For the week of Finals you will have a video presentation for your Conclusion:
What are ways you can advocate for young children with varying diversities fairly in Observation and Assessment? (6d). How would you communicate this learning to someone, using the Language of Visual Arts? Create a representation (with a photo) with a “story” to explain it. Be creative!! (6a, AWL). Remember “Varying Diversities” is CLAD: Cultural, Language, Ability Diversity. These are children who may or may not have special needs, come from the non-dominant culture, or speak another native language. These children are at a disadvantage when it comes to observation and assessment-so how will YOU advocate for best practices with these children?
The Language of Visual Arts could be a myriad of things: colored picture, collage, photograph, computer generated item, or video (when video-taping you could do a song, poem, free thought, word association).
Your presentation should only be about 5 minutes in length.

I would like for you to pick a topic to research. In order to get going on your project you need to have your topic approved by me first. Below is what you are asked to do. If you have any questions, comments, or concerns email me and come see me in office hours. All you need for this assignment is the topic you would like to research and use for your project.
You will be asked to research anything you would like as it relates to the course materials. There are many hot button topics surrounding technology, philosophy, and ethics as it relates to film, art, music, education, etc. You will pick a topic that interests you and explain the current concern. What are people saying about your topic and is it something we (as a society) should have pause for concern? You can write a traditional paper, make a PowerPoint presentation, record a podcast (alone or with your peers), record a voice note, record a video, etc. You do not need to stick to a rigid paper setting if you do not want to. I want you to think about the importance of the topics in class and connect them with other things in the world!

The main assignment in this module is an essay on gender bias—which you should email to me. 
Gone Girl (2014) 
partial plot summary from Wikipedia: 
On the day of his fifth wedding anniversary, Nick Dunne returns home to find that his wife Amy is missing. Her disappearance receives heavy press coverage, as Amy was the inspiration for her parents’ popular Amazing Amy children’s books. Suspicions arise that Nick murdered her, and his awkward behavior is interpreted by the media as characteristic of a sociopath. 
Flashbacks reveal that Nick and Amy’s marriage has disintegrated; both lost their jobs in the recession and moved from New York City to Missouri. Nick has become lazy, distant, uninterested, and unfaithful. Detective Rhonda Boney uncovers evidence of financial troubles and domestic disputes, a report indicating that Amy wanted to purchase a gun, and poorly concealed evidence of a struggle. She also finds a medical report indicating that Amy is pregnant, of which Nick denies knowledge. 
Amy, after discovering his affair, planned to frame Nick for her murder by ingratiating herself into local life, faking a pregnancy, and fabricating a diary describing her fear of him. [….] Amy has changed her appearance and name and is hiding in a distant campground, believing Nick will be convicted and executed for her murder, and contemplating committing suicide after his conviction […].

Gender Bias essay 
Discuss whether or not you find gender bias in the readings: 
**** “I Want a Wife,” (essay) by Judy Syfers,
****”Shiloh,” by Bobbie Ann Mason,”
“The Story of an Hour,” by Kate Chopin,  “A Rose for Emily,” by William Faulkner, and “The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber,” and the film Gone Girl written by Gillian Flynn (female writer) and directed by David Fincher (male director).  
PLEASE NOTE: All the readings’ titles need quote marks. (The first one is an essay, and all the other readings are short stories.) The film needs underlining or italics. 
Examine each story separately, naming the author and two or three characters in each text to prove your point. As with any essay, there should be an original title and very importantly, an introduction with a thesis, and a conclusion. Thus, with six texts and the intro and conclusion, this essay should have eight short paragraphs.  
Explain whether or not there is gender bias, usually interpreted as male writers favoring their male characters, and female writers favoring their female characters, which implies criticizing the opposite sex. 
Please use transitionals to go from one paragraph to another. 
Your thesis and your conclusion should generalize that, yes or no, there is or is not bias–or only some writers show bias. 
Remember, only the film title needs underlining or italics. The readings’ titles, all short, require quotation marks. 
A thesis is a main point sentence within your first paragraph. It usually occurs near the end of the introduction. (Please see the separate attachment to understand this concept better.)

Prompt:
This response paper is designed to build your intuition and ability to dig deeper into what you are reading and unpack the hidden layers of meaning that would lay unnoticed in a quick, cursory reading.
Your goal here is not to paraphrase the poem; it’s to unpack as much meaning as possible from it and to show what it is saying beyond the surface level. Assume that your reader has read the poem and is familiar with the content. This is an exercise in looking at a small section as closely as possible. This is a skill that you want to hone in order to better understand and critically analyze texts in general—not just literature.
Sources:
If outside sources are used, cite using MLA style.
No AI use or generated text. Provide a TurnItIn report to prove this.
