Essay due on or before 2/26/16 at noon
Write a critical analysis of “To build a fire” by Jack London
(link to full story text “To Build a Fire” below)
http://www.jacklondons.net/buildafire.html
Write a 750-950-word essay on one of the following topics. Aim
for a 5-paragraph essay structure (introduction with thesis, three
or more body paragraphs, and a conclusion). The word count
does not include the Works Cited page or formatting.
Your essay should be formatted in MLA style, including double
spacing throughout. All sources should be properly cited both in
the text and on a works cited page. As with most academic
writing, this essay should be written in third person.
In the upper left-hand corner of the paper, place your name, the
professor’s name, the course name, and the due date for the
assignment on consecutive lines. Double space your information
from your name onward, and don't forget a title. All papers
should be in Times New Roman font with 12-point type with
one-inch margins all the way around your paper. All paragraph
indentations should be indented five spaces (use the tab key)
from the left margin. All work is to be left justified. When
quoting lines in literature, please research the proper way to
cite short stories, plays, or poems.
Be careful that you don’t create a "cut and paste" paper of
information from your various sources. Your ideas are to be
new and freshly constructed. Also, take great care not to
plagiarize.
All work submitted will be checked for originality thru
“Turnitin”
INFORMATIVE, PARTNER SPEECH OUTLINE
COMMUNICATION 103
The purpose of this outline is to help you and your partner
organize your thoughts and ideas into a single, structured
outline and speech. It will help you arrange and format your
main points and sub-points so that your speech is clear to your
audience. Your Informative, Partner Speech Outline is worth 50
points. You and your partner will receive one grade for the
outline. Your outline should be typed, double-spaced, 12 point
font, and follow Small Section directions. Ideally, you will
have 4 main points (2 each); however, you can have a minimum
of 3 main points and a maximum of 5 main points. It should be
written in APA format and have a minimum of 8 references;
those references should be typed and listed on a separate page.
Be sure to print and attach the Informative Speech Outline
Grade Sheet to the front of your outline on its due date. Do not
forget to submit your outline to turnitin.com through your Small
Section BlackBoard site.
Your outline should follow the format on the following pages; it
should be clean and easy to read/follow. I will grade your
outline for both content and format. I will grade what you say,
how you organize what you say, and your grammar, spelling,
and punctuation (G/S/P). I will grade how you use evidence and
implement it into the outline. I will also grade how closely you
follow proper outline format and subordination. (Do your main
points align? Are your sub-points consistent?) I will review
that all 8 references are listed in-text as well as on the reference
page. It is a full sentence outline so that I can read what you
will present to the class on your speech day.
A title page is not necessary. This outline is graded for both
content and format. I will mark down for grammar, spelling,
and punctuation mistakes. I will evaluate the main points you
make in your outline, how you support your main points with
evidence/examples (sub-points), and I will grade how you say it
(G/S/P). Your outline should be logically organized; it should
include appropriate and not overwhelming evidence and
information. You should utilize an approved organization
pattern (topic, time, space, cause and effect, problem-solution).
See Chapter 12 of our book and the Large Lecture PP for
Chapter 12 for more information. You should always proofread
your assignment at least twice- once for content and once for
format. Remember that proofreading can only improve your
grade.
In this outline, you will learn the following Student Learning
Objectives:
1. Choose and narrow a topic appropriately for this audience.
2. Generate a well-reasoned argument for this specific
audience.
3. Assess the strength of relative arguments and supporting
evidence.
4. Make connections between the material and your own lives

COMMUNICATION 103
Informative, Partner Speech and Outline
The ability to communicate and interact with different cultures
is extremely important in this day and age due to the internet,
the cultural make-up of America, and our close proximity to
another country. For this assignment, it is required that you
pick a culture that is unique and different than your own
culture. Please pick a country or culture that you are interested
in traveling to or learning more about so that you can present
this information to your classmates. You may also pick a co-
culture that is one that you are not a part of but that interests or
intrigues you (hipsters or surfers).
This is a partner speech where you will be assigned a classmate
to brainstorm, research, outline, and inform our class about a
culture, or co-culture, of your choice. You will turn in 1
outline for you and your partner and will receive one grade for
that outline. A list of References must be turned in with the
outline in APA format. You will submit your outline to
turnitin.com through your Small Section BlackBoard site. The
outline is worth 50 points, and the speech is worth 100 points.
You will be graded separately for the delivery of your speech
(60 points) but will receive the same grade for the content and
presentation aids of your speech (40 points). It is an 8-9 minute
speech, so each group member should speak an equal section (2
main points each) or equal amount of time (about 4-5 minutes).
This assignment asks you to explore the importance and effects
of intercultural communication in our world today in the format
of a two-person (partner), informative speech. Incorporating
concepts from the textbook (Informative Speaking, Chapter 14
& Culture, Chapter 2) and class discussion about informative
speaking and intercultural communication, you and a partner
will inform the audience about a mutually agreed upon topic
regarding a culture or a co-culture.
The idea of informing the class about a culture, or co-culture, is
a big project. You will have to narrow your topic since you
only have 8-9 minutes to present. In that time frame, you
cannot tell us everything about the Italian culture (for example),
so you will have to pick a few aspects of the Italian culture
(architecture, customs, rituals, government, education system,
ways of life, art, etc.). The purpose of this speech is to educate
and inform the class about a culture/co-culture and not to
judge/evaluate this culture/co-culture. Have fun with the
assignment; it is a great learning opportunity. You and your
partner will define, describe, and/or explain a culture/co-culture
to our class, think of it as if you are a teacher for this
assignment.
In this presentation, you will learn the following Student
Learning Objectives:
1. Choose and narrow a topic appropriately for this audience.
2. Generate a well-reasoned argument for this occasion.
3. Assess the strength of relative supporting evidence.
4. Create content formatted to an approved organizational
pattern appropriate to time and purpose.
5. To demonstrate effective vocal variety and nonverbal
communication (gestures and movement) skills.
6. To create a connection with the audience through competent
eye contact.
7. To demonstrate confidence and energy throughout the
presentation.
8. To utilize appropriate language for the purpose and audience.
9. To effectively adapt to various public speaking situations and
circumstances.
10. To gain public speaking experience with effective use of
presentation aids.
11. To learn about a new culture, or co-culture, and become
more culturally aware.
12. To competently communicate with and about another
culture/co-culture.
13. To work with another student and create a professional
presentation together.
The grade sheet of how you will be evaluated in your speech is
also on BB. IT SHOULD BE PRINTED OUT AND BROUGHT
TO CLASS THE DAY OF YOUR SPEECH. Each member has
to bring his/her own grade sheet to class. Be sure to review that
grade sheet to gain insight into how you will be graded on this
speech. If you have any questions, please contact your Small
Section Instructor. Do not forget: Practice, Practice, and
Practice. Good luck and have fun with this assignment.
MY SPEECH DATE:
INFORMATIVE SPEECH
Time Limit: 8:00 - 9:00 minutes Total
Possible Points: 100
Purpose:
1. The goal of this speech is to partner with another student and
choose an intercultural topic. Think of this as an informative
speech where you and your partner will define/describe/explain
another culture, or co-culture, in a detailed format.
2. You will select a topic you are knowledgeable and passionate
about. The goal is to increase the audience’s knowledge or
understanding of a culture/co-culture, so you should consider
the best way to achieve your goal. You are essentially teaching
a classroom-style 8-9 minute crash-course, or providing a
training, on the culture/co-culture of your choice. You must
have between 3-5 main points.
General Information:
1. Things to consider when selecting a topic:
· Choose a culture/co-culture other than your own or that of
your partner.
· Pick a culture/co-culture you are passionate about! This will
help you be successful in delivering your speech.
· Select main points that are appropriate given the length of the
speech.
· The topic should be sensitive to the demographics of the
audience based on gender, race, ethnicity, culture, age, sex, etc.
2. Your topic can be broken up in a variety of ways. For
example, if you decided you are passionate about The Running
of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, your speech could be about 3
separate features on The Running of the Bulls (topic), or it
could be about how The Running of the Bulls originated and has
evolved to its present form (chronological/time).
3. The use of 1 note card per speaker is allowed for this speech.
Speech Requirements:
1. Within your speech, you must use examples and facts.
2. You must use at least 1 expert quotation and at least 1
statistic must be introduced with a verbal footnote.
3. Minimum of 8 references must be cited in the outline. The
sources can be: websites, magazines, academic /science
journals, books (online and paper/hard back), and newspapers.
You cannot use Wikipedia or dictionary.com as 1 of your
sources.
4. You must site your 4 of your references in the speech. You
can do this by saying: “According to Fisher, ‘1 out of 3 people
who…”. A list of your references will be turned in APA format
with your outline. These are called verbal footnotes.
5. A presentation aid must be utilized at an appropriate time
during the speech. A presentation aid may include graphs,
pictures, props, models, charts, and/or objects. PowerPoint can
be used, but it should be used sparingly. You can show a video,
but it cannot be longer than 45 seconds.
6. You should dress professionally/appropriately. Your clothes
should not distract from your presentation.
7. Obviously, I will grade the strength of your argument as well
as how you deliver your speech.

Essay due on or before 22616 at noonWrite a critical analysi.docx

  • 1. Essay due on or before 2/26/16 at noon Write a critical analysis of “To build a fire” by Jack London (link to full story text “To Build a Fire” below) http://www.jacklondons.net/buildafire.html Write a 750-950-word essay on one of the following topics. Aim for a 5-paragraph essay structure (introduction with thesis, three or more body paragraphs, and a conclusion). The word count does not include the Works Cited page or formatting. Your essay should be formatted in MLA style, including double spacing throughout. All sources should be properly cited both in the text and on a works cited page. As with most academic writing, this essay should be written in third person. In the upper left-hand corner of the paper, place your name, the professor’s name, the course name, and the due date for the assignment on consecutive lines. Double space your information from your name onward, and don't forget a title. All papers should be in Times New Roman font with 12-point type with one-inch margins all the way around your paper. All paragraph indentations should be indented five spaces (use the tab key) from the left margin. All work is to be left justified. When quoting lines in literature, please research the proper way to cite short stories, plays, or poems. Be careful that you don’t create a "cut and paste" paper of information from your various sources. Your ideas are to be new and freshly constructed. Also, take great care not to plagiarize. All work submitted will be checked for originality thru “Turnitin” INFORMATIVE, PARTNER SPEECH OUTLINE COMMUNICATION 103
  • 2. The purpose of this outline is to help you and your partner organize your thoughts and ideas into a single, structured outline and speech.

You and your partner will receive one grade for the outline. Your outline should be typed, double-spaced, 12 point font, and follow Small Section directions. Ideally, you will have 4 main points (2 each); however, you can have a minimum of 3 main points and a maximum of 5 main points. It should be written in APA format and have a minimum of 8 references; those references should be typed and listed on a separate page. Be sure to print and attach the Informative Speech Outline Grade Sheet to the front of your outline on its due date. Do not forget to submit your outline to turnitin.com through your Small Section BlackBoard site. Your outline should follow the format on the following pages; it should be clean and easy to read/follow. I will grade your outline for both content and format. I will grade what you say, how you organize what you say, and your grammar, spelling, and punctuation (G/S/P). I will grade how you use evidence and implement it into the outline. I will also grade how closely you follow proper outline format and subordination. (Do your main points align? Are your sub-points consistent?) I will review that all 8 references are listed in-text as well as on the reference page. It is a full sentence outline so that I can read what you will present to the class on your speech day. A title page is not necessary. This outline is graded for both content and format. I will mark down for grammar, spelling, and punctuation mistakes. I will evaluate the main points you make in your outline, how you support your main points with evidence/examples (sub-points), and I will grade how you say it (G/S/P). Your outline should be logically organized; it should
  • 3. include appropriate and not overwhelming evidence and information. You should utilize an approved organization pattern (topic, time, space, cause and effect, problem-solution). See Chapter 12 of our book and the Large Lecture PP for Chapter 12 for more information. You should always proofread your assignment at least twice- once for content and once for format. Remember that proofreading can only improve your grade. In this outline, you will learn the following Student Learning Objectives: 1. Choose and narrow a topic appropriately for this audience. 2. Generate a well-reasoned argument for this specific audience. 3. Assess the strength of relative arguments and supporting evidence. 4. Make connections between the material and your own lives and experiences. 5. To learn about a new culture, or co-culture and how to become more culturally aware. 6. Create content formatted to an approved organizational pattern appropriate to time and purpose. 7. To use correct Grammar, Punctuation, and Spelling. 8. Develop a well crafted, specific thesis statement. 9. To effectively utilize the rule of subordination. 10. To appropriately demonstrate the rule of division. 11.

For this assignment, it is required that you pick a culture that is unique and different than your own culture. Please pick a country or culture that you are interested in traveling to or learning more about so that you can present this information to your classmates. You may also pick a co- culture that is one that you are not a part of but that interests or
  • 7. intrigues you (hipsters or surfers). This is a partner speech where you will be assigned a classmate to brainstorm, research, outline, and inform our class about a culture, or co-culture, of your choice. You will turn in 1 outline for you and your partner and will receive one grade for that outline. A list of References must be turned in with the outline in APA format. You will submit your outline to turnitin.com through your Small Section BlackBoard site. The outline is worth 50 points, and the speech is worth 100 points. You will be graded separately for the delivery of your speech (60 points) but will receive the same grade for the content and presentation aids of your speech (40 points). It is an 8-9 minute speech, so each group member should speak an equal section (2 main points each) or equal amount of time (about 4-5 minutes). This assignment asks you to explore the importance and effects of intercultural communication in our world today in the format of a two-person (partner), informative speech. Incorporating concepts from the textbook (Informative Speaking, Chapter 14 & Culture, Chapter 2) and class discussion about informative speaking and intercultural communication, you and a partner will inform the audience about a mutually agreed upon topic regarding a culture or a co-culture. The idea of informing the class about a culture, or co-culture, is a big project. You will have to narrow your topic since you only have 8-9 minutes to present. In that time frame, you cannot tell us everything about the Italian culture (for example), so you will have to pick a few aspects of the Italian culture (architecture, customs, rituals, government, education system, ways of life, art, etc.). The purpose of this speech is to educate and inform the class about a culture/co-culture and not to judge/evaluate this culture/co-culture. Have fun with the assignment; it is a great learning opportunity. You and your partner will define, describe, and/or explain a culture/co-culture
  • 8. to our class, think of it as if you are a teacher for this assignment. In this presentation, you will learn the following Student Learning Objectives: 1. Choose and narrow a topic appropriately for this audience. 2. Generate a well-reasoned argument for this occasion. 3. Assess the strength of relative supporting evidence. 4. Create content formatted to an approved organizational pattern appropriate to time and purpose. 5. To demonstrate effective vocal variety and nonverbal communication (gestures and movement) skills. 6. To create a connection with the audience through competent eye contact. 7. To demonstrate confidence and energy throughout the presentation. 8. To utilize appropriate language for the purpose and audience. 9. To effectively adapt to various public speaking situations and circumstances. 10. To gain public speaking experience with effective use of presentation aids. 11. To learn about a new culture, or co-culture, and become more culturally aware. 12. To competently communicate with and about another culture/co-culture. 13. To work with another student and create a professional presentation together. The grade sheet of how you will be evaluated in your speech is also on BB. IT SHOULD BE PRINTED OUT AND BROUGHT TO CLASS THE DAY OF YOUR SPEECH. Each member has to bring his/her own grade sheet to class. Be sure to review that grade sheet to gain insight into how you will be graded on this speech. If you have any questions, please contact your Small Section Instructor. Do not forget: Practice, Practice, and Practice. Good luck and have fun with this assignment.
  • 9. MY SPEECH DATE: INFORMATIVE SPEECH Time Limit: 8:00 - 9:00 minutes Total Possible Points: 100 Purpose: 1. The goal of this speech is to partner with another student and choose an intercultural topic. Think of this as an informative speech where you and your partner will define/describe/explain another culture, or co-culture, in a detailed format. 2. You will select a topic you are knowledgeable and passionate about. The goal is to increase the audience’s knowledge or understanding of a culture/co-culture, so you should consider the best way to achieve your goal. You are essentially teaching a classroom-style 8-9 minute crash-course, or providing a training, on the culture/co-culture of your choice. You must have between 3-5 main points. General Information: 1. Things to consider when selecting a topic: · Choose a culture/co-culture other than your own or that of your partner. · Pick a culture/co-culture you are passionate about! This will help you be successful in delivering your speech. · Select main points that are appropriate given the length of the speech. · The topic should be sensitive to the demographics of the audience based on gender, race, ethnicity, culture, age, sex, etc. 2. Your topic can be broken up in a variety of ways. For
  • 10. example, if you decided you are passionate about The Running of the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain, your speech could be about 3 separate features on The Running of the Bulls (topic), or it could be about how The Running of the Bulls originated and has evolved to its present form (chronological/time). 3. The use of 1 note card per speaker is allowed for this speech. Speech Requirements: 1. Within your speech, you must use examples and facts. 2. You must use at least 1 expert quotation and at least 1 statistic must be introduced with a verbal footnote. 3. Minimum of 8 references must be cited in the outline. The sources can be: websites, magazines, academic /science journals, books (online and paper/hard back), and newspapers. You cannot use Wikipedia or dictionary.com as 1 of your sources. 4. You must site your 4 of your references in the speech. You can do this by saying: “According to Fisher, ‘1 out of 3 people who…”. A list of your references will be turned in APA format with your outline. These are called verbal footnotes. 5. A presentation aid must be utilized at an appropriate time during the speech. A presentation aid may include graphs, pictures, props, models, charts, and/or objects. PowerPoint can be used, but it should be used sparingly. You can show a video, but it cannot be longer than 45 seconds. 6. You should dress professionally/appropriately. Your clothes should not distract from your presentation. 7. Obviously, I will grade the strength of your argument as well as how you deliver your speech.
