This term paper is very important for me and has 40 marks of evaluation. My professor insists that we use what he calls “impressive language” that is highly academic and sophisticated because we are PhD level. The analysis should be build on analyzing deixis in terms of semantic meaning and pragmatic meaning and how pragmatic deixis exist in the poem. Please be focused and to the point. analysis should be deep and precise. The paper should be mainly devoted to analysis of the poem after pointing out the framework of analysis. The poem is available everywhere and I am ready to upload it if needed.

How do you plan to monitor student growth between the baseline data and the post-assessment?
Identify 2-3 measureable data sets, the frequency of administration, methods for analyzing,
how this will inform instruction, and how students are engaged in the decision making process.
The following information should be included:
• Name of assessment(s) (Examples include teacher made assessments, unit assessments, student projects, etc.)
• Frequency (How often will you assess the progress of your students towards your Academic Goal)
• Method of analyzing (For example, I will review the bi-weekly formative assessments to analyze the progress on student learning and make adjustments in my teaching as I reflect collaboratively with my colleagues.)
• Sources of information that will inform your instruction (formative/summative assessment results)
• How students will be engaged in the decision making process (Examples include, but are not limited to: student surveys, self-directed learning, student class evaluations, encouraging student voice in learning, self progress learning, peer evaluations of classroom performance)

 

Write a 2-3 page (double-spaced) essay that addresses the following questions. Note that you do not need to go in any sort of order. Feel free to structure the paper however you’d like and discuss any impressions you had of the reading that are not prompted below, but make sure to also address each of the following prompts (the ones in bold):

What were your overall impressions of the reading? Were you surprised by the extent to which we justify our decisions and/or are unwilling to admit and confront our own mistakes?
Provide two examples of cognitive dissonance in your own life. How did you resolve these issues? Did you change your attitudes, your behavior, or both?
Tough question: why is it that we seem SO afraid to make mistakes, be it at work, in school, etc.? Where do you think this fear comes from? Is there anything we can do to overcome it?
Do you think that there is anything we can teach our children or learn from a young age that might make us less likely to fall into a dissonant state or to be more willing to admit to our own hypocrisies?

 
For the paper, the following headers must include the following:
