This document provides guidance for students preparing an in-class essay (Paper 5) about marginalization and privilege. It discusses lessons from the previous paper, such as having a specific thesis statement and addressing all points in the thesis. For Paper 5, students are instructed to focus on one experience of marginalization and privilege and how it affects them. They will create an outline with examples, quotes, and a counterargument to prepare. The portfolio assignment is also reviewed, requiring students to submit one of their in-class essays along with a revised previous paper. Homework includes completing a discussion post, preparing a structured outline for Paper 5, and beginning revisions on Paper 2 or 3.

Beasts of No Nation Essay
Timeline:
Week of April 10-13: Watch Beasts of No Nation during class periods.
Mon. April 17: First Draft of Film Paper Due
Week of April 17-20 : One-on-One conferences about the
paper.
Tues. April 25: Final Draft of Film Essay due in D2L dropbox.
Directions:
Choose ONE of the following questions and write a well-planned out, coherent essay that argues a point that you want to make about the movie.
1. How does the film address the question of what “family” means?
2. How does the film address the idea of putting one’s trust in God?
3. How does the film show how a young child can be recruited into the military?
4. How does the film treat the subject of resistance against an unjust military government?
Just a reminder of what a good essay consists of, the essay should contain:
1. A nice introductory paragraph that “leads in” to your thesis statement. Your thesis statement should not be the first sentence of the essay.
2. A clear and precise thesis statement that will alert the reader what the essay is going to be about.
3. A good, strong topic sentence in each paragraph, usually the first sentence of the paragraph.
4. Enough development in each paragraph to fully support the main point (aka topic sentence).
5. A conclusion that either summarizes the main points of the essay or emphasizes the very important point(s).
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND VISITING A WEBSITE LIKE WIKIPEDIA OR SPARKNOTES. I ESPECIALLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT STUDENTS VISIT ANY WEBSITE WHERE THEY CAN PURCHASE PAPER WITH A CREDIT CARD. Students who visit these websites looking for ideas tend to accidentally plagiarize the sites in their papers. Accidental plagiarism is still plagiarism and will receive the same zero that plagiarizing on purpose gets.
WHAT I EXPECT FROM THIS ESSAY
1. I want this essay to be an analysis of The Hunger Games. I DO NOT WANT A PLOT SUMMARY. Notice that every sample question that I provided for you above required some sort of deep thinking and analysis. Your essay should show such analytical ability.
2. Your paper should be foregrounded in LOGOS, not ethos or pathos. You may use some ethos or pathos if it helps you to make your point, but the dominant mode of persuasion that you should be using in this paper is logos.
3. DO NOT USE PURE SPECULATION! Always back your assertions up with evidence from the movie.
4. Use specific details. Do not be vague.
RUBRIC
I will be scoring your essay based upon the following criteria:
Formatting (6 points)
Your essay should formatted in MLA format. Use the Formatting a Paper in MLA Format link in the MLA Formatting folder under Course Content to learn how to format a paper properly. One point will be counted off for each of these that are not done properly:

Term Research Assignment FAQ’s This is an overview of ques.docxtodd191
Term Research Assignment FAQ’s
This is an overview of questions received regarding the assignment. It is not all inclusive and may be
added to throughout the term.
Q. If I am working on this assignment with a partner, do we both need to turn in an
assignment?
A. No, only one assignment needs to be turned in by one of the partners. Please make sure both
names are on the memo. One of the partners must upload the assignment into D2L.
Q. Do I have to use Word to complete the assignment?
A. Yes. This is another use of what you learned this term using Word. Combine the two parts of the
assignment in to one file. You will be graded on how you used Word as well.
Q. Are there any Word format requirements?
A. Yes, the assignment must be single spaced (DO NOT use the default spacing in Word), with a 1”
margin. The font must be 10 or 11 point Times New Roman.
Q. What exactly should the completed assignment include?
A. The completed assignment is made up of two parts – both completed using Word.
1. A 1-2 page typed persuasive memo – written to Ava Stevens – from you (representing
your business, non-profit, government entity, or committee). This memo outlines HOW
you plan to persuade your audience and what your main persuasive point(s) will be and
how you will back these points up with your research. Basically it is a narrative or
outline of your argument. Think of me as your boss, and this memo is being used to
prove to me that you have the needed information to continue with this persuasion. How
you organize this memo is your choice – but you may find bullet or numbered points
helpful in presenting some of the information. Remember you cannot end a memo with
a list. There needs to be at least a one sentence close to end the memo (don’t just
stop…write for the reader). Don’t forget to use the correct second page heading for the
second page of your memo.
This memo is NOT your entire argument – it is designed to prove you are ready, with the
necessary resources, to write the persuasive argument. Don’t make the mistake of using
this memo to argue your point. Remember to write to your audience – Ava Stevens
– what does she need from you to know you are ready to write the persuasive
argument to your audience?
2. A 2-4 (or more) page typed annotated bibliography – the minimum number of sources on
this annotated bibliography is 6. Of the 6 sources, at least 3 must be from peer reviewed
academic journals. (Information is provided below to explain how to verify if the journal,
and therefore the article, is peer reviewed.)
Each source will have two paragraphs. The first paragraph is an overview of the
article. DO NOT use the abstract to write this – read the article and explain the overall
idea of the article using your own words. You are uploading this in D2L and it will be put
through Turn-it-in. Please don’t earn zero points because you plagiarized. The second
paragraph is WHA.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
2. Paper 4: What you can learn from it.
Be specific in your thesis statement.
Don’t say “I’m marginalized.” Say
“I’m marginalized by my accent.”
If you say something in your thesis
statement, you have to address it in
your body paragraphs.
If the assignment asks you to focus
on one marginalization and one
privilege, then focus on ONE of each.
Do not try to talk about more than
one.
Make sure each body paragraph
focuses on one point each.
Set yourself up for success by having
the right number of quotes on your
outline and correct MLA citation
style.
No extra info on your outline, please.
