Part 1: Literacy Assessments and Student Reading Profile
In collaboration with your mentor, select two literacy assessments you will administer to a student identified by your mentor. You may select tests available in topic Resources, such as DIBELS or EasyCBM.com, or you may use assessments your mentor provides. You may assess any basic literacy skills or knowledge, including but not limited to, letter names, letter sounds, phoneme segmentation, word reading fluency, oral reading fluency, or reading comprehension. (Each assessment should only take 1-2 minutes to administer.)
After administering the assessments, analyze the assessment data collaboratively with your mentor teacher, and complete the “Student Reading Profile ” template to summarize the data and identify the student’s reading strengths, areas for growth, and reading goals. Use a pseudonym to protect the student’s identity.
Part 2: Reflection
Write a 250-500 word reflection on the following:
Summarize the additional classroom data and information obtained from your mentor.
Identify 2-3 instructional strategies that would support the reading goals identified on the profile.
Explain how the data collected informs the strategies.

Develop a lesson plan aligned to the learning theory and philosophy that best resonates with you.
As you have learned in this course, there are many different perspectives about how students learn. There are also many strategies that educators can use to ensure that effective instruction is implemented and students retain information. It is important that you as an educator are able to effectively implement various strategies; but before implementing, you must understand the underlying philosophies for the strategies you choose.
For this assignment, you will use the three theories:

Write a 1,000 word applying what you have learned about the study of relational communication thus far in the class by doing the following:
After reviewing this topic’s assigned readings, explain the role of self-concept, identity, or self-perception in relationships (think about Goffman’s distinction between “front region” and “back region” or Identity Management Theory). How do these concepts influence communication choices in friend, work, romantic, or family relationships?

What is the role of faith and religious or spiritual identity in relationships? How does it affect communication in relationships?
Use current communication research to support an argument about how new media (i.e., social networking sites/apps) influence identity construction and identity management in the relationships that were discussed in prompt 1 above.

Integrating reading with other content areas like math, science, and/or social studies is a way to show students how the content areas are connected and help students apply reading skills across content areas. Integration often requires the teacher to identify a standard from both content areas and develop a lesson that assesses both standards.

For this assignment, you will examine women’s contributions to the creation of culture in western society through a discussion of three key figures
Women Creating Culture
[WLOs: 1, 2] [CLOs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, review Did Women Have a Renaissance?Links to an external site. and From 1971: Why Have There Been No Great Women Artists?Links to an external site. Also watch The Story of Women and Art: Episode 3Links to an external site..
For this assignment, you will examine women’s contributions to the creation of culture in western society through a discussion of three key figures (artists, poets, writers, dancers, performers, composers, etc.) from our required or recommended resources. In your paper, you will also analyze how western society has shaped these women’s lives and their creativity.
Begin by selecting three key figures from different time periods and different genres who have made artistic contributions to our culture. You may either consider these elements separately as explained below or weave the ideas together as you discuss each of your key figures. Having selected your three key figures, analyze how their creativity made important contributions to culture in their own era and in some cases, how their contributions reverberated to different disciplines and different eras and time periods, perhaps even being felt today. You should provide detailed discussion of examples from their creative work (paintings, poetry, performance, methods of dance, music, etc.) to support your claim on the importance of their contributions. This section must be three to four pages in length.
Next, as you examine how society has shaped these women’s lives and creativity, consider some of the following questions.
How did prescribed gender roles for women impact their creativity?
What images defined women (seductress, mother, virgin, etc.)?
Which images and roles were acceptable and which were outside the norm?
How did these narrowly-defined gender roles and images (such as the “nature of women”) shape the lives and work of your three key figures?
Some women may have outwardly conformed to these expectations while their work challenged the roles/images in subversive and creative ways while others openly rebelled. As you delve deeper into these issues, consider the dynamics of gender and power in creative expression. For example, how does the subject matter in paintings and texts (or performance) reflect the dynamics of gender and power? Who has privilege? Who has power? How do these creative women sometimes deconstruct (break down) dominant male patterns while reconstructing female experience?
As you discuss how society has impacted women’s creativity, remember to consider the significance of race, class, and/or ethnicity of the three key figures. How does the artist’s class, for example, impact both the importance of her contributions and the ways society shaped her life and work? Does her ethnicity or race determine what subjects she writes about or paints or how she performs? Again, provide detailed examples from the creative women’s work (compositions, performances, sculpture, paintings, writings, etc.) to support your discussion (three to four pages).
In Summary, be sure that your Women Creating Culture Paper:
Identifies Three Key Figures from Different Time Periods and Genres, and Discusses Their Artistic Contributions to Culture
Discusses How the Identified Key Figures’ Made Important Creative Contributions to Culture in Their Own Area, and Provides Detailed Illustrations from Their Work
Analyzes How Western Society Has Shaped the Lives and Creativity of the Identified Key Creative Women
Analyzes the Impact of Race, Class, and/or Ethnicity of the Three Identified Key Creative Women’s Lives and Work
