Instructions for researching South Carolina

This “book” will guide you through the steps for researching and preparing your presentation on the state of South Carolina. Each “page” in the book contains links to specific information you will need to answer questions on each topic listed below (numbers 2 through 8). You will then submit your final presentation in the next “assignment” module in the course.

Instructions for creating a presentation about South Carolina

1. Create a cover page with the name of your state and its emblem or flag. Include your name and course.
2. Prepare two slides about how the state of South Carolina is unique.
3. Prepare two slides about the South Carolina’s minimum wage and texting-while-driving law.

Part 1: Communicating the Learning Objectives Chart

Observe a grade level K-8 classroom during classroom instruction. During your observations, take detailed notes and identify the learning objectives and academic standards:

• The method the teacher uses to communicate the learning objectives.
• How the teacher creates engagement.
• How the students are motivated to take ownership of the identified objectives.
• The layout of the classroom.
• Student engagement in the environment.

After classroom instruction and observation, engage in a dialogue about the learning objective with three students to determine, in their own words, the:

• What (what the students are learning).
• Why (why they are learning this).
• How (how they are going to know if they have learned it).

Using the “Communicating the Learning Objectives” chart, analyze the effectiveness of communicating the learning objectives and creating an environment of learning by your mentor teacher. Base this analysis on your observations and dialogue with students.  

Use any remaining field experience hours to speak with your mentor teacher and, provided permission, seek out opportunities to observe and/or assist your mentor teacher and/or work with a small group of students on instruction in the classroom.

Part 2: Learning Objectives Summary

Following your observations, write a 250-500 word reflection identifying how your mentor teacher used best practices to communicate learning objectives to students and encourage student independence. Include a summary of the dialogue with the students in the class about their understanding of the learning objective.

Your reflection should include:

• Why the correlation between how the teacher communicates the learning objectives establishes a climate of learning for students.
• Evidence from observations that the teacher created an environment of learning through an effective way of communicating the learning objectives, and if not, why this component is important.
• Why it is important to create engagement and motivation during instruction.
• Why engagement in the lesson fosters ownership of learning.

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

I am taking a Political Ideology class and we are studying Welfare Liberalism and Libertarianism this week. The lecture spoke of negative freedoms and positive freedoms, and the text quickly references them. I think a government tool that reflects a negative freedom would be the right to a jury trial since that is a law put in place to combat discrimination. Conversely, I would think an example of a positive freedom would the right to vote. It helps to ensure that all people can lead a more fulfilled, meaningful life.

But are there any more recent examples of this? Obamacare a positive freedom and maybe the Civil Rights Act a negative one? I just want to make sure I can understand and apply the concepts.

Thank you for your help and comments!

In one or two sentences EACH, provide an explanation that would help someone unfamiliar with the concepts understand the fundamental tenets and position of the following, and support your comments:

• Humanistic Psychology
• Existential Psychology
• Transpersonal Psychology
