The final project provides you with the opportunity to "research" an area(s) of interest that we may not have covered in as much detail as you had hoped during the term. This project is also a great opportunity to (1) check out the appendices in our textbooks, (2) brush up on how to use LCC's library database to find information on a topic of interest, and (3) enjoy exploring a few children's books. This assignment will be what you make of it, meaning if you pick an area of two of interest as your "theme" you are more likely to have fun with this project and also learn something throughout the process.

Note that you need your TEXTBOOKS for the first part of this project.

Final Project, DUE Week 9 (15 points)


Instructions for RESOURCES
: Look at 7 resources for 2 points each and answer the questions near the end of this. There's an example at the end.

Make at least 2 choices each of the following. That will total 6 resources. The 7th resource can be any of the 3 types.

  1. (at least 2) Appendix features in either Secrets of Feeding A Healthy Family or Child of Mine

  2. (at least 2) EBSCO Articles. Using LCC library's database, EBSCO, find FULL TEXT articles about topics we're discussing in this class: (For instructions about how to find these articles, contact LCC library.)  Please allow more time to search for these articles.

  3. (at least 2)  Children's Books (from the list above wk1) that you have NOT READ BEFORE. Some of them are on reserve at the LCC library, some are at the LCC library's general collection and all of them are at the Eugene Public Library. Many of them are also at the Springfield Public Library. If you live outside of the Eugene/Springfield area, please check your local library. 

  4. A seventh of your choice, either an Appendix feature, an EBSCO article or a children's book.

 

You can prepare your answers using whatever word processing program you use, and then copy and paste it into the final project. (If you've forgotten how to copy and paste, check the Glossary under "copy and paste".)

 ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

QUESTION 1 How do you like the two texts we have used in our class? Please give me feedback.

QUESTION 2 Did you use the exact letters and symbols I ask for before the Resource # ___TITLE & AUTHOR of each resource? If you did not use these, points will be deducted.

QUESTION 3    7 Resources (2 points each) (See the example at the bottom.)

For each of the seven resources, list the title and author, where you found it,
what you learned or liked, and what Satter would think (if it is a children's book or EBSCO article)

 

QUESTION 4 Did you use the exact letters and symbols I ask for before the Resource # ___TITLE & AUTHOR of each resource? If you did not use these, points will be deducted.

 

Example of answer to QUESTION 4 submitted by a student:

 

<BR><BR> TITLE & AUTHOR of Resource # 1
Let's Eat by Lesley Fairfield

Where you found this (one of our books, EBSCO, name of the library, etc.):

Children's Book at Sweet Home Public Library

What did you learn or what did you like or NOT like about this resource?

I liked seeing children eating all kinds of different "ethnic food".

If it's a children's book or an EBSCO article you're looking at, answer this question: What would Ellyn Satter think about this book or article?

It even shows kids enjoying the "forbidden foods" as well as the healthy. I do think this goes along Satter's ideas that forbidding a food may cause a child to overeat. and that we should trust children to make choices about what to eat that's in their environment.

<BR><BR> TITLE & AUTHOR of Resource # 2 (of the appendix, the article or the children's book): etc. through Resource # 7
