  • “Alias Grace: Unpacking Society’s Construction of Villains and Victims through a Gendered Lens and the Lens of Michel Foucault”

    Please Read carfully Assignment: Select a textual representation of (or influenced by) an aspect of nature, science, or
    technology (e.g., a novel, film, TV episode/series, advertisements, art work, and/or on-line
    videos, images, blogs, comment sections, social media). Drawing on secondary sources to
    contextualize your claim, make an argument about how that text represents the relationship
    between science and society in a complex way and intervene in a scholory converstaion about an aspect of this text in a new and suprising way. My main focal text is Alias Grace the book. I want to somehow discuss how the world looks at people as eithr 
    surviors and victims or villians grace is none she is an example of how social structure creates viallans and vitcams and how the book someone makes us see all the men in her life as some what villaness and all the women as innocnent maybe make a play on gender. use Michel Foucault as a lens and find a scholory debate about one of these aspects and intervene maybe about insanity and lastly make sure you start off by fining a moment in the book that “made you” develop this idea present a with the grain understanding and then an againts the grain understanding that helps you to introduce these ideas maybe even discuss atwood and the bible. Feel free to add anything new you think is really instresting or prensent me with a new idea you might want to write but dont add to many aspects about I will paste examples of this kind of essay below (enlightneing dracula the one i like best i put an example of the intro and evidence) the rest are ok examples try to use enlighteing dracual as a good example to mirror not exactly but almost like a guide. Thank You

  • Oral Language Development and its Impact on Learning to Read

    Science has established the relationship between oral language skills and learning to read. In other words, you need to know how to talk and use oral language in order to learn to read.  Oral language acquisition establishes the foundation for the future development of reading skills.  A written language can not exist without an oral language.  However, oral languages can exist without a written version of that language.  Students gain knowledge and skills in written expression of English (which includes reading and writing) based on their oral language repertoire. Therefore, oral language abilities seem to have an impact on the success of an individual’s ability to learn to read. This connection is so critical, that knowledge of how oral language develops in young children, makes a difference in the pedagogical choices teachers make when teaching reading. Read the following articles to help you gain a deeper understanding of Oral Language Development and its role in learning to read: What Is Oral Language_ Understanding Its Components and Impact on Reading Instruction _ Lexia Learning.pdf
