historical art periods

historical art periods


Paper instructions:
Task:

A. Choose two art periods from the list above and write an essay (suggested length of 3–5 pages) in which you do the following:
1. Describe the earlier historical art period, characteristics of the style, and social conditions that may have contributed to the advent of this style.





2. Describe the later historical art period, characteristics of the style, and social conditions that may have contributed to the advent of this style.
3. Analyze the relationship between the historical art periods.
a. Explain similarities or differences between the historical art periods.
b. Explain the purpose for continuing the tradition of the earlier historical art period or deviating from it.
1. Reference at least one specific work of art from each period in your discussion.
2. Explain how the later work relates to the earlier work.
c. Explain the influence the later historical art period had on the art world (i.e., its historical significance).

Note: You should assume that your audience has a basic knowledge of the art periods. You will want to identify both periods in your essay and describe the art periods (time periods, characteristics, and social conditions that may have contributed to the advent of the styles of the period), but you will want to do so in a way that will allow your readers see how the descriptions support your thesis concerning the relationship between the two art periods.

B. When you use sources, include all in-text citations and references in APA format.

Problem with research project


Problem with research project


Hello, I'm doing research on "father's involvement and children's education". In my research request form I mentioned "Fathers' involvement will be identified by the data outcomes of father-child interactions and children's academic success will be identified by the data outcomes of children's academic achievement including their school attendance, average grades, suspensions, subject failures, etc." But my teacher said I need clarify "definitions of what determines the level of parental involvement and what determines the level of child achievement."

I do not understand because I still think that I clarified them two. Can you tell me what is wrong and how to go about? I attached the questionnaire.

I need help on how to state an objective way to say if the child is achieving academically. I need definitions of what determines the level of parental involvement and what determines the level of child





achievement.

Mobile learning

Mobile learning


Mobile learning

Typically, m-learning is identified both by being available ?anywhere, anytime? (Geddes, 2004) and by the tools used: mobile learning can perhaps be defined as ?any educational provision where the sole or dominant technologies are handheld or palmtop devices? (Traxler, 2005), although in reality it is more usually confined to being one aspect of the provision. For our purposes, then, ?mobile learning? refers to learning mediated via handheld devices and potentially available anytime, anywhere. Such learning may be formal or informal.? (p.273)
Kukulska-Hulme, A. and Shield, L. (2008) ‘An overview of mobile assisted language learning: From content delivery to supported collaboration and interaction’, ReCALL, 20, (03), pp. 271-289. (p.273)

What are the advantages and disadvantages of mobile devices for language learning? How might they be used, either as supplements to classwork, or in class? What is better done with mobile devices and what with desktops? What evidence is there of the way different kinds of mobile technology can be used, of the different kinds of activity that can usefully be carried out with mobile computers, and of practical issues that may need to be tackled?
Discuss the application to language learning of one of the topics on the module (the one above)
The main aims of this assignment are for you to demonstrate that you:
? are familiar with literature on the topic;
? have understood the potential (and possible drawbacks) of a particular technology for language learning and teaching;
? can explain why the use of the technology for language learning is appropriate in a particular context;
? are able to show how the technology can be incorporated into a language course or a language lesson.




One of the distinguishing features in the earlier films is the presence of video cameras and their low-resolution images that contrast with film images that seem more stable and permanent

  The goal of the project is to have you research a movie of your choice (cannot be a film shown in class whic...
