Monday, April 19th Presentations

Hello everyone!

Thanks for the helpful advice, everyone. I will definitely use Malika and Emma's input for my research -- I never thought looking at private v.s. public differences. I will also definitely put some more true facts into my paper, as Colleen suggested.

For Jess and Lisa: again, I'm amazed by the high-level topics that our class has chosen. Jess, I would definitely keep focusing in on why it became necessary to start doing Co-Ed housing by looking at the positive and negatives; just make sure that you talk about positives and negatives for Co-Ed and Single-Sex each. It was a little confusing in class, but I'm sure you were going to do that anyway. I also like your idea about going chronologically in order to organize your paper -- but also talk about the future if you do so. Lisa's topic was very interesting and close to me since I have a sibling with disabilities. The steps he had to take and the assistance he got through schooling definitely helped, and he took plenty of classes with other regular students throughout his high school career. It sounds though that you may want to look for one or two more sources that emphasize why teachers have more impact than the actual student in their inclusion or lack thereof. Multiple sources that report similar findings, such as the teachers who don't work well with each other, will make a strong point for your paper and help you answer all of your questions.

Again, great job, everyone! I look forwards to Wednesday.

Also, if you are still interested in seeing that video, just for kicks: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj3iNxZ8Dww.
