1. The well-known historian Simon Schama once quipped that “1794 was just 1789 with a higher body count.” By this he meant that something about the French Revolutionary was inherently bloody and radical from its beginnings. By his account the Reign of Terror was neither a corruption of the original Revolutionary vision nor the outcome of events such as civil and foreign war, but rather the inevitable outcome of events. Using Sieyes’s 1789 pamphlet “What is the Third Estate?” and Robespierre’s 1794 speech “Principles of Political Morality” speech, examine whether there is any truth in what Schama has said. After first explaining Seiyes and Robespierre’s different historical and ideological contexts, consider their areas of difference and/or similarity. Questions you may want to consider include: What similarities and differences do we see in terms of how the nation is conceived and the policies necessary to defend it? Who are the enemies and what must be done with them?

education is big business
Paper instructions:
The education profession is over riddled with clichés such as “education is big business,” “Education is a major user of the nation’s economic resources,” “Education is costing too much to the lower and middle class.” The challenge of distributing and spending tax revenues in an equal and fair manner is a challenge. Equity should not be considered synonymous with quality, as equality relates to treating everyone the same, whereas equity means treating one fairly. As Federal and State budgets are being reduced, as taxes are being held to a ceiling limit, revenue is not keeping up with the financial demands for running a school system. Despite these constant cuts and the impact on the school budgets across the nation, the issue of equality and equity are major concerns. To meet the challenge of funding schools equally, various patterns of financing education are emerging, but the fairness and equality is always an area of debate among taxpayers.

CREDE Standards Reflected in Instructional Strategies for ELLs
Reflect on the CREDE standards for effective pedagogy, as presented by Dr. Roland Tharp. These standards emphasize the importance of the student/teacher relationship, types of interactions students have in the classroom, and nature of the curricular materials. Creating what Dr. Tharp calls a "CREDE classroom" can ensure that all of your students, including ELLs, have high-quality learning experiences. Further, this week’s Learning Resources present a wide variety of specific instructional strategies you can employ to foster the academic achievement of ELLs in your classroom. Examine the strategies presented in the course text, 50 Strategies for Teaching English Language Learners, focusing specifically on how the approaches demonstrate the CREDE standards for effective pedagogy. Choose two strategies that you believe exemplify one or more of the CREDE standards, and think about how these strategies might be helpful for the students in your classroom.
With these thoughts in mind, follow the instructions below to post your response to this Discussion topic.
? Post a description of at least two strategies that you believe demonstrate one (or more) of the CREDE standards, explaining how you think the standard(s) can be met by using these strategies. Also, explain why you think these strategies will effectively support ELLs in your class and list any recommendations, questions, or concerns you might have for implementation.
