Historians and doctors have much in common. Both acknowledge that the  proper study of mankind is Man. Both are particularly interested in the  influences which condition human existence. . . . In medical diagnosis,  a single cause for disease will often be found. In historical  investigation, the causes are likely to be complex. Nothing could be  more ridiculous than to contend that disease is always the primary cause  of great historical change; but, particularly at a time when the  sociological aspects of history are being emphasized, it is worth  examining those episodes in which the influence of disease may have been  of real importance, especially when that importance has been neglected  or misconstrued by more conventional historians.
Frederick Cartwright, Disease and History
 Over the millennia, various epidemic and pandemics have greatly  influenced the course of human events. This can be witnessed in military  and political affairs, in cultural worldviews, in the development of  the arts and folklore. This assignment consists of descriptions of  epidemics from throughout the western world and interpretations of their  impact.  In a short research paper consider the following questions and  answer them in your response. 
Be sure to synthesize (all) the material into your own analysis of  the role of plague throughout the centuries. Are the plagues discussed  the same diseases? What are their similarities? What are their  differences? What effect do these illnesses have on society, culture,  politics, and the economy? Are there commonalities to man’s reaction or  response to the sickness? What does the reaction of humanity to epidemic  say about our species? Is mankind more capable of dealing with an  epidemic or even pandemic in one period than another?

This week you examined how we quantify and record behavior based on an experimental question. Consider an idea you may have to research using single case design. Select one of the (4) types of experimental questions from Kennedy and construct an experimental question. 
To receive full credit you must:
Identify which type of question you selected (2 points).
Provide a measurable dependent variable (5 points).
Provide an independent variable that is behavior analytic in nature (5 points).
Identify how you will quantify your dependent variable? In other words, will you use count, rate, duration, latency, etc.? (5 points).
Determine possible IOA formula for your study (3 points).

 
To be successful in reading and writing, students need to be immersed in literacy. Effective teachers utilize research-based strategies that provide students with many opportunities to apply and practice their literacy skills.
Create a 10-15 slide digital presentation for your colleagues to provide them with examples of research-based instructional strategies that promote literacy development within elementary education classrooms.
Select a grade level preschool-Grade 3 and provide one research-based strategy to promote development in each of the following areas. Include an example of how each strategy could be utilized within the classroom of your chosen grade level:
Phonics
Phonemic Awareness
Vocabulary
Comprehension
Fluency
Writing
Listening
Speaking
In addition, in 200-250 words, reflect on how integrating oral communication, reading, and writing during instruction can increase learning in all content areas.
Presenter’s notes are required for each content slide. Presentation must include a title slide at the beginning, and a reference slide with documentation of resources at the end. The title slide and reference slide do not count in the total number of slides.
