Holidays

How do you feel about celebrating holidays in school and why? Be sure to give a specific reason, and back up your reasoning. Why or why not celebrate holidays and if you choose to celebrate, which ones would you celebrate and be specific about how you would choose to celebrate these with children.

What have you learned about yourself after completing this assignment? What are the benefits of creating a language and culture portrait with your students?

Assignment

In an effort to shed light and embrace a holistic and dynamic view of bilingualism, design a language and culture portrait as described in Dr. Tian’s “Crafting Translanguaging Spaces” presentation. A language and culture portrait is a visualization of a person’s linguistic and cultural identity that involves (1) identifying the languages/cultures that are part of one’s identity, (2) assigning each language or culture a color, and (3) mapping those colors onto the image of a body silhouette. Colors can be mapped onto the body outline literally or symbolically.

For instance, a student might map “Mandarin” onto their mouth if it is the primary language that they speak (literal mapping). Or, they might map “Spanish” onto their feet to demonstrate that speaking Spanish has enabled them to travel to countries where Spanish is spoken (symbolic mapping).

Summary of a Language and Culture Portrait Assignment Process

Step 1: View Dr. Tian’s “Crafting Translanguaging Spaces”.

Step 2: Make a list of all the languages and cultures that are part of who you are. (Consider languages you don’t speak but that may be an important part of your heritage.)

Step 3: Assign each language and culture a different color.

Step 4: Use a body silhouette (attached) and color the body with the colors that correspond to your languages and cultures based on how you experience them. I.E coloring your hand the language(s) that you write with and coloring your heart a language/culture that connects you to those you love.

Step 5: Include a 1-2 page reflection to share and explain your language and culture portrait.

Consider answering the following:

  • What have you learned about yourself after completing this assignment?
  • What are the benefits of creating a language and culture portrait with your students?
  • How might this activity create a powerful opportunity for culturally and linguistically diverse students to affirm their translanguaging capabilities and multifaceted identities and experiences?

Describe a general approach to the design that addresses your specific goals. What design principles informed by learning theory, will you draw on? What specific type of tool are you designing? Who is the user of the tool?

/in /by

A new assistant gardener apprenticing with a Senior Horticulturist at a larger Botanical Gardens.

Characterise the learning that is occurring. Then, propose the design of a learning tool to aid in addressing this specific learning problem(s).

This will require a description of the design of your learning tool, a discussion of how it is motivated by learning theories, and how it should address your learning problem(s).

In this proposal, you should include the following (not necessarily in this exact order, so do not use this list as an outline):

  • An introduction that lays out the specific learning needs/problems of the apprenticeship. Describe the learning need or problem that your design seeks to address. What are the specifics of the need or problem? What is the context it occurs? How is it currently addressed? What is lacking?

 

  • Discussion of the theoretical underpinning of your design: In order to present a convincing design, your ideas should be grounded in learning theory. Give a theoretically grounded argument that pulls from relevant literature and leads to a specific design question. What does prior research and theory say about your need/problem? Draw on the course material for this, both the higher order theories (e.g. constructivism) and/or the more specific themes (e.g. transfer)

 

  • A specific explanation of the goal of your design: Needs and problems are generally very broad topics. What is the major goal your design needs to accomplish? How will you know if it is successful? This should be motivated by the theory and research you presented.

 

  • A description of your design: Describe a general approach to the design that addresses your specific goals. What design principles informed by learning theory, will you draw on? What specific type of tool are you designing? Who is the user of the tool? How will you structure the resources in that environment to support learning? In your description make sure to explain how the details of the design relate to the theories you presented and address your learning needs and design goal.

 

A conclusion that summarizes your argument: Encapsulate the overall paper and summarize the logic of your arguments. Touch on any obvious limitations to the case you present. Attempt to convince the reader of the overall worth of the approach you chose.

 

Explain the constructive art activity and materials. How would the children engage in the art activity? What modifications would you make to improve the activity?

/in /by

Constructive Art

Constructive art is investigating the child’s world or environment and being creative in the process. Painting with nature such as painting with leaves is an example of constructive art. I have provided a few samples in the Constructive Art folder. The sample ideas may not be used in your constructive art activity. This assignment is not a crafts activity, which is when everyone’s art looks the same.

You will develop an open-ended constructive art activity (prek 3 or for a 4-year-old). The responses to the bullets are to be implemented in your paper. Please do not put bullets in your paper. The simple template is at the end.
