Discuss the negative influence of too much screen time on children.
Instructions:
· Write about one topic from Ch. 05 & 06 and one topic from Ch. 07 & 08 listed below. Do some outside research if you feel the textbook does not adequately cover the topic. Opinion is fine but it should be supported with information from the textbook or an outside source.
· Do not use direct quotes/verbatim information in your essay. Paraphrase any information you borrow from the textbook or outside source. Provide citation for outside sources.
· For most questions, write about 1 to 1.5 double spaced pages. Content is more important than quantity so keep writing until the topic(s) are adequately discussed.
· This assignment will be submitted via a link in Unit Four.
Topics from Ch. 05 & 06:
· What are the developmental consequences of abuse of children?
· Discuss the negative influence of too much screen time on children.
Topics from Ch. 07 & 08:
· List three possible problems associated with state-mandated testing in schools, which became national policy in 2002 when the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation was signed into law.
· Mrs. Collins is a teacher who needs to develop a strategy for improving relations among ethnically diverse students. List some strategies that she may employ to obtain positive results.
General Guidelines for Written Assignments:
· Be sure to read the entire chapter prior to writing about a topic in that chapter.
· Integrate chapter terms/concepts: define them in your own words (paraphrase), integrate the terms with your own thoughts/give examples.
· Write as though your essay will be read by a novice (someone who knows nothing about your topic). This will force you to elaborate {write with specificity/clarity}.
