Assessing and Teaching Reading: Fluency and Comprehension

The following activity is based on Chapter 8 of the Vaugh and Bos (2020) text.
Teaching Reading Comprehension Strategies
Choose any two evidence-based reading comprehension strategies (with the exception of KWL and brainstorming). Expand your learning by trying new strategies. Choose from the shaded boxes in the chapter that specifically indicate “Evidence-Based Practice.”
Indicate what strategies you have chosen. Briefly explain the strategy.
Choose a specific grade level.
Indicate the grade level.
Choose the reading material (book, book chapter, page, paragraph, newspaper/magazine article, poem, etc.) that forms the basis for the reading comprehension strategies you will teach.
List the title of your selection.
Explain in numbered steps how you would teach both strategies using the reading material you have selected. Use the same reading material for both strategies. Use the procedures specified (in the text) with the strategies as a guide. This is not a lesson plan, but explain your procedure in sufficient detail to facilitate my understanding.
Example (format)
Evidence-Based Practice 1
Strategy: PreReading Plan
According to Vaughn and Bos (2020), the pre-reading plan is a strategy that “assists students in accessing knowledge related to the major concepts presented in a reading selection” (p. 242).
Grade:5
Reading Material: Bud, Not Buddy (Genre-Historical Fiction)
Procedure:
Vaughn and Bos (2020) explain that before beginning the activity, the instructor should “provide a phrase or picture to stimulate group discussion about a key concept in the text” (p. 242). To stimulate discussion about Bud, Not Buddy, I will write “Great Depression” on chart paper. I will also present a series of black and white photos of the Great Depression to stimulate further discussion on the topic. The above should last no more than 5 minutes, approximately, as it is only an introduction. After introducing the topic and engaging in discussion with students, I will implement the following three-phase process, as specified in Vaughn and Bos:
1. Initial association with the concept: To do this, I will….
2. Reflections on initial associations. Next, I will…
3. Re-formation of knowledge. The final step of this evidence-based strategy is to…

HUMAN GROWTH TERM PAPER : ERIKSON’S PSYCHOSOCIAL STAGES

HUMAN GROWTH TERM PAPER : ERIKSON’S PSYCHOSOCIAL STAGES
There are eight psychosocial stages, according to Erikson. Each stage has a specific challenge that the individual must work through. Success at any given stage enhances success at later stages. There is a window of opportunity for growth at each stage. This paper should be a minimum of 1000 words to receive a passing grade, not including a separate cover page and a separate reference page. Note: You will be writing about only stages 5-8.
Stage 5, Adolescence, is called Identity vs. Role Confusion. First write a paragraph explaining this stage from Erikson’s point of view. Explain in your own words. Include a Citation after this paragraph.
Next, write a paragraph or two about several significant events or experiences that occurred to you in this stage. Did you have an easy time of adolescence or was it very difficult? Do you feel as though you were able to emerge from adolescence with a strong identity? How has this stage affected the rest of your life?Did you become more interested in peer groups during adolescence? If so, which peer groups? Do you think most people achieve adolescence by the end of adolescence? Or do you believe that one’s identity shifts through the various stages?
Stage 6, Young Adulthood, Intimacy vs. Isolation. First, write a paragraph explaining this stage from Erikson’s point of view.
Next, write about your own experiences with this stage. In looking at this stage, do you feel that you have been able to establish an intimate relationship? Or do you have fears about having one? Or do you simply prefer not to have one? Are you worried you will never find an intimate partner? What do you think your ideal partner would be like? What would their personality traits and behavior be like?
Stage 7, Middle Adulthood, Generativity vs. Stagnation.
First, write a paragraph explaining this stage from Erikson’s point of view.
Next, write about what you expect your middle age to be like. (If you are already in middle age, write about that is like for you.)Will you be able to be creative and generate energy for the younger generation or those who will follow in your footsteps, either family members, co-workers, or others that you are in contact with? Describe how you would like to experience this stage. If there is someone in this stage who you admire, state what you admire about them. Is this person a mentor, a teacher, a relative, etc. Did this person serve as a role model to you in some way? Describe how that occurred. What is it about this person that caused you to admire or respect them?
Stage 8, Older Adulthood, Integrity vs, Despair.
First, write a paragraph explaining this stage from Erikson’s point of view.
Then, write about what you expect your later years to be like.This is for people who are nearing the end of the last of the eight stages. It occurs when the individual tries to summarize or integrate his or her own life in terms of all 8 stages. So the challenge is whether the individual will evaluate his or her own life with a sense of integrity or not. Success in the previous stages is the key to success in this stage. Again, think of what your life will be like when you are in old age, at 80- 90 years of age. What would you like your life to be like at this point? Who are your role models who are currently in this stage? What characteristics do they have that you find admirable? This could be a relative, neighbor, celebrity or public figure. Are you concerned that at this point you may look back and feel that you have made the wrong life decisions?
Summary:
Finally, write one or two good paragraphs explaining what youhave learned from writing this paper.
To summarize, your paper should have 5 sections:
Section 5: Identity vs. Identity Confusion
Section 6: Intimacy vs. Isolation
Section 7: Generativity vs. Stagnation
Section 8: Integrity vs. Despair
Section 9: Summary

Socrates argued that evil is done out of ignorance. What do you think that Socrates meant by this? Do you agree with his view or do you think that people can act against their best interests and with knowledge? Are there any examples of human behavior that you think correspond to what Socrates means? Any counter-examples? Do any of the narratives reflect the theme of how ignorance can impact us in such a way?

TOPIC 5 :Delve into what Kant means by his famous “end in itself” formula of the categorical imperative (binding duties). Why does Kant think adult humans deserve respect and autonomy? How can this play out, say, in terms of Kant’s forbidding of all lying? Think of an example which abides by the end it itself formula and one which violates it (and explain why you interpret it this way). Using any of the narratives in Rosenstand’s book or the film clips in Blackboard, explain whether Kant’s end in itself formula is being obeyed or violated and why. What do you see as the strengths and weaknesses of Kant’s end in itself formula of duty?

TOPIC 6:Socrates argued that evil is done out of ignorance. What do you think that Socrates meant by this? Do you agree with his view or do you think that people can act against their best interests and with knowledge? Are there any examples of human behavior that you think correspond to what Socrates means? Any counter-examples? Do any of the narratives reflect the theme of how ignorance can impact us in such a way?

Hospitality Lighting Design Experiment – Article Review (Examining the Effects of Full-Spectrum Lighting in a Restaurant)

In 1000 words, consider the following questions in your review:
o Overall summary of the article:
▪ What was the primary research question? How did they construct their study? What were
the variables? What were the results?
o Study Usefulness:
▪ Do you feel that the study construct related to the question they were hoping to answer?
Were you surprised by the results? What did the researchers say was the use of their
study/whom was their study intended to benefit? Do you agree?
o Takeaways for Practice
▪ What are the takeaways from this study for design practice? Do you think that the
conclusions from this study can help interior designers to create more successful
environments? If so, how? If not, how do you think the study could be changed to be more
useful to design professionals?

In what ways do economists and policymakers—those who believe that market-based reforms are the key to improving the health care system—criticize the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA)?

Plagiarism
All work must be free of any form of plagiarism. Put written answers into your own words. Do not simply cut and paste your answers from the Internet and do not copy your answers from the textbook.
Plagiarism consists of taking and using the ideas, writings or inventions of another, without giving credit to that person and presenting it as one’s own. This is an offense that the university takes very seriously. An example of a correctly prepared written response may be found by visiting the Coast Connection student portal. You can find this in the portal by clicking on Student Resources and then Writing Basics.
Citation Styles
The majority of your response should be your own original writing based on what you have learned from the textbook. Be sure to provide a citation and a reference for any materials used, including the required textbook. The following points are designed to help you understand how to provide proper citations and references for your work:
Sources are listed in two places.
The first, a citation, is briefly listed within your answer. This includes identifying information that directs the reader to your list of references at the end of your writing assignment.
The second, a reference, is at the end of your work in the list of references section.
All sources cited should follow APA style and provide enough identifying information so that the reader can access the original material.

What is sustainability and CSR?

You are working for a Canadian company from a sector of your choice (agriculture, manufacturing,
services, telecommunications etc.) based in Ontario. Jackie, who is the owner and CEO of the company,
was recently invited to a conference and heard a very inspiring talk on sustainability and how it was
becoming the “new normal” for businesses in the 21st century. She would like her company to do more
about it, but she is not entirely convinced that there is a business case and she is also afraid that this
could be something very difficult.
Jackie remembered that you had some training in CSR and assigned you to research the matter further.
She asked you to prepare a short research report on what sustainability is and how it relates to your
company, so that she can decide whether to further pursue the matter.

After some thought you decide that your research report should answer the following questions so that
Jackie can make an informed decision:
1. What is sustainability and CSR?
2. What THREE sustainability challenges are most relevant to businesses in your sector in
Canada and/or Ontario? Why are they relevant?
3. What are Canadian businesses in your sector doing to manage those challenges? Please
provide a description of THREE companies demonstrating best practices.
4. Based on the above, describe THREE sustainability actions you would recommend your
company undertake considering your research

● Company: You should choose a specific fictional (not real) company from the sector of your
choice (e.g. ACME Motors in the automotive sector).
● Audience: Remember that your audience is Jackie from the scenario. Not the professor. You
should explicitly address it to her as if you are working in the company of your choice.
● Question 3: When mentioning best practice examples, you should focus on what specific
businesses do (or say they do). You may refer to what other actors such as the government or
other organizations do to help businesses in this area, but this is not what is being asked here

Assignment Structure
Note that it is the contents that counts, rather the length of the assignment. However, a thorough
examination of this topic will probably require 4-5 single-spaced pages (12-point font) to adequately
discuss this topic. Please do not exceed 5 pages. Figures are not part of the page count so feel free to
use them to support your report.
The body of the paper should be divided into appropriately numbered sections, sub-sections, sub-subsections, etc., each with descriptive titles.
Descriptive Title
The title of your report should be informative and specific to draw the reader’s attention.
Executive Summary (No more than 1 page)
Here you should summarize the main points of your report to give your reader a whole picture of the
proposal when they have no time to read it all. This should be at the beginning of the paper, but since it
is a summary of your paper, you should write this section LAST.
Introduction (No more than 1 page)
The introduction should provide the context for this report: why it was written (Jackie asked you! follow
the scenario!) and why the topic that you will present in the rest of the report is important. You should
also define the objectives that will guide the rest of the report. You should also describe the
organization of your paper so that the readers know what to expect.
Research Questions 1-3 (No more than 2.5 pages)
This is the main part of your assignment where you present the findings of your research. You may use
the research questions (1 through 3) as the basis to structure this part. Your description of your research
must be well-documented. Make liberal use of tables, figures, and diagrams (with appropriate captions),
and include literature references appropriately. Be concise and informative.
DO NOT REPEAT THE RESEARCH QUESTIONS ABOVE AS TITLE HEADINGS. YOU SHOULD COME UP WITH
YOUR OWN
Your Recommendation (No more than 1/2 page)
This section should present your opinions and viewpoints on the research that you conducted. This is
essentially answering the last research question.

References
At the end of the report you must provide a list of references used in the report. You should use MLA
Style to format your references AND in-text citations. It is expected that 5-10 references are adequate
for this kind of assignment.
Important- THIS IS NOT AN OPINION PAPER. You MUST support points made with outside research and
all information found MUST be referenced (see below instructions).
Notes on Plagiarism & Style
Please note that just listing the references at the end of the assignment is not adequate!
You should also provide proper (MLA style) and frequent citations throughout your text. Failing to do so
will result in missing marks and possibly a plagiarism case. Also, please note that through Safe Assign it
is extremely easy to see whether you have copied text (without proper citation) from web sources or
from other students. More information and help: https://seneca.libguides.com/mla
The following are examples of phrases that are signs of writing styles that are not appropriate for a
research assignment:
1. “I believe…”: when used in any part other than the “Your Recommendations” part. A research
assignment is based on your research findings rather than your beliefs.
2. “Research shows…”: when used without citations. What research? This is what a research
assignment is all about!
3. “CSR in Canada is adequate/non adequate…”: when this is not supported by your research
findings but only on your intuition or prior knowledge on the subject.
