**## Article4.docx**
Search for and summarize an article that suggests effective strategies for differentiating instruction for a specific content area/skill in a specific elementary grade. 2nd grade
When typing an Article Review, follow this format and include the bolded headings:
1.
**List the bibliography at the top.** Use APA format. If you do not have the APA manual (6th edition), you would be wise to get one as you will use this format throughout your work here at DSU. You can also find this information on-line, but be warned that the manual itself is over 400 pages long. The Purdue University Online Writing Lab link on the Syllabs page is a helpful source for APA format. It is your responsibility to locate and use the reference style information.
2.
**Summarize the article information.** Type it in 12 font, Times New Roman, and double-spaced.
**_Your summary should not be over 1 1/2 pages long_**. It is important to
_summarize_ and not restate the entire article. I prefer you to not use quotes unless it is absolutely necessary to get your point across. If you use direct wording from the article, enclose them in quotation marks and add page numbers (see APA format resources).
3.
**Reflect on how the information can benefit your teaching practices.** **_Your reflection should not be over 1 page long._** Your reflection should not be a repeat of the summary or the actual article content. Instead, it should reflect insights into the information as it applies to effective instruction. Include specific examples of how you can use the information to influence your instructional practices.
**## Chapter4and5reflection.docx**
This week, you should write a reflection responding to the topic: "Gender Inequality & Sexual Orientation."
You should demonstrate what you have learned about gender inequality and sexual orientation from these chapters, discuss your response to the reading, and pose any questions or critiques.
You should draw from all the readings – including the chapters, the article, and the lecture – in your reflection this week.
Reflections should be 700 words, give or take, and key components of your reflections should:
Note essential concepts, theories, and overarching trends from the readings.
Organize your reflection around themes found within the readings and any additional resources.
Reflect on the material and what you learned.
What are your thoughts about the topic?
Relate the material (using terms and concepts accurately) to your personal life or a real-life example.
Discuss any questions you might still have concerning the topic or provide a critique.
Discuss anything you found confusing or that you do not understand.
If you thought the readings did not address an essential aspect of the topic, you can discuss that here, too.
Always provide support! You should cite from the reading(s) and any outside sources throughout your reflection.
While opinions are welcome, as graduate students, you should always be ready to show support beyond yourself for any statement you make.
"Anyone can say anything, but can you support it?"
When reflecting and relating the material to your life or a real-life example, I will assess how accurately you use the terms – not your opinions. Opinions cannot be graded, but whether you provide support for your opinions and how accurately you use and apply the terms and concepts can.
Reflections should not summarize the reading, and you do not need to address all the material/concepts in the chapter. The goal is for you to think critically about and apply the material (see the first bullet).

Case Analysis Research Paper
Background Information: An integral component of this course is its advocacy for the need to establish a classroom climate and plan instruction in a manner that invites all learners, respectful of their diverse needs. Diversity issues may range from cultural, ethnic, racial and gender issues to a multitude of descriptors related to learning style and ability, socioeconomic status, and language. Throughout this course, we have discussed learning theory and teaching strategies which should enable you to build and maintain a classroom climate in which all students can be successful and to ensure that students’ respective needs are met through the use of a variety of scientifically sound teaching practices. Grouping practices, allowing choice, extending understanding and respect of cultures and ethnicity, conferencing with teachers and parents to gain an understanding of children- all reveal a teacher’s desire to meet the needs of diverse learners. It would not be possible to list all of the ways in which learners differ in their approaches to learning. It is the teacher’s role, rather, to know and understand each student so that he or she can plan for the teaching/learning relationships in the classroom.
Task: Submit at least a five-page, typed (double-spaced; 12 font) case analysis research paper describing the diversity issues represented in the classroom you teach or most recently taught. Your paper will have 3 sections.
**Section I:** In the first section, describe the contextual factors impacting the class, how you determined the diverse needs of the children, how you planned your lessons based on these needs, and describe to what degree you felt the teaching strategies you employed were successful. Provide specific examples, relating each to the strand of diversity it represents and a specific strategy you used to address this form of diversity. For example, you may have selected a piece of literature that you knew a particular child or group of children would relate to in an effort to engage all of the learners.
**Section II**: In the second section, summarize the current research involving the diverse needs you encountered. For example, if you have ELLs, your research should include best practices for teaching ELLs. If you have students identified as needing Tier 2 interventions in reading, your research must include evidence-based practices for RtI. You must use no less than 5 current resources – nothing published before the year 2000. You are strongly encouraged to use the What Works Clearinghouse website for lists of research on evidence-based teaching practices (
[https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/\
Links to an external site.](https://ies.ed.gov/ncee/wwc/) ), ERIC, and the DSU library databases. Use in-text citations to cite your sources and include a reference list at the end of the paper.
**Section III:** In the third section, reflect on whether or not your practices were congruent with the research and discuss how your future practices will reflect the current research on effective methods for teaching diverse students.
