Unit of study for ELLS

I have an example shown in a screenshot. This should be social studies based. Use my essential question and two sources to start off. PLEASE USE TEMPLATE AND NEEDS TO BE PDF
Students will create an instructional unit of study appropriate for all proficiencies
of ELLs by utilizing content learned throughout the course. This assignment will equate to 4-7 pages in length and include (1) crafting a big question, (2) selecting a range of texts, (3) selecting core vocabulary, (4) identifying core learning tasks, (5) providing content mastery tools, and (6) creating a culminating language production project.

i HAVE TWO SOURCES ALREADY I WILL INCLUDE THE LINK AND NAME HERE
1) Essential question: What are the purposes of government ? UNIT: Social studies
2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJaIw03yCgQ We the Kids by David Catrow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5qMF8fa0eQ D is for democracy by Elisa D.Grodin
3) The first text called We the Kids is a less complex form of text to an extent in comparison to D is for democracy. It does contain the preamble from the constitution which is difficult for even adults to understand however there are visuals/ simplified definition of each line that go along with it. I believe D is for Democracy includes more unfamiliar words that can be challenging but necessary for the student to be exposed to. There are images in both that can help the students have word association to them.
The vocabulary. association between the two will help the students better understand the topic and be bale to answer the essential question. They both challenge the student in different ways and allow them to use new vocabulary. The books take a dive into what makes the US government and its attributes to our society. Therefore showing the students its purpose. It breaks down the foundation of the government in a simple and fun way.

External transphobia and how detrimental it is to one’s mental health

This course aims to sharpen your critical reflection skills, and I encourage these analyses through the Critical Reflection Essay. You are required to write an essay on just ONE lesson over the entire course of the semester in which you formulate a thesis statement, critically reflect on the course readings, and use at least two outside sources to support your case. Your critical reflection essay should clearly demonstrate to me that you fully understand, and can clearly articulate, the lesson content.

These are the instructions given by my professor. Some more context, I have chosen to write about how transphobia has a negative impact on the mental health of those who are transgender. The book that the source and citation should come from is called Small Beauty by Jia Qing Wilson-Yang and I’ve linked it below. In the book, Mei (the main character) is often misgendered and also has different encounters where people are openly transphobic. These are some of the things that ultimately lead to a decline in her mental health. Let me know if you have any questions, sorry that the due date is so soon!

Pitch Contest: Delivery Company Startup Assignment

Last assignment you did a great job of thinking quick and moving forward with questions for creating a business from scratch, or at least we covered a lot of the questions that needed to be asked.
So I am helping you out here – I created a spreadsheet that covers every topic we discussed. I even did some competitor freight quotes to help determine if we can charge a retail rate that equals our Cost + 35% Margin. (We can.)
So what remains is for you calculate an annual cost and annual revenue forecast, and then make your pitch slides. Feel free to be as creative as you want. I am attaching some slides (to be used only as vague guides, not for you to specifically follow) and the spreadsheet.
If you are working in a group, each of your submit the completed work of your group, and have your group leader email me your completed docs along with the names of everyone who worked in your group.
If you are solo – then just upload your stuff.
I hope this ambiguous assignment was not too stressful for you. Just remember I am a generous grader and most importantly, there are a ton of things that need to happen in your career and your entreprenurial efforts in which there are no rules but the ones you set, no instructions but the ones you create for yourself, and no guide but your own curiousity and drive to succeed. : )

In 5 or more sentences, explain the main argument or debate that Paper 3 will focus on. Remember that the topic should be debatable.

ITS ABOUT MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

1. In 5 or more sentences, explain the main argument or debate that Paper 3 will focus on. Remember that the topic should be debatable. Also explain what position your paper will take in the argument or debate and what reasons led to your supporting that position.
Please note: Here are a few examples of some topics that will not really work:
1. arguing that a field needs more recognition (or more pay) (this will not work as a topic)
2. arguing that a field is more busy/difficult/interesting than most people know (this will not work as a topic)
3. arguing that a field is perfect for you (this will not work as a topic)
4. arguing that a field is one more people should consider (this will not work as a topic).
5. arguing what a person in this field does all day that most people don’t know about.

Instead, try to choose a workable argument that is debatable and that can be researched. If you’ve been searching in Beacon for sources, you might’ve been able to find what people in the career field are writing about. You might have also found potential topic ideas from the websites you’ve visited that are related to your career.

2.
In 5 or more sentences, explain who’s involved in this issue. In other words, who are the affected parties in this topic? What are their concerns regarding this topic? Consider how these concerns might need to be addressed in Paper 3.
3.
In 5 or more sentences, explain where this issue is occurring and/or how you plan to focus this topic in your paper. In other words, is this issue local? State-wide? National? Global? How are you planning to focus this issue regarding where it’s happening?
4.
In 5 or more sentences, explain the timing of this issue. Is this issue currently occurring? Is it an issue that persists over time? Is it going to happen in the future? Has it already happened? “When” is this issue located in time?

In your first message, greet your classmates and then describe the argument Paper 3 will make. What debate is it focused on?

Hi! We’ll use this discussion to help you think through and brainstorm your arguable topics for Paper 3. Remember that Paper 3’s topic should be something debatable; in other words, the topic should have multiple sides to it that are arguable. Your Paper 3 will argue for one particular position.
Some topics are not workable for Paper 3. The topics that won’t work are topics like the following:
“Here’s what a person in this field does all day,”
“This is a good field to get into,”
“Working in this field is gratifying,”
“This field is harder than people think,”
“People in this field work hard and so should be paid more,”
“People in this field work harder than people in that other field” (or any other comparison between two fields),
“This field needs more recognition.”
These topics listed above are not really debatable issues that can be researched or argued about.
Other topics that should be avoided are the “big” issues like abortion, gun control, euthanasia, or the legalization of marijuana.
Instead, think about important issues in your field that require a solution or a change. For example, your paper might argue through research and evidence that the current schedules used by hospitals are overworking nurses and other medical staff. Or, a paper might argue using research and evidence that keepsake sonograms should be regulated through specific institutions. Or, a paper might argue that ambulance services should not come from private companies. A paper could argue that abandoned oil rig platforms should be allowed to remain standing to accommodate emerging sea ecosystems.
Whatever topic your paper will focus on, it will need to consider multiple angles for the topic (including counterarguments) and how to argue for a particular position. This discussion should help with that.
You will be writing at least 4 messages: one is your own message about your topic (15 pts.), and the other 3 are messages to classmates (5 pts. each). You can use the work you’ve done on any of your worksheets for this discussion.

1. In your first message, greet your classmates and then describe the argument Paper 3 will make. What debate is it focused on? What will your Paper 3 argue regarding that debate? Then, list the reasons that you’ve developed that support that argument. You can also include any questions you have or any information you’re hoping to gain from your peers. Post it to share what you have considered so far. Your initial response should be at least 5 sentences.
2. Next, you’ll start replying to your classmates. Your replies to your classmates will consider their developing arguments. Read each message and try to consider the argument being presented. In your replies, you can ask questions, contribute more reasons to support that position, and/or suggest other ideas that are linked to that argument. Also, contribute some counterarguments–ideas that oppose the argument; try to put on your “disagreeing hat” to counter the position your classmate’s paper will take. Your replies should be at least 5 sentences.
As more messages start to be added to the discussion, you can also start contributing refutations to the counterarguments that others are posting and/or adding other ideas that have not been mentioned yet. Try to provide some new ideas or other ways of thinking of the debate that haven’t been already mentioned.
Note that your initial message is worth 15 points; each response to a classmate is worth 5 points each for a total of 30 points for this assignment. If a message is too short, it won’t earn the points.

Thank you for your work here!

Vanessa Herrera-Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a good weekend.

My paper discusses the benefits of AI technologies in ultrasound imaging. Many believe that implementing AI into ultrasound imaging will reduce the reliability of the exam. Sonographers will become dependent on computer-generated reports, increasing the risk for errors and missed diagnoses. Furthermore, eliminate the need for human Sonographers in the medical field. However, AI technologies have slowly integrated into the medical field with successful results. I believe that AI can significantly improve operational efficiency and patient care. At the same time, it reduces burnout and resolves the shortage of Sonographers in the field.

I’m looking forward to your advice!

Hannah Gatchel-Hi y’all! My argument is focused on how AI should be welcomed into the radiology field. This is one of the most popular debates in the field right now, many believe that 1) AI isn’t advanced enough yet, or 2) AI is going to replace radiologists. But I believe the use of AI is needed in the radiology field. Like multiple other professions, there is a shortage of staff in the radiology field, and feeding into that, there are high rates of burnout (46% of radiologists reported feeling burnout in a 2019 study). Adding to this, the workload in the radiology field is continuing to increase. AI has been proven to decrease the workload in multiple ways including helping with the interpretation of medical scans.

Melissa Ruiz-Hello classmates, I hope everyone is having a great day!!!

I want to argue how art education is just as important as other subjects that are being taught in classes. How can I help people understand why art education is important? Data suggests that students who take art classes have a higher SAT score and higher GPA’s than students who do not take art classes. It is an arguement used to defend our place on the educational field because some may disagree. Some people feel that it is unnecessary and think other subjects are more important. The list of reasons i have developed to support my arguement is art helps build students to have critical thinking, self direct learning, and problem solving. It can also help with communication, self expression and engaging with others. These skills help students with school and life. They are also helpful when you are looking for employment. This is why I believe art education is very important and also one of the many reasons I have chosen to become an art teacher.

Question: Do you think I should have put more detail of why people are against art education?
