Literacy in the Content Areas for Secondary Teachers: Part 1
This course is designed to introduce and analyze strategies for developing the ability of secondary school students to learn from print sources and text materials in content area classrooms across the curriculum. While the focus of these strategies is on reading comprehension and vocabulary development, we consider other best practices and theory based on continuing research in the field. Topics covered include purposes for reading and writing, literacy assessment for data driven instructional decisions, differentiated instruction, and the examination of language and culture in the classroom as related to debates and policy about identity, dialects, equality, and Standard/Mainstream English. This course is a pre-requisite for secondary and k12 candidates to the MAT.

ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES
ENST245
Eco-Criticism and the Zombie Film
What’s scarier ? A zombie apocalypse or a real-world climate disaster? Zombie films seem like “scary fun” but they often reflect real-world anxieties about the future of our planet and humanity. In this intensive, three-week winter course, we will discuss films, television shows, and readings that use the zombie to express fears about issues like environmental degradation, climate change, and environmental injustice. Students will hone critical thinking, textual and film analysis, and research skills through class discussion, individual and group presentations, and a final project of a “Zombie Manifesto.” Ultimately, students will examine what zombie films can teach us about the larger cultural anxieties related to the environment and what we can do about it! Course counts for ENST245 (Environmental Humanities Track Elective) and may be taken as ILC French 364, with prerequisite French 206. This class is crosslisted with ILCF364. This course will count for Core Exploration Humanities.

PSYCHOLOGY
PSYC250
Social Psychology
Social psychology aims to understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. At the heart of social psychology is the recognition that social situations dramatically influence our responses. Perhaps you have laughed at a joke you didn’t get because other people were laughing. Maybe you have noticed you act one way when you are around one group of people, say your family, but act differently when you are around your friends. Our responses are not simply the products of our personalities but are shaped and molded by the social context around us, often without realizing it. Indeed, the current social situation can influence how we perceive, evaluate, remember, and act within our environments.
This course will provide students with an overview of research and theory in social psychology. Students will learn about interesting, relevant, and timely research findings and how social psychologists have discovered this evidence. The social psychological approach to understanding human behavior differs from a philosophical or historical approach because social psychology is a science. In this course, we’ll learn the psychological science of attitudes, persuasion, conformity, obedience, perceptions of others, stereotyping and discrimination, romantic relationships, aggression, and helping behavior. The course emphasizes understanding important scientific methods, findings, and principles in social psychology, which it then applies to everyday life and broader social problems.
