Teaching Reading in English as an Additional Language

2000 word essay. On the basis of the critical analysis you wrote in part 1, you should design a lesson plan for developing an aspect of learners reading abilities (e.g. vocabulary/fluency/expository skills/critical literacy skills/reading motivation etc.). Your lesson plan should be accompanied by a commentary, outlining how theory and research have informed the lesson plan.  You should attach the lesson plan to assist illustrations (the lesson plan will be included in the final word count, but additional materials such as worksheets/textbook samples etc. will not).
In designing your lesson plan, you should:
o    Identify the theories that will frame your design
o    Consider how the research critique you wrote in part 1 will inform your design.
In writing your commentary, you should:
o    Clearly indicate the rationale behind the lesson stages, drawing on reading theories and research to justify your decisions.
o    Critically analyse potential issues that may arise and reflect on how you would monitor these and respond to them (e.g. in a mixed ability class (as most are), how will you ensure that the individual needs of your learners are met, while also meeting curriculum goals?).

Discussion Board Responses

The original discussion board was this: Your Project Sponsor and customer are impressed with your project schedule, but due to some factors out of their control, youve been told to deliver your project early, roughly 15% earlier than anticipated. Using the information from the readings, explain how you would go about assessing the possibility of delivering your project early. How will that affect scope, costs, and schedule?

Please respond to these 2 posts by using 130 to 140 words per response. Your response posts should add some additional thoughts and allow for greater discussion.

First post to respond to:

Requests to deliver a project early are more out of the ordinary than delays, but unforeseen circumstances pose risks to expedite some projects prematurely. In this situation, I would begin assessing overall project progression, resource, and personnel allocation, and re-evaluating the project budget to compensate for last-minute changes to the timeline of individual events. It is extremely important to grasp a full picture of the projects’ current status, and where resources and personnel should be focused to support successful project completion. There are many moving parts to the expansion of the business and its service extension, therefore some portions of the project will be forced to change entirely. The scope of the project is immediately transformed due to the alteration or replacement for budget, personnel, equipment, expedited building fees, and other associated costs that contribute to the increased budget that accompanies the change to the project timeline and execution.

Second post to respond to:

A project manager must realize how to quicken a schedule to make up for unexpected occasions that postpone critical exercises or to suit changes in the project’s culmination date. Packing or slamming the schedule are terms used to depict the different procedures used to abbreviate the project schedule. Project managers use a few strategies to keep projects on schedule. One strategy for quickening the schedule is to add exercises to the critical way that are vacant or that are discretionary. In the event that the project is delayed, the time can be made up by dropping these exercises. This additional time that is incorporated with the schedule is called possibility time, support, or save time.

Exercises that are not on the critical way that has free buoy can be deferred without postponing the end date of the project on the off chance that they start by the poor start date. Project managers can redirect a few assets from exercises with a free buoy to exercises in a critical way without deferring the culmination of the project. A free float can be utilized to postpone noncritical exercises that utilization a similar asset to dispense its time all the more uniformly. In the event that it is important to quicken the schedule, exercises that are not on the critical way can be deferred utilizing their free float and their assets can be moved to exercises on the critical way to finish them sooner.

Accounting

OCA-COLA used equity method and cost method (EMI) for investment of its bottling companies. As discussed in class, equity method investment is different from fair value method.  This question explores the practice of EMI accounting. 

1. Does equity method investment and cost method investment help COKE to show better operating performance? Keep in mind that in the Q1-Q8, we have assumed EMI and cost method investment (bottlers) part of operating. Coke relationship to EMI and cost method inv is special since the one product is made by them. Therefore, compared to others, Cokes EMI and cost method inv can be viewed as operating more frequently. Therefore, the assumption is justified. But the reality of it is that COKE has limited influence on the bottlers. In this case, this can be viewed as financial, or at least, it is not part of core activities. Core activities are when you exclude EMI and cost method in operating. 

In sum, compare the results in Q1-Q8 when EMI and cost method inv are not operating, isolate the relevant performance measures of EMI and cost method investment, and assess their impact on operating performance. Show your process clearly. 

2. Should COKE consolidate? This would be complex to analyze, therefore, I am looking for the direction of solutions, suggestions, and approximated results, not full blown solution (which is impossible)

Week 8 Discussion 1 LEG 100

The responsibility of the directors of a corporation is to provide a return to shareholders on their financial investment in the corporation; in other words, shareholders expect to make money on their investment. Corporations such as Facebook, Google, and Apple are financed through the sale of billions and billions of dollars in shares purchased by investors. Sometimes, however, the duty to maximize profits runs contrary to legal, but still questionable, business opportunities.

Assume that youre the director of one of the corporations listed below and have been presented with the business opportunity described in the scenario. Would you advise the corporation to accept the opportunity? Make sure to fully explain your answer, considering both the financial return expected and any related ethical concerns.

ToyCo has just been informed that its wooden trains produced in China contain lead paint and can no longer be sold in the United States. However, a distributor offers to negotiate a deal with a foreign company to sell the trains in a South American country that has no laws addressing the presence of lead paint in childrens toys.
BabyHealth is seeing decreasing sales of its powdered infant formula in the United States due to more and more mothers choosing to breastfeed their babies. In an effort to offset these losses, BabyHealth chooses to sell their formula in third-world countries. However, it is widely known that the water sources in these countries is often contaminated and not boiled prior to use.
