Argumentative Position Paper (Essay 4)
This project is the culminating writing and research project of the semester, building on the skills you have developed throughout the semester. In a sense, many restrictions are gone: you must define the current issue you write about, you must define the audience you are writing to, and you must determine-to a larger extent- how to best organize and present information. You should draw on the rhetorical concepts we discussed early in the semester (logos, pathos, ethos, kairos, doxa) to consider how to most effectively craft this essay.
A proposal presents a problem and a solution or solutions to that problem. For this essay, the problem must be related to a current issue of your choice; you may choose a topic from one of the class case studies or a different topic of your own. It must, however, have been relevant in the last six months. Drawing on the sources you presented in your annotated bibliography- and substituting other sources as necessary- you will persuade your audience that a problem exists and that your solutions(s) is best, at least for the time being.
The following process may be useful as you create your proposal:
· Choose an issue to research. Make sure it is timely (relevant within the last six months) and something you care about, since you will spend a lot of time working with this topic. This can be from the class case studies or be entirely different. Try to make the issue as specific as possible. For instance, instead of “refugee camps,” narrow this down to something like: “impact of U.S. medical aid in refugee camps.” This is much more specific and manageable.
· Brainstorm a list of questions you have about the topic, problems you see others defining or that you identify yourself, and possible solutions to this problem.
· Explore the topic via research in your annotated bibliography.
· Define your audience- who would be interested in this issue and why? How much new information will you be offering them? Are they likely to already agree or disagree with your perspective on the topic?
· Return to your list and define a specific problem(s) you want to persuade readers exists and a specific solution(s) you have developed to address this problem(s).
· Create an outline of your essay to map out how you will organize the information.
Paper layout-
In the introduction:
· State the issue(s) or problem(s) and grab the reader’s attention
· Argue for the seriousness of the problem(s)
· State the thesis in the form of “Somebody needs to do/not do something because . . .”
(This is a formula; you must add information to this framework to create your thesis statement.)
In the body:
· Give the problem’s background if your audience is unfamiliar with it
· Define what the problem is, presenting evidence to prove that it is a problem and countering evidence from those whose viewpoints differ from yours
· Describe how this problem, if left unhandled, could affect the future.
· Present your solut.

Summary Exercise Instructions
For this assignment only, there is no draft option. You should simply submit your required final copy whenever you are ready. This assignment is designed to inform your larger research project.
Additional helpful resources:
Summary Exercise Rubric | Summary Exercise Sample 1 | Summary Exercise Sample 2
Option #1: Investigate and Interview
You have already chosen a topic and created a working thesis statement for your research paper topic. Find a non-profit organization (e.g., one that provides literacy instruction, a support group for cancer patients, a shelter that provides refuge for battered women) in your city that is connected to your topic. For example, if you are researching services for blind people, you might interview someone at the National Federation of the Blind.
Explain your assignment and request an interview with a staff member who is considered an expert in the field. Create 10 to 20 questions related to your thesis statement to ask the interviewee. For the writing assignment (Note that you should be conducting this interview yourself. You should not be summarizing an interview that someone else conducted):
· Create an introduction that includes the interviewee’s background. What is his/ her name? What is his/her position? How long has your interviewee worked at this organization, and what is his/her role there? These are just some of the questions that you can ask to help you build your introductory paragraph.
· Summarize the interviewee's responses in approximately three cohesive body paragraphs.
· Finish with a concluding paragraph that explains how this interview helped you better understand your chosen research paper topic.
Option #2: Getting What you Need from Periodicals
Locate credible sources for your chosen topic of the research paper project. Find at least five relevant sources from periodicals (Please do not use basic informative website such as ehow or Wikipedia. The source you choose will ideally be an academic or research-based article). From the sources that you find, choose one to summarize. The source you choose should be a credible periodical and not merely a random website. Also keep in mind that your chosen source should be research-based and non-fiction. For example, you should not summarize a short story for this assignment. Choose a source such as a journal article, an essay in an anthology, a magazine article, or a newspaper article. For this option, you might use this as a guideline for crafting your thesis statement: John Smith’s book The Guiding Light explained (add first paragraph focus), (add second paragraph focus), and (add third paragraph focus).

Project 3: Public Argument
Due: 11/18 by
midnight
GENERAL INFORMATION
Now that you've completed your Controversy Analysis research paper, you've become pretty knowledgeable about your topic. You've probably also developed a new opinion (or strengthened an existing opinion) about your topic. The Public Argument is a chance for you to share your opinion, and back it up with supporting evidence from your research.
Our Public Argument assignment will produce
TWO
end products:
a Written Argument (worth 20% of your final grade, like the other essays) and a Presentation (worth 5% of your final grade).
The Written Argument will be due on
April 24th
; our Presentations will take place
April 22nd-May 2nd
in class.
For your Written Argument, you'll decide on a Stance (
which position do you argue?)
and an Approach (
The type of argument: proposal, causal, position, refutation, evaluative
), as well as a Genre or form/medium for your message. The following are some examples of what most of you have chosen: (
remember to run your choice by me if you haven’t
)
·
A letter to the Editor or Op-Ed in a specific newspaper or magazine
·
A letter to Someone in Power (a legislator/other lawmaker, the head of a company, etc.)
·
A blog post / Facebook note / website/ online petition
·
A video
·
A poster/brochure or pamphlet
This is not an analysis. It’s an argument!
You’ve been looking at and picking apart and putting into conversation everyone else’s texts: Now, it’s your turn to speak your mind. This essay is more creative than the other two, and you’re encouraged to have as much fun with it as possible while still remembering…
the Rhetorical Situation.
-To write your public argument, you must remember both the author’s(s’) and your own rhetorical situation. The rhetorical situation is comprised of the audience, purpose, and context.
*The audience is “for whom” the writing is produced, the persons whose minds and hearts the author hopes to move to think or feel in a certain way.
*The purpose is “for what” the writing is produced, the aim of the author in composing.
*The context includes the time, place, and circumstances in which the writing is written, impacting, in turn, its composition, distribution, and reception.
This assignment will not have a length requirement. The form your writing takes will be based on what Genre you choose to write
in. No matter what form your writing takes, though, it still must:
·
Have a clear thesis, well-supported by researched evidence & your own explanations.
You need to use at least 3 sources to back up you argument
.
·
Be composed in Standard Written English, following appropriate grammar and spelling rules
·
Appropriately cite referenced sources: depending on what format you choose, you might still want to use MLA in-text citation, or you could use footnotes, or hyperlinks – just be CONSISTENT and have a REASON why you chose to cite the way you did.
·
Include a Works Cited page (in standard MLA f.

Controversial Issues in American Culture Research Paper
Assignment:
Living in a diverse society, we are often trying to balance our personal experience and opinions agai nst a
backdrop of the large communal experience. What we think, feel, and believe can be in sharp contrast
with the people and the society around us. Thus, students need to learn how to research, structure, and
advance their opinions by providing evidence to support them. This assignment will help students
formulate their opinions on a controversial topic in an argumentative essay using evidence from primary
and secondary sources. Though nearly any topic will suffice for the purpose of this paper, all topics must
be open to dispute. Students will need to formulate their opinions on the topic but also concede and
refute the oppositional opinions through counte rarguments. We will use class time to discuss research
methods but the rest of your research will be your responsibility.
Decide On a Topic:
Deciding on a topic that is not too broad, nor too narrow will take some effort . In order to present a
convincing argument, consider the following:
1. Draw on the student’s personal experience. It is important to spend time and energy on a topic
that means something to you. Think about topics they may come up in your chosen career field,
in everyday life, or things that you think should be changed in society , but that there is no easy
answer or resolution.
2. Be sure to “resist binary thinking” (Greene and Lidinsky 88). Make sure that the topic chosen can
support several, if not many, different viewpoints.
3. Synthesize others’ views and find new ways to look at the issues.
4. When researching, read to “discover a writer’s frame” to see how his/her ideas and theories can
benefit your own, or if they can be used in counterarguments.
5. Decide whether the issue an issue of fact, value, or policy? Is it a combination of two or more?
Topics should present a position that has varying perspectives.
General Topics include:
Addiction/Alcohol/ Drugs
Bilingual Education
Birth Control
Body Image
Censorship
Eating Disorders
Ethnic Stereotypes
Family Values
Gay Rights
Gender Discrimination
Gun Control
Health

· Assessment of essays
All essays returned to you will have a marking matrix attached with comments. These are meant to be constructive and are made to point out errors and areas where improvements could be made. The comments will explain why you got the mark you did. They are, therefore, usually ‘critical’. You should consider these comments carefully, and try to understand why they were made. If you do not see the point, or want further comment, please take this matter up with whoever marked your essay, preferably via the course coordinator A/Prof Lara Lamb.
The following points will be noted particularly in marking essays:
1. Relevance to the topic set.
2. Organisation and effectiveness of argument, and proper use of anthropological concepts and principles as outlined during the course of your reading.
3. Evidence of reading outside the set texts and accuracy of facts presented in the essay.
4. Originality – careful and critical thought about the topic, and use of illustrative material from independent reading and also, to some extent, from observation and experience.
5. Accuracy and clarity of written English, including grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Overall legibility and general setting out will be noted, especially of essay structure and referencing.
How to write an essay/presentation
Do not go over the word limit. This is set specifically to help you develop a sharp and concise style. Going under the word limit is preferable to ‘padding out’ your answer with vagaries or ‘waffle’ to reach the word limit.
Do not use value judgements of subjective terminology such as: primitive, backward, surprisingly advanced, superior or developed. You must be objective and indicate clearly what you mean by your terms.
Writing an essay is a gradual process; the final version of an essay should have been developed over several drafts, prepared as you explore the topic and compile notes from reading material.
You will usually need to do some reading before you can grasp the significance of the set topic. Begin with the suggested references in your book of reading and, as you read, keep a copy of the actual wording of the topic/question in view. Initial reading will enable you to:
1. Recognise the implications underlying the actual wording of the topic.
2. Understand key ideas and terms.
3. Identify all parts of the set question.
After some preliminary reading, when you feel you are beginning to grasp the topic, draft an outline plan for your essay. This will involve drawing up headings for each major section of your essay, writing a statement, in .
Compare and Contrast Essay AssignmentA Compare and Contrast essaLynellBull52
Compare and Contrast Essay Assignment
A Compare and Contrast essay explores the similarities and differences between two or more items, ideas, topics, trends, works, etc. When we compare, we point out the similarities between two items, and when we contrast, we show their differences. In fact, Compare and Contrast is one of the main rhetorical strategies that writers use to develop ideas and support their arguments.
For this assignment, you will write a Compare and Contrast essay in which you will
explore the similarities and differences between two of the following topics:
1. Generation Z vs. Millennials
2. Generation Z vs. Generation X
3. How Generation Z is perceived vs How Generation Z really is according to you
The American Family Then and Now
1. Compare and Contrast the way and times in which you were raised to that of children today. Do you think that your parent’s were more strict or concerned than today’s parents? Do you think that kids today expect too much? Provide specific examples as to how kids today are being raised similarly and differently than you.
2. How has the role of the woman changed in the family? Is this change good for families? How has the emergence of women in the workforce and their becoming "bread winners" affected the family?
3. As I look at the male figures in my own family, I can see that the role of the male has changed in two generations. My grandfather, for example, has never changed a diaper or cooked a meal in fifty-two years of marriage, yet I do these two things often. In your own family, how has the role of your gender changed in the last two generations. While the changes are probably many, there are still some things that have probably stayed the same. In considering this topic, be sure to include some of the things that are similar regarding the role of your gender in your family structure.
4. More and more couples are choosing not to be married. How and why is this different from the past? Why are people not getting married? How does the affect the family?
5. Non-traditional families are becoming the new normal in the United States. Discuss and compare the traditional family and non-traditional families.
Your purpose for this essay will be to simply inform your audience on their similarities and differences, on the relative merits of the items discussed, and establish the significance of this comparison and contrast. This last point will be expressed in the thesis of your essay which will also strengthen your essay and clarify its purpose.
Process
The first thing you want to do is brainstorm everything you know about each topic, research both of them, go back and look for connections that show similarities and differences, and then develop your thesis. Remember to select only those aspects that are explicitly comparable or contrastable. After you have formulated your thesis statement, established your basis of comparison, and selected your points for discussion, you are ready to organ ...
Writing Strong Argument Papers Helpful Hints An argument or a .docxericbrooks84875
Writing Strong Argument Papers Helpful Hints
An argument or a persuasive paper has the power to make people change their minds about a topic, or allows them to really understand and accept your position as a valid one. You know how strongly people feel about their beliefs, so you can guess that writing a paper that will command the readers’ respect is challenging. So, in order to make strong arguments and to have the power to persuade people, follow some simple suggestions:
Get oriented:
1. Pick a topic you feel strongly about. It doesn’t matter whether you agree with it, or disagree with it. Think of points on both sides of the issue - the pros and the cons of each topic.
2. List some arguments from both sides and then think about how your audience feels about each of these.
3. Pick whichever side has the most convincing information - you might have to change your mind and change your main idea as you discover facts that you were not aware of as you started thinking about the topic.
4. Pay close attention to your audience. Think of what it believes in, and be prepared to discuss some of the points that would be most interesting to this group.
5. Once you considered both sides, and considered the audience, then you are ready to to take one side. Believe that you are right, and prepare yourself well to defend your thoughts. You will need good research to do this!
6. Make sure that there is reliable information available to support your position.
7. You will need facts, statistics, and reports from sources you and your audience can trust.
8. Make sure that you study the other side as well as you study your side. You don't want any surprise facts that you can't defend to show up after you finish your paper!
9. Be very well informed about the issue you want to discuss. Issues have different dimensions – there is always a social, a technical or scientific, an economic, or another type of intellectual aspect you will need to be aware of.
10. Be clear about which part, or point of the issue you are focusing on.
11. Anticipate objections and be prepared to address them.
12. Think of the points about this issue where there is common ground - where you can agree with the other side
Now You Can Start Writing
1. Assume that you will have many different opinions among your audience. Your readers will judge the strength of your arguments. Write your paper to convince them that your side makes the most sense.
2. Right in your introduction, establish credibility. Your readers need to know that you have studied the topic, that you are being open and fair-minded about it, and that you can understand their points of view. Here is a good place to address some of the points you have in common with the other side.
3. Include your thesis at the end of the introduction.
4. Support your thesis with the 3 strongest arguments you can find. These will be the outline of your paper.
5. Back your arguments up with very strong, specific evidence:
· Use .

term paper.
Elements of the Term Paper
The outline for your term paper is the agenda you set for the things you want to
accomplish. A good term paper will ask an interesting question and offer a
plausible answer. It should be plausible in that it is (probably) true, but also not
obviously or patently true; and it should be supportable in that it is subject to
factual observation or logical demonstration (Gordon Harvey, Harvard Writing
Program). No matter what your field or topic, there is a fairly standard set of

paper should include a table of contents. · A table of symbols is helpful if you use
many symbols. · Tables of tables, abbreviations, and figures are usually not
necessary
iii. Introduction: Your introduction is very important. Pose an interesting question
or problem. Use it to do the following things: · Motivate the topic: Why should the
reader be interested? Are there current developments that make the topic
relevant? What is the larger context of the topic? · Clarify the question: Which
issues are discussed, and which are avoided in the essay? · Outline related
literature and explain how you chose it. · Briefly summarize your results. · Outline
the structure of the rest of the text.

Reflective analysis helps you to make an evidence-based argument.docxcarlt3
Reflective analysis
helps you to make an evidence-based argument about yourself, a skill that will benefit you not only here at Drexel, but also outside of Drexel. In your personal, academic, and professional life, it will be important to establish and reflect on goals, to periodically examine what you have accomplished, and to ask critical questions about your learning: What did I hope to accomplish in this class/project/ experience? How did I grow as a person, scholar, or professional? What evidence do I have for that growth? How does this growth prepare me for what is next? In many contexts, you will be asked to discuss, either in person or in writing, what kind of student or employee you will be. In these contexts,
it is reflective analysis that will allow you to examine your experience for the evidence you need to construct clear and honest answers for yourself and others.
Your Reflective Analysis should accomplish four tasks:
1.
It should make
an argument
about your writing development. Read the FWP Outcomes and choose
ONE
of the Outcomes as the focus for your argument. You have lots of options here.
2.
It should use pieces of your own writing as evidence for your argument. Specifically, you should integrate the following compositions as sources in your analysis:
a.
1 major project from 101
b.
1 major project from 102
c.
2 informal compositions from either 101 or 102
d.
Any other supporting compositions you would like to use
3.
It should do “meta-analysis” of those artifacts as it makes its argument. “Meta-analysis” is your examination of your own work, your writing-about-your-writing.
4.
It should be directed to a specific audience: Professional employer, friend, teacher, parent or guardian, future child, yourself…you choose.
Citing Your Own Writing
:
In your Reflective Analysis, you should, of course, provide proper in-text citation of your sources, just as you would with any other source in a composition. In this case, however, your sources are your own compositions; so, you’ll be citing yourself. Here is an example:
In my second project for English 101, I discuss the impact of drafting on my writing development: “I have always drafted because I have been required to. But I really wanted to reflect analytically on how the process of drafting actually impacted my overall writing development. Was I becoming a ‘better’ writer?” (“Drafting and Development” 1).
You can choose from one of the flowing outcome:
1) Students will learn
the terminology, rhetorical ideas, and practical approaches of writing
persuasively/argumentatively
.
Assessment/Deliverables:
•Students will demonstrate that knowledge and those skills in at least two major assignments and several minor writing assignments.
•Through assignments/class discussions, students will demonstrate an understanding of and fluency with rhetorical concepts and terms such as
argument, persuasion, visual literacy, logic, logical fallacy, inductive/deductive, and r.

This article discusses the use of peer education to reduce sexually

virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, in young people. I t

young people in Uganda,

MORE THAN half of people newly infected with
the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
worldwide are aged 15-24 years (United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF) etal 2002).
Empowering young people with the basic human
right of reproductive choice is, therefore,
critically important.
Over the past decade there has been a growing
interest in involving young people as peer
educators in health education in the UK,
particularly in the area of sexual health (Health
Education Board for Scotland (HEBS) 2003),
Peer education approaches offer the possibility
of changing behaviour and increasing knowledge
to prevent HIV, This article explains what a peer
education approach is and gives guidance on
how to develop a project focused on young
people. Although the author's experience of
developing peer education projects in Uganda for
HIV prevention is discussed, some of the
principles can be transferred to working with
young people in the UK,
Young people are at the centre of the global
HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS) pandemic. They are also a key human
resource for the future wellbeing of communities.
Each day nearly 6,000 young people aged from
5 0 november 16 :: vol 20 no 10 :: 2005
15-24 years become infected with HIV (UNICEF
etal2002). Educating young people about HIV,
and teaching them skills in negotiation, conflict
resolution, critical thinking, decision-making and
communication improve their self-confidence
and ability to make informed choices, for
example, postponing sex until they are mature
enough to protect themselves from HIV, other
sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and
unwanted pregnancies (UNICEF ef a/2002).
In 2003, an estimated 4,1 per cent of adults in
Uganda and 0,2 per cent in the UK were living
with HIV/AIDS (Joint United Nations
Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 1999,

Arrive at Opera as we know it today Peri’s and Monteverdi’s ope.docxjewisonantone
Arrive at Opera as we know it today: Peri’s and Monteverdi’s operas
Since the early twentieth century, European musical style has significantly changed its tradition for music as having take place around 1600.[footnoteRef:1] In general, it is described as the transition from Renaissance to Baroque style. Opera as an art originated from Italy in the 16th century and it spread out to Europe. This work is associated with drama, dance, vocal and visual music with impressive effects of the Greek and Romans. Orpheus was the greatest of musicians in ancient Greek mythology, it is challenging the gods with his capability to sing and play. Euridice by Peri and Orfeo by Monteverid are well-known works of early opera, which made use of Orpheus’ story and the same libretto. Peri’s Euridice is first survived and credited with early advances in opera composition as recitative and advancing Florentine Camerata’s ideas of Greek drama. On other hand, Monteverdi’s Orfeo Baroque operatic works include a variety of genres and types of styles. The text and plots are drawn from classical antiquity or ancient history, and the action involves a variety of special scenic effects.[footnoteRef:2] Because both works used the same libretto, in examining the two is very informative between two operas. Monteverdi’s opera is more widely known and performed today because it has a greater variety of musical style and richer sounds in instrumental and chorus. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the operas of Peri and Monteverdi’s libretto in various adaptations. This essay will cover an examination of monadic style works, instrumentations, and choral music. Ultimately, it will be shown that the conceptual and composers goals of Jacopo Peri and Claudio Monteverdi are in setting text to music. These ideas and changes effectively influenced the gradual growth of opera with the invention and improvement of today’s opera. [1: David Schulenberg, Music of the Baroque. New York; Oxford; Oxford University Press, 2014, 35.] [2: Schulenberg, 59.]
Before we examine Peri’s Euridice and Monteverdi’s Orfeo, it is necessary to acknowledge the experiments of Florentine Camerata. Florentine Camerata was an important group who met to discuss societies or academies and they were leading to write an ancient Greek and music. Florentine Camerata involved in Vincenzo Galilei and Giulo Caccini, but also Jacopo Peri, Ottavio Rinuccini, and Girolamo Mei participated. Florentine Camerata started with the experiment of stile recitative,which was a Greek style between speech and songs that was eventually called opera.
Rinuccini’s poems were a favorite subject for operas because the mythical hero is himself a singer and the combination of a simple action with a diversity of expressive situations.[footnoteRef:3] Peri was the monadic of the Florentine composers who wrote Eurydice, which is the earliest surviving opera with a completed setting of Rinuccini’s poem. It premiered on October 6, 1600 at .

Arriving to California State University, Northridge
Choosing university is like a puzzle game or a snake and ladder game.
Since I came from my country Kuwait I didn’t had any obstacle in the new country but I face changes in many area such as accommodation, environment, cultural, and languages. Because I had very excellent department in the ministry of education abroad which encourage people or show a great vision of the benefit to study abroad. Also, giving a great orientation before traveling date that helps me to be more familiar from the new things that I will have. Therefore I planned to study my bachelor in the United State. So I filled my application and I submit all my documents and paper to the ministry. Then, our cultural office processed my application and after that they send for me an acceptance letter to travel to U.S.A. Nevertheless, there are two major steps for student to be able to roll to the university in the United States. First, register for institutes for English to improve the English language. For example, I registered for UCI (university of California Irvine extension). In this period, I took English classes in writing, grammar, listing, reading, and vocabulary. Also, these classes help me to study for the requirement university test either the TOEFL or IELTS test. Second, searching and applying for the universities that have my major and agree with the condition of our scholarship.
In addition, most important thing that I contact my scholarship advisor in every steps because my advisor helps me to complete any document for the universities. As an international student I connect nearby my immigration department in the school and my advisor, this circle helps me to know my way and be ale to continue my problem or an issue. Thesis statement therefore, choosing the university in the united stated especially California is difficult in many things such as the major, the state and the study plan.

· Assessment of essays
All essays returned to you will have a marking matrix attached with comments. These are meant to be constructive and are made to point out errors and areas where improvements could be made. The comments will explain why you got the mark you did. They are, therefore, usually ‘critical’. You should consider these comments carefully, and try to understand why they were made. If you do not see the point, or want further comment, please take this matter up with whoever marked your essay, preferably via the course coordinator A/Prof Lara Lamb.
The following points will be noted particularly in marking essays:
1. Relevance to the topic set.
2. Organisation and effectiveness of argument, and proper use of anthropological concepts and principles as outlined during the course of your reading.
3. Evidence of reading outside the set texts and accuracy of facts presented in the essay.
4. Originality – careful and critical thought about the topic, and use of illustrative material from independent reading and also, to some extent, from observation and experience.
5. Accuracy and clarity of written English, including grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Overall legibility and general setting out will be noted, especially of essay structure and referencing.
How to write an essay/presentation
Do not go over the word limit. This is set specifically to help you develop a sharp and concise style. Going under the word limit is preferable to ‘padding out’ your answer with vagaries or ‘waffle’ to reach the word limit.
Do not use value judgements of subjective terminology such as: primitive, backward, surprisingly advanced, superior or developed. You must be objective and indicate clearly what you mean by your terms.
Writing an essay is a gradual process; the final version of an essay should have been developed over several drafts, prepared as you explore the topic and compile notes from reading material.
You will usually need to do some reading before you can grasp the significance of the set topic. Begin with the suggested references in your book of reading and, as you read, keep a copy of the actual wording of the topic/question in view. Initial reading will enable you to:
1. Recognise the implications underlying the actual wording of the topic.
2. Understand key ideas and terms.
3. Identify all parts of the set question.
After some preliminary reading, when you feel you are beginning to grasp the topic, draft an outline plan for your essay. This will involve drawing up headings for each major section of your essay, writing a statement, in .
Compare and Contrast Essay AssignmentA Compare and Contrast essaLynellBull52
Compare and Contrast Essay Assignment
A Compare and Contrast essay explores the similarities and differences between two or more items, ideas, topics, trends, works, etc. When we compare, we point out the similarities between two items, and when we contrast, we show their differences. In fact, Compare and Contrast is one of the main rhetorical strategies that writers use to develop ideas and support their arguments.
For this assignment, you will write a Compare and Contrast essay in which you will
explore the similarities and differences between two of the following topics:
1. Generation Z vs. Millennials
2. Generation Z vs. Generation X
3. How Generation Z is perceived vs How Generation Z really is according to you
The American Family Then and Now
1. Compare and Contrast the way and times in which you were raised to that of children today. Do you think that your parent’s were more strict or concerned than today’s parents? Do you think that kids today expect too much? Provide specific examples as to how kids today are being raised similarly and differently than you.
2. How has the role of the woman changed in the family? Is this change good for families? How has the emergence of women in the workforce and their becoming "bread winners" affected the family?
3. As I look at the male figures in my own family, I can see that the role of the male has changed in two generations. My grandfather, for example, has never changed a diaper or cooked a meal in fifty-two years of marriage, yet I do these two things often. In your own family, how has the role of your gender changed in the last two generations. While the changes are probably many, there are still some things that have probably stayed the same. In considering this topic, be sure to include some of the things that are similar regarding the role of your gender in your family structure.
4. More and more couples are choosing not to be married. How and why is this different from the past? Why are people not getting married? How does the affect the family?
5. Non-traditional families are becoming the new normal in the United States. Discuss and compare the traditional family and non-traditional families.
Your purpose for this essay will be to simply inform your audience on their similarities and differences, on the relative merits of the items discussed, and establish the significance of this comparison and contrast. This last point will be expressed in the thesis of your essay which will also strengthen your essay and clarify its purpose.
Process
The first thing you want to do is brainstorm everything you know about each topic, research both of them, go back and look for connections that show similarities and differences, and then develop your thesis. Remember to select only those aspects that are explicitly comparable or contrastable. After you have formulated your thesis statement, established your basis of comparison, and selected your points for discussion, you are ready to organ ...

Writing Strong Argument Papers Helpful Hints
An argument or a persuasive paper has the power to make people change their minds about a topic, or allows them to really understand and accept your position as a valid one. You know how strongly people feel about their beliefs, so you can guess that writing a paper that will command the readers’ respect is challenging. So, in order to make strong arguments and to have the power to persuade people, follow some simple suggestions:
Get oriented:
1. Pick a topic you feel strongly about. It doesn’t matter whether you agree with it, or disagree with it. Think of points on both sides of the issue - the pros and the cons of each topic.
2. List some arguments from both sides and then think about how your audience feels about each of these.
3. Pick whichever side has the most convincing information - you might have to change your mind and change your main idea as you discover facts that you were not aware of as you started thinking about the topic.
4. Pay close attention to your audience. Think of what it believes in, and be prepared to discuss some of the points that would be most interesting to this group.
5. Once you considered both sides, and considered the audience, then you are ready to to take one side. Believe that you are right, and prepare yourself well to defend your thoughts. You will need good research to do this!
6. Make sure that there is reliable information available to support your position.
7. You will need facts, statistics, and reports from sources you and your audience can trust.
8. Make sure that you study the other side as well as you study your side. You don't want any surprise facts that you can't defend to show up after you finish your paper!
9. Be very well informed about the issue you want to discuss. Issues have different dimensions – there is always a social, a technical or scientific, an economic, or another type of intellectual aspect you will need to be aware of.
10. Be clear about which part, or point of the issue you are focusing on.
11. Anticipate objections and be prepared to address them.
12. Think of the points about this issue where there is common ground - where you can agree with the other side
Now You Can Start Writing
1. Assume that you will have many different opinions among your audience. Your readers will judge the strength of your arguments. Write your paper to convince them that your side makes the most sense.
2. Right in your introduction, establish credibility. Your readers need to know that you have studied the topic, that you are being open and fair-minded about it, and that you can understand their points of view. Here is a good place to address some of the points you have in common with the other side.
3. Include your thesis at the end of the introduction.
4. Support your thesis with the 3 strongest arguments you can find. These will be the outline of your paper.
5. Back your arguments up with very strong, specific evidence:
· Use .

Reflective analysis helps you to make an evidence-based argument.docxcarlt3
Reflective analysis
helps you to make an evidence-based argument about yourself, a skill that will benefit you not only here at Drexel, but also outside of Drexel. In your personal, academic, and professional life, it will be important to establish and reflect on goals, to periodically examine what you have accomplished, and to ask critical questions about your learning: What did I hope to accomplish in this class/project/ experience? How did I grow as a person, scholar, or professional? What evidence do I have for that growth? How does this growth prepare me for what is next? In many contexts, you will be asked to discuss, either in person or in writing, what kind of student or employee you will be. In these contexts,
it is reflective analysis that will allow you to examine your experience for the evidence you need to construct clear and honest answers for yourself and others.
Your Reflective Analysis should accomplish four tasks:
1.
It should make
an argument
about your writing development. Read the FWP Outcomes and choose
ONE
of the Outcomes as the focus for your argument. You have lots of options here.
2.
It should use pieces of your own writing as evidence for your argument. Specifically, you should integrate the following compositions as sources in your analysis:
a.
1 major project from 101
b.
1 major project from 102
c.
2 informal compositions from either 101 or 102
d.
Any other supporting compositions you would like to use
3.
It should do “meta-analysis” of those artifacts as it makes its argument. “Meta-analysis” is your examination of your own work, your writing-about-your-writing.
4.
It should be directed to a specific audience: Professional employer, friend, teacher, parent or guardian, future child, yourself…you choose.
Citing Your Own Writing
:
In your Reflective Analysis, you should, of course, provide proper in-text citation of your sources, just as you would with any other source in a composition. In this case, however, your sources are your own compositions; so, you’ll be citing yourself. Here is an example:
In my second project for English 101, I discuss the impact of drafting on my writing development: “I have always drafted because I have been required to. But I really wanted to reflect analytically on how the process of drafting actually impacted my overall writing development. Was I becoming a ‘better’ writer?” (“Drafting and Development” 1).
You can choose from one of the flowing outcome:
1) Students will learn
the terminology, rhetorical ideas, and practical approaches of writing
persuasively/argumentatively
.
Assessment/Deliverables:
•Students will demonstrate that knowledge and those skills in at least two major assignments and several minor writing assignments.
•Through assignments/class discussions, students will demonstrate an understanding of and fluency with rhetorical concepts and terms such as
argument, persuasion, visual literacy, logic, logical fallacy, inductive/deductive, and r.

This article discusses the use of peer education to reduce sexually

virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, in young people. I t

young people in Uganda,

MORE THAN half of people newly infected with
the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
worldwide are aged 15-24 years (United Nations
Children's Fund (UNICEF) etal 2002).
Empowering young people with the basic human
right of reproductive choice is, therefore,
critically important.
Over the past decade there has been a growing
interest in involving young people as peer
educators in health education in the UK,
particularly in the area of sexual health (Health
Education Board for Scotland (HEBS) 2003),
Peer education approaches offer the possibility
of changing behaviour and increasing knowledge
to prevent HIV, This article explains what a peer
education approach is and gives guidance on
how to develop a project focused on young
people. Although the author's experience of
developing peer education projects in Uganda for
HIV prevention is discussed, some of the
principles can be transferred to working with
young people in the UK,
Young people are at the centre of the global
HIV and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome
(AIDS) pandemic. They are also a key human
resource for the future wellbeing of communities.
Each day nearly 6,000 young people aged from
5 0 november 16 :: vol 20 no 10 :: 2005
15-24 years become infected with HIV (UNICEF
etal2002). Educating young people about HIV,
and teaching them skills in negotiation, conflict
resolution, critical thinking, decision-making and
communication improve their self-confidence
and ability to make informed choices, for
example, postponing sex until they are mature
enough to protect themselves from HIV, other
sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and
unwanted pregnancies (UNICEF ef a/2002).
In 2003, an estimated 4,1 per cent of adults in
Uganda and 0,2 per cent in the UK were living
with HIV/AIDS (Joint United Nations
Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) 1999,

Arrive at Opera as we know it today Peri’s and Monteverdi’s ope.docxjewisonantone
Arrive at Opera as we know it today: Peri’s and Monteverdi’s operas
Since the early twentieth century, European musical style has significantly changed its tradition for music as having take place around 1600.[footnoteRef:1] In general, it is described as the transition from Renaissance to Baroque style. Opera as an art originated from Italy in the 16th century and it spread out to Europe. This work is associated with drama, dance, vocal and visual music with impressive effects of the Greek and Romans. Orpheus was the greatest of musicians in ancient Greek mythology, it is challenging the gods with his capability to sing and play. Euridice by Peri and Orfeo by Monteverid are well-known works of early opera, which made use of Orpheus’ story and the same libretto. Peri’s Euridice is first survived and credited with early advances in opera composition as recitative and advancing Florentine Camerata’s ideas of Greek drama. On other hand, Monteverdi’s Orfeo Baroque operatic works include a variety of genres and types of styles. The text and plots are drawn from classical antiquity or ancient history, and the action involves a variety of special scenic effects.[footnoteRef:2] Because both works used the same libretto, in examining the two is very informative between two operas. Monteverdi’s opera is more widely known and performed today because it has a greater variety of musical style and richer sounds in instrumental and chorus. The purpose of this essay is to discuss the operas of Peri and Monteverdi’s libretto in various adaptations. This essay will cover an examination of monadic style works, instrumentations, and choral music. Ultimately, it will be shown that the conceptual and composers goals of Jacopo Peri and Claudio Monteverdi are in setting text to music. These ideas and changes effectively influenced the gradual growth of opera with the invention and improvement of today’s opera. [1: David Schulenberg, Music of the Baroque. New York; Oxford; Oxford University Press, 2014, 35.] [2: Schulenberg, 59.]
Before we examine Peri’s Euridice and Monteverdi’s Orfeo, it is necessary to acknowledge the experiments of Florentine Camerata. Florentine Camerata was an important group who met to discuss societies or academies and they were leading to write an ancient Greek and music. Florentine Camerata involved in Vincenzo Galilei and Giulo Caccini, but also Jacopo Peri, Ottavio Rinuccini, and Girolamo Mei participated. Florentine Camerata started with the experiment of stile recitative,which was a Greek style between speech and songs that was eventually called opera.
Rinuccini’s poems were a favorite subject for operas because the mythical hero is himself a singer and the combination of a simple action with a diversity of expressive situations.[footnoteRef:3] Peri was the monadic of the Florentine composers who wrote Eurydice, which is the earliest surviving opera with a completed setting of Rinuccini’s poem. It premiered on October 6, 1600 at .

Arriving to California State University, Northridge
Choosing university is like a puzzle game or a snake and ladder game.
Since I came from my country Kuwait I didn’t had any obstacle in the new country but I face changes in many area such as accommodation, environment, cultural, and languages. Because I had very excellent department in the ministry of education abroad which encourage people or show a great vision of the benefit to study abroad. Also, giving a great orientation before traveling date that helps me to be more familiar from the new things that I will have. Therefore I planned to study my bachelor in the United State. So I filled my application and I submit all my documents and paper to the ministry. Then, our cultural office processed my application and after that they send for me an acceptance letter to travel to U.S.A. Nevertheless, there are two major steps for student to be able to roll to the university in the United States. First, register for institutes for English to improve the English language. For example, I registered for UCI (university of California Irvine extension). In this period, I took English classes in writing, grammar, listing, reading, and vocabulary. Also, these classes help me to study for the requirement university test either the TOEFL or IELTS test. Second, searching and applying for the universities that have my major and agree with the condition of our scholarship.
In addition, most important thing that I contact my scholarship advisor in every steps because my advisor helps me to complete any document for the universities. As an international student I connect nearby my immigration department in the school and my advisor, this circle helps me to know my way and be ale to continue my problem or an issue. Thesis statement therefore, choosing the university in the united stated especially California is difficult in many things such as the major, the state and the study plan.

Arnelle HallThe resource I resonated with the most was the Ted t.docxjewisonantone
Arnelle Hall
The resource I resonated with the most was the Ted talk about intersectionality. As an African American female, it is very hard trying to elevate myself onto an equal playing field because I am at a double disadvantage. I feel like African American women are looked over in so many ways by society but these problems can't be addressed because as the video stated, people will only address one at a time when in reality, both of them are a part of my identity at the same exact time. I hope that as this becomes a bigger topic things will change. I thought the Ted talk was very moving especially at the end when all of the Black women killed by police brutality were honored.
The theory that made the most sense to me was Piaget's model because it used age groups a child goes through and pairs them with common developmental milestones that we often celebrate in society. For example, the sensorimotor stage (birth-2) can be identified by object permeance. The pre-operational stage (2-7) can be identified by language development and asking questions. The concrete operational stage (7-11) can be identified by inductive reasoning. The last stage, the formal operational stage (12+) can be identified by understanding abstract feelings such as love and success.
I recently became an auntie. My nephew will be 1 years old in March. I can relate to this because I have seen him develop some of the milestones for the sensorimotor stage. He uses his senses a lot to try and understand the world around him. One example would be him grabbing anything in front of him and shaking it to see if it makes noise or putting it in his mouth to see what it tastes like.
Ayaka Motoki
Through watching the video, I believe the new family style (shown in the video) in our modern world could affect children in many different ways. Gillian’s theory in analyzed based on the traditional family roles, where girls tend to have interpersonal relationships with others, while boys act justly to avoid inequality. However, family that does not necessarily have one mother and one father might have different effect to their children, perhaps in a better way. As explained in the video, girls tend to be interpersonal because they are closer to their mother who teaches about the community and human relationships. If there is no distinguished role of teaching these in a family due to having more than one mother or father, both girls and boys will be taught the importance of moral stages, which will benefit both of them since it does not focus on based on children’s gender. I have a similar experience in my childhood since I lived with my mother and my grandparents. They did not try to teach both my brother and I differently based on our gender but rather the same. That is why I believe both of my brother have similar personalities and I consider my brother to be a very caring and kind to others.

Aristotle On the Soul (De Anima)trans. J.A. SmithBOOK ONE.docxjewisonantone
Aristotle: On the Soul (De Anima)
trans. J.A. Smith
BOOK ONE
I.1. Fundamental Questions
HOLDING as we do that, while knowledge of any kind is a thing to be honoured and prized, one kind of it may, either by reason of its greater exactness or of a higher dignity and greater wonderfulness in its objects, be more honourable and precious than another, on both accounts we should naturally be led to place in the front rank the study of the soul. The knowledge of the soul admittedly contributes greatly to the advance of truth in general, and, above all, to our understanding of Nature, for the soul is in some sense the principle of animal life. Our aim is to grasp and understand, first its essential nature, and secondly its properties; of these some are taught to be affections proper to the soul itself, while others are considered to attach to the animal owing to the presence within it of soul.
To attain any assured knowledge about the soul is one of the most difficult things in the world. As the form of question which here presents itself, viz. the question 'What is it?', recurs in other fields, it might be supposed that there was some single method of inquiry applicable to all objects whose essential nature (as we are endeavouring to ascertain there is for derived properties the single method of demonstration); in that case what we should have to seek for would be this unique method. But if there is no such single and general method for solving the question of essence, our task becomes still more difficult; in the case of each different subject we shall have to determine the appropriate process of investigation. If to this there be a clear answer, e.g. that the process is demonstration or division, or some known method, difficulties and hesitations still beset us-with what facts shall we begin the inquiry? For the facts which form the starting-points in different subjects must be different, as e.g. in the case of numbers and surfaces.
First, no doubt, it is necessary to determine in which of the summa genera soul lies, what it is; is it 'a this-somewhat, 'a substance, or is it a quale or a quantum, or some other of the remaining kinds of predicates which we have distinguished? Further, does soul belong to the class of potential existents, or is it not rather an actuality? Our answer to this question is of the greatest importance.
We must consider also whether soul is divisible or is without parts, and whether it is everywhere homogeneous or not; and if not homogeneous, whether its various forms are different specifically or generically: up to the present time those who have discussed and investigated soul seem to have confined themselves to the human soul. We must be careful not to ignore the question whether soul can be defined in a single unambiguous formula, as is the case with animal, or whether we must not give a separate formula for each of it, as we do for horse, dog, man, god (in the latter case the 'universal' animal-and so too.

ArgumentsA. Arguments are found in many texts and media .docxjewisonantone
Arguments
A.
Arguments are found in many texts and media and it is important to be able to recognize, formulate, and evaluate arguments. Doing well in this class will depend upon whether you can acquire and improve these three skills. We will be concentrating on the arguments found in the philosophy texts we are reading this semester, but this skill is something you should carry with you through the rest of your college career and beyond.
Recognizing an argument is the first step in the process. An argument is where a claim is stated and it is supported by evidence. The claim is the conclusion of the argument and the evidence is known as the premises. In an argument, the conclusion follows from the premises, or, more specifically, the premises connect together in such a way that one can draw an inference from them, i.e., the conclusion.
But recognition of argument is not sufficient. One must also be able to formulate the argument. This involves listing the premises as well as unstated assumptions so one can see more clearly how the conclusion follows from the premises. This task will at first seem tedious and frustrating, but like anything else, the more you practice, the better you will get. Hopefully, you find this exercise beneficial and enlightening.
Here are some sample arguments:
1) All men are mortal.
Socrates is a man.
Socrates is mortal.
2) If there is snow on the ground, it must be cold.
There is snow on the ground.
It must be cold.
3) Animals are either vertebrates or invertebrates.
Walruses, an animal, are not invertebrates.
Walruses are vertebrates.
4) It rained almost every day in April for the last three years.
April is a rainy month.
B.
Not all texts will contain arguments. Some passages will just contain a description, explanation, or dialogue. Here are some examples.
1) Tuesday is the second day of the week.
2) If you do not exercise, you will not be healthy.
3) There are many students who attend state universities. Some explanation for this is that state universities are affordable and offer a variety of disciplines to study.
4) Parent: “You have not cleaned up your room this week.”
Child: “Yes I have.”
Parent: “No, I am afraid your room is still messy.”
Child: “But I have.”
Parent: “No you haven’t, at least not according to me.”
Child: “Well, according to me, I have.”
This last example may seem like an argument because we call it an argument. But this is using the word equivocally, that is using the same word to signify two different things. Example 4 is a disagreement, which does not always constitute an argument. There are no premises to support any claims being made in this example. Further, one should recognize that Example 2 is only a conditional claim and not an argument. A conditional claim is composed of an antecedent and a consequence. One must also affirm the antec.
Arguments of DefintionChapter 9Arguments of Defi.docxjewisonantone
Arguments of Defintion
Chapter 9
Arguments of DefinitionThese arguments are particularly powerful in that they help determine what something or someone is. Thus, they can result in inclusion or exclusion.They help us recognize that classifications change over time and are the result of cultural, social, and political forces.Definitions often serve group agendas while ignoring or attempting to silence others.Often evolve from daily life.
Arguments of DefinitionWe rely on definition for successful, efficient communication.As you have experienced with the Fact Paper, our ability to make an argument is limited when we cannot appeal to values.Contrary to the belief that values diminish the validity of an argument by rendering it mere opinion, values are a necessary part of the argument.Indeed, they are the very heart of an argument.Thus, evaluative terms are notoriously difficult to define.
Formal Definitions
(pp.200-201)Questions related to genus:Is assisting in suicide a crime?Is NASCAR a sport?Is rap poetry?What is an X [insert your own choice here]
Questions related to species:Is marijuana a relatively harmless drug or a dangerous, addictive one?Is Saudi Arabia an ally or an opponent of the USA?Is TV’s “Survivor” a reality show or a game show?Is X a Y or a Z [Insert your own topic}
Questions related to conditions:Should a woman be held to the same physical requirements as a man in order to join the military?Should everyone pay the same percentage of their income taxes regardless of their income?Are high scores on the SAT’s a fair condition for entrance into universities?Must X occur in order for Y? [Insert your topic]
Questions related to the fulfillment of conditions:Should academic scholarships count as taxable income?Should nontraditional educated experiences, such as semesters abroad and internships, count for college credit?Should X be counted as Y for the purposes of Z? [Insert your topic]
In summary, keep in mind that you can approach an argument of definition by:
Formulating a definition (What is X?): “Terrorism is any non-wartime act of violence undertaken for political gain.”Negative definition (Y is not X.): “Violence undertaken as part of a revolt against an oppressive regime is not terrorism.”Definition by Example (Y is/is not X): “The Irish Republican Army is/is not a terrorist organization.”
Other items to consider:Who is your specific audience?What are the counter-arguments to your proposed definition?In other words, anticipate oppositional stances.How would you refute those stances?Do not forget about visuals and design of arguments of definition.Matching claims to definitions is critical.

Argumentative behavior, engagement in physical altercations, and e.docxjewisonantone
Argumentative behavior, engagement in physical altercations, and evidence of mood swings can all indicate that an adolescent is experiencing anger and depression. Self-harming can surface in adolescents, too, as they experience difficult emotions.
For this, read the case study of Dalia and consider what you, as her social worker, would do if you observed self-harm indicators.
Post
a brief explanation of self-harming behaviors that Dalia is exhibiting. Describe theoretical approaches and practical skills you would employ in working with Dalia. How might familial relationships result in Dalia’s self-harming behavior? Please use the Learning Resources to support your answer.
Working With Children and Adolescents: The Case of Dalia
Dalia is a 14-year-old, biracial female of African and Irish American descent who resides with her parents in a middle-class suburb. She is the youngest of three children and is currently the only child remaining in the home. Dalia’s parents have been married for 25 years. Dalia’s father works in the creative arts field with a nontraditional work schedule that has him gone overnight and sleeping late into the morning. Dalia’s mother is an executive who works long hours. Dalia was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia in early childhood and was hospitalized multiple times. At present, Dalia’s health is stable with the last serious episode occurring 2 years ago.
Dalia’s parents reported that until middle school, Dalia was an easygoing, good-natured youngster who enjoyed singing and participating in activities with her peers and family. Dalia denied any problems with drugs or alcohol but admitted to drinking with friends. Dalia described her family relationships as tense, stating, “My dad lets me do what I want” and “My mother is always trying to control me.” Dalia described her relationship with her older brother, who lives in another state, as “cool,” and her relationship with her older sister, a college sophomore, as “not cool.”
Dalia’s parents sought out counseling services for behavioral issues on the recommendation of her school. The issues included argumentative behavior with authority figures, physical altercations with peers, poor concentration in class, irritable mood, verbal combativeness when confronted, truancy, and highly sexualized behavior with male peers. At home, Dalia had become more argumentative and physically threatening. Her parents had discovered that she and her friends drank alcohol in their home. Dalia’s parents also reported that she was up most of the night and slept most of the day. They also reported that her mood was highly irritable and that she was extremely impulsive. She had no interest in getting involved with any extracurricular activities, stating that those things are “corny and boring.”
In the first meeting, Dalia and her mother both appeared agitated with each other and became argumentative when going through the intake information. Dalia quickly told me that she was not .

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

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.

Argumentative Position Paper (Essay 4)This project is the culm.docx
1. Argumentative Position Paper (Essay 4)
This project is the culminating writing and research project of
the semester, building on the skills you have developed
throughout the semester. In a sense, many restrictions are gone:
you must define the current issue you write about, you must
define the audience you are writing to, and you must determine-
to a larger extent- how to best organize and present information.
You should draw on the rhetorical concepts we discussed early
in the semester (logos, pathos, ethos, kairos, doxa) to consider
how to most effectively craft this essay.
A proposal presents a problem and a solution or solutions to
that problem. For this essay, the problem must be related to a
current issue of your choice; you may choose a topic from one
of the class case studies or a different topic of your own. It
must, however, have been relevant in the last six months.
Drawing on the sources you presented in your annotated
bibliography- and substituting other sources as necessary- you
will persuade your audience that a problem exists and that your
solutions(s) is best, at least for the time being.
The following process may be useful as you create your
proposal:
· Choose an issue to research. Make sure it is timely (relevant
within the last six months) and something you care about, since
you will spend a lot of time working with this topic. This can be
from the class case studies or be entirely different. Try to make
the issue as specific as possible. For instance, instead of
“refugee camps,” narrow this down to something like: “impact
of U.S. medical aid in refugee camps.” This is much more
specific and manageable.
· Brainstorm a list of questions you have about the topic,
problems you see others defining or that you identify yourself,
2. and possible solutions to this problem.
· Explore the topic via research in your annotated bibliography.
· Define your audience- who would be interested in this issue
and why? How much new information will you be offering
them? Are they likely to already agree or disagree with your
perspective on the topic?
· Return to your list and define a specific problem(s) you want
to persuade readers exists and a specific solution(s) you have
developed to address this problem(s).
· Create an outline of your essay to map out how you will
organize the information.
Paper layout-
In the introduction:
· State the issue(s) or problem(s) and grab the reader’s attention
· Argue for the seriousness of the problem(s)
· State the thesis in the form of “Somebody needs to do/not do
something because . . .”
(This is a formula; you must add information to this framework
to create your thesis statement.)
In the body:
· Give the problem’s background if your audience is unfamiliar
with it
· Define what the problem is, presenting evidence to prove that
it is a problem and countering evidence from those whose
viewpoints differ from yours
· Describe how this problem, if left unhandled, could affect the
future.
· Present your solution(s) and discuss why other solutions aren’t
as feasible (can also reverse this order, discussing other
solutions first and then yours)
· Make clear the goals of your solution(s), describe the steps
that need to be followed to implement your solution(s), and
describe how the solution(s) will address the problem
· Explain the positive results of implementing this solution(s)
In the conclusion:
3. · Issue a call to action for your audience
· Restate and emphasize exactly what readers need to do to
solve the problem(s)
Double-check that all uses of sources are documented with in-
text citations. Construct a Works Cited page. Use only third
person for this essay; this means no “I.” Use active voice unless
making a time specific statement about the past.
Due Dates:
-During the week of April 22nd-26th, 2019 we will not be
meeting as a class. Instead, we will be having conferences. I
will meet with each of you individually in my office in order to
discuss your final paper. Later in the semester, you will sign up
for a time to meet with me for 15 minutes in my office on one
of these days. During this time, you will have the opportunity to
get help from me with your essay 4 draft. If you have other
questions, you may ask me then also. This time is reserved for
you to get individual help from me on your essay especially, so
please use this time wisely and come prepared.
-Complete draft due on May 6, 2019.
· Submit an electronic copy to the D2L Discussion Board
labeled “Essay 4 Draft.”
-Final draft due on May 8, 2019.
· Submit an electronic copy to the D2L Dropbox labeled “Essay
4 Final Draft” AND bring one hardcopy of the essay to class for
your instructor.
The goals of this assignment are for you to:
· Choose an appropriate research topic in terms of specificity
and currency
· Write a sustained, coherent, logical argument
· Choose and utilize research that both supports and contends
4. with your argument
· Integrate research in a thoughtful and persuasive manner
· Use citation skills when integrating research
Specifications:

THREE SIGNATURE SEL PRACTICES
for the CLASSROOM*
Creating the Conditions for Student Learning
“With compassion, we can help remove students’ triggers by
providing
smoother transitions and safe, predictable classrooms.”
-The Heart of Teaching and Learning: Compassion, Resilience
and Academic Success
8. http://www.k12.wa.us/compassionateschools/pubdocs/TheHeart
ofLearningandTeaching
Dr. Richard Davidson, a neuroscientist at the University of
Wisconsin, speaks about “every
behavioral intervention being a biological intervention.” A
student’s repeated experiences in
school can be a powerful influence for the rewiring of the
neural pathways necessary for
habits to be built and sustained. Having routines and rituals in
our classrooms and school
communities is beneficial for every child, and absolutely
essential for some.
Three main categories of carefully chosen, effectively
facilitated and thoughtfully debriefed
teaching practices work together to build a solid foundation of
safety, consistency and joy in
classrooms across the school day:
WELCOMING ROUTINES & RITUALS • Activities for
Inclusion
ENGAGING PEDAGOGY • Sense Making, Transitions, Brain
Breaks
OPTIMISTIC CLOSURE • Reflections and Looking Forward
When used consistently, these signature SEL practices create
conditions for growth and
learning across all five SEL competencies, as a foundation for
culturally responsive teaching
strategies, to help develop collaborative classrooms.
By providing repetitive and engaging learning opportunities,
they help students
improve the skills and habits of:
9. ● Self-awareness and social awareness through noticing and
naming feelings, and
seeing how they are connected to what is happening within and
around us.
● Self-management and relationship building, by interacting
with people and with content
in ways that intentionally strengthen our skillset of being aware
of and in control of our
thoughts, emotions, actions and interactions.
● Focusing and persevering by balancing novelty with routines
and rituals; we are
internally soothed by sameness, while paradoxically, our brains
need freshness too!
January 2017
THREE SIGNATURE SEL PRACTICES
for the CLASSROOM*
Creating the Conditions for Student Learning
WELCOMING RITUAL (2-10 minutes)
Activities for Inclusion
Ritual openings establish safety and predictability,
support contribution by all voices, set norms for
respectful listening, allow students to connect with
one another and create a sense of belonging. To
be successful these activities must be: carefully
chosen, connected to the learning of the day,
and engagingly facilitated.
10. EXAMPLES FROM THE CLASSROOM:
● “Do Now” / Homework Helpers
● Class circles
● Name games / Greet warmly by name
● Morning Meeting
● Writing Prompts / Partner Discussions
SCHOOL-WIDE:
● Adults express joy in seeing students.
● Stack of breakfast items on office
counter = glad to see late arrivals.
● Morning announcements include
student voice.
ENGAGING PEDAGOGY (1-15 minutes)
Sense-Making & “Brain Breaks”
Engaging practices are brain-compatible strategies
that can foster: relationships, cultural humility and
responsiveness, empowerment, and collaboration.
They intentionally build student SEL skills. These
practices include opportunities for brain breaks that
provide time for integrating new information into
long-term memory, otherwise it is soon forgotten.
Balance opportunities for quiet reflection and writing
with more active movement activities.
EXAMPLES FROM THE CLASSROOM
● Directly teach SEL skills through
evidence-based programs.
● Turn-To-Your-Partner: Sharing and
11. listening to make sense of new input.
● Co-create working agreements with
your students.
● Brain Break - Stand and Stretch:
Refresh and reset the brain; include
movement and making connections.
● Opportunities for Interaction:
Cultivate practices that involve
interactions in partnerships, triads,
small groups and as a whole group.
OPTIMISTIC CLOSURE (3-5 minutes)
Reflections and Looking Forward
End the day by having students reflect on, and then
name something that helps them leave on an
optimistic note. This provides positive closure,
reinforces learning, can connect school to home,
and create a moment of looking forward to returning
tomorrow.
EXAMPLES FROM THE CLASSROOM:
Reflect and Share…
● Something I learned today.
● Someone I was able to help.
● Something I want to share with my
grown-up.
● Something I’m looking forward to
doing tomorrow.
● Something I enjoyed about the day.
12. ● Someone who was kind/helpful to me.

Introduction
People are choosing not to vaccinate their children based on
false accusations about them leading to problems including
autism.
Body 1
Vaccines has been around for a long time, and the effects of
them have been mostly positive. Vaccinations have prevented
numerous diseases from expanding, and by choosing not to
vaccinate children could lead to a serious health problem in the
current children’s generation.
This section will focus on comparing the pros and cons of
vaccination and will give background information on vaccines
and why people are choosing not to vaccinate.
This section will also mention what I think will happen if
parents don’t vaccinate. *Even though it my opinion, I will still
write it in third person.
“Should Any Vaccines Be Required for Children?” PROS &
CONS OF CURRENT ISSUES. , vaccines.procon.org/.
Body 2
Before vaccines, deadly diseases like the measles were almost
unpreventable.
13. This section will talk about different diseases that could come
back if parents stop vaccinating their children.

Body 3
We have already seen some of the outcomes that comes with not
vaccinating children.
The number of children that have not been vaccinated have
quadrupled in the last few years.
This section will talk about what the problems that are already
forming with not vaccinating.

Body 4
It not just the United States countries all over the world are
going through the same crisis. The only difference is most of
the people from the other countries can’t afford the vaccines
14. while in America parents are making the decision not to.
This section will talk about different countries and how not
vaccinating is affecting them and how they can’t vaccinate even
if they wanted to.
Body 5
Parents should talk to their children’s doctors to get a better
understanding on vaccinations to be able to make the proper
decision.
This section will start one of my solutions which is getting
informed about vaccines, so they can fully understand which
route they want to go take.
Conclusion
Not vaccinating children can lead to a generation of health
problems that this country has already solved. Parents should
consider everything before making the decision not to vaccinate
their children

Entry 1
In her article Rachael Zimlich, a registered nurse and
writer, brings attention to the problem that America is facing
with the lack of children vaccinations. This article is a fact base
unbiased interpretation of children not being vaccinated.
Zimlich begins by telling the readers the number of
unvaccinated children has quadrupled in the last few years. The
children that haven’t been vaccinated under the age of 2 is
starting to concern officials. She gives several different factual
statics about vaccinations keeping it mostly based on facts. She
continues giving stats from The Center of Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). This also adds to her creditability because
they are the ones who have to keep taps on the vaccinated
population. She continues, bringing up that the coverage for
children vaccinations and how the number is constantly
dropping. She remains unbiased keeping the whole article
focused on keeping people informed on vaccinations.
This source will help better my understanding in the issue of
children not being vaccinated in America. Since Zimlich has a
medical degree, she has credibility which will help me gang
situated ethos. I will use this source for the statics mostly,
which will give me more to elaborate on in my essay
“Branam says the report is a reminder to pediatricians to
continually educate parents and share resources for vaccination
with them, and the CDC offers educational materials to help.”
“Vaccine coverage was generally lower for most recommended
vaccines among children who are uninsured or uninsured by
Medicaid when compared with children with private health
insurance”

In her article Meghan Rowcliffe, A Pediatric Medication Safety
Officer at Johns Hopkins Hospital, is arguing that we need to
pay closer attention to medication for children. She starts off
naming a couple of mistakes that happens within the medical
field concerning children medication and vaccinations. She goes
on to mention that a lot of vaccination errors comes from
similar vaccinations names compared to generic names. She
shifts her focus to prescription drugs saying that it’s sometimes
hard to receive a child’s medication records, but it is necessary
to make sure that a child is not taking something they don’t
need or that conflicts with other drugs the child may be taking.
Rowcliffe continues bringing up the safety that is needed for the
delivery of prescription drugs in schools. She believes that drug
administration should be avoid at all cost, but when its
necessary a school nurse should be the one to keep up with the
medications. She also mentions that this is not always an
available option considering not all schools have a nurse due to
low school budgets.
17. I plan on using this source to find extra information about
vaccinations being misused and the affects it has on children.
This source will also help better my understanding on mistakes
within the health care system especially when it comes to
children. It also contains some helpful stats that will help
strengthen my essay overall.
“Vaccine administration errors also can be mitigated with
improved vaccine storage and staff education and training.”
“Obtaining an accurate patient history is time consuming, but
eliciting help from a nurse or, ideally, a pharmacist can help
ensure that the list reflects what children are prescribed and,
more importantly, actually taking at home.”

In the article "Influenza vaccination among children with
idiopathic nephrotic syndrome: an investigation of practices."
All the authors have a background in research of medicine
which make them credible This article focusses on specific
vaccinations for certain diseases in children. It starts off
explaining what Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is and
how many children it affects each year. The authors continue
explaining how INS is contracted with children that are
unvaccinated. They also mention how in “healthy children”
sever cases of INS is not common. They also mention the side
effects that are associated with INS and how it can lead to
pneumonia especially in young children. They go on to say it is
18. recommended to get children vaccinated to help prevent INS.
They shift their focus on the investigation they did on children
with INS. They followed the children for at least 3 months
gathering information about the disease.
I plan on using this source to gather information to help
my argument of the importance of getting children vaccinated.
This source will also strengthen my knowledge of how bad
things can get for children with parents that choose not to
vaccinate them. It will also give me more background
information about Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS)

In the article "Vaccination Status of Children With Epilepsy or

most of them are educators at Central South University. This
article focusses on children with Epilepsy and Cerebral Palsy
that haven’t been vaccinated in China. It starts by giving
background information on vaccine-preventable diseases
(VPDs) and how they have reduced but it still a concern
especially in children with Epilepsy (EP) and Cerebral Palsy
19. (CP). They go on to talk about the concern parent have with
children with EP and CP and vaccinating them. They continue
mentioning that the vaccinations to prevent diseases can be
expensive in China. They go on to explain the research they
conducted with children and vaccination they had or didn’t
have. The results showed that most of the diseases that were
reported were with children without vaccinations.
I plan on using this source to have more examples of disease
related to not vaccinating children. This source will also expand
my knowledge on children that are not being vaccinated in a
different country. That will help with my argument by giving
me different angles on the vaccination epidemic.
“In China, this phenomenon has become particularly severe in
the context of children with central nervous system disease.”
“Parents are often concerned that vaccination of their children
may cause complications due to negative recommendations from
vaccinators, resulting in a decline in vaccination. It is therefore
is essential to investigate the vaccination status of these
specific populations, and the knowledge, attitudes, and practices
(KAP) of vaccinators.”

children vaccinations in Australia specifically the influenza
vaccination. It starts by giving information about the influenza
disease and vaccination in in the country Australia. It goes on to
mention that most children vaccinations are funded for some of
the children in Australia. The authors of this article conducted a
survey with caregivers of children with medical comorbidities.
The results found that parents that worried about the side
effects of the vaccinations were more likely not to vaccinate
their children. It also found that the parents who believed that
the Influenza vaccination to be fifty percent or more affective
have gotten their children vaccinated. They conclude
mentioning that Reported influenza vaccination coverage in
children with medical comorbidities remains inadequate
I plan on using this article to get a different country’s
perspective on children without vaccination. I will also get their
stats on vaccinations and compare them to the ones in the
United States. This article will also help build my
understanding on how major the vaccination crises is in
Australia.
“Whilst only 29.3% of caregivers reported their child had been
recommended influenza vaccination during a previous

In the article “Identifying risk factors associated with acquiring
measles in an outbreak among age- appropriately vaccinated
school children: a cohort analysis” both Bernadette O’Connor
and Sarah Doyle have a background in medicine and have
written several other scholarly articles. This source focuses on
measles outbreaks and the affects vaccines have with the
outbreaks. They start the article by giving background
information on measles. They follow with the purpose of their
study and then jumps right into their research. They used ninety
five students aged 4-5 in their study. They used the vaccination
medical records of the ninety five students and compared results
with students who have had vaccines and those who haven’t had
them. The results showed that 13 of the ninety five contracted
the measles even though they were vaccinated. They conclude
saying that it is unknown of why the outbreak was so sever
within the ninety five students.
I plan on using this source to get more information on the
measles side of vaccinations and use it to help support my
argument. This article will also build on my knowledge of
measles and how vaccines can help prevent it. It will also help
by giving me stats on measles and it’s vaccination in young
children.
“Although a concurrent investigation into cold chain and
vaccine stock management did not identify a cause for the high
relative risk of measles in children vaccinated,
recommendations were made for improving cold chain and

In her article Carole Joyce, A registered nurse, has a
background in the medical field including administering
vaccinations. This article starts by giving background
information on the good vaccinations have been proven to do in
preventing diseases. She continues mentioning the role nurses
play when it comes to vaccinations. She shifts her focus
mentioning the measles out break back in 1991 and how not
being vaccinated takes all the protections from contacting it
away. In addition to that she states that vaccinations should not
be administered based on the requirements of the school but by
the vaccines should be administered at the intervals
recommended by the Advisory Committee. She continues saying
that vaccines should be combined to make it less stressful for
parents and helps with the delay of vaccines that may accrue if
done individually. She concludes her article saying that only 26
percent of children receive all of their vaccinations on time.
I plan on using this source mostly just for information on the
issue itself. This article includes lots of information coming
from a nurse about vaccines and will be very helpful when
looking for information on my topic. This article will also
expand my knowledge on the whole issue of vaccinations which
will help me have a better paper all the way around.
“Only 26% of children in the United States receive all
vaccinations at the recommended times (or acceptably early),
putting children at risk for diseases that easily could have been
prevented. Keeping updated on methods that increase the
likelihood that children will be vaccinated on time increases
pediatric nurses' ability to help ensure that children are
protected.”
