SOCES offers an uninterrupted comprehensive educational experience for students in grades 4-12. In a culturally diverse and safe environment, we prepare our students to be active, productive and contributing members of society. The philosophy at Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies is that parents and members of the community have the opportunity to share in the educational development of the students. Parents are encouraged to become involved at school.History: It was established in 1981 as a response to court ordered busing. Our campus occupies the former campus of Sequoia Junior High School which was established as a neighborhood school in 1952. In 1981, three small magnet schools were combined and placed onto this twenty-four acre campus and within two years took over the entire campus from declining local enrollment at Sequoia Junior High.

Geography: SOCES is located in the South-West San Fernando Valley in the city of Tarzana. It is in a residential area where many apartments and single family homes are located. Reseda Recreation Center is in the walking distance form the school. The closest store is a 7-11 located at the intersection of Reseda and Victory Boulevard.

This is a one-day conference with two sessions (morning and afternoon). I am planning to attend both sessions. The morning session will be conducted by Dr. Larry Silver and the title of the session is ‘Is Your Child’s Learning Disability the Only Problem?

Dr. Silver will focus on the clinical description, diagnosis, and treatment of these disorders ending the morning with a group discussion and response to the questions.The afternoon session is with Dr. Peter Alter about strategies for managing challenging behavior.This program will address Defining Challenging Behavior of children with learning disabilities, including tips for children with behavior issues. Additionally, Dr. Alter will cover classroom setup for best results, preventing challenging behavior, dealing with escalating behavior and effectively responding to challenging behavior.

(6) Multi-media resources: Numerous educational videos, sound clips, and animations are available on the Internet. Teachers should be able to find appropriate multimedia resources, and link to or download such files.

I found these two videos on youtube.com. I am planning to use them in my elementary level English classes to review adjectives and adverbs. I believe my 6, 7 and 8th grade students will also like them. The cartoon characters will draw my students’ attention to the video while informing them about adjectives and adverbs.

(7) Interactive/Linked Unit Plan: Many application programs (including word processors, presentation managers and spreadsheets) allow users to hyperlink to local (e.g. movies, animations, presentations, text) and remote files. This can greatly facilitate the development and use of a unit plan. *TPE-tip You may wish to incorporate this material into a unit plan for TPE1.

Develop a unit plan (or augment an existing plan) for the subject you teach, incorporating as many resources as possible developed in this class.

This three- week unit has been designed to develop 9th grade students’ reading, writing, thinking, listening, and speaking skills through activities and exercises

April 15, 20084:11 AMrelated to Farewell to Manzanar by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston. The unit fits into a year long course of study by giving students opportunities to improve their skills of reading a novel, character analysis, writing compositions, and delivering oral responses to literature. Student objectives for the unit are understanding the novel on a literal level and recalling major plot events and settings; analyzing characters, their situations and experiences; writing a newspaper article about the relocation of Japanese Americans; writing an interview with one of the characters and presenting it; relating the experiences of the characters to other people’s experiences; doing research on the Internet, writing research reports and delivering oral presentations. Media and technology experiences are integrated into the unit by engaging students in a research project about the book report. Students are doing research for the book project in the library and on the Internet. Another experience of the students is watching the movie of Farewell to Manzanar.

Farewell to Manzanar

Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston and James D. Houston

Theme: Justice and RightsGrades: Grades 9-10

Summary:Farewell to Manzanar is the true story of a Japanese-American family's confinement in California's Manzanar internment camp during World War II. Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston was seven when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and created the hysteria that forced 110,000 Japanese Americans from their homes. She remembers the stress of camp life—the stripping away of dignity and privacy, the withering of parental authority, and the divisive pressure to sign loyalty oaths. She also recalls what she took away from Manzanar after it closed—an odd sense of shame and

a fierce determination to be accepted as American.

THEME OPENERS

1. Justice for All. Lead a class discussion focusing on justice and rights. You might pose questions like the following:

o Which of people's rights should be protected by law? o Under what conditions, if any, might it be justifiable to violate a

citizen's legal rights? o What should people do if they feel that the government is violating their

rights? What if they feel that the government is violating the rights of others?

o Elicit examples of recent legal decisions that students might consider unjust and of current situations in which governments are mistreating people.

2. Tapping Prior Knowledge: World War II. Invite students to share what they know about relations between the United States and Japan during World War II. Ask if they know how these relations affected the lives of Japanese Americans during the war. Have students record their responses and amplify or revise them as they read Farewell to Manzanar.

CROSSCURRICULAR ACTIVITIES

1. History on Film.Invite interested students to compile photo essays about the internment camps. The National Archives house Dorothea Lange's photos from Manzanar and other camps. Using the Internet, students can view and download some of these photos. (Alternatively, they might xerox photos from books and periodical articles about the internment.) They can then organize the reproduced works into photo essays, writing an introduction, captions, and comments. Show them how to credit the photographers.

2. Not Forgotten.Ask students what they would consider a fitting tribute to those who suffered and died as a result of their experiences in the internment camps. Challenge them to design a memorial, with sketches and notes outlining their ideas and their reasons. The memorial may be a physical structure; a work of art, literature, or music; or a program to be implemented.

April 15, 20084:11 AM1. Civil Rights Today.

Have students complete a research report on a person or group of people whose lives are disrupted by civil strife today. Tell students to read the international news each day for several days and to note current areas of civil strife. Have them make an annotated list of places where people face discrimination or loss of rights because of their ethnic background, religion, or political affiliations. Help students choose one place to target and provide research time and assistance in the library and on the Internet.

2. The U.S. in 1942.Have students research U.S. political and social conditions of 1942 to gain a deeper understanding of the issues that led to the forced internment of Americans of Japanese ancestry. Ask them to present their findings in a report backed up with statistics shown in a table, chart, or other graphic format.
