A lot of information we have learned in this last chapter applies to my life. Heredity is passing on physical or mental traits from one generation to the next. For example, my mom has hazel eyes and so those genes got passed down to me. Both of my parents have freckles; therefore, the chance of me getting freckles were extremely high and that gene also got passed down to me. I also received my moms work ethic by watching her as I have been getting older; I want to see things to completion and I want to do good on those tasks. I received the chromosomes XX because I am a girl; if I was a boy then I would have received the XY chromosomes. I have a couple of the recessive traits that the textbook mentioned; I have straight hair and I am nearsighted. I find it absolutely crazy that there are a lot of sperm being released but only a few reach the egg and survive. Thats means that out of the many that tried to reach the egg but failed, me and you reached the egg against the odds. I was actually a premature baby and I did not realize there were so many risks for premature birth. I am not affected by me being born early now but I did have some trouble when I was first born and had to be hooked up to cords and could not go home for a little while. My mom had a c-section with me because I was 3-4 weeks early. Even though I was a premature baby, I did not have what is considered a low birth weight (5 pounds and 8 ounces). My oldest brother was born through an actual birth and he was bleeding on the inside when he was touched but the doctors did not know what was wrong with him. The same thing happened with my next brother and then me but they were prepared for it by the time they got to me because they had dealt with my brothers. 

I’m working on a other writing question and need a sample draft to help me learn.

Watch “Lord of the Dance”

After watching the Unit 2 video, answer the following questions in essay format. Essay must be 250-300 words.

Describe two of the dance forms from the film.

Include details such as: geographic location, ethnicity/ gender/ age of performers, religion, costuming, music, type of movement, reasons for performing the dance and or ritual.

What dance form did you find most interesting and why?

Developing a keen understanding about our history can be immensely helpful in moving into our future with purpose. And this notion often applies to all aspects of life, including our career or areas of study.

As your current area of study is photography and you’re already starting to develop an understanding of the history and development of this creative art form, this is the perfect opportunity to dive a bit deeper and explore a variety of subjects, photographic styles, themes, and trends, both historical and contemporary.

To present all of the information you will be researching online into an organized and relevant format, you will be creating a highly visual timeline of ‘Photography Through the Ages.’

Let’s start with the specifics about what you will need to research and include on your timeline:

• At least three different historical periods in time to examine and explore in terms of art and photography as well as our current time period (you will therefore research four time periods in total).
• For each historical period that you choose, as well as the current time period:
  • Explore and identify at least one artistic theme associated with this period
  • Explore and identify at least one artistic trend associated with this period
  • Explore and identify the most popular or relevant photographic styles used during this period
  • Explore and identify the most popular or frequently photographed subjects during this period

Now for the fun part! Your timeline should feature more images, graphics, and visual components than text. While you will certainly need to include text to further explain the images that you include and the research that you do, you want your timeline to ultimately appear as a beautiful work of art—a visual exploration through the history of photography and art in general. This timeline can be created using any program you wish, or feel free to use actual paper and pencil and submit several images of your timeline so your instructor can easily make out the details of your entire assignment.

Beyond these guidelines, the only other bit of guidance that can be offered is to be creative and have fun! Remember to save this lab, as well as the images you use for it, in a folder clearly labelled “U3 Lab,” as you may want to access it again later for your final project.

Find two different iconic or historically significant photographs that you would like to recreate. One photo should be from before 1940, and the other one should be from the period 1940 to the present. Try to choose two different types of photos: landscape, war photograph, portrait, street scene, or still life, for example. Choose subjects that you can find a way, even if it is very creative, to recreate.

Next you will research each of the two photographs. Find out who took the photo, where it was taken, when it was taken, how they mechanically produced the photograph, and what the photographer’s motivation was for each. Write two one-page essays—one about each photo. Your essays should cover the following:

• a brief description of the photographer and their body of work.
• the technology used to make the photo
• how the photograph represents a work of art
• how the style of the photo fits in with the historical trends in photography at the time it was made.

Finally, find people, places, and things that resemble what is shown in the photo. Use your camera to experiment and try to come up with a photograph that is as close as possible to the original. Look at the lighting and try to replicate what the original photographer did. Also, look at the shapes and make them similar. Perhaps you can have a friend pose for a portrait or pretend to be a famous athlete to make your photo recreation. Have fun, but work at it until you have something that can sit side-by-side with the original and be obvious that it is a “copy.”

The most effective strategies, approaches, and methods for teaching ELLs are supported by language acquisition theories. English language acquisition can be promoted by understanding language as an interconnected system and by integrating the discourse and rhetorical structures of ELLs within instruction.

For this assignment, you will devise a language game or communication activity informed by language acquisition theory that integrates listening, speaking, reading, and writing for a grade level within grades K-8.

For your chosen grade level, select a content standard from the Arizona Academic Standards and a corresponding standard from the Arizona English Language Proficiency (ELP) to be aligned with the game or activity. Create at least one learning objective for your game or activity that is aligned with your chosen academic and ELP standards.

Within a 500-750  word submission, include the following:

1. The academic and ELP standards as well as the learning objective(s) to be addressed within your game or activity
2. An explanation of the game or activity and how it would be carried out in an educational setting
3. A list of the materials needed for your game or activity
4. A brief description of at least one language acquisition theory and how it informed the design of your game or activity
5. A brief definition of phonetics, phonology, morphology, lexicon, semantics, syntax, and pragmatics. Additionally, include a description of how each of these elements relate to the verbal and written exercises within your game or activity.

Watch “Sex and Social Dance”

After watching the video, answer the following questions in essay format. Essay must be 250-300 words.

What is a courtship or ‘coupling’ dance? Give an example from the film and describe the dance.

In which culture is the larger group more important than the nuclear family? How is this value demonstrated through their dance?

In which culture do men and women traditionally dance separately? Why is this done?

In which of the dance styles are gender roles not clearly defined?

Choose one photograph to write about from the presentation Beyond The Surface.pdf

Actions

and recorded presentation.

Write 250-500 words (full or half page) in which you identify the photographer, title of image, and any points of interest which draws you to pick this particular photograph. I would like to hear what it is that you find significant or interesting about the image, talking about light and composition in terms which were discussed in the previous Looking at Photographs lecture and conversation. Express your point of view as to why this image is impactful and even how it relates to broader concerns or issues of the time in which it was made, or how it relates to our current time and perspective. This short essay is meant to be a personal expression of your interest in the photograph and there are no wrong answers to be concerned about, since it is based on how you feel.

Use standard spelling, grammar, punctuation and structure which is appropriate to this college-level course. No specific “styles” or citations are necessary, just your own expression and explanation of your personal interest in the image.

In this assignment, through both shooting photos and writing about them, you will explore the effects of the background on emphasizing the subject.

You’ll want to pick a subject that you can move from one location to another.

• Photograph an object in front of a white or bright background.
• Photograph the same object in front of a black or dark background.
• Photograph that same object in front of a busy background.
• Take several images of each setup; ‘work the subject’

Try to keep the lighting conditions similar. If the key light (either indoors or outdoors) is coming from the right side in the first shot, make sure it comes from the right side in the others.)

Left: bright background; Right: busy background

Examine how the different backgrounds affect the emphasis of your object.

Choose your best image from each background; they should be similar in point of view and lighting. In Photoshop, size each image (Image > Image Size) to 72ppi and around 800 pixels wide. In a Word document, paste in your best image from each background. All three images should fit on a single page. (Adjust the size slightly in Word, if necessary, to make them fit.)

On the second page, explain, in a few paragraphs, what you observe the differences are among the 3 photographs and identify which background was most successful for your object and why.
