This  week’s assignment is worth double points.  Please watch this famous  movie “The Battle of Algiers” carefully.  It’s in French, so you need to  click “closed captions” and select “English” for subtitles.  The film  is incredible significant and depicts the Algerian people’s struggle to  decolonize from the French after news of the famous battle of Dien Bien  Phu and the success of Vietnamese freedom fighters.  
As you watch the movie, pay careful attention to and take notes on the following:
Ali La Pointe (The main character, a simple, illiterate Algerian  villager whose awakening and understanding of French oppression  represents the awakening of the Algerian people)
The French General and his use of torture, violent intimidation, and brutal crackdowns
The role of terrorism
How the French broke the Algerian revolutionaries
The reasons for the ultimate success of the revolution
Role of women
Role of Islam as unification force, plus secular aspect of the revolutionaries
Role of the media/global fallout
Write a summary with specific personal reaction, details, and  insight on these topics mentioned above.  Tie it to the broader  decolonization and liberation movements, like Vietnam.
Algeria was not a French “colony” in the sense that Vietnam was.  It  was considered a French “state” like Hawaii or Alaska is to the US.   There were several million French people living in Algeria and  exploiting the local population, using the land, resources, etc.  Those  people didn’t want France to leave Algeria and even threatened violence  in France to stop the departure from Algeria. The Algerian  revolutionaries were intellectuals (modern, sophisticated, understanding  the global issues).  They wanted a SECULAR Algeria, free and  independent.  
The French engaged in SEVERE torture of Algerians for many years.

Q1
 
When  you are faced with criminal prosecution, you could take your case to  trial, or if offered, accept a plea bargain in exchange for a guilty  plea. However, going to trial can be risky since the fate of that trial  is in the hands of a jury, which will decide guilt or innocence.  Most  defendants will accept a plea agreement rather than taking the risk of a  jury trial. 
Explain  a few of the pros and cons of plea bargaining for the defense attorney,  prosecution, judge, and of course, the defendant? 
Use the words “Frankenstein” and “banana” in the summary
In your opinion, are some defendants coerced into accepting a plea deal? Explain why/why not 
Q2
 
The  correctional system has the responsibility of supervising offenders  sentenced for their crimes. This includes both incarcerated offenders,  as well as offenders serving sentences in the community. To reduce our  nation’s overcrowded prisons, the courts have been challenged with  sentencing offenders to the community in lieu of going to prison using  Intermediate Sanctions, otherwise known as alternative sanctions.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of sentencing individuals to house arrest with GPS monitoring? 
Should those convicted of sexual offenses be precluded from being sentenced to house arrest with GPS monitoring? Explain.

It is important to use progress monitoring tools to track student progress during remediation and intervention instruction. This data allows educators to see the effectiveness of the strategies being implemented and is used to make decisions on whether the instruction needs to change, fade, or continue. It is essential to collaborate and communicate with various stakeholders, including families.
Part 1: Collaborating to Make Intervention Decisions
Imagine you have been implementing interventions and progress monitoring students for the last nine weeks. The goals of the intervention are to increase students’ percentile rankings to 50. You are preparing to meet with the RTI team to review specific students’ intervention data to make instructional decisions.
Using the “2nd Grade Literacy Scores,” create a 200-250 word summary  for each student to use at the RTI review meeting. Include the following in each student’s summary:
An initial summary and analysis of the progress monitoring data.
Two questions to consider about each student’s progress monitoring data.
Recommendations for instructional next steps (e.g., continue with intervention, change the intervention, or fade the current intervention), including an explanation of how the data supports the instructional recommendation.
If recommending that intervention be added or continued, identify one individual goal based on the assessment data and describe steps to progress monitor the individual goal.
If recommending that intervention be added or continued, describe the developmentally appropriate intervention strategy that will be used to support the student’s instructional goal.
Explain how the student will track their progress and take ownership of their learning throughout intervention instruction.
Part 2: Reflection
In 250-350 words reflect on the process of reviewing data and preparing to collaborate with a team to make intervention decisions. Include the following in your reflection:
Explain how you can use technology to communicate student intervention information and progress appropriately, legally, and ethically to all stakeholders.
Discuss how your intervention recommendations meet each child’s learning needs.
Support your assignment with 3-5 scholarly resources. 

Reflection in Action: Cognition Development and Language Acquisition
Woven into your program are several themes and topics meant to enhance your learning experience and support your development as a professional who is capable of acting as a leader, thinker, visionary, and advocate.
In each course, there will be one reflection-in-action journal assignment that is designed to provide opportunities for you to reflect upon and assess your professional knowledge and skills. It is appropriate to write your journal entries in first person. See the Differences Between First and Third PersonLinks to an external site. for assistance.
The journal prompts have two parts. You will reflect upon and discuss each of the reflective questions in Part 1 and Part 2 outlined below.The following content areas are required for this assignment:

Part 1: Course/Program Reflection 

How does having a solid understanding of the theoretical frameworks related to cognitive and language development in children from birth to age three connect to what you have learned in other courses in this program?

Part 2: Career/Personal Reflection

How has your view of cognitive and language development frameworks, influences and referral, and intervention strategies for students with exceptionalities changed?
How will you advocate for the language and cognitive development needs of diverse learners based on the content acquired in this course?
In what way will you use the information in this class to help you create referral and intervention strategies for students with exceptionalities related to language and cognitive development, including family involvement?
