Item 1 of the Portfolio: Report on the the Resources in My Field of Study

For this assignment you will complete a form, providing information about 3-4 things:

1. The program (discipline) you are studying
2. The program guide you are using and things in it
3. Analysis of one organization or website from your discipline
4. Tips for communicating with folks in your discipline (optional)

The complete form shouldn’t be longer than three pages. Less than two full pages will be considered under-developed. Read the information below for a broad understanding of the purpose of this assignment. Refer to the attached template for more specific details on what to do.

Goal: This is a no-stress scavenger hunt to help you collect resources about your field of study. Ideally, these resources will help save you time and effort for the remainder of the semester (and beyond) since you can focus all your research on these resources. The name of the game is to dig around and search for resources related to your field of study, such as organizations and associations within that field, podcasts, YouTube channels, books, scholarly databases, etc.

Example: If I’m majoring in Underwater Basket Weaving, I may find in my digging that there’s an Association of Underwater Basket Weavers which offers articles, podcasts, blogs, career posts, conferences, and more. I may also find a YouTube channel that posts weekly tips and tricks related to the field. I could find a ton of books I may want to read later on, such as Underwater Weavers Weave Best by Jane Weaverton and My Life as a Basket Weaver by John Undersea. I might also discover there’s a database in the library that specializes on this field of study. As someone majoring in this field, I may have no idea where to find resources or what’s out there, and so this assignment is intended to help me explore. It’s a scavenger hunt, and it’s meant to be stress free, so have fun with it, and don’t think too hard about it.

What is a discourse community?

You learned earlier that writing does not exist in a vacuum, that it is a conversation between writer and reader. One scholar, Erik Borg, says that “We do not generally use language to communicate with the world at large, but with individuals or groups of individuals…these groups are gathered into communities.”

Each of us belongs to a number of these groups (called discourse communities). If you stop at a coffee shop routinely, you are a member of that community. Members know what the “rules” are for communicating with each other, what kind of greeting is used, what the standard length of comments is, what kind of comments are acceptable, and what kind are not. Other discourse communities might be related to activities with children, fitness, or church. You can probably think of examples of a conversation topic or a greeting that would be acceptable at the gym but not at church.

1. At this point in an infant’s life the most important things the parents can do is to help the child understand

1. At this point in an infant’s life the most important things the parents can do is to help the child understand the world they live in by giving them the love and attention they need to thrive and learn. During this time the parents should show positive reinforcements to their baby by offering toys that stimulate them, talking to your baby when they are babbling, and setting routines so baby can better understand their world. Giving your baby proper care and love are the most important things for an infant. When raised in situations of neglect babies do not develop at the same pace and often experience developmental delays and damage to the cerebral cortex. This trauma and neglect can slow not only physical development but also social and emotional development as well. By offering baby a variety of toys, feeding them, talking to them, providing them a safe place to sleep and ensuring lots of rest, and providing breastmilk and formula for proper brain growth parents can set their baby up for success as they transition into toddlerhood.

Classical conditioning: Teaching a sleep schedule, this will help the baby to understand the world around them. They will be conditioned to know that a set routine means they are about to go to sleep for the night.

Habituation and recovery: playing with toys, during play time a toy will stimulate the baby’s interest for some time which is the habituation, then the interest will fade and they will enter the recovery portion. This give and take encourages babies to constantly have new experiences by moving from one item to the next.

Imitation: Speaking and babbling to your baby, your baby will learn a lot from tongue and mouth movement and try to mimic your sounds. This helps the baby to develop the proper reflexes for learning

2. When babies are first born most people dont know what to do with the tiny people. As a mother of a teenager and also a toddler i feel one of the most important things a parent can do for their new addions to the family is to simply love them. Give them attention show them love, care and concern and just allow the baby to be a baby. Alot of parents concern themselves with rushing their children to meet milestones early or worry the child wont meet them on time. Simply allow the baby to enjoy exploring the world around and getting to know you and the love youre giving. As im raising my children the one thinhs i notice im imitating the most from my parents is unconditional love and thats most important to me. When my daughter was born she didnt seem sad or unhappy but i noticed she didnt smile as much as i felt she should. so i asked myself, how often was i smiling? Once i begin to smile more and more pleasant to others so did she. She became more ougoing stopped rolling her eyes at people and we both became more outgoing and happy. I hope my daughter picks up the pleasant happy mother i am and imitates the same she recieves from me and gives it to her children sameway i learned it from my mother. I think children will always imitate more of what they see especially as infants because all they know is what they are explosed to being fresh vessel. When parents are nervous about their baby meeting milestones they can forget to enoy the stage that their baby is currently in. Although it may seen like infants cant do much that time is very important more then ever because it sets the tone for their deveoplement thats why reading is encouraged even while still in the womb.
