...1. This video talks about play dates with special needs children. He gives excellent advice on how to set these play dates up. Some children with special needs view their household as there head domain. So first few play dates need to be in a neutral spot, like the park. This allows both children to interact in a setting there not used to. Richard Lavoie also speaks about age difference and how it is ok to have an age gap between the children. Any toys that you child that is possessive of should be taken away for that day. After the play day touch base with your child ask them how it went talk about situations that could have been done differently. 2.

...This Is Our Youth is a play written by Kenneth Lonergan. The play is set in March of 1982 in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. There are only three characters in this play: Dennis Ziegler, Warren Straub, and Jessica Goldman. The three are college aged and all hail from wealthy families. Dennis is a drug dealer and the majority of the play takes place in his apartment. Warren idolizes Dennis and comes to his apartment after hastily stealing $15,000 from his business mogul father. Dennis and his girlfriend leave to go buy some drugs from their friend Stuey, while Warren foolishly spends exorbitant amounts of money and books a room at the Plaza Hotel where he seduces his date, Jessica, into spending the night with him. Stuey overdoses on drugs and dies, causing Dennis and Warren to reflect on their choices, but they ultimately continue down the same path of drugs and self destruction. Throughout the course of the play, Dennis’s lack of character development is revealed in his interactions and relationships with others. There was a huge increase in the birth rate as World War II came to a close and the men returned...

...4/11/2016 Purdue OWL Welcome to the Purdue OWL This page is brought to you by the OWL at Purdue (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/). When printing this page, you must include the entire legal notice at bottom. Contributors:Elyssa Tardiff, Allen Brizee. Summary: This resource describes why outlines are useful, what types of outlines exist, suggestions for developing effective outlines, and how outlines can be used as an invention strategy for writing. Four Main Components for Effective Outlines Ideally, you should follow the four suggestions presented here to create an effective outline. When creating a topic outline, follow these two rules for capitalization: For firstlevel heads, present the information using all uppercase letters; and for secondary and tertiary items, use upper and lowercase letters. The examples are taken from the Sample Outline handout. Parallelism—How do I accomplish this? Each heading and subheading should preserve parallel structure. If the first heading is a verb, the second heading should be a verb. Example: I. CHOOSE DESIRED COLLEGES II. PREPARE APPLICATION ("Choose" and "Prepare" are both verbs. The present tense of the verb is usually the preferred form for an outline.) Coordination—How do I accomplish this? All the information contained in Heading 1 should have the same significance as the information contained in Heading 2. The same goes for the subheadings (which should be less significant than the headings)...

...Consulting Case Memo -- Outline Executive Summary While this section appears first, it should actually be the last thing you write. * The executive summary should be no more than one page. * Executive summaries are not “introductions.” They do not provide background. * Everything discussed in the executive summary should be explained in greater detail in the body of the memo. * If the only thing someone reads is your executive summary, your reader should have a good understanding of the problem, your proposal, the most important cost(s), and the most important benefit(s). Problem Statement Identify the problem in business terms. State clearly why the owner, president, or CEO should care about addressing the problem you’ve identified. Proposed Solution Identify the one most important action the company or organization needs to take to address the problem. Be as specific as possible in describing your solution. Costs of the Proposal Be as inclusive as possible when thinking about costs. Consider things like opportunity costs and the impact of the proposed change on the organization’s culture in addition to the more obvious financial costs. Identify every possible objection to your proposal. Why hasn’t the company already taken this step? The quickest way to have your recommendation rejected is to hear an objection to which you must reply, “I hadn’t thought of that.” Benefits of the Proposal How will your specific proposal address the problem you’ve...

...Sun uses setting, symbolism, and word choice in the play “No Child” to critique the state of schools and the No Child Left Behind Act. The setting was a significant part of the play because it represented the way society viewed these students. The students are viewed as convicts. On a daily basis the students have to go through a thorough search in order to enter the school. The Janitor states, “Seventeen feet below my very own, lay one hundred-thousand-dollar worth of a security system” (p.5). This type of treatment informs the students that society believes that they are criminals. The security offices states, “Girl, girl! Whatcha ti’ink dis is? You can’t go in wifoot goin’ tru da detector open your arms, spear your legs” (p.13). Suns inform the reader on her position regarding this matter. The janitor states “Your tax dollars at work!” (p.13). Instead of spending money on a fancy security system the money should be used to provide children a high quality education....

...This play is up there with the strangest things I’ve ever read. The story is about two pre-teens and a talking sheep that build a ‘two-speed’ clock that transports them to a planet called ‘Crestview’. All in all it is a fine setting for a wacky low grade comedy. Their goal is simple enough. Binky, Bob and Vivian need to get home in time for lunch or Bob’s mother is going to be furious. The antagonist was immediately recognisable as the evil dictator of the planet. When he discovers that the trio is from earth he keeps them prisoner on the planet. The two humans await execution by way of a giant pumpkin guillotine while Bob the sheep is to be sheared and made into a sweater. There are no sheep on Crestview, just Pandas. They children (and sheep)...

...The play Kamau by Alani Apio exhibits a very strong example of the dramatic difference between the ways that local and non-local people view the value of land. The main character Alika is much attached to the land that his family has lived on for years, as the land has become their undeniable home. However, Alika’s boss, Jim, is employed at a company that has just bought the land that Alika and his family live on and plans to build a resort in place of Alika’s home. The land in question has two very different meanings to two very different people. The struggle and fight over land between locals and non-locals is a major issue that is focused on in the play Kamau. The play itself touches on more than simply Alika’s family losing the land they’ve made into a home, but the main events of the play are set in motion as a result of Alika getting the news from Jim that he has to move his family out of their home within a matter of months. He learns that the land...

...1. Beth used the power play “you got to be kidding,” when she laughs at his suggestion of visiting the doctor as a family. In this power play, Beth is not acting out of surprise. She is trying to show how ridiculous Calvin was to suggest it. Calvin refused to become angry, as he stayed calm and elaborated. Beth again shot him down. She repeats his statement of the doctor thinking the group therapy would be a good idea in an incredulous voice, adding to the “You got to be kidding” method. By asking questions, she expressed the want to keep everything the same. “Don’t try to change me, Calvin. I don’t want any more changes in my life.” Following this, Beth proceeds to hint at the recent family troubles and concludes them to be enough change....
