It includes having students write what freedom means to them, listening to a recording of Harriet Tubman, reading and discussing a poem about freedom, and researching freedom in the library catalog. The lesson aims to have students interpret the meaning of freedom from different perspectives and sources. In a reflection, the teacher notes some students struggled to define freedom but provided examples of students' responses, from being out of jail to having free expression.

The document discusses different models for teaching literature, including the language model, cultural model, and personal growth model. It provides details on the language model, which focuses on developing students' knowledge of grammar, vocabulary, and discourse through activities like prediction exercises, jumbled sentences, summaries, and role-plays using the text. The language model uses literature as a means for language practice rather than engagement with the text. It takes a reductive approach where activities can be applied to any text rather than focusing on literary goals.

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.
GSTLI Project Proposal
The document discusses place in a first-year critical reading and writing course at Gallaudet University. It provides background on the course, including its student learning outcomes and demographics of the diverse and linguistically varied students. Research is presented on definitions of place and how classroom climate, community, and blogging can impact student learning and engagement. Evidence is given of how place is manifested in the course through dynamics of power and authority, students' roles and responsibilities, and using physical and online spaces for specific academic purposes. The goal is to understand how place shapes students' learning experiences.
Community Scale Results
The document summarizes results from the Rovai Classroom Community Scale given to students in a course in Spring 2012. Based on the survey results:
1) Most students felt that their peers in the course cared about each other and that they felt connected to others. However, about a third felt neutral about these feelings.
2) Students felt they received timely feedback and were encouraged to ask questions. However, some felt reluctant to speak openly or that their educational needs were not fully being met.
3) Overall, the results indicate moderate to high feelings of community and support among students, though some felt isolated or uncertain about their peers. Learning outcomes were also mixed, with most feeling they had opportunities to
Name Story Assignment
This document provides instructions for an assignment asking students to write and present a 3-5 minute story about the origins and meaning of their own name. It outlines the requirements that the presentation must include a visual aid, the submission of a written name story, and notes made while researching the name using family sources or artwork. A sample name story is given explaining some possible origins and meanings that could be explored such as cultural or family history influences on naming traditions.

IRA SIG Deaf HH newsletter 2012
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.

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.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
