Format:
These abstracts should be 1—2 pages total (typed and double-spaced), regardless of the length of the reading. However, only the first 1—2 paragraphs will a conventional abstract; the rest will be critical reflection. For the abstract portion, you should summarize the major points of the reading, and then provide your own critical analysis of the article’s major points or claims. Note that being critical does not require you to be negative about the author or article, but is about taking a questioning stance.
For the abstract portion, you will be assessed on
• how well you pull out the main ideas of each reading, • how clearly you present each idea in your writing
Critical analysismight include some of the following:
• your thoughts on possible applications of the article;
• questions you have about the author’s/authors’ chosen approach to their topic; • connections you see to other course materials;
• gaps between what the author(s) set out to do and what the article delivers;
• oversights in the author’s/authors’ analysis;
• possible other directions for the author’s/authors’ ideas.
Please include specific citations in your abstracts, though for course readings, you only need to provide the author’s/authors’ last names and page number in brackets. Though it is not necessary to draw on non-course materials for this assignment, if you do mention other articles, provide complete reference information. No cover page is required, but please put your name and student number, as well as the name of the author(s) and article you are abstracting, at the top of the page.

Order Description

Its purpose is to enhance your learning through the very process of writing and thinking about your personal experiences. Your reflective journal is personal to you and will reflect your personality and experiences throughout the module.

A reflective journal should not be a purely descriptive account of what you did/learnt but an opportunity to communicate your thinking process: how and why you learnt what you learnt, and what you now think about what you learnt.

At level 9, reflection should be critical in tone, looking to analyse linkages between module themes, your learning, experiences, and development.

answer these questions-
Questions to consider as you go along:

What did I learn today in class?
How did I feel about the experience?
How might other people have experienced/understood the same content. Why?
What did I find interesting and why?
What did I find puzzling or unexpected and why?
What do I feel about the way I am approaching the issue, subject or topic?
How am I learning and can I link this to any theories about learning?
How can I improve my learning techniques?
What do I need to know more about and how can I plan for further action?
What other resources interested or inspired me (guest speakers, workshops, visuals etc.)
Looking through my journal periodically, how have I improved my writing, reflection and subject knowledge?

• a maximum of 5 double-spaced pages of text plus illustration(s)
• typed in a 12-point font
• with 1.25-inch margins
• include bibliographic information on the source(s) for the household you select for your essay
• the example must be from a published source; no websites; not your current home or previous home.

The buildings that people live in can provide archaeologists with information on the number of people who lived in the residence as well as how those people were organized. For instance, households occupied by small nuclear families, large extended families, and polygamous families are likely to be different in size and layout. Consequently, the arrangement of kitchens, bedrooms, work areas, hallways, doors, and other features can indicate how household members were organized and how they interacted.

The assignment:
Review publications on ethnographic, historic or modern residences and select one household for your essay. Your example must include a map of the household structure (or structures, some household have more than one building) and a good description of the social organizationof the people who lived in the household. Do not use an archaeological example.Scan a copy of the map of the household structure to include in your essay.
write an essay in which you evaluate how the social organization of the people living in the household is reflected in the size and layout of the household structure. Be sure to describe the architecture of the household (types of rooms, style, special features, size, access patterns, layout, etc.) as well as the social organization of people dwelling in structure. Discuss the historical and cultural setting of the structure and social group (when, where, and who).

The development of prejudice in childrenAnalyze one children’s book
A CHECKLIST FOR ANALYZING BIAS IN CHILDREN’S BOOKS

Check the illustrations

• Look for stereotypes. Some illustrations are blatantly stereotypical; others may be

more subtle in ridiculing characters based on their race or sex.

• Look for tokenism. Check to be sure that the illustrator has not simply used white

characters colored in and that all people of color do not look alike.

• Examine who is doing what. Are only white men active or in leadership roles? Are

women or people of color in passive or subservient roles?

Check the story line for bias in the following areas:

• Standards for success: do people of color have to exhibit white behavior in order to

succeed? Must people of color be extraordinary in order to succeed?

• Resolutions of problems: are problems solved by white people? Are societal problems

explained or are they treated as inevitable? Are minority people considered to be the

problem?

• Role of women: are achievements of women and girls based on their looks? Could the

same story be told if the sex roles were reversed and the characters were men or

boys?

Look at the lifestyles

• Are the contrasts between people of color and whites negative?

• Are people of color presented in settings other than the barrio or ghetto?

• Does the author sincerely present an alternative lifestyle without negative value

judgments?

• Are women and those of diverse family styles fairly represented?

Weigh the relationships between people

• Are the whites or males in the story in control?

• Are the family structures stereotypical?

Note the heroes

• If the heroes or heroines are persons of color or women, do they avoid all conflict with

whites or with men?

• Are they admired for the same qualities as white and male heroes or heroines?

Consider the effects on a child’s self image

• Are standards established that limit the child’s aspirations and self-esteem?

• Are there positive and constructive role models for children of color and for females?

Consider the author’s or illustrator’s background, if possible

• If the book is about people of color or women, does the author or illustrator have the

experience and knowledge necessary to create nonbiased descriptions or

discussions?

Check the author’s perspective

• Is the author or illustrator’s personal perspective limited?

• Does this view distort the story in any way?

Watch for loaded words

• Some words carry insulting or derogatory connotations.

• Does the author avoid the use of such words as “savage,” “treacherous,” and

“primitive” when describing people of given ethnic, cultural, or social groups?

Look at the copyright date

• The copyright date is no guarantee that a book is nonbiased, but more recent books

generally present a more authentic view of people of color and women than those

published in the 1960’s and before.
