With the speedy advancement of the American nation, there were several issues that arose and were left to develop and make the city life something to be astonishing to those who were not accustomed. In New York, the cities were contaminated with sickness and filth on every corner and these problems were left to the poor to figure out and solve. However, with the invention of the camera and a man named Jacob Riis the issues at hand were displayed for all to see and better understand the struggles that poor immigrants and citizens had come accustomed to during the 1800's. "The article The Mirror with a Memory" by James West Davidson and Mark Hamilton Lytle takes place as a biography that traces the life of Jacob Riis and his work to improve the
During the 19th century, America promised land and opportunities for all. Though some groups of individuals left their homes willingly in order to take advantage of what America had to offer, others were forced to flee due to inhabitable conditions in their homelands. Both Chinese and Irish immigrants, however, were often disappointed with their treatment upon arrival in America. The Anglo-Saxons that first inhabited America viewed immigrants as uncivilized and quickly declared their superiority, forcing immigrants to work for them. They created laws that prevented groups from accessing similar privileges as them and racialized these groups based on their cultures and languages.
I chose to show the book, “Dark Places” in a simple shadow box. The book is a non fiction about a tragic life story of a girl named Libby Day. When she was only seven years old when her mother and two sisters were murdered by her brother. But… is he really the killer? That's the question Libby Day hunts to find.
From the birth of the nation to today, the idea that the United States of America was built on the foundation of democracy remains unwavering. Throughout history, many different figures have molded and shaped democracy in their own ways, changing how the nation perceives and defines democracy. From Martin Luther King Jr.’s inspirational speeches that shook the nation to the riveting case of Brown v. The Board of Education that contributed to the hard fought battle against inequality. Among those figures and events that redefined democracy and therefore the country, stands Ronald Takaki. Known for his work in ethnic studies, Takaki pioneered studies into African American history, being the first professor at UCLA to teach African American history.

Its important to promote a sense of belonging in the setting as when children grow up, they need to feel that they belong to the group, whether that group is their family, their culture, the community they live
A. 1. Partnerships with families and communities support shared responsibility for children’s learning, development, and wellbeing. – I believe this is a breach of the code because knowing that children can understand this sort of negativity can cause them to have set backs which would not honour the parent’s wishes or the child’s development. 2. Respectful, responsive, and reciprocal relationships are central to children’s education.
Introduction In Ronald Takaki’s book, A Different Mirror: A History of Multicultural America, Takaki argues that despite the first slave codes emerged in the 1660’s, de facto slavery had already existed and provides evidence to support this claim. While he provides a range of data, these facts can be categorized in three groups: racial, economic, and historical. These groups served as precursors to what eventually led to slavery codes to be enacted and the beginning of one of the darkest chapters in American History. Racial
The article, Each Other’s Mirror by Jeanne Marie Laskas, surrounds the lives of two identical twin sisters, who live in complete synchronization of one another. I enjoyed reading this article since it captures an open-mind perspective on this identical sisters, Isobel and Elizabeth. It is interesting to see how these sisters appreciate their connectedness and enjoy their similarities rather than their differences. For example, on page 161, “Isobel: ‘Just like anybody else. We are just like anybody else.’
This is something that the Boys & Girls club of Lansing work with they work with families in different social context in which the family cultural variations in their family and how each family is dealing with their own social situation such as a divorce or a change in family. They work with all types of families as well as anything that the family is involved in such as the children’s education helping them with school. (NCFR p.3) Then there is human growth and development in understanding the changes that come with growing and know how to help with each stage, one of the things that they do for this is to get the age groups their own space having a seven to twelve space a ten to twelve space and a thirteen to seventeen space in which they can be they can be with others there same age and do things that are appropriate for their age while having a safe space for them to be in.

PART B: Teaching Resource Children’s book, Mirror, author Jeannie Baker. ‘There are two boys and two families in this book. One family lives in a city in Australia and one lives in Morocco, North Africa. The lives of the two boys and their families look very different from each other and they are different.

One of the principles used within the nursery is Article 12 on children's voices being heard. Within the Fife Council Nurseries a learning wall is created from what the children are talking about and learning giving any visitors and enriched sight of what the children are doing within their time at nursery. This is also very useful for any other professional’s that come into the nursery as the individual children can choose to show professional’s/parents/carers their work at any time. Thus aiding communication and reflection with all parties
Anti-discriminatory practice is to help support all work with children, young people and their families. It is important that settings promote anti-discriminatory practice by offering equality of opportunity and being inclusive to all children who attend the setting. Anti-discriminatory practice is also all about the implementation of the work settings equal opportunities policy in all aspects of the setting such as the curriculum which members of staff have to follow in order to plan, deliver and evaluate daily. It is important that members of staff in a work setting make sure that each individual child has an opportunity to take part and participate in all activities whether it is indoors or outdoors in order to achieve their learning potential of what is expected of them according to their age development. It is important that when working with children all members of staff and practitioners must have a
These extended projects, which involve a variety of jobs and tasks, are effective tools to allow for children to appreciate the experiences, diversity, and cultures of their peers (Katz & Chard, 2009, New & Kantor, 2009). During projects, the children come together to work on various tasks and research to accomplish a long-term project, such as researching and creating a class garden. Children work independently and in small groups to research and understand the topic and what it entails, and then the responsibilities attached with the project are divvied out. As children observe the different contributions of their class members, they become more aware of how each person can be an important contributor, regardless of their backgrounds. This promotes the child’s ability to empathize with others, a quality that is essential to healthy emotional and cognitive development.
As a teacher, it is my responsibility to share information on the development of the child and have a clear and constant flow of dialogue with the family. This will enable both parties to deal with any issues that may arise within the family, school or community. It also my belief that parents should have an active part in their child’s learning and be able to lend a hand whenever necessary, and having open communication with them will allow this transparency and connection between home and school. The community is vital in ensuring that the facilities around the community and school is appropriate for the different children and families to live in and grow. A very good example of this successful collaboration is the Reggio Emilia approach in Italy.
