What does the research say about these two types of people? Are there certain personality characteristics discussed in the research about individual people or even within the group dynamics that foster people acting in such a fashion?

Remember how the discussion assignments work.

You need to respond to one discussion question with an essay of 400-600 words with at least two references.

This is due by 11:59 pm (Central Time) on Thursday.

By Sunday, you need to submit two responses of at least 75 words to people who, ideally, answered questions other than the one you answered.

include the question you are answering at the beginning of the posting.

If you notice that several people have answered a particular question, try to answer a different one.

The more different discussion topics we have, the better.

Here are the questions for Week Four:
1. What is the difference between Mindless versus Mindful Persuasion? Provide examples of each and talk about how this form or persuasion is achieved.

What are the lasting effects of each type of persuasion?

2. Cults are strong persuasive groups that indoctrinate people via various methods.

Watch the following 10-minute video that discusses how cults work (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxJyfqeaKU8&feature=related).

Discuss the common elements of cults as detailed by the video.

In researching this topic, are there any other characteristics that are effective in cults, which were not discussed in the video?

3. Pick a form of propaganda (there are several examples in the chapter) and discuss the context of the time it was implemented.

What did the propaganda entail?

Was the propaganda effective or not?

Finally, discuss the elements of persuasion that were considered when developing and implementing the propaganda.

4. How do the concepts of group Polarization and groupthink play into the capital insurrection that occurred in early January 2021?

Are there other group influencing concepts that may play into people’s decision to storm the capital of the United States?

5. This is a very broad questions so try to keep your response contained, but how are we affected by the presence of others?

Incorporate various topics from the chapter and other research into your response.

6. Define the group behavioral terms of social-loafers and extra-milers.

How do these behavioral tendencies develop?

What does the research say about these two types of people?

Are there certain personality characteristics discussed in the research about individual people or even within the group dynamics that foster people acting in such a fashion?

 

Discuss at length what strategies you see present in the video and how effective those strategies are at persuading consumers to change their behavior?

1. Watch the following Frontline episode that explores the different methods marketers and advertisers employ to discover what we want and how to sell it to us in the consumer and political realms

After reading the chapter, discuss at length what strategies you see present in the video and how effective those strategies are at persuading consumers to change their behavior?

Knowing the Intricacies of persuasion, are there any strategies marketers and advertisers are currently using that may be less effective and should be changed?

Next time you are in the community, document the strategies you see present and discuss those.

If you still decided to grab that bag of chips with the reflective surface inside the packaging while checking out at the grocery store, was your choice mindless or mindful?

How have you experienced the use of research in your practice? Discuss the relationship between the research available and the practice you have selected.

Supporting EBP requires a high level of evidence from research.

Refer to the Evidence Hierarchy on page 131 of your textbook and look for studies from the higher levels.

A good place to start would be the Cochran Collection in the library database.

Journal articles on the topic can provide expert opinion to support EBP.

These are a lower-level of evidence in the Hierarchy of evidence but are often valid.

Your supporting literature DOI or URL must lead to your resources to be counted. Check your DOI or URL carefully.

Hanging indents and double spacing are not required for this assignment.

2) Proper APA format is required for citations and references including the DOI for articles from the library. Double spacing and hanging indents are NOT required for this assignment.

3) Create one Poster on a single PowerPoint slide with the following information:

• Topic Title, Your name, and Credentials

• Discuss the relationship between the research available and the practice you have selected.

Topic Ex: PICC lines, Decubitus care, Tube feedings, VAP bundle, CAUTI, etc How have you experienced the use of research in your practice? Avoid HIPAA violations.

4) Upload your Poster in the submission link. This activity is worth 5% of your total grade.

You can expect individual feedback 72-hrs from the closing of the assignment.

What questions did the SOLOM answer for you as a teacher? Were any areas left unaddressed? How well do ratings in the individual language ability areas reflect the overall assessment?

Students will demonstrate their understanding of the (1) distinct structure and features of oral English, and (2) the innovative semiotic and linguistic repertoire of an emergent bilingual student by utilizing information obtained throughout the tutoring experience, coupled with a language sample from a tutoring session with their student.

Language samples will include approximately 10 minutes of discussion around a topic and will serve as a supplemental tool to refer back to when crafting your final paper.

The purpose of the analysis is to place your student at the center of the paper, lifting up the complexity, nuances, and contradictions involved in second language acquisition.

The analysis should focus on the innovative practices utilized by your student (semiotic and linguistic) as a multilingual.

All analyses should be descriptive vs. prescriptive and approach the concept of language and meaning making from a holistic multilingual perspective.

You are not prescribing or “correcting,” you are approaching language from a descriptive, holistic lens.

Claims made in the linguistic analyses must be supported by references drawn from course readings as well as external texts.

Final projects will consist of 4 discrete sections:

Introduction
A brief overview of your work with your student.

Describe your student’s academic and linguistic background and include any interesting features of your time spent together. (Maximum: 3/4 page)

2. Linguistic Analysis
An analysis of your student’s linguistic development as represented in the language sample:Phonological development
Morphological development
Syntactic development
Semantic development
Pragmatic competence (e.g., discourse routines, social conventions)
Free choice: anything else that strikes you as important. Analysis of additional features not listed but studied this semester are welcome in this section.

3. Recommended Classroom Practices
Describe 2-3 recommended instructional strategies for working with your bilingual EL student.

Strategies should target improving content area development and comprehension based on your work together.

SOLOM Results and Discussion
Analyze the how and why of your participant’s SOLOM results.
How (well) does the SOLOM measure a learner’s use of: syntax, semantics, morphology, phonology, language use/usage?

Which features of the bilingual EL student’s oral language prompted the rater to place him/her at each level in each domain?

Does the overall rating reflect the bilingual EL student’s abilities in the larger academic context?

How well do ratings in the individual language ability areas reflect the overall assessment?

What questions did the SOLOM answer for you as a teacher? Were any areas left unaddressed?
