A Difficult Experience Analysis

The first child I choose was Jonah, who has the severe hearing impairment. The modifications that I would have to make in my environment would maybe to have words hanging around the room so I can point at them with him so he can understand me. The adaptations that I would have to make would be to learn sign language so that he can better understand me since he cannot hear. I would also to speak while I am doing the sign language so that the other students can understand me at the same time. In my Experience Plan, my first experience was the boot camp outside in a small area.
The modifications that I would have to make to the activity so that Jonah can participate in the activity would have to be using hand signals. Since he wouldn’t be able to hear me talk to him about how to overcome one of the obstacles, I feel that using a hand signals would benefit him more. I don’t see where I would have to change any of the obstacles since Jonah does not have a physical problem but only a hearing problem.

The reason why I say this because it could make her feel that she is going through the tunnel or even hold a blanket in the air and let her go under it. The modifications that I would have to do for the playdate would be to make sure that the other child understands not to mess with the wheelchair and that she can do the same things like you. I would make sure there is enough room for her to get to the other areas of the play area without any issue and have the toys on a low table so that Mariah and the other child can grab

    Adults can effectively support and extend the speech, language and communication development of children during early years by making learning fun and enjoyable and using games that require a lot of repetition and turn taking. Singing songs is another way and children don’t realise they are learning this way. Make sure you speak clearly and pronounce your letters and words correctly so children don’t get confused and can easily copy back to you. Always have a positive, friendly tone of voice, smile and use positive body language to encourage children to follow your example. Always give positive comments to children and try to encourage repeated good behaviour by rewarding them with things like stickers and team points so thy and others want to copy this behaviour.…

Because everyone experiences hardships in life, I can look at this quote and be reassured that I am not the only one with a certain problem, but I am also convinced that many people live through more severe events and therefore I can definitely withstand whatever life may give me. When I look at this quote, I recall all my past troubles and, more importantly, what I learned from those. The quote is similar in message to the “hang in there!”…

    In the article, "Common Fate, Different Experience: Gender-Specific Aspects of the Armenian Genocide, 1915-1917," writer Katharine Derderian argues how sexual violence and gender-specific acts were central aspects of the Armenian Genocide. Derderian explains how after the murder of the Armenian leadership and military, Ottoman authorities and Ittihadist supporters sent surviving Anatolia Armenians to the Syrian desert for extermination. During the ethnic cleansing, Armenian women faced intense violence due to females representing the “genetic and cultural continuity” of a group. Derderian states how rape, kidnapping, sex slavery, and forced marriages became tools for enforcing genocide on the Armenians. As a result, the gender-specific acts allowed the Ottoman authorities and Ittihadist supporters to destruct the integrity of the Armenians while isolating the female population from the group.…
