Topic 6. How I Will Support My Students’ Efforts to Participate and Persevere My original paper is below, please look into my paper and answer the questions below, ( so it will look like my work), then you will add on to the answers found in my paper. •How will I speak with and interact with my students? •How will I make sure students know what they are expected to do? •What types of activities will I emphasize in teaching? •How will I engage students actively when I am providing instruction? •How will I monitor and help students when they are doing independent work? •How will I use my personal charisma to influence behavior? •How will I use my body language to influence behavior? •How will I influence students to do high-quality work?     How I Will Support My Students’ Efforts to Participate and Persevere ·         How I will speak with and interact with my students Teachers and instructors are responsible for making decisions and facilitating interaction between them and students. Educators at different places are all involved in the interactions with their students.  The interactions differ concerning the type of communication built. I will improve communication with my students by providing emotional support, which refers to how educators can develop a warm environment, support the students, and make them feel comfortable while in the classroom.            Organization in the classroom, organizing the classroom will enable students to get the most out of the learning day. This medium involves how teachers actively engage students in classroom interaction and maximizing learning opportunities. The educators can also achieve positive interactions with students by giving back feedback to students and supporting them in using language. ·         How will I make sure students know what they are expected to do?            I will post expectations on the first day.  Students need to be informed of what is expected of them academically, and socially. Classroom rules will be posted, and students will be informed of target grades.  Achievement contracts can also be designed for each student, highlighting what the student promises to deliver. The Achievement contract will help students focus on their coursework because they now know what targets they have to meet.            Leadership, little can happen in the classroom without leadership. If teachers allow the classroom to be interrupted regularly, this will become the norm, and the classroom will deteriorate.  I will assert leadership as soon as possible. Teachers should exercise authority and avoid being friends with a student. Befriending students will lead to unethical behaviors and a lack of discipline. ·         What types of activities will I emphasize in teaching?            Thinking, pairing, and sharing involves setting a problem relating to a given topic then pairing up students. I will give my students enough time to research and come up with a conclusion, then allow them to share their findings with the other groups.  Brainstorming will generate creative ideas and thoughts. The importance of brainstorming is, it allows students to work together and learn from each other. Students will come up with great ideas, and it will improve their learning skills. I will allow students to debate about a topic. The students should be able to defend their opposing points. Debating encourages them to understand the point of view of others and their own. Critical thinking, students will be involved in activities that allow them to think rationally. It will enable them to discern links between different ideas (Radulovi?, & Stan?i? 2017). They will be able to know the importance of ideas and facts.        ·         How will I engage students actively when I am providing instruction? Instructors can engage students actively by connecting what they are teaching to real-life situations.  The interests of students should be recruited in the learning process, allowing them to understand the lesson.  Learning should be made to feel authentic, relevant, and valuable. Using daily examples. The easiest way to engage students actively is by using practical examples of everyday life, for example, applying a math concept to manage finances and relating biology with daily nutrition. I will allow the students to have choices. Concentration and engagement will increase when students are allowed to be autonomous in learning. They can be allowed to dictate the pace by giving them the freedom to choose a starting point. For example, in a chemistry class, students could be allowed to solve the problem from the easiest one to the most complicated. ·         How will I monitor and help students when they are doing independent work? Monitoring seatwork. Researchers compare students’ performance by evaluating the teachers who did class monitoring, and those who did not students of teachers who monitored their work had a better understanding. Monitoring involves supervising the student, giving guidance, and solving difficult course work (Xerri, Radford, & Shacklock, 2018). Frequent interaction with the students will also increase the trust of the students in their teachers. I will monitor homework. Teachers can liaise with parents to ensure that the assignments given are completed. Homework yields positive results if the task is related to the course work. The lesson given by the teacher is the ability of the students. I will make sure my students understand the homework assigned. Implementing classroom review can be done daily, weekly, or monthly. Reviewing the class work with the students will enable them to understand their strengths and weaknesses accordingly. ·         How will I use my personal charisma to influence behavior? The charisma of a teacher is essential to the students learning. If students do like their teacher, they will not attend the teacher’s class. When the students enjoy the course, they will quickly understand the subject, positively impacting their performance. I will prioritize the building of a positive relationship with my students. The relationship becomes dynamic, and it requires a lot of effort for the teacher to build a personal relationship with the students. Charismatic teachers have empathy for their students. Empathy usually shows the emotional intelligence of a person. Empathy is one of the elements that a charismatic teacher should possess. Teachers should try to put themselves in the students’ shoes and to understand their perspective. ·         How will I use my body language to influence behavior? Incorporation of words and body language will make the message sink deep. The use of body language achieves effective communication. Maintaining eye contact is one-way teachers can influence their students’ actions (Frunza, 2018). Students will pay close attention when they notice you are speaking directly to them. Using gestures and being expressive will inspire students to be engaged in class. Creating a warm environment will result in excellent teaching; thus, students will produce high-quality work. Speaking to students expressively while encouraging them to believe in themselves will be significant in improving their grades. Besides, revisiting old classwork is essential to identify the areas; students are excellent and need improvement. I will follow up by giving feedback and analyzing the topics they did not grasp.  Combining the above processes will enable teachers to produce the best students. ·         How will I influence students to do high-quality work? Excellent teaching involves getting high-quality work from students. First, the students have to be encouraged to believe in themselves and their abilities. High-quality can be achieved if teachers visit students’ old work routinely. It will help identify gaps and improve where necessary. Students should be given feedback regarding their performance. This means giving back the right feedback that will enable them to improve their grades. Lastly, high quality in students can be achieved by breaking complicated course work into small bits.   References Frunz?, S. (2018). OUR DAILY BODY AND ITS INSTRUMENTAL ROLE IN COMMUNICATION.

SOCI-101 Guidelines for the Sociological Autobiography Assignment   Below are the guidelines for the application paper (Sociological Autobiography) that you are required to complete for this course   PAPER FORMAT Length: 1200-1800 words Spacing: single   PLAGIARISM Plagiarism of any kind will not be tolerated. This means that you must submit your own work in your own words. Quotes taken from other authors must be quoted and cited correctly. The penalties for plagiarism are outlined in the Student in the HCC Student Handbook  (Links to an external site.) , and will be enforced to the fullest extent.   HOW TO WRITE YOUR PAPER “Neither the life of an individual nor the history of a society can be understood without understanding both…. No social study that does not come back to the problems of biography, of history and of their intersections within a society has completed its intellectual journey…. The sociological imagination enables us to grasp history and biography and the relations between the two in society…. For that imagination is the capacity to shift from one perspective to another— from the political to the psychological; from examination of a single family to comparative assessments of the national budgets of the world; from the theological school to the military establishment; from considerations of an oil industry to studies of contemporary poetry. It is the capacity to range from the most impersonal and remote transformations to the most intimate features of the human self— and to see the relations between the two.” — C. Wright Mills. This assignment asks you to write an autobiographical essay describing the intersection between your biography and the historical times in which you live using your “sociological imagination” as discussed in C. Wright Mills’ essay “The Promise” (click link here ). What sociological factors have shaped your life so far? Your goal is to demonstrate your sociological understanding through an application of the sociological imagination to an analysis of your life. The key to showing a sociological understanding is to connect your personal experiences, behaviors, and attitudes to the larger social structure. For example, think about your cultural background, socialization, race, ethnicity, class, gender or sexual orientation. How have any of these factors, or the intersection of any of them, given you advantages or disadvantages throughout life? Write your autobiography detailing the following: Identify and consider two or more social forces explored over the course of the semester that have had a significant impact on your life, for example: Birth, location   (LOCATION PAKISTAN, Islamabad) Family structure  (TRADITIONAL) Racial/Ethnic/Cultural Background  (ASIAN) Social class/education/work history (SOCIAL CLASS= upper class) Identify and highlight two historical events that have had a significant impact on your life; explain why you are identifying these social and historical forces, and not some others, as the most significant to shaping your life; analyze and evaluation how the social and historical forces you have identified have shaped your sociological autobiography, and apply them to an analysis of your life. Make sure to use sociological concepts and theories throughout your paper, and highlight sociological terms that connect to your life story.   So….Where do I start? Ask yourself how you got to be the person you are today-now look at it from a sociological view. Wright Mills defined sociological imagination as “the awareness of the relationship between personal experience and the wider society”. How can you now analyze your personal life in relationship to society? In other words, how did society shape you into who you are today?   The trick to writing a sociological autobiography is to consider your individual life experiences from a wider perspective. For this paper you are relating how your life and choices are influenced by the times in which you live, and the society you were raised in.  Analyze how your culture, race, religion, gender, class, and the like have impacted events in your life and how you might be a part of a larger sociological movement or society. Usually the more concepts/terminology included (which should be highlighted or underlined) used in your paper the better the grade. But don’t just throw terms in there.  You should integrate sociology terms, concepts and theory as it relates to the areas you focus on in your life.    Below are excerpts from various sociological autobiographies. They should give you an idea of how to incorporate sociological concepts into an analysis of your life.      Sample Intro: Two major points of study that make up sociology are the distinction of microsociology and macrosociology. These two areas can encompass the difference between an individual’s history and biography, and how these two intersect. I want to take a deeper look into the factors that have influenced my life and made me into the person that I am today. Utilizing a sociological imagination allows me to explore the influence caused by my individual interactions, as well as the effects of social structures on my life. Utilizing my sociological imagination, I will explore the intertwined influences of self and society on my decisions and actions through my life. Sample 1 …As many of you probably already guessed, the girl I’m speaking about is me. And looking back on my life I can see many sociological concepts at work although at the time I thought it was something else. To begin with, look at the first thoughts that came to my mother’s mind when I was born. What occupations did she immediately think of while holding me, a baby girl? She thought of careers that society has taught us to classify as feminine, a woman’s place. If I had been a boy would she be wondering if I would be a ballerina, nurse, or teacher? Most likely not, instead she’d be thinking of occupations such as a lawyer, doctor, basketball player, or economist. Why is this? Because American society has created a standard of what is acceptable for men and women. They’ve come up with specific roles and statuses that are considered masculine or feminine, for one to deviate from those socially accepted norms results in people raising their eyebrows and most likely more obstacles for one to face. Following along with the trend for little girls, I was put in ballet classes at the age of four. But why was ballet the sport for me to play? Why didn’t my parents start me off in soccer or baseball? The answer is simple when the concept of gender role socialization is considered. I was being raised and taught to be a girl, and in the society that I was growing up in little girls did ballet, not baseball. And sure enough, my class was made up entirely of girls, as little boys aren’t “supposed” to do ballet. As I got older and continued to dance it became clearer that dance was a girls’ sport, not only were there no boys in my class, but if a boy even thought about taking dance he was picked on, and called a sissy girl. The reason for this clearly is gender socialization. Boys and girls are growing up being taught what is masculine and what is feminine, what they can be/play/wear/etc., and what they can’t. For example, all of my clothes had pink in them, but my boy cousin’s were all blue. My bathing suit was pink with ruffles where my cousin’s was blue and green. I played with baby dolls and Barbies while my cousin played with guns and cars. From the earliest of ages society has shaped our minds of what defines masculinity and femininity.

Case Analysis Format Read and understand the case or question assigned. Show your Analysis and Reasoning and make it clear you understand the material. Be sure to incorporate the legal concepts of the chapter we are studying to show your reasoning. Dedicate at least one heading to each following outline topic: Parties [Identify the plaintiff and the defendant] Facts [Summarize only those facts critical to the outcome of the case] Procedure [Who brought the appeal? What was the outcome in the lower court(s)?] Issue [Note the central question or questions on which the case turns] Explain the applicable law(s). Use the textbook here. The law should come from the same chapter as the case. Be sure to use citations from the textbook including page numbers. Holding [How did the court resolve the issue(s)? Who won?] Reasoning [Explain the logic that supported the court’s decision]  Conclusion:  Each of these cases has a court ruling. Do you agree with the court’s decision (why or why not?). From a Christian prospective, how does this decision impact Christianity and society? If the impact is negative, what recommendations would you make to overcome that impact? Do significant research outside of the book and demonstrate that you have in a very obvious way. This refers to research beyond the legal research. This involves something about the parties or other interesting related area. Show something you have discovered about the case, parties or other important element from your own research. Be sure this is obvious and adds value beyond the legal reasoning of the case. Dedicate a  paragraph or 2 to each of the case question(s) immediately following the case, if there are any. Be sure to state and fully answer the questions in the assignment description. Quality in terms of substance, form, grammar and context. Be entertaining! Use graphs and tables to emphasize or enhance the case if you like. Wrap up with a Conclusion at the end of the Case Analysis. This should summarize the key aspects of the decision and also your recommendations on the court’s ruling. Include citations on the slides and a reference slide with your sources. Use APA style citations and references. Please follow the Case Analysis Format for each case.

2020 a year that we will be happy to be over but one we will not forget. For most of us, living through a global pandemic, such asCovid -19, is a a first. It has brought challenges and opportunities, financial woes, but for some, financial gains. It has united families and torn them apart (over 250,000 Americans have died, almost 1,353,000 million world wide). Mental health issues, excessive alcohol use and weight gain have also been byproducts. 50 years from now you will be telling this story to your grandkids!

Read all the questions first. It’s all or nothing here. Answer each bullet point in a separate paragraph. Incomplete journals will not be given credit. Submit this by December 5th. What were your initial thoughts and feelings about Covid? Were you concerned? Skeptical? What are your feelings now? How has the virus disrupted your daily life? What are you missing? School, sports, competitions, extracurricular activities, social plans, vacations or anything else? What effect has this crisis had on your own mental and emotional health? What changes, big or small, are you noticing in the world around you? These should be good and bad. How have you and your family been impacted financially (or not)?
