Don’t Know Much About History


Kliebard identifies four interest groups in the struggle to control or modify the subject organization of the American curriculum (see the preface to the 3rd edition, p. x). He also confesses to confusion as to ?how to treat the towering figure of John Dewey? (see the preface to the 1st edition, p. xix) in that struggle. After you read the Kliebard text in its entirety, you must answer the “performance” question of how to illustrate your new knowledge about American curriculum history. In that illustration, you MUST
identify the four interest groups,
provide insight into the organization of the curriculum sought by the groups,
consider the socio-political and economic presses or factors that influenced the organization sought, and
compare and contrast Dewey?s notions about the organization of the curriculum with each of the interest groups. Please consult the additional information about Dewey (PDF file in week one) as needed to support your comparison and contrast.
You might consider:
1. a narrative of a dinner party with particular individuals invited from different periods with the topic of conversation about American curriculum;
2. a play about the struggles that the American curriculum has been through;
3. an epic poem that deals with the continuing traditional-progressive tensions throughout American curricular history; or
4. a “classic” comic book that illustrates the history of the American curriculum.

How does each theory affect the approach to social change within the selected institution?
Within the Sociological institution selected, how does each theory affect the views of society?

“The Spiral Road: Change in a Chinese Village through the Eyes of a Communist Party Leader” by Huang Shu-min.


A book review on "The Spiral Road: Change in a Chinese Village through the Eyes of a Communist Party Leader" by Huang Shu-min.
The point of a book review is to summarize the book’s argument, main points, and significance to a given area of study (in this case, world history since 1945). It should NOT be a page-by-page or chapter-by-chapter description of the book. Remember, I have read the book. I know what it says. I want to see whether YOU understand what it is about.
A book review should answer the following questions:
1) Who is the author (name and professional background)?
2) What is the author’s main argument? What is he or she trying to prove?
3) What are the author’s main points? What points does he or she make to prove his argument?
4) What kinds of sources or evidence does the author present to support his or her points and argument?
5) What did you learn from reading the book? What does the book tell you about China, communism, and/or world history since 1945?
6) Do you like the book (is the author’s argument convincing)? Why or why not?

Method Analysis and Critique



Method Analysis & critique Guidelines:
- critique ( The Direct method ) in teaching in detail.
Must include:
1- think about the history, general features, and
some questions like "why was the method developed for whom?,"
etc. (just one paragraph)
2- Analyze positive and negative characteristics of the method
(This WILL require additional research outside of the class
readings because the textbooks do not cover Methods in detail.)
3- add what the negative/positive features mean
to you and your (future) class.
4- Describe how the features of the method are relevant to the
effectiveness in a classroom and your lesson.
5- Focus more on the practical perspectives. How will you use
this method when you develop a lesson? You may want to think
about how you can use the strong points to make your lesson
effective. You may also want to think about the ways to minimize
the weaknesses of the method.

The “naturali_stic”-sirnulating the “natVu/i;al” way in which children learn first
languages-approaches of Gouin and a few of his contemporaries did not take hold
immediately. A generation later, applied linguistics finally established the credibility
of such approaches. Thus it was that at the turn of the century, the Direct Method
became quite widely known and practiced.
The basic premise of the Direct Method was similar to that of Gouin’s Series
Method, namely, that second language learning should be more like first language
learning-lots of oral interaction, spontaneous use of the language, no translation
““between”first and second languages, and little or no analysis of grammatical rules.
Richards and Rodgers (2001 , p. 12) summarized the principles of the Direct Method:
Classroom instruction was conducted exclusively in the target language._
2. Only everyday vocabulary and sentences were taught. ‘ CM
3. Oral communication skills were built up in a carefully traded progression
organized around question-and-answer exchanges between teachers and
students in small, intensive classes.
4. Grammar was taught inductively.
S. New teaching points were taught through modeling and practice.
6. Concrete vocabulary was taught through demonstration, objects, and pictures;
abstract vocabulary was taught by association of ideas.
7. Both speech and listening comprehension were taught.
8. Correct pronunciation and grammar were emphasized.
