The MidTerm Project will be the creation of a Children BOOK of at least 10 pages. It should tell a story (fiction or nonfiction) and be both engaging to the student as a listener and exciting through its visual presentation.

Creativity is a vital part of this assignment It should be 12 X 17 or smaller but can be bound in various ways.

The book should support a particular skill or outcome and reflect incorporation of some of the various concepts and skills addressed during this course. The book should be purposeful as well as entertaining.

Midterm Project

The midterm consists of two components- a book and a rationale with reflection. An additional component is a video presentation of the book that is due to HW # 12 and will be graded separately.

Component 1: Will be the creation of a Children’s Book of at least 10 pages. It should tell a story and be both engaging to the student as a listener and exciting as a visual presentation. Creativity is a vital part of this assignment. The book should support a particular skill or learning outcome (Outcomes: 1-5, 9, 11-13)

Grading: This item will be graded holistically based on:

Ability to focus on a skill, topic or competency relevant to the Early Childhood curriculum and/or the preschool NGLS

Use of vocabulary, language and/or concepts that extend student knowledge

Visual appeal (eye to buy appeal) & Creativity

Demonstration of embedded course knowledge in the final product (book)

Presentation of book on video that will be graded separately (HW # 12)

Component 2: Children Book (Big Book is allowed for the presentation of the book in HW # 12) Rationale (min 3 pages double spaced Times New Roman)

Based on the course readings discuss:

The age and group this book was intended for and why

The elements that went into creating this book based on what you now know about early literacy (i.e. repetition, multiple perspectives etc.).

What was your focus (i.e., skill, topic or competency relevant to the Early Childhood curriculum and/or the preschool NGLS)
What standard your book meets and why

Why you choose the vocabulary, language and/or concepts that extend student knowledge

How would you use this book in your classroom

Support your discussion with research (3 references should be used at minimum).

Be sure to use APA formatting in your paper.

This paper/a commentary must include the following sections:

Title page.
Rationale.

The book itself (for the purpose of the paper, you can include the book in an MS word format on a regular letter-size format or use google slides if it is more convenient)

Conclusion – Based on this analysis and comments, you should make suggestions for the improvement of the project and recommendations for future classroom practices

There are three (3) minimum references requirements for the paper.

Appendices (if applicable) – Any additional materials, etc.

Successful teachers do the following:

develop and apply knowledge of varied learner needs
consider research and theory about how learners with varied needs are best supported to learn

develop learner knowledge and skills using individual education plan goals, common core and other learning standards, and ongoing assessment to select instructional objectives

provide individualized instruction and instructional and performance adaptations and accommodations that further learning
attend to generalization and maintenance of newly learned knowledge and skills

Reflect on and analyze evidence of the effects of instruction and other supports on individual learning, and use this information to inform future selection of instructional content and methods of instruction

Support student efforts of self-assessment and independent learning
Mechanics

The Children’s Book – Part 2 must be type-written and double-spaced, with the commentary of at least 3 pages total not including the title page and the reference page. American Psychological Association (APA) format must be followed for references and citations. At least three

references are required. refer to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (latest edition) printed by the APA. You can also refer to the APA Sheets in this Course Information section.

Remember that there is a minimum three (3) references requirement for the paper. These references (books, articles, etc.) should be published within the last five years. For grading the research paper, refer to the rubrics.

Your references in the paper should match the references on the Reference Page. If you have a source on the reference page that is not in the paper, this is an error.

Make sure that you follow the current version of the APA format. Your final paper should be double-spaced, printed in 12 font, using Times New Roman. do not leave an extra space between paragraphs.

Your Reference page is the last page. Put the word References on top and in the middle of the page. Do not underline or boldface it. It should also be double-spaced.

Do not enumerate your sources; rather arrange them in an alphabetical order. The first line is a regular line at the margin, the second and the rest are indented – a hanging indent. The next source, the same pattern.

The title of the book is italicized, not underlined.

The title of the journal is italicized, not underlined.

Everything (the paper and the reference page) is double-spaced.

When working on your paper, pay attention to the structure of your paper and to the use of the APA style, especially when you work with references.

It is very important to follow this requirement in order to get the highest grade. see a Sample Reference Page and APA Sheets in the Course Information folder.

The Evolution of Business Ethics

One nice thing about this course is that you will find your background reading page rather short—but there will still be a respectable amount of reading to do. The reason is that you will be using a textbook for your Case Assignments. Well, it’s actually more of a narrative of the history of Lockheed Martin’s (LM) ethics program than an actual textbook.The first part of the text provides a general history of the company and also provides the setting for the creation of the company’s ethics program. Military contractors like LM tend to find themselves in the unique position of manufacturing weapons of war which they sell for a profit. But those weapons also provide a military superiority that helps to protect our troops in the field.With this said,read pages 1-48 for this module from the following book in the Trident Online Library:Terris, D. (2013). Ethics at work: Creating virtue at an American corporation. Waltham, MA:  Retrieved from the Trident Online Library.For your SLP assignment you will be asked to spend some time reviewing an article on stakeholder management. Stakeholder management is foundational to the practice of business ethics. This is because typically when a company player does something unethical, stakeholders are the ones impacted. As always, some stakeholders may benefit and others may lose, but stakeholders will always be involved. Balancing stakeholder concerns is subsequently an important aspect of ethical decision making. This article provides a good overview of stakeholder management.Howitt, M., & McManus, J. (2012). Stakeholder management: An instrument for decision making. Management Services, 56(3), 29-34.

Do You Have to Be an Expert to Practice Ethics?

Assignment Overview
The first part of your reading in Daniel Terris’ book will include an overview of Lockheed Martin’s organization and will lay out the research plan that Terris used to obtain information necessary for his work. This will be followed by a general overview of the evolution of business ethics in America.

Case Assignment
Based on your readings, describe what you consider to be the responsibility of top leadership in a large organization with respect to reaching a balance between profits and stakeholder concerns.

support your position by giving some examples from the text or from other sources where CEOs did a good or poor job of finding this balance.

Terris discusses the history of business ethics in America since the late 1800s with respect to anti-competitive practices, seeking unfair advantage through immoral arrangements with suppliers and public officials, failing to adhere to laws and regulations, and lack of transparency.

Discuss to what extent you believe things to be better or worse in the present day for businesses in general.

On page 41, Terris discusses the ideas of Howard Bowen regarding the evolution of social responsibility of businesses.

To what extent do you think his predictions held true since 1953?
Assignment Expectations

APA Points:

According to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, there are three reasons why we need to use proper citations and references.

They are:

“To ensure the accuracy of scientific knowledge” (p.11). – How do we know if what you are reading is really the truth? We can look at the citation and the reference and do further research to make sure what you are reading and what you are basing your research on is correct.“To protect the rights and welfare of research participants” (p.11). – People deserve to get credit for their work. When you earn a degree and go on to do research, you will want credit for the work you have published.“To protect intellectual property rights” (p.11). – When we refer to inventions, we should give credit to the person who invented the item, trademarked the item, or developed a design. This protects their work.A reference system also allows the reader to use the in-text citation and reference page to find out how to do further research when they find a topic of interest. It can save a lot of time.As educated students, we should know the APA Style rules and work to perfect them.Below are three common mistakes that cost Trident Students. Reviewing these examples should help you improve your grade and also make future assignments easier.

APA Point 1: Where does the period go?

The use of a period. The period indicates the end of a sentence. However, if we put the period before the in-text citation, we are actually beginning the next sentence with the citation. Therefore, the period goes after the citation. Another misuse of the period is putting it before the citation and another after the citation. This is not correct. The period goes after the in-text citation.

Example: Intercultural Communication is quite important in how we deal with individuals from different Countries and even from different neighborhoods of our cities (Pearson, 2015b). – Notice where the period is.

APA Point 2: Do we need to use Quotation Marks?

When using information word for word from someone else’s work, quotation marks are necessary. This example illustrates the use of quoted material at the end of the sentence, followed by a citation and reference. The reference will also include the page numbers.

Example: When we are writing a Negative Letter, there are numerous authors who recommend starting the letters with a buffer. Remember, “Openings for negative messages are often called Buffer Beginnings because they are designed to buffer the negative message that will follow” (Bowman, 2002, p. 1).

APA Point 3: Arranging entries on a reference list.

Once again as we dive into our Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, we get guidance on how to arrange our references on the reference page. “Arrange entries in alphabetical order by the surname of the first author followed by initials of the author’s given name” (p. 181). One may ask why. When there are two or three references, it does not make a great amount of difference. But with numerous references, it is much easier if we arrange the references by the author’s last name. Remember, one of the purposes of a reference page is to help readers find additional information. If there are 10 or more references listed in random order, it is difficult to find the appropriate reference. So let’s use the alphabetical ordering.

Your paper should be double-spaced and in 12-point type size.

Your paper should have a separate cover page and a separate reference page containing the full citations corresponding to the in-text citations you choose to use in the body of your paper.So in addition to the 4- to 5-page body of your paper you will have a title page and a reference page.So overall, you will be submitting a 6- to 7-page document.

Use APA style, and proofread your paper.

Upload your paper by the end of the module.
