ï‚· Child Abuse or Neglect

 

The Early Childhood period covers from birth through third grade, and anything that supports or impedes children’s learning maybe a valid topic. Student will
investigate their topics, find at least 3 reliable sources of information about the topic, and prepare a 7- 10 minute presentation for two peers to review, accompanied
by a one-page handout. Students will also prepare a more detailed written outline of their presentation to hand in to the instructor, and will cite all their sources
in writing on the outline.

Presentations may use PowerPoint, Google Slides or PREZI, relevant websites or videos may be displayed during the presentation. The HCC librarians can help students
find and cite sources of relevant information; the instructor will be happy to meet with students individually to help each refine the topic, clarify the material,
compose the outline, etc.

Give a basic introduction of the topic – what is it? Define it – is it a learning institution, a method of instruction, a law relating to education, etc? Give enough
information so that the class can understand what you will be talking about.
