( Please see screenshoot) Creative writing in response to literature is a way for students to respond to literature in a personal way. Creative writing provides a way for students to practice critical thinking and develop a stronger understanding of literary criticism while showing creativity and a bit of their own personalities. For this creative writing assignment, you will do a character analysis to allow you to get inside the mind of one of the characters."Woman Hollering Creek" is told as a third-person narrative, not as a first-person narrative. The difference is that a third-person narrative presents the characters to us in the words of a narrator rather than from the words of the characters themselves. The story contains descriptions such as “Cleofilas did this” or “Cleofilas said that,” but it’s not as if Cleofilas herself is telling everything from their perspective. Of course, sometimes she speaks in the story, but she does not get to tell the story or what she thinking or feeling. It is up to the reader to determine what she might be thinking or feeling. For this assignment, imagine you are Cleofilas writing a journal entry the events described in the story. Try to get into the mind of Cleofilas. Be imaginative and creative. Pretend you are Cleofilas and have successfully left your marriage with Felice's help. You will not be retelling the plot of the story; you will be Cleofilas reflecting on what has happened. In this journal entry you can put down whatever thoughts she might have using absolute frankness and honesty.  

 Criteria: 

• Write a minimum 400 words in paragraph form, using Times New Roman 12-point font (or similar) with double spacing. A title page is not required.
• Submit as a Microsoft Word attachment on the submission page (click title above). Assignments not submitted in this way may be returned to you ungraded
  There is a no-research policy in place for this class. Using any material other than the assigned readings and lectures, even if it is correctly quoted and cited, will result in a failing grade for this assignment. Contact your instructor if you have questions about this policy.

Good Morning,

Assistance is needed in completing the following Assignment:

Part 1: Reflection on Multicultural Perspectives

As an early childhood administrator, you must be aware of your own beliefs regarding diversity and recognize potential for bias towards family views, values, roles, and parenting styles that may differ from your own experiences. These perspectives will either help or hinder you from working with diverse families. You must also carefully evaluate your ethical responsibilities to support all types of families. For the first part of the Assignment, you will write a 2–3-page narrative essay in Standard English describing your own perspective on multiculturalism and diversity and its impact on an early childhood organization that you might work for in the future. Keep in mind that narrative essays tell a story about a real-life experience. Choose two to three life experiences you feel have shaped and influenced your views about multiculturalism and diversity. Continue your reflection with a discussion of the ethical rules that support and guide your approach to working with diverse families in early childhood programs.

Part 2: Case Scenario - Working with Diverse Families

As an early childhood administrator, you must accept differences in families and build constructive relationships with all kinds of families (Scully, Barbour, & Roberts-King, 2014). Economics and social pressures also contribute to the ways families are diverse.

Suppose your early childhood organization serves the following types of families:

• Low-income, Caucasian family of a child with a disability
• Homeless, highly educated bi-racial family with two boys and a girl
• Upper-income lesbian family with three adopted boys
• Extended Latino family with a divorced mother, plus grandparents, and two girls

In 3–4 pages, continue your narrative essay by examining research on family systems theory, parenting styles, and the role of family structures in relation to the types of families served by your organization. Describe the diversity of these families in terms of their parenting roles, cultural beliefs, and involvement in their child's education. For each of the family types of your organization, describe the effective ways you would support, communicate, and share community resources. Support your approaches to working with the diverse families with references to theories and research examined.

Include a summary of the importance of understanding diversity from your own perspective as well as the perspectives of the families your early childhood education serves.

Include at least three references from scholarly sources retrieved from the University Library supporting family systems theory, parenting styles, and/or roles of family structures and include in-text citations throughout your assignment.
