Step 1: Write a rough draft of your essay and include it in this assignment. Please note that I am not reading these rough drafts, but I want to make sure that everyone has one written so that they can spend some time editing and revising. So a rough draft is part of this grade. (20 pts)
Step 2: Review the rubric for the essay, then answer each of the following questions. You must be specific; you can’t say “I reviewed the PowerPoint.” You also can’t say “I haven’t used one yet.” Your answer must clearly show that you know the rules.
Copy and paste your sentences that show that you’ve used the following components, then answer the questions. (25 points) Do not forget this part! Also, do NOT put your answers in quotes (except, of course, for answers 3 and 4 when you are including quotes). Highlighting your sentences in your rough draft for me to find does not fulfill this part of the assignment.
1. What is your creative title? How do you know you’ve written it correctly? (See Titles PowerPoint) Write the title with your answer.
2. How do you know the appositive is used and punctuated correctly? (See Appositives PowerPoint) Write your appositive with your answer.
3. How do you know you used the colon quote correctly? (See Varying Quotes PowerPoint) Write your colon quote with your answer.
4. How do you know you’ve used the embedded quote correctly? (See Varying Quotes PowerPoint) Write your embedded quote with your answer.
5. How do you know you’ve used the semicolon sentence correctly? (See semicolon section in textbook). Write your semicolon sentence with your answer.
The rough draft, questions, and sentences must be submitted on the same document. Rough draft on top, questions and sentences right below. (5 points for submitting on same document)
5 points for formatting your responses like the sample below.
Your answers to the questions should be formatted like this. (Note: Your sample on one line without quotation marks –unless actually designating a direct quote– and the answer to the question on the next line.)
1. What is your creative title? How do you know you’ve written it correctly? (See Titles PowerPoint)

Research has determined that explicit and systematic reading instruction is essential for students to become proficient readers, whether beginning readers, struggling readers, or high-performing students. Systematic instruction follows a logical sequence from beginning to progressively more advanced skills. Explicit instruction does not assume that children will learn the core components of reading on their own, but instead provides a controlled and supportive environment in which to learn the skills correctly the first time. These skills are taught through modeling, guided practice with immediate, corrective feedback, and sufficient repetition in multiple contexts to support mastery and automaticity, including differentiation to meet the needs of all learners.
View the videos, “Literacy Lesson First Grade” and “3rd Grade Main Idea Lesson.” Create a graphic organizer to compare and contrast how the two teachers used the following five components of effective literacy instruction:
Explicit instruction with modeling
Systematic instruction with scaffolding
Student practice with multiple opportunities
Assessment and progress monitoring
Feedback
Write a 250-500 word analysis addressing the following questions:
How was each lesson taught effectively?
How could modeling have been improved?
How did each teacher address exceptionalities (ELL, gifted and talented, special education) during the lessons?
How did each teacher scaffold the lesson to meet students’ various needs?
Support this assignment with 2-3 scholarly resources.

Based on Lecture 1, and the 4 news articles (PDFs), Buck 2012 (PDF), Sells 2007 (PDF) & Sachedina 2006 (PDF), answer the following questions in about 2 paragraphs each, or more, if specified by the prompt. A paragraph consists of about 5-7 sentences.
1) Based on the Module One lecture, explain what is meant by the “Muhammadi Revolution,” and then describe at least two changes that the Muhammadi Revolution brought to pre-Islamic Arabian society. After this, identify three points from the lecture that stood out to you. Make sure that these points come from different sections of the lecture as a way to demonstrate that you engaged with the entire lecture. Re-state these three points in your own words and, for each one, explain how these points expanded your knowledge about the Qur’an and/or Islam as a whole. Please note if and how each point either countered or reinforced your expectations about the Qur’an and Islam.
2) Based on the lecture and news articles on the Qur’an controversy, discuss at least three misconceptions about Islam and Muslims. For each point, counter it with information that would lead to a more accurate understanding.
3) This question should be based mainly on your reading of Sells (2007), keeping in mind that readings from this book were at the center of a national-level controversy. If you were a new undergraduate at university who did not enroll in a Qur’an class and these excerpts were included as part of your freshman orientation, required reading, what would your reaction be and why?
4) Also based on Sells (2007), describe in your own words, at least three important lessons Sell’s reading taught you about the Qur’an, its topics, its language, its sound qualities, and the meaning of its surahs. After reading Sells (2007), Buck (2012), and revisiting the news articles, discussion and lecture expand upon your initial discussion post about the Qur’an controversy. Drawing upon Buck (2012) and at least one of your classmates’ discussion posts, elaborate upon at least two new insights you have developed regarding the 2002 controversy about teaching the Qur’an. With this, discuss how the Buck (2012) and. What role did the stereotyping of the Muslims Islamophobia, and political events play in this controversy? Or, if you believe that this has nothing to do with Islamophobia, stereotyping, or politics, explain your position. In your own words, explain how controversies such as this could negatively impact teaching courses on the Qur’an or Islam in general. If yes, highlight at least one reason to support your viewpoint. Or, if you do not believe that this controversy is likely to have a negative impact on undergraduate education, explain why not.
5) Based on Sachedina (2006), explain in your own words what the Qur’an teaches us about other world religions? Then, drawing on at least two examples from the reading, discuss how the Qur’an offers a model of coexistence among Muslims and non-Muslims.
