The topic for your research paper can be anything pertaining to border and coastal security. Once you have decided on a topic, develop a research question and hypothesis to support it. There is no need to submit your question and hypothesis for “approval”. A minimum of 10 outside references are required.

Paper Format:

· Cover Page

· Abstract (no more than 150-250 words)

· Introduction (include the specific research question and hypothesis which are presented at the end)

· Literature Review – Critical analysis is the key here

· Methodology (This needs to more than a single sentence that states “I used qualitative methods”. Take the time to explore what type of qualitative method you used…. Content Analysis and Case Study are the two approaches that seem most likely for this course.

· Analysis – What does your research tell you? What are your conclusions??

· Conclusion – ensure you include what future research should cover that has not been explored.

· Reference List

Technical Requirements

· Your paper must be at a minimum of 10-12 pages (the Title and Reference pages do not count towards the minimum limit).

· Scholarly and credible references should be used. A good rule of thumb is at least 2 scholarly sources per page of content.

· Type in Times New Roman, 12 point and double space.

· Students will follow the current APA Style as the sole citation and reference style used in written work submitted as part of coursework. 

· Points will be deducted for the use of Wikipedia or encyclopedic type sources. It is highly advised to utilize books, peer-reviewed journals, articles, archived documents, etc.

· All submissions will be graded using the assignment rubric.

Today’s early childhood settings are filled with children from all corners of the world. As you have been learning, early childhood professionals who work with children and families who are immigrants require knowledge, understandings, and sensitivities along with strategies to best promote healthy child development and growth and to ensure fair and equitable learning environments.

To prepare for the Discussion:

• Reflect on this week’s media segment in which three early childhood professionals discuss their thoughts and experiences in working with children and their families who are immigrants. Which comments and insights from the media segment resonated with you the most?
• Bring to mind the course text reading and the ideas shared throughout Chapter 5. Also consider what you have learned about transnational families from the article Supporting Transnational Families. What aspects of cultural dissonance might a child from a transnational family experience? How might these aspects be revealed in the context of an authentic transnational family?
• Finally, reflect on your own personal and professional dispositions. What do you expect will be your greatest joy(s) and challenge(s) when it comes to working with immigrant and/or transnational families?

Early childhood educators Leslie Cheung and Eric Hoffman share their thoughts on how to truly honor families in order to help children internalize respect and interact with fairness and equity.

Outcomes you should achieve by completing this assignment

As you complete the tasks required for this assignment, you will be working toward several of the course outcomes:

• Begin the writing process by exploring a topic (Relates to course outcome 1)
• Compose paragraphs that explain an event or issue (Relates to course outcome 2)
• Demonstrate accurate grammar and mechanics in writing (Relates to course outcome 3)
• Identify a recent and reliable news source and provide APA documentation (Relates to course outcome 4)

Formatting your assignment

Incorporate these elements of APA style:

• Use one-inch margins.
• Double space.
• Use an easy-to-read font between 10-point and 12-point.

Note: Title page is not required, but make sure you include your name and a title that reflects your topic at the top of the first page. 

Number your answers and/or include the assignment questions so your instructor can see that you addressed each part of the assignment.

Respond to each of the following.

1. Provide an APA-style reference for the news article you selected. The format for the reference is as follows:

Author, A. A. (Year, Month Day). Title of article in sentence case. Title of Newspaper in Title Case and Italics. http://www.newspaperhomepage.com

Although the news article should be available through the UMGC Library, provide the URL directly to the newspaper that published the article. An APA reference entry does not link to a library database record. It does include the URL of the newspaper homepage, such as https://www.washingtonpost.com

2.   For your instructor’s reference, provide the URL to the article in the UMGC Library. This will be listed as “Document URL” in the library record:

3.   Summarize the article. Explain the event or issue covered in the article, assuming your reader has little or no prior knowledge of it. Answer in 1-2 paragraphs.

4.   Describe a specific real-life situation (other than one discussed in your news article) where the issue at hand has been observed. This could be something that happened to you or someone you know, or it could be a related event in the news. Explain the connection to the event or issue in your news article. Answer in 1-2 paragraphs.

5.   What is your field of study and how do you see it relating to the event or issue in your news article? Answer in one paragraph.

6.   What do you want to know about the issue or event in your news article? List two or more questions that you could pursue as part of your research. Though you are listing two or more questions here, your research should ultimately be focused on a single guiding question.
