In each cell of the table include the number of items to be assigned to that objective and subject matter topic.

The total test should include at least 50 items.

Try to make at least 50% of the items measure complex learning outcomes.

For those instructional objectives which cannot be measured by paper-and-pencil tests, an indication should be given to the type of evaluation to be used.

Include at least one song and a link to a performance of it in your writing. You must also include a few sentences about WHY you chose this song and HOW it relates to your answer.

write a separate 1 page writing prompt regarding:
Soul Music was undeniably a central part of the Civil Rights movement. Some songs, such as A Change is Gonna Come, address Civil Rights directly in their lyrics while other songs or performers seek to elevate the status of Black Americans in the eyes of White society without directly saying so in their lyrics (such as Berry Gordys carefully constructed MoTown images). Choose a song such as Respect by Aretha Franklin or Love Train by the OJays that is well-known today and usually not associated with Civil Rights. Look at the lyrics, the performance style, and other musical details and discuss how and why this song was able to be understood as advocating for Black Power or racial equality during the 1960s and 70s even though those ideas are not commonly evoked for modern listeners. Then choose a song from the same era that undeniably refers to these themes in its lyrics, such as The Revolution Will Not Be Televised or To Be Young, Gifted, and Black by Nina Simone. Compare and contrast the songs and their effectiveness, mentioning differences in lyrical content but ESPECIALLY differences and/or similarities in how the music is delivered role of rhythm, style of vocals, presence of Africanisms, etc. For each song, be sure to contextualize it in terms of time, place, and intended audience.

Assignment: Application of Crisis Theory and Resiliency Theory to a Case Study

It is common for social workers to be presented with a crisis situation brought forth by clients, families, communities, and/or organizations. The ultimate goal is to restore the client to equilibrium. The five stages of the crisis are (1) the hazardous event, (2) the vulnerable stage, (3) the precipitating factor, (4) the state of active crisis, and (5) the reintegration or crisis resolution phase.

There are times when a social worker will use more than one theory to assist in conceptualizing the problem and intervention, particularly if the theories complement each other. For example, resiliency theory can be used alongside crisis theory.

To prepare: Review and focus on the same case study that you chose in Week 2.

By Day 7

Submit a 1- to 2-page case write-up that addresses the following:

Map the client’s crisis using the five stages of the crisis.
Describe the client’s assets and resources (in order to understand the client’s resilience).
Describe how you, the social worker, will intervene to assist the client to reach the reintegration stage of the crisis. Be sure that the intervention promotes resiliency.
Evaluate how using crisis theory and resiliency theory together help in working with a client.
Be sure to:

Identify and correctly reference the case study you have chosen.
Use literature to support your claims.
Use APA formatting and style.
Remember to double-space your paper.
