OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTATIONS:<\/p>\n
This assignment allows students to explore a topic of their choice (see below) and present that topic to the class through<\/p>\n
an online discussion post (written or video). Through their discussion post students will apply their skills in critical<\/p>\n
thinking, original analysis, and writing\/presentation. Students will strengthen their understanding of key course themes<\/p>\n
and major perspectives in the study of children\u2019s rights by connecting their discussion post and replies with the course<\/p>\n
material. Once students have posted their analysis, they will continue the discussion by replying\/commenting on at least<\/p>\n
two posts by their classmates.<\/p>\n
Choice of Topic:<\/p>\n
Students have a wide range of possible topics for this assignment. Most students find a brief web article or video on their<\/p>\n
topic and include this in their post for background information, but you may also reflect on a personal experience or<\/p>\n
choose a primary source that hasn\u2019t been analyzed by others (for example, an advertisement or poster in political<\/p>\n
campaign). You are not required to do any additional research, but if you need more background information you may use<\/p>\n
either online or scholarly articles. If you are using online articles for context or background information, be sure to be<\/p>\n
consider how reliable your source is and include this in your analysis.<\/p>\n
You should choose a specific debate or issue within a broader topic.<\/p>\n
(For example, instead of choosing \u201cchildren with disabilities\u201d as your topic, you\u2019d want to choose something more specific like \u201cHow<\/p>\n
are children in Canada advocating for inclusive schools for neurodiverse students?\u201d Remember, your analysis will be a concise<\/p>\n
discussion post, not an essay!)<\/p>\n
A strong topic typically meets all of the following criteria:<\/p>\n
1. You are interested in learning or thinking more about this issue.<\/p>\n
2. The issue is current (if you want to choose something more than 2 years old, just check with the professor first)<\/p>\n
3. It will lead to an interesting discussion with your classmates<\/p>\n
4. It is connected to the course in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n
5. Background information can be easily shared (through a link to a website, video, article etc) for readers to learn<\/p>\n
more.<\/p>\n
Some examples of broad topics that have been popular with past students include: Western media portrayal of children\u2019s<\/p>\n
rights activists like Greta Thunberg or Malala Yousafzai; Children challenging school policies like dress codes or police<\/p>\n
in schools; children\u2019s labour rights in the global economy; global movement of children through adoption, surrogacy, or<\/p>\n
trafficking; the impact of COVID 19 on children in Canada and around the world; disability and children\u2019s rights;<\/p>\n
discrimination faced by trans youth.<\/p>\n
This assignment is a great chance for students to bring something into the course that has been overlooked in the other<\/p>\n
course material.<\/p>\n
2<\/p>\n
Creating Your Post:<\/p>\n
There is no standard format or organization that you need to follow in your post, however, it should include the following<\/p>\n
in some way:<\/p>\n
\u2022 A link to the item\/issue you are discussing (unless you are choosing to reflect on a personal experience)<\/p>\n
\u2022 A very brief summary of the key issues raised<\/p>\n
\u2022 A critical analysis of the issue that includes connections to the course material (readings, lectures, videos)<\/p>\n
\u2022 In-text citations when ideas from the course are mentioned and all references listed in proper form (ASA\/APA) at<\/p>\n
the end of your post. (if you are creating a video, a reference list is sufficient)<\/p>\n
While the writing\/presentation should be advanced and professional, it is fine to use personal pronouns and include your<\/p>\n
own experience here- provided this is done appropriately.<\/p>\n
