Writing a Philosophy paperEach topic I give you will ask you t.docxambersalomon88660
Writing a Philosophy paper
Each topic I give you will ask you to “explain and evaluate” a position or idea or argument. There are four elements you must address in your essay (these four will be the elements I am grading).
I will give you a score of 0-5 for each of these four elements. I will then add the scores together to calculate your grade on the essay. If you score a perfect “5” on each element the maximum total score would be 20.
The score can be converted into a letter grade:
Score Letter Grade
19-20 A
18 A-
17 B
16 B-
14-15 C
13 D
12 D-
11-below F
I provide the scale for each element below. With each scale I have included specific directions that will help you score higher on that element. The bold print is what I will use to determine your score. I hope that by reading this you will feel confident that you know how to organize and write the essay.
#1: Describe, identify and explain two or more different philosophical positions and the relevant philosophical concepts.
As I grade, I will ask myself, “How well did you describe and explain both positions (either two different positions or an argument and counterargument)? How clear and accurate are your explanations and the use of the relevant philosophical terms/concepts?”
Provides clear, accurate and full explanations of each philosophical position.
Provides mostly clear, accurate and full explanations of each philosophical position.
(a) Provides a clear and accurate explanation of one position and a poor explanation of the second position or (b) provides explanations for both positions that are unclear and/or incomplete and/or inaccurate.
2 (a) Fails to provide an explanation for one of the two theories or (b) provides poor explanations of both positions.
1 (a) Fails to provide an explanation for one of the two theories and (b) provides a poor explanation for the other position.
The essay was not on the topic or there was no essay at all
#2: Apply critical thinking skills by analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of philosophical positions or theories and by writing a clear and coherent essay. As I grade, I will ask myself, “Did you explain the issue to be considered? How well do you analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the theories or positions? And how clear and coherent is your overall presentation?”
Gives coherent and consistent reasoning throughout the essay and a clear and comprehensive explanation of the issue to be considered. Also provides a coherent analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the positions at issue.
Uses generally coherent and consistent reasoning throughout the essay and a clear, but not necessarily comprehensive, explanation of the issue to be considered. Also provides a coherent analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of the positions at issue.
Uses some coherent and consistent reasoning that either contains clear weakness in reasoning or fails to explain the issue to be considered. Also fai.

Congratulations! You made it to your final assignment, and you have learned so much along the way.
In the personal essay, you learned how to write with a strong personal voice.
In the informative essay, you learned how to write objectively and support your points with credible sources to inform the audience.
Now in your final assignment, you will combine these writing techniques to write a stance essay. A stance essay takes a position on a topic and argues and supports that position with evidence. Consider your topic:
What possible positions/arguments are there?
What position resonates with you? (Which position do you believe is correct?)
What are your main points?
What are the counterpoints? Are you ready to dispute them?
Do you have enough evidence to effectively support your argument?
For the stance essay, your personal voice (your perspective) should come through. This is just like assignment 1, except you should maintain a formal tone. And just like assignment 2, you will need to support your points with credible sources. You’re ready to take a position on the topic you have been writing about and to be persuasive!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Compose a three-four (3-4) page paper in which you do the following:
Use third person point of view (POV) and the appropriate voice and tone throughout your paper.
Did you use third person pronouns? (he, she, they, their)
Does your personality carry over in your writing? Are your word choices personal and consistent? Is the tone formal?
Does it express your attitude about the topic?
Write an introduction paragraph, which includes your thesis statement. It is suggested that this paragraph contain 5-7 sentences.
Does your introduction include solutions or approaches on the topic?
Does your thesis statement include three supporting reasons that clearly express your stance on the topic?
Is your thesis statement clear and concise?
Does your introduction provide a preview of the rest of your essay?
Write a supporting/body paragraph for each of the three (3) points/reasons from your thesis statement. It is suggest- ed that each paragraph contain at least 5-7 sentences.
Do your body paragraphs support each point of your thesis with relevant examples or statistics?
Do you address the opinions or concerns that your audience might have?
Did you paraphrase, quote, or summarize properly to avoid plagiarism? Did you comment on each quotation?

What is a personal essay? It’s one of many types of formal essays. All formal essays maintain the same basic structure: Introduction

reasons why the topic is important to you. The topic choices are presented in your WebText. To make this a personal essay, it’s
important to include one or more stories from your life that demonstrate why your selected topic is meaningful to you.
Important note: Personal Essays DO NOT incorporate any type of research from the WebText or outside sources. If you have written
a Personal Essay in a previous course, please reach out to your professor to see if you can re-use it. You are not permitted to use ANY
paper from an unrelated current or past course.

you?

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
