If there’s some parts that you absolutely can’t find a source for, just frame it as a question or inquiry that will be later on investigated.

Planning Writing Lessons
Select one of the three primary genres in the NC ELA SCOS for writing (narrative, informative, opinion). You will write three connected mini-lesson plans for subsequent lessons focused on that genre. Your lessons may focus on one writing trait/craft element, or a series of three different traits/craft elements. Your mini-lessons should support students to work through parts of the writing process on a single piece of work in your chosen genre.
Use the “Writing Mini-lesson Template” to design each of your mini-lessons. You should complete all sections in this template.
Your lessons should clearly build upon each other as they guide students through subsequent steps of the writing process on their genre piece (e.g. drafting, editing, and revising an opinion piece), and/or go deeply on writing traits within that genre piece (e.g. teaching three strategies for creating vivid, varied sentences in an informative piece). You must include any necessary resources (using APA formatting) or teaching materials noted in your lesson, such as titles and authors of mentor texts you will incorporate into your lessons, examples of graphic organizers you will introduce to students for planning their writing, or samples of your own writing you will use to model editing.

Problem Statement, Advocacy Plan, and Commentary (20 points)
~6 pages, typewritten, double-spaced, 12 point type, standard margins, APA guidelines for use of citations
Advocacy topic : lack of resources in early childhood classrooms 
A. Statement of the problem: Write 2-3 paragraphs defining and describing the advocacy issue in the context of early childhood education. Discuss how the early childhood advocacy issue affects children and families in New York City, if possible. Be sure to address the following:
What is the specific problem/concern?
Who is affected by the issue?
How are children, families and the community being affected?
Why does the issue need to be addressed now?
Where is the problem the greatest?
When is intervention needed to avoid negative consequences?
What intervention is needed?
Who is your target audience (who are you trying to influence/get to take
action about the issue) and why they are in a position to help?
B. Research Source Summaries: Provide summaries of three relevant research sources (See Summary Writing Handout for the format for creating a research summary). Your research sources should come from education journals (accessed through library databases), newspapers (from The New York Times, Daily News, New York Post, Education Week), Radio reports (NPR) or Blog Posts (e.g. Diane Ravich’s blog). At least one of your three sources must be from an educational journal that you access through the BMCC library (https://www.bmcc.cuny.edu/library/). All of your sources must be cited properly using APA formatting for references and in-text citations (see APA handouts provided). Each research source summary should be a minimum of 3 paragraphs long. In each summary, be sure to address the following:
Paragraph 1:
Start with an introductory sentence that states the author name(s), the year of publication (in parentheses), the name of the article, and the main topic of the piece. Write several sentences that elaborate on the main issue the article is addressing. Conclude this paragraph by explaining what the purpose of this article is: To inform? To call to action?
Paragraph 2:
Write several sentences that document what evidence (for example, data from research, strategies the authors share…) the article provides to make the main points.
Paragraph 3:
Conclude by writing several sentences that describe what advocacy and action are suggested by this article in order to address these issues.
C. Small advocacy action: Write one paragraph explaining what type of advocacy and action is needed by you to bring your issue to the attention of the target audience.
Large advocacy action: Write 2 paragraphs about reasonable action that could be taken by the target audience to address the issue. Realistically, outline a plan for what can/should be done to fix the problem. In addition, explain how different stakeholders (teachers, school leaders, parents, children, other community members) could be affected and/or play a role.
Commentary: Write a concluding paragraph about why you choose this issue to advocate for. Why is this issue personally meaningful to you? How does this topic impact you as an early childhood educator?

The employment package is comprised of two parts: the resume and the application letter.   This page describes the application letter assignment. 
Using the job ad you’ve found, you should write an application letter for the position described in the ad.  Your letter should apply the concepts in the assigned reading and the lecture notes.  Your letter should be organized effectively and developed to persuade a reader that you are qualified for the position.  An effective letter will connect the writer’s skills and qualifications to the company’s needs and demonstrate some research or understanding of the company.   As you develop the letter, you should consider you-attitude, positive emphasis, and reader benefits carefully.  In terms of format, you should use the block format and choose a standard font face and size.
Finally, please include a copy of the job ad with your letter. If a print source, you can scan the job ad and put the image in a Word document or simply type it into a Word document. If an electronic source, please copy and paste the entire job ad into your Word document. Please do not include only the link to the ad since job ads may not be on the web for very long.  The cover letter may receive a grade-letter deduction if submitted without the job ad as the ad is needed to judge the quality of the development and efforts at audience analysis/accommodation. 
Tip: Please double check the final version of the letter to ensure that it is free from grammar errors and typos. On a resume and cover letter, one error is too many.
