Students must draw on all of the readings for the particular selected unit in their reflections. For example, if students choose to do a reflection based on Unit 2, the paper must draw on the Dicken (2011) reading and the Knox et al. (2015) reading.
Although students are expected to demonstrate a clear understanding of the readings, reflection papers are not intended to simply summarize the readings. Rather, students should outline the main points of the readings and use this as the basis for a critical reflection.
Critical reflections should demonstrate depth in thinking about the material they are learning, and evaluate critically how theories and practices of geography can influence their own lived experiences and observations about the world.
Students are encouraged to draw on other sources in addition to course materials, including the weekly discussion postings from previous Units if applicable.
All sources, including the course readings, lecture notes, and discussion postings must be properly cited using APA.
Reflection papers are to be written according to academic scholarship standards (1,000 +/- 100 words excluding title page and references).

Unit 5 Notes: Geographies of Culture and Identity
The reading this week comes from chapter 5 in the textbook, Human geography: People, place, and culture, by Fouberg, Murphy, and De Blij (2015). This chapter begins by examining the intersections of culture and identity, and in particular the gendered division of labour in different societies. Gender is an important identity category that human geographers seek to understand, especially how it relates to power and intersections with other identity categories, such as ethnicity, race, class, and sex. Human geographers are especially concerned with investigating how identity categories are propped up by unquestioned assumptions and stereotypes. Different societies often impose well-defined identity categories that conceptualize people not as individuals, but as members of a category assumed to behave and act in certain ways.
Geographers understand identity in two ways: as a way that individuals define themselves, and as a way individuals are defined by others. Both often rely on processes of inclusion and exclusion, where identity relies on what political and gender theorist Judith Butler (1993) refers to as a 'constitutive outside': defining a particular subject according to what it is not, or according to what it excludes. Place and connections to place can also deeply influence the construction of identity, most obviously at the national scale (think of images often associated with being “Canadian”), but also at more local scales. Race continues to define an identity category, even though a scientific consensus has emerged that physical differences in human appearances do not constitute significant differences in the hu.

Twin Brothers. Are they different races?
The groups (e.g. social class, family, football team etc.) which people belong to are an important source of pride and self-esteem. Groups give us a sense of social identity: a sense of belonging to the social world.
In order to increase our self-image we enhance the status of the group to which we belong. For example, England is the best country in the world! We can also increase our self-image by discriminating and holding prejudice views against the out group (the group we don’t belong to). For example, the Americans, French etc. are a bunch of losers!
Therefore, we divided the world into “them” and “us” based through a process of social categorization (i.e. we put people into social groups). This is known as in-group (us) and out-group (them).
Social identity theory states that the in-group will discriminate against the out-group to enhance their self-image.
The central hypothesis of social identity theory is that group members of an in-group will seek to find negative aspects of an out-group, thus enhancing their self-image.
Prejudiced views between cultures may result in racism; in its extreme forms, racism may result in genocide, such as occurred in Germany with the Jews, in Rwanda between the Hutus and Tutsis and, more recently, in the former Yugoslavia between the Bosnians and Serbs.
Henri Tajfel proposed that stereotyping (i.e. putting people into groups and categories) is based on a normal cognitive process: the tendency to group things together. In doing so we tend to exaggerate:
1. the differences between groups
2. the similarities of things in the same group.
We categorize people in the same way. We see the group to which we belong (the in-group) as being different from the others (the out-group), and members of the same group as being more similar than they are. Social categorization is one explanation for prejudice attitudes (i.e. “them” and “us” mentality) which leads to in-groups and out-groups.
Examples of In-groups – Out-groups
o Northern Ireland: Catholics – Protestants
o Rwanda: Hutus and Tutsis
o Yugoslavia: the Bosnians and Serbs
o Germany: Jews and the Nazis
o Politics: Labor and the Conservatives
o Football: Liverpool and Man Utd

Social Identity Theory Outline
Tajfel and Turner (1979) proposed that there are three mental processes involved in evaluating others as “us” or “them” (i.e. “in-group” and “out-group”. These take place in a particular order. The first is categorization. We categorize objects in order to understand them and identify them. In a very similar way we categorize people (including ourselves) in order to understand the social environment. We use social categories like black, white, Australian, Christian, Muslim, student, and bus ...

Main Discussion United States CensusDefining your racial and PazSilviapm
Main Discussion: United States Census
Defining your racial and ethnic identities has to do with how you classify race and identity and how others categorize them as well. Race refers to the conception that people can be categorized into groups based on skin color, hair texture, and facial features. Japanese is an example of a racial group. Ethnicity refers to a group of people who share a sense of connectedness based on national origin, language, or religion. Irish-Catholic is an example of an ethnic group. The term
culture
also appears in discussions about race and ethnicity. Culture refers to shared attitudes and behaviors, such as customs. People of the same race and ethnicity often share culture as well, and you may notice some overlap between culture, race, and ethnicity.
There are different approaches used to define racial and ethnic identities. Your text emphasizes an approach called
constructionism
. Constructionists argue that definitions of race and ethnicity cannot be separated from social processes, such as political, legal, economic, and other outside influences. They believe that these outside influences "construct" definitions of race and ethnicity, and definitions change as social processes change. For example, black children in the 1950s may have felt they were not as valued, not as competent, and not as "good" as white children because social processes at the time supported these ideas. Political and economic influences favored white children over black children. Social processes in the current era reject favoring white children over black children. Constructionism has both benefits and limitations when you consider your own racial and ethnic identities.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the "Framework Essay" as well as the assigned pages in Readings 1, 4, and 7 from Section I of the course text,
The Meaning of Difference
. Pay particular attention to the concept of constructionism as it relates to race and ethnicity.
Think about how you define your own racial and ethnic identities.
Consider how the constructionist approach has influenced your racial and ethnic identities.
Reflect on the benefits and limitations of the constructionist approach as it relates to your racial and ethnic identities.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post
a brief description of your racial and ethnic identities; that is, how do you define your race and ethnicity? After reading about the constructionist model, explain how it influences your racial and ethnic identities. In your explanation, include specific references that are personal to your racial and ethnic identity. Finally, briefly explain what you see are the benefits and limitations of a constructionist approach to one’s identity.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Review for Midterm, American Culture1. Individualism and civi.docxjoellemurphey
Review for Midterm, American Culture
1. Individualism and civic or community involvement.
What does individualism mean in American culture, how it relates to concepts and values such as freedom, democracy, civic responsibility, community involvement. Be able to discuss how all this is related. Be able to discuss the concept of social capital and its decline. Understand and be able to explain the difference between utilitarian liberalism and moral liberalism. How do Americans connect their own fulfillment to that of other people, despite (or because of) individualism?
2. America as a land apart. This examines how Americans have always thought of America as somehow different, special, set apart from other people, cultures, or countries. It applies to questions like whether America is seen as a haven for the world’s oppressed, as a power in the world, etc. It refers to how many generations of immigrants have seen America and why they came here. It also refers to several opposing or conflicting attitudes and values, such as isolationism (America should not get involved with the rest of the world), nativism (foreign immigrants are the problem), extreme patriotism? What are the positive and negative sides to American exceptionalism?
3. Equality and inequality. This includes the tensions between our cultural ideals and values of equality and the reality of inequality in America—poverty, racism, the heritage of slavery and relations to Native Americans, etc. You should be able to explain how/why social categories such as race, social class, and even gender, as socially constructed, not biological or inherent--how racial and class categories are socially constructed and negotiated and “man-made,” rather than biologically inherent and “God-given.” Basically: our physical and genetic traits are inherent and given, but how we and others choose to perceive, emphasize, or ignore various physical and genetic traits, how we place people into arbitrary categories based on these traits, and how we set one category as “higher” or better than another are all socially constructed and learned. We can look at inequality as giving different groups of people different access to wealth, power, and prestige, and how the same social categories that define our identity (race, ethnicity, gender, etc.) also place us somewhere in a social hierarchy. We can always “negotiate” and try to change this. How can inequality be seen on the level of individuals and images (personal attitudes of prejudice, etc.), institutions discrimination, (policies and practices of institutions that perpetuate racism or inequality), and ideology (systems of attitudes, beliefs, ideas, and symbols that rationalize and support or challenge the “rightness” of a situation of inequality).We can change individuals on the level interpersonal relationships, but if we do not change institutional policies and practices and develop an alternative ideology, we won’t change inequality.

1 Personality TraitsResearch has explored universal and culture.docxhoney725342
1: Personality Traits
Research has explored universal and culture-specific personality traits. “The Five-Factor Model,” also known as the “Big Five,” has identified five universal personality traits—openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (OCEAN). In contrast, the “Five-Factor Theory” (FFT) of personality “suggests that the universal personality traits representing basic tendencies are expressed in characteristic ways; these characteristic ways can be largely influenced by the culture in which one exists” (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008, p. 268). Culture-specific personality traits, expressed by individuals in a certain culture, have also been identified in research.
For this Discussion,review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the cultural influences on personality development. Think about how culture-specific personality traits might impact the role of the scholar-practitioner working with a client or research population from this culture. Select two cultures and two culture-specific personality traits to use for this Discussion.
With these thoughts in mind:
2) A brief description of two universal personality traits. Then describe two culture-specific personality traits for each of the two cultures you selected. Explain how culture influences personality development. Finally, discern two ways these culture-specific personality traits might impact a scholar-practitioner. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

2: Identity
There is a great deal of research on individualism versus collectivism to explain the variety of cultural differences that make up a person’s identity. These studies show a variation in communication, expression, perception, and conflict avoidance that has become a framework of cultural theory (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008). Consider your own identity. Would you be the same person if you were raised in a culture that valued the group over the individual (collectivistic culture) or valued independence and the development of the self (individualistic culture)? How does your culture impact your identity?
For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the impact of collectivistic and individualistic cultures on identity development.
With these thoughts in mind:
2) A brief explanation of how a person’s identity may develop differently in a collectivistic versus an individualistic culture. Then explain how your own identity has been impacted by your culture (collectivistic or individualistic). Finally, explain how your identity might differ if you were raised in the other type of culture. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

"If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity", said John F. Kennedy. Presenting one's cultural identity reinforces recognition of the sheer diversity of individuals and their groups. Strikingly, even where cultural identity structures are similar, cultural identity mapping can—and usually does—reveal different individual interpretations of where, how, and to what degree a group's culture is represented in the self. Awareness raising and more effort can build intergroup understanding in organizations.

Application Social ClassIn the Discussion, you addressed how .docxarmitageclaire49
Application: Social Class
In the Discussion, you addressed how constructionism influenced your racial and ethnic identities. The concept of social class is also based on or influenced by constructionism. Social class categorizes people according to their level of importance in society. According to the constructionist approach, social processes, such as political, legal, economic, and other outside influences help to categorize you as one class or another. Since outside influences change over time, designations of social class may change over time as well.
When you think of social class, you may think of wealth or power. These attributes do influence social class and will be addressed further in Week 3. Characteristics of race, such as skin color, also can influence social class. In some cultures, people may be assigned to a social class based on their skin, hair, or eye color. For example, in a culture in which white people are considered to be in a higher social class than dark people, the class of people in between may be based on the darkness of their skin, with light-skinned black people being considered in a higher class than dark-skinned black people. In a Native American society, a dark-haired person may be considered to be in a higher social class than a light-haired person. Dark hair matches expectations of appearance for members of a particular tribe. Categorizing individuals by social class can lead to conflicts in defining racial and ethnic identities. In Reading 4, June grapples with such a conflict and must revisit the definition of what it means to be Indian.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review the Readings 1, 4, and 6 in the course text, The Meaning of Difference. Pay particular attention to social class and the biological definitions of race and ethnicity.
Think of an historical example of how social class has changed over time.
Identify the major conflict in June's scenario in Reading 4.
Think about the consistencies and inconsistencies in June's approach to solving the conflict.
Consider the impact of social class on June's logic.
The assignment (1–2 pages):
Describe an historical example of how social class has changed over time. Then explain how social class changed in the example, and what caused it to change.
Describe the major conflict in June's scenario.
Explain the consistencies and inconsistencies in June's approach to solving the conflict.
Analyze the impact of social class on June's logic.

Short paper #2
La Haine is a 1995 drama film that directed by Mathieu Kassovitz. The events of the movie took place in France, and it was mainly focused on three friends from different ethnic backgrounds who were trying to face the struggles that faced them in their lives in a city called banlieues in France. (Kassovitz). The three young men were first Vinze a young Jewish who wanted to revenge from the police, and he was always trying to show the aggressive face, and he wished to kill the police, but he could not kill any policeman because he was kind and could not do it. Instead by the end of the movie, he got shot that killed him by police. The second character was Hubert an afro France who was a boxer, and he was selling drugs as well to get the money so he can help his family. Also, he hated the police like Vinze, but the difference between them was that Hubert was able to kill a police officer while Vinze was not. The last character was Said an Arab Maghrib, and he was loving his friends and liked to hang out with them. Also, he was in between the two in which when Vinz and Hubert dispute with each other, he was the one who tried to get them together again. So, the three young men were treated differently from the public, police, and other people as well and that because they had different ethnicity and roots. For example, the police violence against the people who had a different ethnic background, in which the entire movie the police was chasing the three young men especially Hubert and Said because Hubert was black, and Said Muslim. That means the France government or society encouraged the idea of racism and hatred to other ethnic groups, and that affected the people who diaspora from other countries to France with the hope that they would find a better life, but they surprised by the bad treatment from the police and society. Thus, that caused the people with a different ethnicity to face problems like fewer job opportunities which lead them to work as a drug dealer or other bad jobs to get some money to live like what happened with Hurburt. Another struggle that they would face because of the France system was an education in which they did not have the opportunity to get a proper education. Even if they got an education, they would not have the chance to have a proper job. So, the ethnic minority groups in France was facing many struggles from the government, and police that made their life harder and even impossible to live.

also appears in discussions about race and ethnicity. Culture refers to shared attitudes and behaviors, such as customs. People of the same race and ethnicity often share culture as well, and you may notice some overlap between culture, race, and ethnicity.
There are different approaches used to define racial and ethnic identities. Your text emphasizes an approach called
constructionism
. Constructionists argue that definitions of race and ethnicity cannot be separated from social processes, such as political, legal, economic, and other outside influences. They believe that these outside influences "construct" definitions of race and ethnicity, and definitions change as social processes change. For example, black children in the 1950s may have felt they were not as valued, not as competent, and not as "good" as white children because social processes at the time supported these ideas. Political and economic influences favored white children over black children. Social processes in the current era reject favoring white children over black children. Constructionism has both benefits and limitations when you consider your own racial and ethnic identities.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the "Framework Essay" as well as the assigned pages in Readings 1, 4, and 7 from Section I of the course text,
The Meaning of Difference
. Pay particular attention to the concept of constructionism as it relates to race and ethnicity.
Think about how you define your own racial and ethnic identities.
Consider how the constructionist approach has influenced your racial and ethnic identities.
Reflect on the benefits and limitations of the constructionist approach as it relates to your racial and ethnic identities.
With these thoughts in mind:
By Day 3
Post
a brief description of your racial and ethnic identities; that is, how do you define your race and ethnicity? After reading about the constructionist model, explain how it influences your racial and ethnic identities. In your explanation, include specific references that are personal to your racial and ethnic identity. Finally, briefly explain what you see are the benefits and limitations of a constructionist approach to one’s identity.
Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Review for Midterm, American Culture1. Individualism and civi.docxjoellemurphey
Review for Midterm, American Culture
1. Individualism and civic or community involvement.
What does individualism mean in American culture, how it relates to concepts and values such as freedom, democracy, civic responsibility, community involvement. Be able to discuss how all this is related. Be able to discuss the concept of social capital and its decline. Understand and be able to explain the difference between utilitarian liberalism and moral liberalism. How do Americans connect their own fulfillment to that of other people, despite (or because of) individualism?
2. America as a land apart. This examines how Americans have always thought of America as somehow different, special, set apart from other people, cultures, or countries. It applies to questions like whether America is seen as a haven for the world’s oppressed, as a power in the world, etc. It refers to how many generations of immigrants have seen America and why they came here. It also refers to several opposing or conflicting attitudes and values, such as isolationism (America should not get involved with the rest of the world), nativism (foreign immigrants are the problem), extreme patriotism? What are the positive and negative sides to American exceptionalism?
3. Equality and inequality. This includes the tensions between our cultural ideals and values of equality and the reality of inequality in America—poverty, racism, the heritage of slavery and relations to Native Americans, etc. You should be able to explain how/why social categories such as race, social class, and even gender, as socially constructed, not biological or inherent--how racial and class categories are socially constructed and negotiated and “man-made,” rather than biologically inherent and “God-given.” Basically: our physical and genetic traits are inherent and given, but how we and others choose to perceive, emphasize, or ignore various physical and genetic traits, how we place people into arbitrary categories based on these traits, and how we set one category as “higher” or better than another are all socially constructed and learned. We can look at inequality as giving different groups of people different access to wealth, power, and prestige, and how the same social categories that define our identity (race, ethnicity, gender, etc.) also place us somewhere in a social hierarchy. We can always “negotiate” and try to change this. How can inequality be seen on the level of individuals and images (personal attitudes of prejudice, etc.), institutions discrimination, (policies and practices of institutions that perpetuate racism or inequality), and ideology (systems of attitudes, beliefs, ideas, and symbols that rationalize and support or challenge the “rightness” of a situation of inequality).We can change individuals on the level interpersonal relationships, but if we do not change institutional policies and practices and develop an alternative ideology, we won’t change inequality.

1 Personality TraitsResearch has explored universal and culture.docxhoney725342
1: Personality Traits
Research has explored universal and culture-specific personality traits. “The Five-Factor Model,” also known as the “Big Five,” has identified five universal personality traits—openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism (OCEAN). In contrast, the “Five-Factor Theory” (FFT) of personality “suggests that the universal personality traits representing basic tendencies are expressed in characteristic ways; these characteristic ways can be largely influenced by the culture in which one exists” (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008, p. 268). Culture-specific personality traits, expressed by individuals in a certain culture, have also been identified in research.
For this Discussion,review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the cultural influences on personality development. Think about how culture-specific personality traits might impact the role of the scholar-practitioner working with a client or research population from this culture. Select two cultures and two culture-specific personality traits to use for this Discussion.
With these thoughts in mind:
2) A brief description of two universal personality traits. Then describe two culture-specific personality traits for each of the two cultures you selected. Explain how culture influences personality development. Finally, discern two ways these culture-specific personality traits might impact a scholar-practitioner. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

2: Identity
There is a great deal of research on individualism versus collectivism to explain the variety of cultural differences that make up a person’s identity. These studies show a variation in communication, expression, perception, and conflict avoidance that has become a framework of cultural theory (Matsumoto & Juang, 2008). Consider your own identity. Would you be the same person if you were raised in a culture that valued the group over the individual (collectivistic culture) or valued independence and the development of the self (individualistic culture)? How does your culture impact your identity?
For this Discussion, review this week’s Learning Resources. Consider the impact of collectivistic and individualistic cultures on identity development.
With these thoughts in mind:
2) A brief explanation of how a person’s identity may develop differently in a collectivistic versus an individualistic culture. Then explain how your own identity has been impacted by your culture (collectivistic or individualistic). Finally, explain how your identity might differ if you were raised in the other type of culture. Support your responses using the Learning Resources and the current literature.

"If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity", said John F. Kennedy. Presenting one's cultural identity reinforces recognition of the sheer diversity of individuals and their groups. Strikingly, even where cultural identity structures are similar, cultural identity mapping can—and usually does—reveal different individual interpretations of where, how, and to what degree a group's culture is represented in the self. Awareness raising and more effort can build intergroup understanding in organizations.
For students of CAPE pursuing Sociology or Caribbean studies. This would provide relevant information pertinent to their understanding of Caribbean society and Culture.

Application Social ClassIn the Discussion, you addressed how .docxarmitageclaire49
Application: Social Class
In the Discussion, you addressed how constructionism influenced your racial and ethnic identities. The concept of social class is also based on or influenced by constructionism. Social class categorizes people according to their level of importance in society. According to the constructionist approach, social processes, such as political, legal, economic, and other outside influences help to categorize you as one class or another. Since outside influences change over time, designations of social class may change over time as well.
When you think of social class, you may think of wealth or power. These attributes do influence social class and will be addressed further in Week 3. Characteristics of race, such as skin color, also can influence social class. In some cultures, people may be assigned to a social class based on their skin, hair, or eye color. For example, in a culture in which white people are considered to be in a higher social class than dark people, the class of people in between may be based on the darkness of their skin, with light-skinned black people being considered in a higher class than dark-skinned black people. In a Native American society, a dark-haired person may be considered to be in a higher social class than a light-haired person. Dark hair matches expectations of appearance for members of a particular tribe. Categorizing individuals by social class can lead to conflicts in defining racial and ethnic identities. In Reading 4, June grapples with such a conflict and must revisit the definition of what it means to be Indian.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review the Readings 1, 4, and 6 in the course text, The Meaning of Difference. Pay particular attention to social class and the biological definitions of race and ethnicity.
Think of an historical example of how social class has changed over time.
Identify the major conflict in June's scenario in Reading 4.
Think about the consistencies and inconsistencies in June's approach to solving the conflict.
Consider the impact of social class on June's logic.
The assignment (1–2 pages):
Describe an historical example of how social class has changed over time. Then explain how social class changed in the example, and what caused it to change.
Describe the major conflict in June's scenario.
Explain the consistencies and inconsistencies in June's approach to solving the conflict.
Analyze the impact of social class on June's logic.

Short paper #2
La Haine is a 1995 drama film that directed by Mathieu Kassovitz. The events of the movie took place in France, and it was mainly focused on three friends from different ethnic backgrounds who were trying to face the struggles that faced them in their lives in a city called banlieues in France. (Kassovitz). The three young men were first Vinze a young Jewish who wanted to revenge from the police, and he was always trying to show the aggressive face, and he wished to kill the police, but he could not kill any policeman because he was kind and could not do it. Instead by the end of the movie, he got shot that killed him by police. The second character was Hubert an afro France who was a boxer, and he was selling drugs as well to get the money so he can help his family. Also, he hated the police like Vinze, but the difference between them was that Hubert was able to kill a police officer while Vinze was not. The last character was Said an Arab Maghrib, and he was loving his friends and liked to hang out with them. Also, he was in between the two in which when Vinz and Hubert dispute with each other, he was the one who tried to get them together again. So, the three young men were treated differently from the public, police, and other people as well and that because they had different ethnicity and roots. For example, the police violence against the people who had a different ethnic background, in which the entire movie the police was chasing the three young men especially Hubert and Said because Hubert was black, and Said Muslim. That means the France government or society encouraged the idea of racism and hatred to other ethnic groups, and that affected the people who diaspora from other countries to France with the hope that they would find a better life, but they surprised by the bad treatment from the police and society. Thus, that caused the people with a different ethnicity to face problems like fewer job opportunities which lead them to work as a drug dealer or other bad jobs to get some money to live like what happened with Hurburt. Another struggle that they would face because of the France system was an education in which they did not have the opportunity to get a proper education. Even if they got an education, they would not have the chance to have a proper job. So, the ethnic minority groups in France was facing many struggles from the government, and police that made their life harder and even impossible to live.

Students learning self-regulation strategies may not always reco.docxorlandov3
Students learning self-regulation strategies may not always recognize how those skills can be developed across content areas. Teachers can assist these students by providing them guidance on how to expand their skills. It is also helpful when teachers establish common processes that provide students with the feedback they need to assess their personal efforts and outcomes.
For this assignment, take on the role of an elementary level teacher at a K-5 school. Your principal has noticed how well you communicate learning objectives, guide students to set individual goals, and guide students to self-regulate and track their progress across multiple content areas. Because of your successes using these best practices, your principal has asked you to present best practices to fellow teachers across all content areas in an upcoming professional development.
Part 1: Best Practices Presentation
Create a 10-12 slide digital presentation to present to your teacher colleagues describing evidence-based instructional practices related to the self-regulation cycle, including goal setting, communicating learning objectives, monitoring student progress, providing effective feedback, and promoting self-regulation across multiple content areas.
The presentation should include the following components:
How to communicate the unit or lesson learning objectives to students, and how they will be measured on their performance of those objectives
How to encourage students’ motivation and engagement through the use of technology and other strategies, creating opportunities for students' active participation in learning, self-motivation, and positive social interaction
How to continuously monitor student progress to provide effective, descriptive feedback across multiple content areas
How to work with students to collaboratively establish learning goals, identify quality work, and analyze their assessment results across multiple content areas
Title slide, reference slide, and presenter’s notes.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
Part 2: Reflection
In 250-500 words, summarize and examine the process of implementing best practices in encouraging self-regulation, setting goals, communicating objectives, monitoring progress, and providing effective feedback.
Consider the following questions:
How can you use students’ performance data to guide and engage students in thinking and learning?
How does the assessment data inform future instructional planning based on identified learning gaps and patterns?
How does planning for students to engage in the self-regulation cycle influence students’ confidence in learning independently and taking ownership of their academic progress?

STUDENTS JOURNAL ENTRY As I progressed in this class I tried a.docxorlandov3
STUDENT'S JOURNAL ENTRY
As I progressed in this class I tried applying what I was learning to the world around me and open my eyes to things I do not see or take for granted. I never really considered myself part of the dominant group as I felt separate from it growing up homeschooled in a Romanian immigrant community. Looking back in retrospection I now that I have benefited from being white in ways I never even realized. By learning how others have struggled to gain access to treatment I never had to think twice about was eye opening.
I look white and have no accent, therefore there is nothing to set me apart from the dominant white culture around me. I never realized I was no different from them in their perspective but also from the perspective of other immigrants and minorities. I can relate to the struggle to fit in and find a place in society because in my childhood we were different. We had an accent, dressed differently, and were poor. However, I could not relate to how difficult it is for others to assimilate because as we lost our accents and entered the middle class the dominant group practically invited us in with open arms.
I have opened my eyes to things I’ve never seen and see how much further we have to go to create a truly open and fair society. There is so much injustice around us that I have never seen before and I feel ashamed for my lack of empathy for those around me.
Just to illustrate how blind I was to racism I have a little story. I have a Hispanic girlfriend, she is a Mexican immigrant in fact. Before taking this class she would occasionally express frustration with how she and her family were treated by hospital and school officials in her neighborhood. At the time I processed this as just people having a misunderstanding and that my girlfriend was probably overreacting. However as I started learning what racism in America really looks like, and that its not just hillbillies in pointy hats I began to notice things I never thought about.
I could see how my girlfriend would sometimes get different service in a negative way that was racially motivated. I finally understood why she wanted me to go with her to certain places like the DMV or car dealerships. She has been talked down to by others because see is a Mexican immigrant. As my eyes opened to her plight I saw how different her immigration story was to mine. I asked her about the time she spent in Texas where she said her family was the most mistreated by whites. I understood why she had angst towards the idea of visiting my family in Tennessee because she is somewhat traumatized by her childhood experience of crossing into a new land and being mistreated and seen as a second class person because she was different.
In hindsight I even noticed while taking this class that my treatment has changed because of her. Looking back at dates I have had in previous relationships I would occasio.

While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Students must draw on all of the readings for the particular selec.docx
1. Students must draw on all of the readings for the particular
selected unit in their reflections. For example, if students
choose to do a reflection based on Unit 2, the paper must draw
on the Dicken (2011) reading and the Knox et al. (2015)
reading.
Although students are expected to demonstrate a clear
understanding of the readings, reflection papers are not intended
to simply summarize the readings. Rather, students should
outline the main points of the readings and use this as the basis
for a critical reflection.
Critical reflections should demonstrate depth in thinking about
the material they are learning, and evaluate critically how
theories and practices of geography can influence their own
lived experiences and observations about the world.
Students are encouraged to draw on other sources in addition to
course materials, including the weekly discussion postings from
previous Units if applicable.
All sources, including the course readings, lecture notes, and
discussion postings must be properly cited using APA.
Reflection papers are to be written according to academic
scholarship standards (1,000 +/- 100 words excluding title page
and references).

Unit 5 Notes: Geographies of Culture and Identity
The reading this week comes from chapter 5 in the textbook,
2. Human geography: People, place, and culture, by Fouberg,
Murphy, and De Blij (2015). This chapter begins by examining
the intersections of culture and identity, and in particular the
gendered division of labour in different societies. Gender is an
important identity category that human geographers seek to
understand, especially how it relates to power and intersections
with other identity categories, such as ethnicity, race, class, and
sex. Human geographers are especially concerned with
investigating how identity categories are propped up by
unquestioned assumptions and stereotypes. Different societies
often impose well-defined identity categories that conceptualize
people not as individuals, but as members of a category
assumed to behave and act in certain ways.
Geographers understand identity in two ways: as a way that
individuals define themselves, and as a way individuals are
defined by others. Both often rely on processes of inclusion
and exclusion, where identity relies on what political and
gender theorist Judith Butler (1993) refers to as a 'constitutive
outside': defining a particular subject according to what it is
not, or according to what it excludes. Place and connections to
place can also deeply influence the construction of identity,
most obviously at the national scale (think of images often
associated with being “Canadian”), but also at more local
scales. Race continues to define an identity category, even
though a scientific consensus has emerged that physical
differences in human appearances do not constitute significant
differences in the human species that can be described as race.
Race is usually an identity imposed on people, and is based
primarily on skin colour and other physical features.
Geographers and other social theorists often use the terms
racialize and racialization to refer to identities that are
subjected on people, mainly based on skin colour. As opposed
to the term race, which implies an objective category, racialize
and racialization suggest a process that has been imposed on
some subjects by others. These terms are usually associated
3. with processes of racism, the act of associating negative or
inferior behaviours and traits with specific groups of people.
Racism has often been used as the rationale or excuse for
colonial and imperialist domination of some groups by others
for the sake of cultural and economic exploitation. Although all
terms describing racial category are problematic, it is now
common in Canada to refer to certain groups of people by skin
colour (e.g., Black, Brown, White); generic cultural grouping
(First Nation, Inuit), or nationality (e.g., Chinese, Mexican,
Icelandic, Samoan). However, as Fouberg et al. (2015) show,
different countries refer to cultural groups and identity
categories in different ways, as evidenced by census categories
that continue to separate out society along identity categories
(p. 120). This illustrates the role that place has in shaping or
imposing identity.
As opposed to race, which is based mainly on physical
attributes, ethnicity is an identity category that refers to a
placed based cultural grouping formed over a long period of
time, and which often become associated with specific
languages and sometimes specific national or sub-national
boundaries. In immigrant receiving countries like Canada,
ethnicities are often hyphenated, such as Chinese-Canadian,
Indo-Canadians, English-Canadian, French-Canadian, and so on.
In the United States, race and ethnicity are sometimes conflated,
such as with the term African-American.
Geographers also study the identity category sex or sexuality,
often drawing on queer theory, a body of literature and
theorizing that disrupts heteronormative and naturalized
divisions of humans into two discrete sexes, male and female.
Moving beyond questioning gender in terms of cultural assigned
roles and assumptions, queer theorists disrupts the biological, as
well as cultural assumptions that give rise to the normalization
and dominance of heterosexuality and the division of
individuals into two opposite sexes based exclusively on sex
4. organs.
A final crucial point that Fouberg et al. (2015, p. 132) make is
that geography shapes power relationships and directly
influences identity: "Power relationships can ... subjugate entire
groups of people, enabling society to enforce ideas about the
ways people behave". These ideas, or cultural norms, are the
subject of the videos for this week, both of which are TED
Talks. The first (2014) questions assumptions between place
and identity. The second (2015) is a humorous but nevertheless
critical view of the cultural identities of a number of American
towns from the perspective of a black man who finds he is not
part of the cultural landscape. These videos also show how
individuals can resist identities imposed on them by others, and
advocate for identities that move beyond stereotyped
assumptions based on race, class, gender, and sexuality.
Identity also has intersections with political geographies, as we
will discuss in Unit Seven. For example, nations and
nationalism are often functions of identity, as groups of people,
sometime around ethnic lines, identify as belonging to a
particular territory. Identity can also be defined along sectarian
lines, which sometimes coincides with particular geographical
territories. Identity can be disrupted when colonial and
imperialist powers impose their own power on groups of people
and destabilize existing spatial relationships, when internal and
external conflicts pit certain groups of people against each
other, or when warfare leads to redefinitions of boundaries, as
is what happened with the Ottoman Empire after the WWI.
The discussion this week focuses on processes of identity
formation. In discussing identity, please keep in mind the
points from this week's readings and videos: that identity is
both imposed upon, and taken on by individuals. Identity is
both self constructed and resisted in many ways. Geographers
pay particular attention to the role of place in these two
5. dimensions of identity formation.
Things to Work On
Part C of the Research Project (annotated bibliography) is due
this week.
Active discussion posting is required every week.
The second reflection paper is due in Unit Seven.
