Edit, expand, and improve!QuestionsCompare Carlyle’s “Signs of the Times” (source 18.3) with chapter one of The Communist Manifesto. To what extent do Carlyle and Marx seem to agree about the nature of the problems inherent in the rapid industrialization of 19th century society? How do they disagree?Compare Mayhew’s “London Labour and the London Poor” (sources 18.4) to chapter one of The Communist Manifesto. What was daily life like for working class London according to Mahyew? How would Marx link the experiences Mahyew reports to the broader system of industrial capitalism?Compare Herzl's “The Jewish State” (source 20.6) to chapter one of The Communist Manifesto. How do you think a nationalist like Herzl might criticize Marx’s focus upon class struggle as the most important force in modern society? How might Marx respond to Herzl’s portrayal of anti-semitic attacks on European Jews as a struggle between rival nationalities?Compare 23.1 Winston Churchill, “The Battle of Omdurman,” from The River War (1899) and 23.2 John A. Hobson, “Criticism of Imperialism,” from Imperialism (1902). How does the author describe the differences between the Western conquerors and the inhabitants of the countries which were conquered?Compare 24.3 Ernst Jünger, Storm of Steel (1920) and 24.4 Robert Graves, Goodbye to All That (1929). According to the author, what was the experience of the war like for the soldiers who fought it? What was the attitude displayed toward the ‘enemy?

Procedures creating the chart You will be creating a unit plan for differentiated instruction in oral language development, phonemic awareness/phonics, fluency, vocabulary, writing, spelling, and comprehension. In the left column of the unit plan are headings as to what information must be completed in each part of the unit plan. Using Oral Language as an example use the following directions and examples to help you complete the unit plan in its' entirety. Standard:  For each area you must provide the appropriate standard.  For example a standard for oral language that would be appropriate for a 4th grade student would be: Cluster 2: Knowledge of Language Standard Code Standard LAFS.4.L.2.3 Use knowledge of language and its conventions when writing, speaking, reading, or listening. a. Choose words and phrases to convey ideas precisely. b. Choose punctuation for effect. c. Differentiate between contexts that call for formal English (e.g., presenting ideas) and situations where informal discourse is appropriate (e.g., small-group discussion). Cognitive Complexity: Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning  Name of Strategy:  Using the website provided for you below each area find a strategy that would be appropriate to teach oral language, and write the name of the strategy. Explanation of the Strategy:  Fully explain, in your words, a summary of the strategy--what it addresses and how it works. Lesson Objective (s).  If the strategy selected for oral language was "Relating Words" The student will be able to develop the following question: Would you prefer to budge a sleeping lamb or a ferocious lion? Why? In the case of pounce, sensible, and raucous what two words would you choose, and why? If you get your clothes ready to wear to school before you go to sleep, would that be sensible or raucous ?  Why? If you and your friends were watching a funny TV show together and began to laugh a lot, would you sound pounce or raucous?  Why? How Does the Strategy Support Student Learning?  This strategy helps the student to see whether there is anything about the words that is related.  It encourages students to speak and listen to understand the relationship between words, and that sometimes more than one of the instructed words can be used in a sentence. Materials:  A full list of materials that were used to teach the lesson.  If you are using words, you must list the specific words. ESOL Accommodations:   Select appropriate accommodations using resources provided for you. ESE Accommodations:   Select appropriate accommodations using resources provided for you.

The researched argument is an 8-10 page (2000-2500 words) argument examining an issue you have identified earlier in the course. Unit 3 and earlier weeks of Unit 4 have taken you through many of the preparatory steps for writing this paper. So far you have identified an issue which interests you, completed a working bibliography, developed your position and a claim about your chosen issue, and outlined your argument. Review your previous work and the feedback received from classmates and professor. Please be sure to revise and edit your draft before turning in the final paper.In this assignment you must demonstrate that you have implemented a research plan; used a rhetorically effective method of organization; formulated, developed and supported a claim using sound evidence, reasoning and appropriate appeals; and incorporated alternate positions into a sustained argument.Instructions: In this paper, you will write your argument in response to your chosen topic. Your paper should be based on your ideas; it should not be a summary of what other people say. This is not an informational paper. This paper should develop your argument on your topic. Your paper should clearly identify your issue. It should have a clear claim and well developed reasons. It should use at least 4 appropriately cited quotes, at least 4 appropriately cited paraphrases (you may use more as needed), and a Works Cited page in MLA format.Please note: Your paper must be more than strung together quotes and paraphrases. It should stand on its own without the quotes and paraphrases. At this point you should be working on a draft of your paper.Tip: We often suggest that students first write a draft of the paper without supporting sources to ensure that the paper is well developed and relies primarily on your writing and conclusions. Once you have written a draft, you can go back and add in outside sources to support each of your points. Please make sure this first draft is submitted with all of your evidence and the corresponding in-text citations.Each paragraph should be well developed with controlling ideas and transitions. The logic supporting your argument should be well thought out and sound. There should be a clear flow of ideas throughout your paper.
