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?

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?
