This document discusses how different age groups are represented in media. It notes that after gender and ethnicity, age is the most common way people are stereotyped. It then examines stereotypes of teenagers as yobbish or involved in gangs/crime, and of older people as poor, fussy, or senile. The document suggests these representations are socially constructed to justify social control. It analyzes how moral panics over youth groups can influence legislation and media texts that perpetuate stereotypes like EastEnders character Martin Fowler.
This lesson plan aims to teach reading to students with learning disabilities using technology. It involves reviewing a song about Frosty the Snowman, discussing the song in groups and as a class, using Audacity software for students to record themselves, and completing homework that includes a quiz and defining vocabulary from the song in a Google Doc.
This document discusses representations of disabilities in media. It begins with asking the reader to consider different types of disabilities and define disability. It then asks the reader to think of recent media that includes disabled characters and how they are portrayed. Common stereotypical portrayals of disabled characters as pitiable, victims, sinister, objects of curiosity, triumphant heroes, laughable, aggressive avengers, burdens, non-sexual, or incapable of everyday life are listed. The document encourages thinking about how to represent disabilities using "micro elements" and analyzing a video clip using a Point-Evidence-Explain structure to discuss representation of disabilities in media.

The document discusses learning disabilities and provides strategies for supporting those with learning disabilities. It begins by listing famous individuals who had learning disabilities and then defines learning disabilities as difficulties with reading, writing, spelling, calculating, remembering and organizing information that are not related to intelligence and cannot be cured but can be treated. It provides examples of specific learning disabilities like dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia. The rest of the document offers tips, strategies and accommodations to help students with learning disabilities, including changing attitudes, focusing on behavior over diagnosis, preserving self-esteem, having patience, making learning enjoyable, using rewards, addressing individual learning styles, allowing extra time on tests, and never giving up on students.
The document provides an examiner's report on student responses to a question analyzing representations of ability and disability in a TV drama extract. It summarizes that:
1) Most students were able to analyze how the extract represented the disability of the character Ben and his relationship with his able-bodied brother David.
2) Stronger students provided an integrated analysis linking different technical elements like camerawork and sound, while weaker students struggled to balance description with analysis.
3) Students generally demonstrated understanding of how the extract positioned the audience in relation to ability and disability in the sibling relationship.
The document discusses how technical codes are used in the TV drama "Coming Down the Mountain" to construct representations of disability. It instructs the reader to view an extract from the drama three times, focusing on different technical codes each time: narrative, camera techniques and mise-en-scene, and editing and sound techniques. The purpose is to analyze how these technical codes contribute to the representation of disability in the extract.
Illiteracy is defined as the inability to read or write, affecting many people around the world. Common causes of illiteracy include poverty, learning disabilities, and lack of literacy within the family. Effects of illiteracy are difficulty interacting with others, inability to follow instructions, and lack of safety awareness. Solutions proposed are establishing special schools and teachers for illiterates, teaching parents to read so they can teach their children, and creating special educational programs.
A weather disturbance is a pulse of energy moving through the atmosphere, typically mid or upper atmospheric troughs of low pressure embedded in general wind flows. Key weather disturbances include tropical cyclones, which are intense circular storms over warm oceans with low pressure, high winds and heavy rain; tornadoes, which are small violently rotating columns of air from convective clouds touching the ground; cyclones, which are large low pressure systems with circulating winds and rain or snow; and storms, which are violent disturbances with low pressure, clouds, strong winds, and precipitation that often form from low pressure areas.
The document discusses lesson planning and its importance. It provides guidance on what to include in a lesson plan such as aims, stages of a lesson, procedures, and learning aims. It describes the different stages as warmup, contextualization, vocabulary presentation, language input, controlled practice and freer practice. It emphasizes planning aims, considering student engagement, study and activation, and including objectives, notes and feedback.
This is my slide deck from my session at the North Carolina Reading Conference last week in Raleigh, NC. I do staff development to schools and districts all over the country about best practices in literacy instruction. This topic is one of my most requested.
