. My group was formed to work on a presentation where the topic was the way different types of teams communicate. My group consisted of five people: Brendon, Dominic, Bridgette, Kelly and myself. I have worked with everyone in this group before, however not as a group, and was confident that we would make a good team. I have a very dominant personality and tend to take the leadership role in these situations and so I took the lead (Thoms, Moore & Scott 1996), however it was also a collaboration, everyone gave their ideas and all ideas were discussed. I will be exploring the advantages and disadvantages of group work within the University setting based on my own group experiences. According to (Hodgkinson-Williams, Slay & Siebörger, 2008 and Lave & Wenger, 1991) the use of group work is an increasingly recognised way for students to problem solve and develop transferable skills which are necessary for the workplace. Group work can also help with expanding the student’s emotional intelligence (Landau & Meirovich, 2011). Emotional intelligence is a quality that employers are now looking for more and more in their employees, even to the point where learning about emotional intelligence is part of management training and development. ADVANTAGES It is believed that the greatest focus of groups, especially those...
