Assignment for September 25

Hafa adai Readers!
I hope you had a relaxing weekend :) Again, I apologize for having to cancel class. I do hope you were able to use this time to start with some of your class projects.

For next Saturday, the first half of the class will be a presentation and analysis on picture books. Please bring 3-5 picture books of your choice. Reading chapters 2, 3, and 12 would also make this task go smoothly. The other half of the class will be on appropriate graphic organizers to extend comprehension.

If you were suppose to present a book talk or read aloud, we will make it a point to squeeze in those presentations that day.

See you soon!
Ms. Kathy

P.S Please send me an email of your reflection on Freedom Writers before Friday.

“Educators today, … agree that all students benefit from opportunities to read and respond to a wide variety of literature.  Yes, contrary to popular belief, older students can and do learn from picture books!”

Use the following tips during your presentation...

• Speakers intro must get audiences attention

• Demonstrate enthusiasm for the books
• Tell enough to be interesting without giving the story away
• Use a conclusion that makes us want to read the book

It may include book elements that...

• Made you laugh
• Made you angry
• Made you cry
• Made you think about things that happened to you
• Made you think about things you never thought about
• Made you say “Wow!”

The following questions could be used as guidelines to help a student prepare for his/her book talk:

FICTION

• Why did you choose this book?
• How did this book make you feel?
• Tell about something that happened or somebody in the book that reminded you of your own life.
• What was your favorite or least favorite part in the book and why?
• What questions would you like to ask the main character?

NONFICTION

• Why did you choose this book?
• What were the most memorable things you learned while reading this book?
• What did the author include that helped you understand the topic or information?
• What did you learn as a result of reading this book?
• What questions do you still have after reading this book?

    Suggestions for students to make your book talks even more fun:

• Read a favorite passage from your book (less than one minute).
• Show and tell about the cover of the book
• Tell a little about the author
• Talk about other books by this author
• Mention other books that remind you of this one
• Show pictures, photographs or diagrams from your book

Attendance- Attendance is a major part of your grade and will be taken at each session.  As these classes are activity-based, you need to be present in order to learn and help your fellow classmates gain teaching experience. 

Participation is not just sitting in class.  Participation involves a combination of attendance, appropriate discussion, evidence of readings in discussion, completion of assignments on time, active listening, working in collaboration with colleagues, active engagement and contribution, and leadership behaviors.   It is also important that you arrive on time - lateness will result in loss of attendance points.

Students who miss a class should report to their instructor upon their return and consult with a class member to inquire about course notes and assignments.   Students who know in advance that they will miss class should inform their instructor prior to the absence, in order to be given upcoming assignments.  Absence from more than 10% of scheduled classes and practicum experiences may be considered grounds for a failing grade in the course.  Students are responsible for obtaining class notes and handouts that may have been distributed. 

Concerns or Dissatisfaction

If at any time, you have a problem or concern with the instructor or you believe something is unfair, discuss this immediately with the instructor.  If you continue to feel you have not arrived at a satisfactory solution, please take your concerns to the Director of the School of Education.  If you are still dissatisfied, it is then appropriate to go to the Dean for Academic Programs and Services.

Statement of Disability

The Northern Marianas College (NMC) is committed to ensuring, through a variety of services, access to facilities and programs to students with either permanent or temporary disabilities.  The Disabilities Support Services coordinates NMC’s accommodations for students with documented disabilities.  Accommodations are determined on a case by case basis at the request of the student.  Current (and prospective) students interested in receiving more information regarding services for students with disabilities are encouraged to contact Disability Support Services at (670) 234-5498 ext. 1346, located in Building I adjacent to the NMC Snack Bar.

Submission of Late Work

Notify instructor immediately if an extenuating circumstance prevents you from turning in your assignment according to the specified schedule.  Any and all assignments turned in late will be subject to one letter grade deduction per day late.  Days late may not be based on class meeting dates, but calendar dates, so make every effort to get assignments in on time.  Assignments are due on designated date.

Cellular Phones and Pager Units

Cellular phones and pager units must be set on silent mode or turned off.  Inform family members and friends not to call or text message you during class unless it is an emergency or extenuating circumstance.  Messages may be checked during class breaks, which will be communicated by the instructor.  In the event of an emergency, inform your loved ones to call our SOE administrative manager at 234-3690 ext.2234 during our office hours of 7:30am-4:30pm, or they may call 287-7551 to receive assistance from our Administrative Services Security Office.  They will make sure you are made aware of any unforeseen emergencies.

Academic Dishonesty

The NMC General Catalog states, “Academic dishonesty will not be condoned by NMC.  Such dishonesty includes cheating and plagiarism, and condoning or abetting fellow classmates …which may result in suspension or dismissal from NMC.”  

Commitment - Yours and Mine

You have made the commitment to affiliate with the NMC School of Education and to take this course. I will expect you to function in a professional manner including meeting all course requirements. I appreciate that you have out-of-class responsibilities, but the commitment is yours.
