1. A Heart That Was Not Received
As a gentleman, all the right words are said to an individual
who has experienced a broken heart. In which, this can slowly
allow a person to remove the wall shielded from pain, and allow

feel as if they have this person's undivided attention, and slowly

gentleman is different. After, a gentlemen notices that the
person is showing or displaying signs of happiness again, that is
when the a gentlemen begins to show a woman all the things
expected from a man. So once they start off going on dates,
spending quality time together, the gentleman has baited the
woman in. Usually after, spending quality time together with
this person for three to four months or less. Intimacy is usually
in the situation, causing a woman to be more trusting with a
man. As appose to man he realizes he has the woman feeling
and acting the way he wants. Such as the excessive phone calls,

For my Project, I will be researching and writing about
perspective, specifically history perspective. History is written
by the victors, a notion adopted and most widely acknowledged
to be used by Winston Churchill, but its true origins are
unknown. Perspective, specifically when dealing with the
historical perspective has shaped history, and thus, history is
inaccurate. When we read history (or anything for that matter),
we tend to assume what we are reading is true. A lot of people
believe that history is an unequivocal fact. However, the history
of the world that we know and study lacks just as many facts as
it contains if not even more” (Ryder). History is not grounded
in facts, but rather it’s the winners’ account of what happened.
The best way to piece together this research will be to present it
as a traditional academic piece written in a persuasive style. I
chose this topic and genre because I’ve always found the
historical inaccuracies interesting and how we only ever get half
the story. Native Americans, for instance, are one of the most
oppressed groups of people in the world, yet we rarely talk
about them (Ryder). Why? Because they weren’t the victors.
American history has been dominated by white men. History
(and people) have been inaccurately recounting the
experience(s) and perspective(s) of battles since the beginning
of time when man could record history. The victors have always
been the ones to have the last say, the final word, and the only
word on what occurred. In history, when a battle was one, the

3. victors would burn and destroy the others’ temples, scripts,
history and teachings. Accounts of the experiences and
hardships felt by the losing side of a battle were only ever
recorded in the winners’ view (Historians.org, 2020).
Just like with the Native Americans, there’s no detailed account
of the brutality of the British militia which lead to the Jacobite
uprising and the downfall of the Highlander way of life at the
Battle of Culloden (National Trust for Scotland, 2017). The
Highlander history and recounts of the Battle of Culloden talk
about the profit benefit to highlanders and barely touch on how
“Clan chiefs were deprived of their legal powers and clansmen
of their weapons; Jacobite estates were seized by the Crown;
and the kilt and tartan were banned” (National Trust for
Scotland, 2017).
The first step in organizing this undertaking was developing the
topic/thesis that history is not grounded in facts as it is written
by the victors. The next step will be defining no more than four
battles to focus on in order to limit the scope of research and
not spend years focusing on this project. The next step will be
to gather sources and research on each of the battles and
develop the argument to support each one based on the thesis.
Sources for gathering the research for this project will include
historical textbooks detailing the accounts of the American wars
as well as the Battle of Culloden, online sources detailing
historical accounts, and as seen below, accounts from respective
sources that have credibility and authority. The battle of
Culloden, for instance, has a record of prisoners with their
names, but there is no account from their perspective of what
transpired. I will also be looking into scholarly articles focusing
on Winston Churchill’s words, “History is written by the
victors,” in order to do a philosophical account of the meaning
to be able to dive into reaching the notion that history is in fact,
grounded in perspective.
In my presentation, I think it would be most beneficial for this
piece to serve as written documentation and research findings of
the fact, but I will be including some visual representations. For

4. instance, I think it would be beneficial to see a prisoner of war
log/record, if available, a visual representation of the Colonies
when the Native Americans were the inhabitants versus when
settlers began coming in.

Hello,
I am hoping you’re enjoying this semester and you have rolled
up your sleeves to glean as much knowledge as possible from
the courses you’re pursuing. I found your proposal quite
interesting. Since, we share the same vocation, reading each
other’s paper will provide a venue to explore mutual beneficial

5. opportunities. I would also like to connect with you in
LinkedIn. I appreciate that you have chosen to write about
something that will prepare you in a way to secure your dream
job in your field.
I totally agree with your stance regarding the pace of
technological innovation in today’s business world, especially
in the digital business environment. The rate at which
technology is evolving, it is becoming a challenging task for
any organization leverage the latest technology and innovate
rapidly. The onus is on the organization to adopt and leverage
the latest technological solutions available in the market to
deliver value for their customers so that they can remain
relevant and survive today’s competitive business environment.
An additional burden imposed by technological innovations on
organizations is that they have to implement organizational
change management so that their staff is embrace the change
brought about by technology innovation in their industry. The
tendency of various functions of the organization is to work in
silos and resist change which poses a great threat to the
competitiveness of the organization.
I have never worked in the digital industry. But I am sure that
digital businesses with their cutting-edge technology are
replacing most of the brick and motor model-based businesses.
The nuance in this whole story is how technology innovations
are getting managed in digital business environment. This is one
of the reasons, I am earnestly looking forward to reading your
research paper. Visiting the company sites or talking to people
who are dealing with the latest cutting-edge technologies on a
daily basis will give you better picture on innovation is
managed in digital businesses. I will highly recommend you to
do that.
The valuable information that social media generates will help a
organization better understand its’s customer’s behavior and
preferences; and how they feel about the business’s products or
services. However, extracting this valuable information is not
an easy task and this requires huge investment in “big data”

6. technology that can help analyzing and extracting meaningful
insight from the social media data generated for an
organization. Investment in new technology require detailed
research and analysis on how this new technology is going to
augment the existing technology currently in use in the
business, whether the new technology is scalable and cost-
effective and so on. I will suggest that you can consider
investigating these aspects as you develop your research paper.
The structure of your research paper is impressive. However, I
would suggest you should provide a brief background about
digital business environment and what technological
innovations apply to them. I am also looking forward to
learning from you on how force-field analysis and impact
analysis can help in selecting the best solution from among the
choices available.
In conclusion, I would like to say that your topic is impressive
and interesting. Your approach towards structuring this research
paper is very good and readers will definitely find your writing
illuminating. I wish you good luck in your endeavor to achieve
success in your field.
Regards,
Final Project Proposal
For my final project I would like to write a report about the
profession of teaching writing or composition, at a college
level. My goal after graduating is to begin my career teaching in
higher education, perhaps at a local community college, which
is why I would like to look deeper into the most pressing topics
within the field, or what seem to be the more commonly
considered topics among published experts within the field. I
would like for this to become a sort of guide for a beginning
college writing instructor. I chose to write this project in the
style of a report because I would like to consider the thoughts
of experts on a variety of topics surrounding the profession
rather than select one issue to do an empirical study on. As a

7. beginner in the field, I am interested in what instructors
prioritize in their lessons, important considerations for teaching
online seeing as the demand for online education is very high,
how to demonstrate pedagogical skills for students who are
preparing themselves to teach writing, how to effectively
implement peer review in the classroom, and other pedagogical
skills valuable to the composition teacher. I know personally, I
am most concerned with what concepts are most important to
consider in my lessons and the best order in which to teach
them. As a first year instructor, there will be a lot of trouble
shooting, finding out what does and does not work and I would
like to find materials that explain what other instructors have
found did not work well to help strategize my own lesson
planning better. I would also like to find roadblocks that
instructors face with beginning writers in their classrooms. My
method for research during this project will be to first consult
academic databases starting with the databases available from
the Liberty University Library. Perusing published journals and
chapters from books, and other published works, will help to
shape the organization of my report and recommend more
specific topics for search as I continue looking for resources.
This means that my report will take a clearer shape as I obtain
more research. I will also likely consult writing instructors that
I know in order to get their advice and personal opinions on
topics of research which would be valuable to a beginning
instructor, as well as resources they may find useful. Already I
have found a variety of sources including essays, a letter to the
editor, a pedagogical seminar, and a journal article regarding
pedagogical focus for college writing. The Journal of
Developmental Education has a relatively recent article
published from 2016 which includes a small discussion by Doug
Hesse, president of the National Council of Teachers of English
in which Mr. Hesse states the importance of both product and
process in college composition and as well as sustained and
guided practice with examples such as, “providing generous
opportunities to write,” and sequencing writing tasks (36).

8. Reading this discussion has helped to guide me in searching for
specific pedagogical ideas such as designing a course
curriculum that is comprehensive. A pedagogy seminar by Janet
Auten titled Teaching as Text, is incredibly useful for
discovering how certain teaching outcomes can be reached with
certain assignments. An example of this is a common
assignment, weekly response essays where students write and
respond to one another online after choosing their own prompts.
Auten states that, “by putting students in charge of the response
assignments, I cede more authority to them and also mandate a
kind of peer reviewed tryout in the key skill of crafting writing
prompts” (99). Using materials like this I can discover what
methodologies instructors use to develop important writing
skills in students. I plan to organize my findings in whatever
way they can most fluidly and logically be ordered which will
likely begin with pedagogical matters, moving into lesson
planning and strategies, including considerations for online
classes. Giving some isolated consideration to online writing
classes is important due to the rapidly evolving technologies
and their impact on higher education and teaching conditions.
One resource that encouraged me to take a stronger interest the
development of online writing courses is an essay by June
Griffin and Deborah Minter who discuss just how the current
state of online writing instruction is changing due to shifting
technology as well as, “everyday literacies” (140). I appreciate
the statement presented on the first page of the essay which
states, “Online teaching requires professors and educators to
constantly think about tone and the importance of follow- up,”
they continue by stating, “You also have an intimate chance of
getting to know your students through their ideas and not just
who raises their hand or speaks first…” (140)”. They present
conditions that differ from what most are used to in a traditional
classroom setting which are important to understand as a
writing instructor, especially one who has never had an online
course. As my report takes shape, I would like to layout not
only valuable pedagogical ideas, how they apply to lesson

9. planning, and what classroom methods do and don’t work in
practice, but also what considerations should be taken of the
students. As a new college instructor, especially if given the
opportunity to teach online courses, I will be interacting and
forming relationships with a broader learning community than
ever before. I would like to understand how best to serve a
variety of learners all starting from different ability levels and
coming from different backgrounds. After considering in my
report what teaching methods are valuable and how they are
used, I must also consider what approaches to teaching writing
best serve students from a variety of backgrounds. My report
should include ways to create meaningful writing experiences
for students, ways to make students more comfortable with the
process of writing, pedagogical ideas for developing students’
skills, structure, and strategies for writing, and common
expectations for writing students which are universally clear. As
previously stated, I want to deliver my findings in a way which
is valuable to beginning writing instructors providing
information that would give those like me, important basic
considerations such as what basic foundational concepts of
college writing are taught and an idea of how they are
organized, efficient ways to teach those concepts to students
especially beginning students, how to encourage higher thinking
skills through peer review, as well as ways to translate lessons
well in an online setting. I also want the report to consider how
to best instruct students who may also be studying to teach
writing themselves and students who come from a variety of
backgrounds. This report should also include findings about
lessons or pedagogical ideas which did not work when
implemented or programs that have not been as successful for
students. This report should give beginning instructors a better
idea of what the demand of their field will entail and what areas
of concern are most valuable to consider as they decide how to
plan for their first position teaching writing. This information is
useful because often after obtaining a masters degree instructors
most difficult year, their first, begins with the search for a

10. comprehensive textbook which will have to include a logical
delivery of the most important topics for their subject, and will
be followed with their own study of whatever class materials
they choose and the structuring of a course based off of how
they plan to deliver the material in the textbook. These
beginning teachers will have to do trouble shooting of their own
discovering as they go what works well and what does not
within their lessons and assignments. Knowing what topics
experts find most valuable and how to deliver them most
effectively to a variety of students is helping when planning
what text and class materials might be most effective. Knowing
what ideas may have failed for other instructors and knowing
how they delivered their same topics of study in an online
format is also valuable when designing your own course of
instruction.
