DISCUSSION ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
Part 1. The student will post one thread of at least 300 words
Part 2. The student must then post 2 replies to the discussion posts I have attached of at least 150 words by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday.
For each thread, students must support their assertions with at least 2 scholarly
sources and a biblical scripture or principle with in-text APA citations for both as well as an
APA reference list at the end. Each reply must incorporate 1 scholarly source and 1 biblical
scripture or principle with in-text APA citations for both as well as an APA reference list at the
end. Acceptable sources include the textbook, peer-reviewed publications, and the Bible.
Each student will create a bibliotherapy intervention/ curriculum (for a parent and a teacher) to increase the use of empathic socially practical programs in the child’s school and home. The sample curriculum should be based on a book from children’s literature (Prek-8th grade), and the intervention created should be related to the book theme and should be reflected in the activities embedded in the curriculum. This created curriculum intervention should include things relevant for individuals/or groups, families/ parents, and teachers. Please consider developmental, cognitive, and emotional factors when selecting the activity/ directive. Also remember that you want to see if your intervention is working so also include a way to monitor client progress (data collection practices and tools) for the parent and the teacher when they implement your social-emotional literacy intervention. The curriculum should be written in a way that it can be completed by a teacher in the context of a school day and by the parent in the home.
Requirements for this assignment include:
A typed teacher Curriculum and a typed Parent Curriculum (both on the same book) use “Elmer the Elephant” book for both teacher and parent
A typed descriiption of the book being used (children’s literature), a youtube clip of the book being read, a picture of the book cover, teacher/ parent tips on reading the story, classroom play-based activities that can be done daily to enhance the book theme and message (Art activity, movement activity, circle time activity), and similarly for the parent curriculum activities and games that can be done in the home to enhance learning about the books theme, and intervention and rationale for application (format for teacher and parent intervention descriiption will be provided a sample in CANVAS)
Materials needed to complete the activity in class and home (and handouts that can accompany the curriculum if needed)
– 2 pages for the teacher curriculum
– 2 pages for the parent curriculum
Use these sources and additional sources, can use the same sources for teacher and parent if it applies: can use more than 8 sources if needed there is no limit for the sources

I have also included a google doc file with additional information on Elmer the Elephant
I have also included a student example for the parent and teacher curriculum. It does not have to be as complicated as the example is. Just ensure the information is in there, I will handle the design piece of the assignment

Instructions
A weekly communication form is required to be submitted in the field practicum classroom through canvas, starting week one though week 16. This form includes an overview of hours performed and weekly learning opportunities linked to the learning plan and competencies. It is encouraged for students to share this weekly communication form with their field instructor as a helpful tool during supervision, however it is not required to share the complete form. Students must have their Field Instructor or in approved cases their task instructor sign on off on weekly hours. This form will also serve as a running time log for the number of hours completed within the field placement for the semester as well as the total number of hours for the entire practicum. The communication form is also an opportunity to voice any potential concerns about their agency or field instructor. This classroom instructor reads and comments on the communication form each week through Canvas. The form should be treated as part of student practitioner responsibilities for your agency practicum. The form is graded based on full completion, timeliness, task, activity, and agency reflections that are related to social work competencies.

Weekly Communication Form Completed Example
Respond to any TWO of the following prompts:
One of the primary arguments that the authors make is that “formal” organizations often hinder the development of lasting social transformation. In thinking about the case study that you read, how do the creation of formal organizations do this?
The authors claim that social transformations only occur during moments of structural unrest. Thinking about ONE of the case studies (one chapter), what were the structural factors that led to the movement?
What are some differences between TWO of the case studies? What are the interests of the oppressors that might explain these similarities? That is, how are the oppressions faced by different marginalized groups still in the interest of the oppressor?
What are some differences between TWO of the case studies? What do you think attributed to these differences? How can the idea of “intersectionality” help us think about these differences?
The authors claim that during “normal times,” the interests of the political and economic elites merge. In thinking about your own social transformation project, how do the interests of the political and economic elite merge to create the problem you want to address?
In thinking about your own social transformation project, what is a “formal” organization that is currently attempting to address the problem and what is one of their major policy push? BRIEFLY discuss this policy push within the framework used by the authors. If there are no “formal” organizations attempting to address this problem, BRIEFLY discuss (again using the framework used by the authors) why such an organization might not exist.
Using the framework used by the authors, is a “mass movement” that specifically addresses the problem that you are examining possible? BRIEFLY discuss why or why not.
For this week, we will be reading Poor People’s Movement by Frances Fox Piven and Richard A. Cloward to provide us with a new paradigm in thinking about social movements. (I will attach the a copy of the full book in the attachments.)
Module 6 Objectives:
LO1 – To examine a large scale effort that once had wide-spread support and assess why the effort has not been very successful.
LO2 – To begin making connections between a “real world” social transformation effort and the theories, concepts, ideas covered in class.
Based on Article

The Reflection Assignments are to be written in first-person with reference to the content assigned in the class and the assigned article. They should be no less than one and half pages long.
Research paper on a selected type of a natural or human-made disaster. You can choose to do this with up to two other people. This assignment will help you learn more about a specific type of disaster. Here are the expectations and needed content [total possible points, adding up to 40%]]:
Pick a natural disaster or human-made mass casualty event (e.g., hurricane, flood, earthquake; bombing, shooting). Title the paper accordingly.
Section heading: Disaster Type. Describe the type of disaster, its characteristics, how often it has occurred over the last number of years, and where (no more than two pages!). [9 points]
Section heading: Psychosocial Issues/Concerns. Describe the kinds of psychosocial issues/concerns faced by survivors and responders of this event. It might help if you focus on a specific population and/or a vulnerable group (e.g., children, older adults, special needs). Please make sure you include discussion about cultural factors. [9 points]
Section heading: Effective Intervention(s). What are 2 or 3 effective interventions in working with survivors of this disaster? Provide recent (no more than 10 years old) research evidence that indicates that they are effective for psychosocial issues specific to the disaster your paper is about. Again, keep in mind cultural factors. [points]
Apply social work values and ethics in as many sections as possible [3 points]. The paper should be 8-12 pages [3 points] with at least five peer-reviewed scholarly citations to journals [3 points]. Use strict APA format.
HEAT WAVES not counted as natural disasters.
