This week, we’ll be doing a couple things:

1. Making a brief excursion into the world of poetry.

Here is the Norton reading link: https://b-ok.cc/book/3409266/1950b1

[ ] Read the introduction to poetry in your Norton (see link). Please read at least the first five pages (476- the top of 481), though I’d recommend the whole introduction (476-501).

[ ] I’ll be posting a brief video on poetry as well.

[ ] Then, looking through the entire table of contents, please choose 5 poems to read on your own. (Poetry is found all the way from 476-749.) I would recommend several, but on the other hand, poetry, like music, ought to be found by love– so spend some time. You won’t regret it. (And on the other hand, if you’d like me to tell you about some of my favorites, watch the video. I’ll probably mention some. 🙂

2. Writing a Literary Critique.

For this paper, you’ll be taking part in the craft of the literary critic. By “criticism” we do not mean, of course, “saying negative things” (necessarily).

For this paper, you may pick any work– fiction, poetry, or drama– in our Norton book on which to write.

When you write a literary critique, what you’re doing is saying “This is what I think this story/poem/play is doing. This is what I think it means. And here is why…” You then proceed to back up your claim with examples from the text. You might also provide an evaluation of the quality of the work in regard to how well it accomplishes its task.

For this paper, you’ll be performing a very short (2-3 page) literary critique. Make sure you’ve read over the “What makes a good literature paper?” source (found under Week 5, Scholarly Links), as well as the rubric.

Part 1. Discusssion

In your introduction for this course you were asked to share your perspective on parenting. In this discussion we will build on that idea by looking at how parenting has changed over the last several decades.

To prepare for this discussion:

• Reading the article “25 Years of Parenting: A Look Back and a Look Ahead (Links to an external site.)”
• Read section 1.3 of the course text

In your initial post

• Describe at least two ways in which you think parenting has significantly changed in the last 25 years, citing the article or the text.
• Discuss at least two parenting strategies/ideas that were shared in the article that you found unexpected or surprising.
• Describe how using this information, along with your knowledge of child development, will help your work with families.

Part 2. Discussion

This course is titled “Understanding Behavior and Family Dynamics.” In order to fully understand these ideas, we must thoroughly understand the definition of family so that we can provide family-centered support. Viewing the child as an integral part of the family helps one develop a more culturally sensitive approach. Everything we do must support the family as a whole in order to be able to advocate for the needs of the children we work with (Supporting Partnerships for Success, n.d.).

To prepare for this discussion,

• Read Chapter 1 of the course text
• Watch the video 2010’s American Family Defined (Links to an external site.)

In your initial post

• Examine how the definition of family shared in the video 2010’s American Family Defined is similar or different to the definition of family shared in your course text.
• Create your own definition of family.
• Describe what providing family-centered support means to you. Use the Guiding Principles of Family Support Programs (Links to an external site.) document to support your ideas.
• Explain how your definition and understanding of family will enable you to provide family-centered support. Support your thinking with one additional scholarly source.

Each part of the discussion should be at least 250 words
