Effective teaching begins with understanding your students: how they learn, their background and issues that they might face. In the course, TCR 300 Meet Your Students, you were introduced to twenty-four students who are representative of the students in Texas. Several of these students have significant academic issues and/or emotional issues that may impact their performance. This performance-based assessment requires you to identify and research the societal or cultural issues that are faced by four of these students and how they impact their achievement.
Using PowerPoint or Google Slides, you are to create a presentation appropriate for use with other educators or parents. In this presentation you are to do the following:
You will suggest supports teachers can use in the classroom to mitigate the impacts of the issue.
Your presentation should be at least 11 slides long. You are expected to have an introductory slide, two slides per student,a closing slide, and a resource/bibliography page for the sources you use in the project.
The presentation must be your original work, and professional in its use of images, language and formatting. Use of another’s work will earn an automatic zero and may be grounds for dismissal from the program.
All of us have been assigned on a team in order to solve a problem, perform an extra duty of some kind or to attend a special school with others. State which type of team (based on Table 2.2 in our chapter reading) you were on (project, work, matrix, parallel, etc.) and explain why it is that type. Think about a time when you were in this team situation and discuss the stages your team progressed through.
Use either Bion’s four possible pitfalls that need to be worked through in groups and teams or use the Tuckman model which outlines stages we move through during team change.

At least 5 pages not counting Works Cited/Reference or Title pages. Double spaced with sources cited in the body of the paper as well as in the Works Cited page. Length, grammar/spelling/sentence structure, content, sources, and most importantly, creative/analytical thinking, will determine grade.
Research a specific public policy issue that you think is very important for today’s American National Government to address and discuss background, pros and cons, etc. while backing up any of your own arguments with strong evidence.
Throughout this course, you have written essays and participated in discussion forums in an effort to analyze various elements of film, using different theoretical lenses. Considering that this is the final writing assignment, you will want to review all previous class materials, including all chapters read and discussion board responses.
You are encouraged to incorporate writing from your Week 2 and Week 3 assignments only after you have reflected on your instructor’s feedback and revised the relevant parts of the essays accordingly. Additionally, refer to the outline template in the Week 4 assignment. As you are incorporating your previous work, be sure to consider the broader requirements and context of this assignment, especially regarding film as a medium of social commentary. Do not simply cut and paste material but rather use it as a building block to construct a new paper addressing this prompt’s requirements.
This final film critique is your opportunity to combine the previously addressed elements from Weeks’ 2 and 3 papers into analyzing one film and how it might influence society or shine a light on a social issue.
