Due dates:
Response draft (at least 1300 words for full credit) due: (one copy uploaded to Moodle; two hard
copies brought to class for exchange):

For the second major writing project of the semester, you’ll produce a comparative rhetorical
analysis by choosing between two different options—scientific or political discourse—and
finding and comparing two instances of rhetorical discourse. Whatever option you select, you’ll
need to address the same questions as you develop your understanding of rhetorical discourse
and the way different discourses address differences in rhetorical situation:
1. The question of exigence: What is the discourse about? What need or purpose does the
discourse address? What fundamental values are at stake? What is the discourse trying to
accomplish—and how successful is it?
2. The question of the rhetor: Who is—or are—the rhetor or rhetors? Who is responsible for the
discourse? Who created it? Does the rhetor successfully establish ethos? Why or why not? How
does the discourse itself invoke a particular rhetor? Who sponsored the discourse, and how?
3. The question of audience: For whom is the discourse intended? To whom would this
discourse appeal? Who is the actual audience, and who is the audience invoked or imagined by
the discourse itself? Does the discourse invite the audience to adopt a new role, a new identity?
4. The question of constraints: What constraints did the rhetor have to take into account—what
factors outside of the discourse and beyond the rhetor’s control might influence the audience’s
response to the discourse? Are they negative or positive constraints? How did the rhetor
accommodate those constraints? Was the rhetor successful?
5. The question of genre: What is the genre of the text, and what purpose does this genre
typically serve? How do audience expectations of the genre contribute to our understanding of
the exigence, the intended audience, and the rhetor? What constraints does the genre
introduce?
These constituents of rhetorical situations aren’t an outline for your project; you won’t march
through each of them in succession in the body of your project. Rather, they’re your initial
research questions that will help you to analyze thoroughly the rhetorical dimensions of the texts
you select.
The form and structure of your project will depend, finally, on a refined research question that
will develop out of your research and your understanding of how your chosen texts work.

Submission: On Canvas as an inline submission under the final paper assignment prompt. Please submit your final draft under the same assignment, as an additional attachment after you have edited and revised it in accordance with your TA’s feedback.
Due Date: The first draft is due by midnight on Wednesday, March 7. It is worth 100 points. The final draft is due no later than 7 p.m. on Wednesday, March 21. It is worth 150 points. You will get your first draft feedback by Friday, March 16.
Other requirements: Paper must be carefully edited using grammar/spell-check, and also proofread by a human brain other than your own. Your submission should be written in a formal tone, without making use of conversational or colloquial English. This paper satisfies part of the disciplinary communication (DC) requirement, so it must be written with serious care. It needs a clear introduction with thesis statement, logically developed body paragraphs, and a conclusion. No citations or direct quotes are necessary, although you are welcome to include a quote from the original theory if it was one of the ones that we read. If you do use any direct quotes, please include a “Works Cited” list at the end of your paper. This page is not part of your page or word count.
TOPIC DESCRIPTION
At the beginning of the quarter, I introduced the idea of a metaphorical “dinner party with social theorists.” In this paper, you will demonstrate your ability to apply concepts from classical social theory to the contemporary social world by putting several different theories into conversation with one another. Your goal is to show how classical theory helps to explain and/or fails to explain the origin/operation of your social problem or feature of the social world (as you understand it). Here’s how to proceed:
1. Choose either (A) a social problem that you feel passionate about or (B) a feature of the social world that you find fascinating. Examples of social problems could include things like racial tracking in education or the conservative attack on labor unions; examples of features of the social world could include behavior like internet trolling or trends in romantic relationships among college-age people. The possibilities are quite endless. The easiest topic to work with will be specific and narrow, and also something that you are personally invested in (we will take Weber’s advice about value-relevance here ).
2. Analyze your topic through the lens of three different theorists that we have covered this quarter. Most of you will find it easiest to use Marx/Weber/Durkheim, but you are welcome to use others we have covered as well if you feel inclined t.
Task Your task is to follow a conversation in society right now .docxjosies1
Task:
Your task is to follow a conversation in society right now
to which social movements and influential organizations are responding
. "Following a conversation" means examining how different writers define and respond to similar issues, and listening/reading closely for moments where different writers connect, where they overlap, and where they conflict. It also means that you examine
how
different writers enter the conversation (which will require rhetorical analysis) and how those differences impact what they are trying to say.
In order to make sure that your exploration considers differing points of view, we are going to ground your exploration in this unit by focusing on a social movement or an influential organization and an issue that is central to their cause. For example, you could look into conversations related to
social movements
like #MeToo, #BlackLivesMatter, March for Our Lives, or #MMIW. You could look at conversations in the news that involve
influential organizations
, like Planned Parenthood, the Red Cross, the ACLU, and RAICES. The project will ask you to read several sources about a topic that that group cares very much about, think about how different writers take different approaches to the topic, and then look at how the major organization or social movement you chose is responding to that same topic.
The project will ask you to do four things:
Summarize
the specifics of the conversations that you are following, including the main topics/ideas being discussed, the modes being used throughout the conversation, and the context in which the conversation is taking place.
Discuss
the ethos/credibility and varying levels of expertise of groups/people taking part in the conversation,
Analyze
the ways in which your chosen social movement or organization uses writing and rhetoric to facilitate change
Reflect
on what you learned, including how this activity informs your understanding of research in a digital society.
Importantly, this assignment is not a paper: you will complete this project as a series of 4 posts, culminating in a final project reflection. All
5
of these assignments will be collected into one project grade.
Note: while each of these assignments might seem "small" on their own, and will appear separately in the modules, together they make up a paper/project grade and will significantly impact your grade. Therefore it is important that for each post you work to find the best sources you can find, and that you answer the questions on each assignment thoroughly. Also, please edit and revise your posts to the best of your ability, as the quality of your writing will also be graded.
Each post will ask you to look for a different kind of text, each one centered around a social movement, and then the post instructions will give you specific questions to answer. All of the posts ask you to make specific references to the text you are analyzing. Please do not talk in broad terms abou.

Mechanics: 6 page minimum (including 5 AB entries and a Literature Review with CRQ), double-spaced, 12 point, 1” margins, MLA (or other) format
Explanation
Annotated Bibliography is a genre of writing in academia that works to show your awareness of what others have written about a topic. The work done in an AB, including introducing the authors with brief intellectual biographies; explicating the main claims and concepts; tracing the argument and its evidence; evaluating the source; and discussing its stakes and implications gives some context to the course reading you choose to research and situates the course reading into a research topic by indicating the intellectual conversations you are entering. The point of this assignment is to practice research skills but also to dig a little deeper into 4 of our readings using research. For this assignment:Writing Task
1. Compile an Annotated Bibliographyof five scholarly sources, including one entry for Gayle Rubin’s “Thinking Sex” and 4 more scholarly sources based on researching sources that are connected to one (the deep dive) or more of our course readings. See the next page for the specific AB entry format.
· Sources
· “Scholarly” means peer-reviewed articles from academic journals or chapters in books written by experts in a field and not wikis, encyclopedias, newspapers, popular magazines/media, blogs, websites, etc. (see the Library Guide on what constitutes a scholarly source).
· “Connected” means that each of your researched, scholarly sources must be connection to a course reading in some way. You can either find a source that engages or discusses the particular critical essay or cultural text from the course calendar or you can do research on a topic or theme that is brought up in or similar to the course reading. Whatever you decide, you’ll explain the connection in your quote analysis.
· “Deep Dive” means you may also include more than one researched source per course text. You can, for instance, research two sources on a critical essay and two on a cultural text or even include 4 sources that are all about one essay or text to give some in-depth engagement with one course reading. Alternatively, you may also include 4 sources on 4 different course texts.
· Focus
· If you’d like, you canfocus your research within a broad topic, on a field of knowledge, or on a really specific object of analysis within that topic. For example, you can produce an AB based on a specific topic (like racialized hypersexuality, the sex/gender/desire matrix, or a particular sexual stereotype) or a specific discipline (for instance, focus on the sociology of sex) or an interdisciplinary one that pursues a critical research question through multiple fields of knowledge (for instance, focused on how sociology, cult.

Choose a site (a place) where you can make observations of Temple students (and perhaps also Temple faculty) that clearly relate to your chosen topic. For example, if you are working on the topic “Social life and making friends on US university campuses,” then you must find a place where people interact with friends, and/or make new friends.
2)
Plan to spend at least one (1) hour observing your site.
3)
Decide, before you begin, whether you will only observe passively, or whether you will ask questions. If you decide to ask questions, write out 2 or 3 ahead of time, but be prepared to ask new and different questions to follow up on your interviewees’ answers.
4)
Write complete observation notes. These must describe:

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.

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.

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”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin

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.

Decide on your Research overall topic you intend to do.docx
1. 1) Decide on your Research Question--the overall topic you intend to do
your Research Paper
1) Decide on your Research Question--the overall topic you intend to do your Research
Paper on. If you are struggling for ideas, check Research Project Topic Suggestions. Submit
this by Sunday, March 12 here: Research Topic Proposal. Read the instructions on the
Discussion Board carefully. You'll need to post your Research Proposal and Question, but
you'll also need to respond to two of your classmates' proposals. You have to do both to get
full credit!
2) Pick the works you intend to use for your Research Paper. There should be at least five
works from the assigned readings. The instructions say you should pick three from the first
half of the course and two from the last half, but if you need to vary that a bit (pick three
from the second half), that is fine. The overall goal is that you get a good spread of works
from different time periods, so you can trace an idea, a pattern, a social issue, etc. and how
that changes or evolves over time.
3) Once you've picked the works you want to use for you Research Paper, then go back and
revise the Literature Review. The scholarly sources (which you can find on the library
databases or on Google Scholar) should be directly related to the works you are using in the
paper. For example, if you want to look at women's voices in American Literature and how
those voices have evolved over time, you might pick primary sources from Anne Bradstreet,
Kate Chopin, Edith Wharton, Gwendolyn Brooks and Toni Morrison. The scholarly
(secondary) sources you choose for the Lit Review should look at those authors specifically.
Basically, the Lit Review is where you analyze what other people have said about your topic
and show how their analysis is relevant to your analysis. Then, your Research Paper is your
actual analysis of the primary works (the literature in our textbook that you have chosen to
work with).
4) These DO NOT COUNT as scholarly sources:
Shmoop, LitNotes, SparkNotes, BookRags, etc
Encyclopedia entries or Wikipedia entries
The biographical notes in the textbook
The information in the textbook about specific time periods, movements, etc
You can use information from these places (except for the Shmoop, SparkNotes, etc places)
to add background to your essay, but they will not work as scholarly commentary.
I realize this process is probably different from work you've done in other English classes.
2. This is an advanced level class, so we're asking you to do new, more complicated
assignments. I have virtual office hours on Thursday and Sunday nights from 6:00-8:00 pm
(https://columbiastate.zoom.us/j/86848208646) and I will be more than happy to talk
with you about the project. In addition, I'm in my office in Columbia on Mondays from 9:00
am-3:00 pm and I can meet in person, Zoom, or talk by phone with you then, as well.
