Which recent reading(s) has been the most interesting to you? Why? Are there any connections to other readings (in our class or in other classes), or other things you’ve thought about or encountered? What points do you want to remember?
Read the following three case studies. (These are also loaded to the week’s Learning Resources.)
Study 1: Study 1 concerns Watson’s famous Little Albert. Although we all know the story of Little Albert, we may not have read Watson and Rayner’s original 1920’s study. Take into consideration the context and spirit of the times, or Zeitgeist, if you will, when analyzing this study.

Study 2: Study 2 tells the story of Wendell Johnson, or more specifically, Mary Tudor’s study of children in an orphanage in Iowa. It’s called the Monster Study for a reason as you will see.

Study 3: Study 3 concerns Seligman and Maier’s (1967) Learned Helplessness study. Again, reading these original studies enables us to form our own judgments.

The techniques and strategies in collaboration for Inclusion teachers and General Education teachers in the Elementary school
• Identify a key issue your school or agency is facing (different from topics for previous assignments).
• Provide general solutions to the issue based on your knowledge of the issue gained in the course and related reading, research, blogs, chats, etc.
• Connect people to the research. Contact an expert in the area such as a local superintendent, professor, director, author, etc. to gain a perspective related to the issue as it applies to your situation.
• Summarize the process you would use to communicate these recommendations to staff to realize the most effective results in implementing any changes in practice.
• Reflect on your learning experience and write a summative report that includes a synthesis of your experience and any changes you might have experienced in personal or professional attitudes, beliefs and actions because of exploring the issue. In your written discussion include how the solution strategies you proposed could result in a change in practice in your workplace and how that may impact you personally or professionally.

What was it like to be a girl working at the Lowell Mills in the 1830s? Would you have taken this job? Why? What are textile mills like today–and where are they located? What kind of workers are hired to work in textile mills today?
Discuss, in a 500 word essay, specific details in the story which support the idea that de Maupassant's use of irony in his short story The Necklace is critical and disapproving of Mme. Loisel, rather than approving or merely anecdotal. Think through and draw some conclusion as to how de Maupassant's (and O Henry's) use of situational irony can help a reader to contemplate the world around us.
