Elementary Education Capstone, Emily Rindos

Academic Festival

This capstone project focuses on developing and implementing a literacy unit centered on textual evidence. The unit includes three lesson plans designed to help students understand how to find, analyze, and use textual evidence to support their ideas. Each lesson builds on the previous one, using a mix of direct instruction, guided practice, and independent work to gradually increase student confidence and skill in citing evidence.

To measure student understanding, a variety of assessments were integrated throughout the unit. These included formative assessments, such as class discussions and written responses, as well as summative assessments that evaluated students’ ability to …

Essence Behind The Eyes Reflected In My Mirror, Kelly Parker

Academic Festival

I chose to create a magazine of poems showcasing who I am as a person. It is called "The Essence" and this edition is titled "Identity: Essence Behind the Eyes Reflected In My Mirror". I used pictures of me throughout different stages in my life, alongside the events, physical features, and mental/emotional traits I possess. This portfolio truly gives a snapshot of my identity as an English major, future English teacher, student, and person.

Crispr-Cas9: Will It Revolutionize The Landscape Of Human Health?, Kevin Cullinan

Academic Festival

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) based gene editing has emerged as an invaluable tool for advances in human health. Through the simple design of single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs), CRISPR-associated proteins (Cas) are guided to make edits within genomes with relative ease compared to previous gene editing techniques. The development of this technology has allowed for improved treatment of diseases such as Sickle Cell Anemia and Leber Congenital Amaurosis. Its usage extends further than just disease treatments, as seen by the ability to decrease malaria transmission rates and increase nutritional value in food. Despite justifiable concerns with the possibility of …

Comparing Temporal Patterns Of Horseshoe Crab Parasite Loads In Long Island Sound From 2021-2023, Alyssa Mancini

Academic Festival

1.1 The American Horseshoe Crab (Limulus polyphemus) is an important species in the ecosystem on the Eastern coast of the United States. Horseshoe crabs in high densities serve as a foundational species, increasing local biodiversity by providing food to many other organisms. The population of horseshoe crabs in the Long Island Sound has been declining in recent decades due to overharvesting, pollution, and loss of shoreline habitat. Additionally, horseshoe crabs are susceptible to gill parasites such as the limulus leech (Bdelloura candida). Horseshoe crabs were studied between 2021 and 2023 along the Connecticut (CT) coast to determine what factors influence …

Identifying Molecular Components Of A Fertility Pathway, Zoë Galvin

Steeplechase: An ORCA Student Journal

Reproductive failure is a common problem which deeply impacts those affected. Many will, unfortunately, never learn any potential cause for this issue. Treatment for reproductive complications are limited due to the lack of understanding of the molecular pathways associated with fertility, especially due to the limitations placed on studies focusing on reproductive health. Model organisms can thus be used in order to gain a better understanding of the pathways that modulate fertility in multicellular organisms. C. elegans are a common model organism notable for their large brood size, short lifespan, and affordable maintenance. They also share much of their genetic …
