The class will design a constitution for a newly inhabited island rich in Droughlierium, a natural resource that can power vehicles for years with small amounts. As the original settlers, students will be assigned roles and develop a constitution that establishes the branches of government, rights of citizens, and distribution of land and wealth. Their constitution must address executive, judicial and legislative powers, checks and balances, guaranteed and denied rights. Students will write their own constitution for grading based on how well it fulfills the requirements and their participation in class discussions.
The document discusses the importance of summarization for processing large amounts of text data. Automatic summarization systems aim to condense the key information from long documents into shorter summaries while retaining the most important concepts, facts and ideas. However, accurately summarizing text in a way that captures essential meaning remains a significant challenge for both human and artificial intelligence systems.

Patient advocacy involves supporting a patient's highest level of independence through assessing needs, creating and implementing care plans, and ongoing evaluation. The nursing process aligns with the care management process of intake, diagnosis, planning, and evaluation. A nurse care manager can provide medical navigation, care planning, insurance assistance, and mediation between patients and providers. For example, a case study describes a nurse advocate helping to rebuild trust and improve communication between a patient, family, and hospital staff during a complicated hospitalization through education, facilitating meetings, and modeling questions.

Workshop from the Special Education Principal's Association of New Zealand (SEPANZ) conference 2011.
All of us need to communicate socially through our day – and it makes up a large part of what we do. We tell stories, chat, gossip and listen as others tell us about their weekends. Social communication is often estimated to be more than 50% of our daily conversation.
Many students who use AAC or students who have difficulties with communication have trouble with social communication. This often isolates them from others and creates difficulties with building social closeness.
This presentation will talk about some strategies for improving social communication, including visual scene displays, photo based storytelling and sequenced social scripts. The importance of small talk and using partner directed questions will be discussed – and research showing how crucial this is for people with disabilities to build their social networks will be covered. Use of technology, including speech generating devices and iPads to support students in this area will also be addressed.
Come along and have fun – and learn about helping students with complex communication needs to develop their social communication skills so that they can tell you about their day and tell everyone else all your gossip!

The document summarizes a forum discussion on what topics students would like to learn about in their CALL II class and how they would prefer to learn. Most students expressed interest in learning about managing technology and human language technologies. They preferred a practical class that allows practicing technology skills, discussing topics, and working in teams in an interesting, dynamic way. Based on this feedback and course readings, the proposal recommends focusing on technological tools that develop language skills while keeping learners motivated, such as tools that facilitate communication and familiarize users with technology.
1. Create our own Government
Over the course of the next week we, as a class, will design a government of our own.
You have spent the last class looking at what countries around the world have set up and
now we will have the opportunity to design our own.
This assignment takes place in a newly inhabited island off the coast of Hawaii. This
land is rich in Droughlierium. Droughlierium is a natural resource that is used as fuel.
This fuel burns cleanly and small amounts lasts for years. Droughlierium is the wave of
the future. Imagine a gram of droughlierium powering a car for three years!! Your new
nations’ economy will soon begin to boom. Other nations will pay a fortune to use your
environmentally friendly, limitless supply of Droughlierium.
Only a few people will settle the island to set up an infrastructure before others will join
them. You are the original settlers of this island.
Our first step is to be assigned roles. We all have different interests and we want to be
sure that our interests are covered.
Our second step will be to figure out a way to develop our nation’s constitution. How
will decisions be made, who will make them? How will the work be divided? Who is in
charge?
The third step is to create the Constitution. Who is in charge? How many branches of
government? What rights do the people have? What is wrong with the United States
government and now you can fix?
You need to have the following within our constitution.
• Executive Power
• Judicial Power
• Legislative Power
• Checks and balances if any?
• Guaranteed rights?
• Denied rights?
• How will land and wealth be distributed?
• Anything else you feel is necessary.
You will need to each write a copy of your constitution and pass it in. You will have the
same pats but each of you will end up writing it differently.
You are graded on the outcome of the constitution and fulfilling your responsibility to the
class. Class participation is a large portion of this grade, if you are not in class you are
not participating.
A rubric is on the reverse side.
