To complete the assignment, you will use the attached article by Chamberlain et al from 2007, Serving Twice-Exceptional Preschoolers: Blending Gifted Education and Early Childhood Special Education Practices in Assessment and Program Planning, your course text, and supplemental research which you will locate in support of your hypothesis. These tools will be used to develop your ideas about early childhood program elements as they are related to your answer to the question below. This is the question that you need to answer as you write your paper:
How do these issues of:
Inclusion
Stereotyping
Self-care & adaptive skills
Communication, language, & speech impacts
impact exceptional/special needs and gifted children, including those who may be twice-exceptional identified or not?
You may come up with your own hypothesis in answer to this question; I encourage you to do so. Use outside sources these are required. You must use at least 9 sources total, including our course textbook and the provided article by Chamberlain et al (2007). You may use more if desired, but not less. This means you will need to find at least 7 new sources to support your writing. You may use the research you do to help support your ideas about the assignment question, as well, just be sure to create your own ideas about your paper as you write and support your ideas with the research, not the other way around.
I expect no more than 10-20% of your paper to be from researchers other than yourself. This means that in this paper of 8 – 10 pages (2000 2500 words), no more than about 200-500 of those words should be from outside researchers, depending on the length of your paper. This includes paraphrasing where you dont use quotation marks and you simply rephrase the ideas of other researchers into your own words but you still cite in-text to show that you used their ideas. Please do not use external research like a sponge to take up space and use up word count so that you dont have to actually write your own work. This is YOUR paper. If you want to check how much of your paper is a citation, take your page of text, look at the word count, delete all of the citations, and then look at the word count again. Do the math to figure out how much of the total word count from the page accounts for the citations you just deleted, and youll have an idea of whether or not you are falling in the 10-20% range.
