In this time, you have observed your students’ difficulty in fully grasping the importance of language theory as it relates to the healthy development of young children. To overcome this struggle, you have created a lesson that will prompt students to explore how young children learn language. You are excited, because you believe this will provide students with foundation knowledge in language theory and acquisition. You decide to begin your lesson with a PowerPoint presentation that outlines the contributions of key language theorists and the principles that define their theories.
In this Assignment, you create a 10- to 15-slide PowerPoint presentation.
Then, visit the scenario presented for this Assignment, which prompts you to assume the role of an instructor in a community college setting. Next, reflect on all that you have explored in this module with regard to language acquisition theory, as well as the key principles and major contributions by the field’s most notable theorists: Piaget, Vygotsky, Skinner, and Chomsky. Last, consider why it is vital for early childhood professionals to possess knowledge of language acquisition and development.
Submit a PowerPoint presentation that adheres to the following:
• In a minimum of 8 slides (2 slides per theorist), provide an overview of each theorist—Piaget, Vygotsky, Skinner, and Chomsky—that includes:
o key language acquisition and developmental principles; and
o major contributions to the field of language acquisition and development.
• At least 2 additional slides that explain:
o why the information shared by these theorists is vital to early childhood educators; and
o how early childhood educators can use this information in their practice.
Cite at least three references in APA format to substantiate your thinking.

WALKER, “EVERYDAY USES” Questions: Literature and the Writing Process (147)
1. Who is telling this story? What kind of person is she? Describe her character traits, her strengths and weaknesses, and explain how you feel about her. Is it significant that she is not given a first name but is called only Mama throughout?
2. Why do you think Walker chose Mama as the narrator instead of Maggie or Dee/Wangero? How would the story be different if told from the point of view of one of the daughters?
3. Describe the character traits of Maggie and Dee/Wangero. How you respond to them? Do you admire them, feel sorry for them, and dislike them? Explain why.
4. Why does Mama include the account of the fire in her narration? Do we know how the house caught fire? Is it important to know? Does this past tragedy shed light on the characters’ actions in the story?
5. What is the significance of the African names, dress, and hairstyles? Why do you think Asalamalakim appears in the story?
6. Why does Dee/ Wangero want the quilts? Why does Mama give them to Maggie?
7. What is the major conflict in the story? Who best understands the family’s heritage? How do you know this?

HEMINGWAY’S “HILLS LIKE WHITE ELEPHANTS”
1. Where is the story set? How does the setting contribute to your understanding of the story?
2. What is a white elephant? Analyze the symbolic significance of the title and come to some conclusions.
3. How would you describe point of view in this story? How would you describe each of the main characters? Support your interpretation.
4. In what way does Hemingway’s dialogue simultaneously reveal and hide the subject of the story?
5. The number two is used ten times in the story. What is the significance of this repetition? Note especially the two parallel train tracks and the two strings of beads that do not intersect: Do they suggest anything about the character’s lives?
6. What is the central conflict between the two lovers? What is the main point or theme of the story?

CARVER, “WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LOVE”
1. How would you describe the two couples? (In addition to looking closely at their dialog, consider their gestures and interactions with one another.)
2. What different definitions and descriptions of love come up during the conversation? How do the (sometimes graphic) anecdotes contribute to your understanding of theme?
3. How do setting (location & time) and atmosphere (the mood or emotional effect of the setting and events) contribute to your understanding of the story?
4. What do the images of the beekeeper and the knight have to do with love? In what way are the images connected? (Mel McGinnis might not be aware of the connection, but the reader should be.) What do you make of the confusion of the words vessel and vassal?

Discuss the initiation of puberty and the role that hormones play during this period in the adolescent\’s life span.
Discuss the menstrual cycle and the phases involved in the menstrual cycle. What is the role of various hormones during each phase and what is the significance of each?
Compare and contrast the hormones relevant during the menstrual cycle and menopause. What changes occur in the woman\’s body as she prepares to enter menopause?
Tanner staging during puberty has been used for decades. Tanner staging also estimates when to expect to see these changes in boys and girls. Yet it seems that girls and boys are \”maturing faster\” today than in previous decades. Do you believe this is a true statement—that adolescents are maturing at an earlier age? If so, what do you believe is the cause of this? If you disagree with this statement, give rationale for why.
MUST USE SCHOLARLY ARTICLES WITHIN THE PAST 5 YEARS AS REFERENCES.

This assignment is not meant to be an autobiography. It is an exercise where you attempt to explain a phenomenon with the theories learned in class. Do not conduct interviews or participant observations in order to collect data for this paper. You do not have ethical clearance.
This assignment is meant for you to analyze something meaningful to you. You can choose a topic relating to a personal experience, a newspaper article or a broad societal topic (you can email me with questions about topics). You can also use the same topic discussed in your proposal. The essay must have an argument that is supported through different types of evidence and theory. Your essay can be trans formative. This means you can present possible solutions to the problem addressed. To ensure conceptual clarity. Please make sure to explain your understanding of concepts, theories, and ideas.
Essay Instructions: You must use at least four articles from the course syllabus and three external sources. External sources are to be from academic journals or books (no Wikipedia etc.). If in doubt, please ask. Beside the scholarly citations feel free to use news articles and other sources to support and contextualize your work. Please note: It is not sufficient to simply quote one definition in the paper, the concepts from the class must be used consistently throughout the paper.
The essay must be double spaced, using 12pt Times New Roman font, and 1 inch margins. It must also include a reference page. Make sure all the sources in your essay are in your bibliography and vice versa.
Essay Structure: A good essay is clear and to the point. It has an introduction that draws the reader to your topic and introduces your research question/argument /hypothesis/thesis. Make an argument, you want to ensure that the reader has a clear understanding of where you stand on the issue and the steps you will take to prove your point. In the body of the paper you want to explain concepts pertinent to your topic. The rest of your paper develops your argument by providing evidence (from other authors, examples etc.) in support of your argument. Make sure you provide a conclusion. The conclusion can be a way for you to sum up what you have argued as well as to make recommendations for change.

Starting in the womb, babies begin to live in the rhythm and patterns of their native language. Just as you may use the beat of a song to learn a dance, babies use the phonemic patterns of their environment to learn language. In fact, it is scientifically proven that babies who are talked to using infant directed speech (IDS)—also known as “baby talk” or “motherese”—develop language faster than babies who grow up in quieter environments. Alertly listening to the elongated sounds of IDS, babies begin to mimic patterns, starting first as simple bursts of sound and babbles, to strings of words and declarative phrases.
In this Discussion, you further explore how young children acquire language. You also investigate the theories that lead the field of language acquisition and development.
To prepare:
Review the theories and theorists presented in this module’s Learning Resources, specifically the work of Piaget, Vygotsky, Skinner, and Chomsky.Then, view the videos Born to Talk: Birth to 3 Months (Siren Films, n.d.-a) and The Birth of a Word (Roy, 2011). Consider how the parent/child interactions presented in each video illustrate key findings in language acquisition and developmental theories.
Write the following: Describe at least two ways the parents in the video Born to Talk: Birth to 3 mothers solicited/elicited communicative reactions from their infants. Explain how each of these interactions mirrored theoretical principles from the work of Piaget, Vygotsky, Skinner, and/or Chomsky.
