Student Participation
Mr. Jones a high school social studies teacher allocates
twenty-five percent of his class grade on student participation. He believes
that class discussion is one of the most important parts of his class and that
students must be encouraged to participate. He also believes that students must
be recognized for their “good work” which often equates to their oral or class
contributions. This semester Mr. Jones has a student with a pronounced stutter,
another student who has just arrived to the United States from Bolivia and is
learning English. Another student in Mr. Jones’ class is extremely shy and does
not want to be the center of attention in any setting. Mr. Jones likes to call
on students who are not volunteering during class in an effort to encourage
them to speak up and meaningfully participate. The students who are not
participating feel uncomfortable and are becoming increasingly alienated from
the rest of the class. Grading for these students is also a significant factor.
Content Based on this fictitious scenario, you are to write
a three- to four-page paper that addresses the role and responsibility of Mr.
Jones. Using the discussions, reading, video, and learning thus far in this

the students in Mr. Jones’s class. (One page) • Parent Response: Explain how
the parent(s) might address these issues with Mr. Jones on behalf of their
child. Consider their cultural diversity and language preferences (One page).
