PART 1- respond to the prompt below.

Prompt: According to inflation calculators, $30,000 in 1950 would be equivalent to $322,532.37 today. So here’s the question. Would you rather live on a fixed income of $30,000 today, or in 1950?

In your response, please consider multiple factors in making this decision, and be as detailed as possible in the reasoning behind your choice. Your mind will come to some immediate pros and cons, but as you further consider this choice, you will hopefully dig deeper into what it would really mean to transport yourself to 1950.

Also, feel free to ask and analyze questions leading up to making this decision. Often questions can be as enlightening as the answers. And as you respond, think about your response as a way to express yourself and let your classmates better understand who you are.

PART 2- respond back to 2 of your classmates response to part 1s question

First classmates

In 1950, the economy was flourishing with low inflation rates and high wages, resulting in increased spending in the middle class. Although having a fixed income of $30,000 in 1950 would lead to a more comfortable lifestyle than having a fixed income of $30,000 today, which is barely enough money to survive, I would not want to give up what I have right now. Of course having more money means you get to live more comfortably, but it makes you greedier and it always makes you wish you could have more. Only making $30,000 today would be very stressful, especially if you have to support other people. However, there are other ways in which people can find happiness. In today’s society, with technology, there are better ways to reach out to people and ask for help. When feeling upset or discouraged, we can reach out to family, friends, and even a therapist. Today, we are allowed to be more expressive and comfortable with who we are. Living in 1950 would mean giving up a lot of what makes me happy. I do not value money enough to give up the lifestyle I have today, and therefore, I would much rather have a fixed income of $30,000 today.

This prompt created a conflict in my mind. I was not sure which way to go. I’m from El Salvador and my first question was would I be a United States citizen or my nationality would still be Salvadorian? This Basically helped me to conclude that even though I’m an old school I would rather live in 2020. I know its a lot of money, however during the 1900 in El Salvador there was a movement that was starting to gain power which turned in to a Civil War. During civil war it would not matter if you had money or not. A lot of innocents die due to the conflict and I think I would probably being one of them. Also If I consider living in the United States during that time period there was a lot going on. Even though woman were enlist for world word II woman were still limited to what they could do and considered a second class. I would not like to live in a place were I’m treated different just because I’m a woman. I also think the way that my personality is I would probably had got myself in trouble fighting for equality. I do not think money is worth enough to change what I have, my experiences and memories. I think we learn to live with what we have and for me I’m comfortable with my income.

Romantic literature dominated American arts and letters up until the end of the 19th century. In “Fenimore Cooper’s Literary Offences” Twain discusses how Cooper’s writing fails because Cooper’s writing focuses more on imagination than on any sort of logic or realistic depictions.

How does Twain avoid these “literary offences” in “The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County” and why is this avoidance significant?

The purpose of this assignment is to research, evaluate, and understand valid, reliable, fair, and appropriate assessment tools used in schools to screen, diagnose, and measure student academic achievement. There are 2 Assessment Evaluation assignments in the course, each with a different focus. They are:

1. LITERACY FOCUS, which all candidates complete (Assessment Evaluation: Reading)

2. CONTENT FOCUS*, which is specific to your degree program.

*Assessment Evaluation: Behavioral, Remediation, or Intervention

.

Special education candidates will complete an intervention evaluation with a focus on reading or behavior.

Note: Be sure to complete the correct focus area for Assessment Evaluation: Behavioral, Remediation, or Intervention.

Since education assessment instruments are costly and not listed in the course materials, this assignment consists of researching and evaluating assessment instruments. If your school has any education kit(s) discussed in this assignment, you are permitted to review the testing materials on your own, however, this task is not required. A citation would be included on the reference page.

Specific Guidelines for the Assessment Evaluations

Step 1 Research

1. Select 4 instruments from the Approved Assessment Instruments List. (See separate document.)

2. Using Buros Mental Measurements, examine 4 measurement studies or measurement reviews about the existing measures from the Approved Assessment Instruments List. There should be 4 assessments reviewed for both Assessment Evaluation assignments (8 total).

3. Critically analyze the measures, addressing strengths and weaknesses. There is a data collection template provided to ease the process of collecting information. This template is submitted with the assignment. Each critical analysis should include the following:

A Summary of the assessment instrument with clear, specific information unique to the instrument, including the population who could be tested with the instrument.

An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the measure. There must be a minimum of 2 reasons to support each one.

Justification for why the measurement would be an appropriate measure for different populations.

4. Repeat #3 for each of the 4 instruments.

5. Use a separate data collection template for each instrument. Save each as a Microsoft Word document labeled: instrumentname.doc

NOTE: When submitting the evaluation, these separate templates must be compiled, along with all other items, into 1 Word document.

6. Other resources for research are listed in the syllabus and may be used in addition to Buros. If using the testing instrument manual, list it in the references. Buros is directly accessible through the JLF library database for your convenience.

Step 2 Written Report

1. Organize and format each assessment instrument with the headings and subheadings outlined below. Do not write the questions or statements from the data collection template. Write in well-formed paragraphs that flow logically from one topic to the next.

2. Each instrument review should contain a minimum of 2 pages of content, including the data collection template, in addition to the cover page and reference page. Format the paper in current APA. The data collection template will be used as a chart in the report at the end of each instrument review.

3. The total paper (10 pages) should be presented in this order:

Title Page (1 page)

8 Pages of Content

o Assessment Evaluation (AE) 1

o Completed AE 1 template

o AE 2

o Completed AE 2 template

o AE 3

o Completed AE 3 template

o AE 4

When was the last time you read Meditation XVII of John Donne’s Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions?
Unless you are a student of seventeeth-century poetry, you may not be all that familiar with this piece. However, you may be much more familiar with one of its well-known phrases: No man is an island….
