Acceptable lengths for the term paper will be 12-15 pages, including references, charts, graphs, etc. If your term paper is late you will lose 10% of the remaining term paper portion of your final grade for each day it is late. Term papers must be submitted using Turnitin on BlackBoard. Self-plagiarism counts as academic dishonesty and includes recycling term papers written for previous classes and otherwise failing to reference any work you wrote elsewhere. “Patchworking” is another form of plagiarism many students are not aware of.

The paper instructions are very general but 5-7 sources also need to be throughout the paper as well as the paper has to be written in ASA.

Examining the curriculum from multiple perspectives

Analyzing Cultural Relevance in Instruction

Wardle (2013) summarizes the important characteristics of a culturally relevant teacher. After reviewing this material, for this assignment you will apply your knowledge of culturally relevant pedagogy as you propose solutions to problems facing a teacher with a very diverse student population. This exercise provides excellent practice over the application of culturally relevant principles in the design of effective instructional solutions. You will need to design such instructional solutions within the Final Project, so it is very important to practice such skills here. Specifically, for this assignment, you will view a brief video taken with a cell phone by a student in a high school social studies class. The video (Bliss, 2013) documents a meltdown Bliss experienced during his World History course at Duncanville High School in Duncanville, Texas. A transcript of the audio is provided in the Instructor Guidance for this week along with other detailed assistance for completing this assignment.

After reviewing the Instructor Guidance for this task, create your assignment to meet the content and written communication expectations below.

2. Diagnosis: How did it get like this? What probably caused it? Who set it up like this? Who benefits? Who loses? What position do you take on this issue?
