Read the excerpt from “Votes for Women,” a speech by Mark Twain from 1901.
As for this city’s government, I don’t want to say much, except that it is a shame – a shame; but if I should live twenty-five years longer – and there is no reason why I shouldn’t – I think I’ll see women handle the ballot.

Item 1 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version While solitary negative reactions or unjustified suggestions for change have the potential to dissipate feedback anonymously, but the ability to provide feedback anonymously may create a context where the rationale associated with specific suggestions can be more safely explored (Howard, Barrett, & Frick, 2010). However, we cannot assume that all anonymous online spaces will serve as safe social spaces. Teachers will rarely give anonymous feedback, but the experience of giving anonymous feedback may open a social space where learners can try out the reasons for their suggestions.

Item 2 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version Because computer systems exhibit performative intelligence, we can teach them to do tasks. It is this very capability that makes it possible to use computers as an interactive medium for instruction and learning. It is interaction which sets computers systems apart from other media such as books, television, and film. However, present-day computers literally do not understand the culturally bound meanings of the messages which they manipulate during these interactions because such computers lack qualitative intelligence. References: Frick, T. (1997). Artificially intelligent tutoring systems: what computers can and can’t know. Journal of Educational Computing Research, 16(2), 107-124. According to Frick (1997), computer systems demonstrate performative intelligence, when compared to other media such as books, television, and film. Computers can be programmed to do things. This feature of computer systems makes them an alternative medium for instruction and learning. However, he claims that computer systems lack the ability to understand the meaning of messages they send and receive during interaction with students and teachers. References: Frick, T. (1997).

Item 3 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version There is a design methodology called rapid prototyping, which has been used successfully in software engineering. Given similarities between software design and instructional design, we argue that rapid prototyping is a viable method for instructional design, especially for computer-based instruction. References: Tripp, S. D., & Bichelmeyer, B. A. (1990). Rapid prototyping: An alternative instructional design strategy. Educational Technology Research and Development, 38(1), 31-44. Tripp and Bichelmeyer (1990) suggested that rapid prototyping could be an advantageous methodology for developing innovative computer-based instruction. They noted that this approach has been used successfully in software engineering; hence, rapid prototyping could also be a viable method for instructional design due to many parallels between software design and instructional design.

Item 4 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version Content could be presented in a variety of formats via multimedia. Dynamic processes could be illustrated. Content in the form of text, still pictures, video, sound, graphics, or animations could be digitally or analogically encoded and stored in electronic, magnetic, and optical technologies. This encoded information could be transmitted literally around the world in a matter of seconds. References: Frick, T. (1991). Restructuring education through technology. Bloomington, IN: Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation. With the rapid advance in information technologies, people around the world can access information quickly. Information takes the form of text, still pictures, video, sound, graphics, or animations, which are stored and transferred electronically through these computational technologies.

Item 6 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version In a complex task such as creating a website for learning, instructors may want to support the generation of multiple solutions in learners’ peer feedback. Anonymity may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited. However, teachers need to know just how anonymity impacts the learning dynamic in order to make informed choices about when anonymous configurations are appropriate in peer feedback. References: Howard, C. D., Barrett, A. F., St Frick, T. W. (2010). Anonymity to promote peer feedback: Pre-service teachers’ comments in asynchronous computer-mediated communication. Journal of Educational Computing Research, 43(1), 89—112. According to Howard, Barrett, and Frick (2010), in order to make appropriate choices educators must understand the ways in which hiding or showing the identity of participants can impact the interaction that takes place in peer feedback activities. Obscuring the identity of participants in peer feedback “may create a social context where learners feel freer to express varied ideas, and make the task of giving feedback less inhibited” (p. 90).

Item 7 In the case below, the original source material is given along with a sample of student work. Determine the type of plagiarism by clicking the appropriate radio button. Original Source Material Student Version The concept of systems is really quite simple. The basic idea is that a system has parts that fit together to make a whole; but where it gets complicated – and interesting – is how those parts are connected or related to each other. There are many kinds of systems: government systems, health systems, military systems, business systems, and educational systems, to name a few. References: Frick, T. (1991). Restructuring education through technology. Bloomington, IN: Phi Delta Kappa Educational Foundation. Systems, including both business systems, and educational systems, are actually very simple. The main idea is that systems have parts that fit together to make a whole. What is interesting is how those parts are connected together.

Which sentence best describes one effect of the poet’s uses of figurative language in this excerpt
Read these lines from the poem “In Thai Binh (Peace) Province by Denlist Levertov: It is that life, unhurried, sure, persistent, I must bring home when I try to bring the war home. Child, river, light. Here the future, fabled bird that has migrated away from America, nests, and breeds, and sings, common as any sparrow. Which sentence best describes one effect of the poet’s use of figurative language in this excerpt? A.

It compares two unlike things: peace and a fabled bird to emphasize that a lasting peace is unattainable. C. It implies that a hawkish foreign policy has displaced a dovish foreign policy in America after the war. D. It attributes human qualities to peace in order to emphasize the idea that it is a common goal for all people.

Reread the passage that begins on page 85 with the sentence “One day as she walked home across the snow town…” and ends on the next page with “The night she threw her i’noGo tied away.” What conflict does the passage illustrate?  What lesson about life might Julie need to learn, to be happy?
Reread the passage that begins on page 88 with the sentence “The wonders of
Mekoryuk dimmed as weekly letters from Amy arrived” and ends on the next page with “and Martha could not protest.” Clearly, Julie has decided that one solution to the internal conflict she feels is to marry Daniel and live with his family.  What complication prevents her from resolving that conflict once and for all?
Reread the last paragraphs of Part II, beginning with the words “With a sob Julie threw her arms around Pearl…” What does the protagonist mean when she says “Julie is gone” and “I am Miyax now?” Is her internal conflict resolved, or is she still not sure who she wants to be?
