LAIBA SIDDIQUI PPT.pptx
This document discusses teaching from several perspectives. It defines teaching as an intimate contact between individuals where a more mature person intends to effect changes in a less mature person. Teaching is characterized as a process of development and learning through face-to-face interaction. There are different types of teaching methods including lecture-based, technology-based, individual-based, and game-based. The document distinguishes between instruction and conditioning, noting that instruction aims to produce copies while conditioning modifies behavior. It also contrasts training, which helps learn new skills in a practical way and shapes habits, with indoctrination, which aims to influence people to believe certain facts without encouraging other beliefs.

This document contains responses to assignment questions about teaching strategies that are consistent with Piaget's cognitive development theory and addressing diversity in the classroom.
1. Discussions can help teaching align with Piaget's theory by allowing students to interact with peers, modifying their existing thoughts through accommodation and assimilation. This active participation helps students construct their own understanding.
2. Classrooms are diverse in ethnicity, culture, language, gender, ability, and economic background. Teachers should avoid stereotypes and tailor instruction to individual student needs and strengths. Strategies like multilingual materials, English classes for parents, and support for socioeconomic disadvantages can promote equal learning.
3. Diversity includes gifted students, students with

Epitaphs assignment
The document discusses five categories of epitaphs found on graves: poignant, pious, patriotic, historic, and humorous. It instructs the reader to analyze three gravestone epitaphs based on these categories, and determine if their initial analysis changes after learning the background story of each epitaph. The reader is asked to upload their analysis to Blackboard.
Cemetery Motif
The document analyzes changing attitudes towards death as reflected in gravestone motifs over time. It identifies six historical motifs - Plain Style (1640-1710 reflecting resignation), Death's Head (1670-1770 reflecting fear and religious reverence), Cherub (1740-1820 reflecting confidence), Urn and Willow (1780-1850 reflecting mourning), Monuments (1840-1920 reflecting defiance and wealth), and Garden Style Markers (1900-present reflecting denial). Each motif is characterized by its time period, associated attitude, common visual characteristics, and historical or religious reasons for its popularity.
The revival of americas first urban parks
Cemeteries were the first urban parks in the US in the early 19th century as church graveyards filled up. Mount Auburn Cemetery in Massachusetts set a trend of "rural cemeteries" on city outskirts that provided green space. However, as attitudes toward death changed and dedicated city parks emerged, cemeteries fell out of favor. Now, facing space constraints and fewer burials as cremation rises, cemeteries like Green-Wood in Brooklyn are reopening their gates and embracing public uses like yoga, movies, and music to stay relevant in their communities.

This document summarizes research on an emergent literacy intervention called "Adapted 'Little Books'" for deaf children. The intervention uses simplified storybooks and sign bilingualism to help deaf children develop early reading skills. Twenty-five deaf children between ages 4-10 participated in the intervention over 14 months. Assessments found that the intervention improved the children's early reading concepts. The intervention incorporated parent involvement to support literacy development at home. Visual tools like drawing and writing also aided the children's emerging reading abilities. Overall, the research suggests that adapted storybooks and sign bilingualism can effectively promote emergent literacy for deaf children.
Scott kuntzeira may12012translatingasatechniqueduringguidedreading
This document summarizes a study on the use of translation during guided reading instruction with deaf students. The study examined how first grade deaf students at a school for the deaf translated between American Sign Language (ASL) and written English at different linguistic levels, from individual words to full sentences, while participating in guided reading sessions. Teachers guided students through leveled texts and students were videotaped signing their translations. Researchers analyzed the videos and identified 5 levels of translation used by students, from fingerspelling words to using multiple signs for multiple words. Overall students used translation infrequently but increased use of higher level translations with more difficult texts. The study provides insights into how translation supports reading development for deaf students.

NAMLE Presentation 2011 Pajka & Nickerson
This document discusses a course on vampires taught at Gallaudet University. The course examines vampires in literature, film, and pop culture from various historical and critical perspectives. Students engage with texts like Dracula and Nosferatu, analyze films like Deafula, and discuss representations of vampires in popular culture. Students also write scripts and create short films on vampire themes. The goal is for students to develop visual literacy and critical thinking skills through interactive study of vampires across media.
Blogging an effective tool for academic writing
This document summarizes research on the use of blogging as an instructional tool in academic writing courses for deaf students. The research found that blogging encouraged student engagement with course readings and writing assignments. Students who blogged were more likely to complete all assigned readings and writings than students in traditional writing courses. Analysis of student writing samples found that blogging students showed slight improvements in areas like organization of ideas and audience awareness. The researchers concluded that blogging promotes literacy, authentic reading and writing, and student engagement in learning.
Book Analysis
This document discusses different perspectives for analyzing deaf characters in adolescent literature: the pathological perspective and the cultural perspective. The pathological perspective views deafness as a disability or deviation from normal, focusing on the condition rather than the person, and often including stereotypes. The cultural perspective emphasizes deafness as part of a linguistic and cultural minority, showing deaf characters as active participants in the deaf community and culture, with American Sign Language portrayed as a legitimate language rather than "broken English". The document provides tools for analyzing books, including checklists of traits associated with each perspective and guidance for examining characters, plots, settings and other elements through the two lenses.
How To Deaf Characters
This document provides guidance on how to do book reviews and book talks for adolescent literature that includes deaf or hard of hearing characters. It recommends choosing books with broad appeal, considering how diverse characters are portrayed, and understanding the difference between reviews and talks. Research findings show hearing authors presented deafness in a more cultural way while deaf authors included more pathological perspectives. The document also provides tips on book selection and presentation for book talks.

This document provides an overview of Sharon Pajka-West's research on portrayals of deaf characters in adolescent literature. The research questions examine whether deaf characters are presented culturally or pathologically, whether readers prefer deaf or hearing authors, and how deaf and hearing readers perceive deaf characters. The study analyzed 6 books with deaf main characters, with content analysis and reader response surveys. Findings included that hearing authors presented deaf characters more culturally while deaf authors included more pathological aspects. Readers overall preferred books by hearing authors and perceived deaf characters in various ways such as "the normal curious kid" or "the advocate." The study aims to increase awareness of this literature genre.
Yadc7[1]
This issue of the newsletter discusses deaf characters in comics and graphic novels. The author began researching deaf characters after students brought comics to class. Initially, most portrayals of deaf characters were unrealistic stereotypes. However, one character, Maya Lopez from Daredevil, is portrayed more realistically as a deaf Native American woman. The class discussions about Maya Lopez helped students learn about deaf culture and identity. The author is looking forward to a webinar about an online graphic novel intervention program that includes a deaf character from Cameroon.
Book Reviews
The document provides summaries and reviews of over 30 books for children and young adults that feature deaf characters. Many of the books are novels that tell stories of deaf teenagers going about their daily lives and experiences. Several works are biographical or historical fiction featuring important figures in the deaf community such as Helen Keller. The books cover a wide range of reading levels and topics related to deaf culture, identity, and experiences.

7th Annual Statewide Professional Conference Madison, Wisc
The document summarizes research on portrayals of deaf characters in adolescent literature. It discusses research questions about whether deaf characters are presented culturally or pathologically, whether readers prefer deaf or hearing authors, and how deaf and hearing readers perceive deaf characters. It then outlines the methodology, including a content analysis of 6 books and surveys of 27 reader participants. Key findings indicate that hearing authors presented deaf characters more culturally while deaf authors included more pathological aspects, and that readers slightly preferred books by hearing authors and perceptions correlated somewhat with cultural content analysis.

The document discusses the portrayal of deaf characters in comics, specifically focusing on Echo, a biracial Latina Native American character in Marvel Comics. It summarizes that prior research found unrealistic depictions of deaf characters and a lack of diversity. An analysis of Echo found she embraces her multiple cultures and languages, and communicates through art, sign language and lip reading. While initially isolated, she is a strong, independent woman. The creator conducted research to make Echo culturally accurate. Overall, the character provides a realistic account that can foster dialogue about deaf and hearing individuals.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
