Writing a Critical Review (analytical) Essay
Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear thesis, placed (perhaps) somewhere near the end of the introductory paragraph. Simply stated, a THESIS (or ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence, the point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your essay.
A
THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not merely a fact or observation. The best possible THESIS will answer some specific questions about the text. Very often the THESIS contains an outline of the major points to be covered in the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in Perry Henzell’s
The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows:
The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the word, but a self-centered young man bred of economic oppression and cultural dependency. The characters in this film have no real psychological depth, but are markers for a society of consumption and momentary glory.
(You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in favor or against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to only one perspective.)
What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt to answer?
Each essay should be organized into five (5) paragraphs, each based on one of two to four major ideas, which will comprise the BODY of the essay. Each paragraph must have a topic sentence, often (but not always) towards the beginning of the paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to be made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth above, the first paragraph might begin with a sentence like “Ivan’s desires and his destiny are sig ...

Writing a Critical Review (analytical) Essay
2020/2/21 Critical Review #2 - WebCOM™ 2.0
https://smc.grtep.com/index.cfm/smcc/page/2criticalreviews 2/10
1. Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear thesis, placed
(perhaps) somewhere near the end of the introductory paragraph. Simply
stated, a THESIS (or ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence,
the point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your essay. A
THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not merely a fact or
observation. The best possible THESIS will answer some speci�c questions
about the text. Very often the THESIS contains an outline of the major points
to be covered in the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in
Perry Henzell’s The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows:
The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the word, but a
self-centered young man bred of economic oppression and cultural
dependency. The characters in this �lm have no real psychological depth, but
are markers for a society of consumption and momentary glory.
(You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in favor or
against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to only one perspective.)
What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt to answer?
2. Each essay should be organized into �ve (5) paragraphs, each based on one
of two to four major ideas, which will comprise the BODY of the essay. Each
paragraph must have a topic sentence, often (but not always) towards the
beginning of the paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to
be made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth.
Conventions for Writing about LiteratureIntegrating Quotatio.docxdickonsondorris
Conventions for Writing about Literature
Integrating Quotations:
Quotation with Signal Phrase:
If you are quoting dialogue (the spoken words of a character) in a work of literature, you should introduce the character who is speaking and provide a context for the spoken words. Use a signal phrase which names the speaker to incorporate the quotation.
For example: When Josephine begs Louise to open the door, Louise says, “Go away. I am not making myself ill” (8).
Or: Louise says, “Go away. I am not making myself ill” (8).
Introduced Quotation:
If you are quoting prose (non-spoken words) rather than dialogue (spoken words of a character) in a work of literature, there are also ways to smoothly incorporate quotations. One way to do this is to use an introduced quotation. To do this, first introduce the quote with a complete statement in your own words. Then, use a colon (:) in order to show that quotation which follows the colon is an example or further explanation of your statement.
For example: Louise Mallard’s outer appearance clearly reveals her inner qualities: “She was young, with a fair, calm face, whose lines bespoke repression and even a certain strength” (7).
Blended Quotation:
Another way to quote prose is to use a blended quotation. This is when you blend a quotation into your own sentence. Sometimes, this means that you blend only a part of the original sentence into your own sentence. Also make sure that your blended sentence is grammatically correct.
For example: “The patches of blue sky” (7) represent hope in Louise Mallard’s bleak life.
Other Literary Conventions to Keep in Mind:
· In writing about literature, it is a convention to write in the present tense.
· Put titles of self-contained works (like novels) in italics, and put titles of works that are published as part of a larger whole (like the readings from Signs of Life ) in quotation marks.
· Put quotes within quotes in single quotation marks. (see WRP p.197).
· Put brackets around anything that you need to change within the quote. (see WRP p.206).
· Use ellipses to indicate omitted material from the quote. (see WRP p.202-205).
· Indent (10 spaces) quotations of more than four lines. These long quotations are double-spaced and the parenthetical citations are placed after the end punctuation. Do not include quotation marks for long quotations. (see WRP p.198).

Overall Instruction:
· For any of these topic choices, you must quote directly from your chosen works and include page numbers in a parenthetical citation after quotes. Instructions for in-text, parenthetical citations are attached (see pages 3-5 of this handout).
· Choose quoted passages that function as strong evidence and help you communicate your main message about the works of literature you are analyzing. Once you quote a passage, be sure to USE it: that is, interpret what it’s saying and tie it back to your main point about the text. Through your interpretation (analysis) of each and every quote, you should advance your paper’s main argument (thesis).
· Avoid summary! In none of these assignment choices do I ask you to summarize or retell the storyline. Assume your audience has read the pieces that you’re writing about. Instead of summary, I want your creative-analytical response to the literature.
Topics:
1. Put any character in conversation with a character from another work by a different author. Createthe dialogue they might have. Note that your dialogue should capture an important aspect of each character and should be focused on one main theme. You might, for example, have two characters discuss their views about their adversaries or lovers, their plans for dealing with a similar problem they have (e.g. unfaithful spouses or low social status), their different encounters with the underworld, and so on. Write a dialogue (of any length) between the two characters and attach it to an essay of 4-5 pages explaining the reasons you chose to write this particular dialogue and the message you wanted to get across about the role these characters play in their respective works and the burdens or successes they represent. Keep in mind that you don’t have to choose a work’s main characters; it would be very interesting to choose minor characters who play a smaller but critical role in the text. The best essays will illuminate a surprising intersection between the character and texts, as well as an important message about both your characters and the works they represent. Be sure to quote from the original texts in your dialogue and accompanying essay. An alternate approach to this essay choice would be to put two different authors from our syllabus into dialogue with each other.
2. Imagine that you’re planning a film based on a pairing or group of works from the syllabus. Write a description of your film, making sure to answer the questions: why make a film on your chosen works? What message, drawn from the original texts, are you trying to get across, and why do you think it’s important for a contemporary audience to hear this message? Also, think about the stylistic decisions that a film director makes and explain how you would like to see your film made, and why. (Is it a big- budget action film, a romance with recognizable stars, a musical, a comedy, or a “quieter” family drama?) Write an essay of 6-8 pages in which you discuss the .

FILM, BOOK, OR ESSAY TITLES
Italicize or underline film and book titles. You typically also include the film’s director and date in
parentheses the first time you mention the film in your paper; this may be important if you want to stress the
historical context or sequence of your films discussed.
Examples: Do the Right Thing (Spike Lee, 1989) Or, if the filmmaker is already addressed: Fantastic Mr. Fox

THE HISTORICAL PRESENT AND PARANTHETICAL INFORMATION
Most textual analysis and commentary is written in a form of the present tense called the historical present
(or literary present). This applies to films and to written works. The idea is that the events or ideas expressed
or represented in a text continue, even after you read or watched it. This can get a little complicated when
you alternate between recounting a past event (Jean Renoir directed this film in 1937, or Walter Benjamin
wrote his first draft in 1934) and the content itself (Renoir’s film implies that national differences can be
overcome; In the film, Renoir insinuates that groups are bound by class—note that this refers to the film as
well as the filmmaker).
Example: In Taxi Driver (Martin Scorsese, 1976) Travis Bickle (Robert De Niro) rehearses his gun-slinging
before the mirror.
First, note that the character does theses things in the film, not the actor—although you could say “Jodie
Foster’s character gets into the car…” It is not always necessary, or even helpful, to always include the
actor’s name—particularly when he or she is relatively unknown or plays a minor character. Once you have
provided the parenthetical information you don’t need to do it again. For example, you may have a line a
few paragraphs later: In Taxi Driver’s climatic confrontation, Travis shoots Sport (Harvey Keitel) on his way
to rescue Iris. As a side note, I use the possessive on the film title here, but only italicize the film itself (not
the apostrophe-s).

Format:
MLA, double-spaced, 12-point font
Required sources
: The short stories we’ve read to date
Now that we have nearly completed the short fiction unit of this course, it’s time to get to work on your critical papers.
The goal of a “lens analysis” essay or critical paper is
not
to simply compare and contrast two or three works of literature, but to put them in conversation with one another. We aren’t necessarily interested in how two or three particular stories contrast (because
every
story is different in a myriad of ways). We’re interested in looking at the ways the stories and their writers illuminate one another, how elements of craft and author intention are evident across multiple works of literature, and we’re interested in seeing how these elements of craft work to create different effects and create meaning in many works of literature.
Start your paper by formulating a two or three-sentence thesis statement or
argument
. You must then pull no less than
two quotes
from each story or text, passages of the story that serve as evidence to your thesis/argument.
You may choose one of the following essay topics (or another idea altogether) to address in your paper:
Character:
Choose protagonists (main characters) from two or three of the stories we’ve read. What does the protagonist most want? Make an argument. Who or what is in his/her way (antagonist)? Why is this a source of conflict or tension for him/her? What is the crisis? How does the climax or ending give you more insight into the meaning of the character’s desires and the overall theme(s) of the story? How do those desires change throughout the story?
Detail & Description and Imagery:
What sensory details make the world of the characters in these stories come alive? How is description working to affect meaning? What does the imagery add to the sensory in terms of emotional associations it brings to the text? Does the image recur (i.e. “the things they carried”)? If so, how does this repetition work to create meaning or enhance theme? Do you notice any
objective correlatives, metaphors
or examples of
personification
that enhance or affect meaning? Pick two different passages in each story you choose, and discuss how the writer’s choice of details and imagery helps characterize a place or a person, suggesting something that goes unstated (subtext) in the themes.
Subtext:
What goes unsaid in the dialogue and how does the writer give us hints to this subtext? Choose
at least
two passages of description of action or dialogue from two different stories and “read between the lines.” How are character gestures, imagery and/or metaphor working to help you “read between the lines” or uncover the subtext and Hemingway’s
Iceberg Theory.
What do you think is the purpose of subtext? What effect does subtext have on the reader?
Point of View and Voice:
How does the author’s use of sty.

How to Write a Analytical Essay
Writing an analytical essay can seem daunting, especially if you've never done it before. Don't
worry! Take a deep breath, buy yourself a caffeinated beverage, and follow these steps to create
a well-crafted analytical essay.
What do you want to analyze?
Your analysis must have the following four sections:
Introduction
Summary
Analysis
Conclusion (optional)
Part 1: Prewriting your essay
1. Understand the objective of an analytical essay. An analytical essay means you will
need to present some type of argument, or claim, about what you are analyzing. Most
often you will have to analyze another piece of writing or a film, but you could also be
asked to analyze an issue, or an idea. To do this, you must break the topic down into parts
and provide evidence, either from the text/film or from your own research, that supports
your claim.
For example, "Stanley Kubrick's The Shining uses a repeating motif of Native American
culture and art to comment on America's history of colonizing Native Americans' lands" is an
analytical thesis. It is analyzing a particular text and setting forth an argument about it in the
form of a thesis statement.
2. Decide what to write about. If you are writing this for a class, your teacher will
generally assign you a topic (or topics) to write about. Read the prompt carefully. What is
the prompt asking you to do? However, sometimes you will have to come up with your
own topic.
If you're writing an analytical essay about a work of fiction, you could focus your
argument on what motivates a specific character or group of characters. Or, you could
argue why a certain line or paragraph is central to the work as a whole. For example:
Explore the concept of vengeance in the epic poem Beowulf.
If you're writing about a historical event, try focusing on the forces that contributed to
what happened.
If you're writing about scientific research or findings, analyze your results.
2
3. Brainstorm. You may not immediately know what your thesis statement should be, even
once you've chosen your topic. That's okay! Doing some brainstorming can help you
discover what you think about your topic. Consider it from as many angles as you can.
[2]
Look for repeated imagery, metaphors, phrases, or ideas. Things that repeat are often
important. See if you can decipher why these things are so crucial. Do they repeat in the
same way each time, or differently?
How does the text work? If you're writing a rhetorical analysis, for example, you might
analyze how the author uses logical appeals to support her argument and decide whether
you think the argument is effective. If you're analyzing a creative work, consider things
like imagery, visuals in a film, etc. If you're analyzing research, you may want to
consider the methods and results and analyze whether the experiment is a good design.

to simply compare and contrast two or three works of literature, but to put them in conversation with one another. We aren’t necessarily interested in how two or three particular stories contrast (because
every
story is different in a myriad of ways). We’re interested in looking at the ways the stories and their writers illuminate one another, how elements of craft and author intention are evident across multiple works of literature, and we’re interested in seeing how these elements of craft work to create different effects and create meaning in many works of literature.
Start your paper by formulating a two or three-sentence thesis statement or
argument
. You must then pull no less than
two quotes
from each story or text, passages of the story that serve as evidence to your thesis/argument.
You may choose one of the following essay topics (or another idea altogether) to address in your paper:
Character:
Choose protagonists (main characters) from two or three of the stories we’ve read. What does the protagonist most want? Make an argument. Who or what is in his/her way (antagonist)? Why is this a source of conflict or tension for him/her? What is the crisis? How does the climax or ending give you more insight into the meaning of the character’s desires and the overall theme(s) of the story? How do those desires change throughout the story?
Detail & Description and Imagery:
What sensory details make the world of the characters in these stories come alive? How is description working to affect meaning? What does the imagery add to the sensory in terms of emotional associations it brings to the text? Does the image recur (i.e. “the things they carried”)? If so, how does this repetition work to create meaning or enhance theme? Do you notice any
objective correlatives, metaphors
or examples of
personification
that enhance or affect meaning? Pick two different passages in each story you choose, and discuss how the writer’s choice of details and imagery helps characterize a place or a person, suggesting something that goes unstated (subtext) in the themes.
Subtext:
What goes unsaid in the dialogue and how does the writer give us hints to this subtext? Choose
at least
two passages of description of action or dialogue from two different stories and “read between the lines.” How are character gestures, imagery and/or metaphor working to help you “read between the lines” or uncover the subtext and Hemingway’s
Iceberg Theory.
What do you think is the purpose of subtext? What effect does subtext have on the reader?
Point of View and Voice:
How does the author’s use of sty.

How to Write a Analytical Essay
Writing an analytical essay can seem daunting, especially if you've never done it before. Don't
worry! Take a deep breath, buy yourself a caffeinated beverage, and follow these steps to create
a well-crafted analytical essay.
What do you want to analyze?
Your analysis must have the following four sections:
Introduction
Summary
Analysis
Conclusion (optional)
Part 1: Prewriting your essay
1. Understand the objective of an analytical essay. An analytical essay means you will
need to present some type of argument, or claim, about what you are analyzing. Most
often you will have to analyze another piece of writing or a film, but you could also be
asked to analyze an issue, or an idea. To do this, you must break the topic down into parts
and provide evidence, either from the text/film or from your own research, that supports
your claim.
For example, "Stanley Kubrick's The Shining uses a repeating motif of Native American
culture and art to comment on America's history of colonizing Native Americans' lands" is an
analytical thesis. It is analyzing a particular text and setting forth an argument about it in the
form of a thesis statement.
2. Decide what to write about. If you are writing this for a class, your teacher will
generally assign you a topic (or topics) to write about. Read the prompt carefully. What is
the prompt asking you to do? However, sometimes you will have to come up with your
own topic.
If you're writing an analytical essay about a work of fiction, you could focus your
argument on what motivates a specific character or group of characters. Or, you could
argue why a certain line or paragraph is central to the work as a whole. For example:
Explore the concept of vengeance in the epic poem Beowulf.
If you're writing about a historical event, try focusing on the forces that contributed to
what happened.
If you're writing about scientific research or findings, analyze your results.
2
3. Brainstorm. You may not immediately know what your thesis statement should be, even
once you've chosen your topic. That's okay! Doing some brainstorming can help you
discover what you think about your topic. Consider it from as many angles as you can.
[2]
Look for repeated imagery, metaphors, phrases, or ideas. Things that repeat are often
important. See if you can decipher why these things are so crucial. Do they repeat in the
same way each time, or differently?
How does the text work? If you're writing a rhetorical analysis, for example, you might
analyze how the author uses logical appeals to support her argument and decide whether
you think the argument is effective. If you're analyzing a creative work, consider things
like imagery, visuals in a film, etc. If you're analyzing research, you may want to
consider the methods and results and analyze whether the experiment is a good design.

Describe, in detail, one of the processes of cell survival. Describe how an abnormality in one of these cell functions causes cancer.
To support your work, use your course and text readings and also use outside sources. As in all assignments, cite your sources in your work and provide references for the citations in APA format.

Translating Theories and Research into Practice
Introduction
You found that theories are conceptual frameworks that provide an explanation of a prob
lem. They are most useful when they are applied. Models provide the guidelines for implementing the theories.
You will examine how three major models are used to develop intervention programs. The three models are the PRECEDE – PROCEED, Intervention Mapping, and Mobilizing for Planning and Partnership (MAPP) models.
Examine how a theory has been applied to a health intervention in order to address a health disparity

Treating people fairly (e.g no discrimination, harassment, absence of conflicts of interest, promoting customer confidence, confidentiality, product safety, fiduciary responsibility, use of corporate resources, appropriate use of social media, providing honest information) are widely established expectations, yet some people fail to abide by these expectations. How can we improve on this so managers and employees treat each other more fairly?

Transparency in the Workplace
It is not a surprise that
"transparency"
is a topic of discussion these days in all sectors--for-profit, nonprofit and government. It is an essential quality of organizational and leadership integrity. So...
What factors are causing transparency to be stressed as a critical organizational and professionally quality?
What does it mean to be transparent as an organization, a manager and a staff employee?
What does it mean to be transparent in business dealings and in creating and maintaining business/workplace partnerships?
What are the underlying principles and values that guide organizations and the professionals in being transparent (e.g., trustworthiness, honesty, etc.)? Why are these values important and how are they connected to being transparent?
How can transparency become more an intrinsic value in today's organizations--for-profit, nonprofit and government--and in the business arena in general?

Translating Theory Into PracticeWhen water is in a solid state.docxdepoerossie
Translating Theory Into Practice
When water is in a solid state, particles are packed in a rigid pattern, conforming to the shape of its container. As the water turns into a liquid, the particles regain their fluidity, moving as the other particles around them begin to shift. Kurt Lewin’s change theory is much like the changing state of water. Applying this theory, Lewin describes workplaces as being frozen in their procedures. In this state, it is impossible for change to occur successfully because people are “frozen.” Informaticists must recognize this rigid culture and begin to implement strategies that will unfreeze the opinions and procedures of the setting. According to Lewin, only then will staff begin to accept new processes over old ones.
This process of moving from “freezing” to “unfreezing” can be a turbulent one. In fact, many nurses have equated this to “working in slush.” By applying theories and frameworks developed by Lewin and others, nurse informaticists can better facilitate informatics implementations. In this Discussion, you explore how theories and conceptual frameworks can be applied to informatics implementations
.
To prepare
:
Review this week’s media presentation,
Theories and Conceptual Frameworks,
and consider how a nurse informaticist can use theories to guide informatics initiatives. What are the benefits of using theories?
Review the article “Organization-Wide Adoption of Computerized Provider Order Entry Systems: A Study Based on Diffusion of Innovations Theory” in this week’s Learning Resources. Consider how Roger’s diffusion of innovation theory impacted the adoption of the informatics system.
Conduct research in the Walden Library to locate a peer-reviewed article that (1) focuses on implementing a new informatics project or procedure and (2) discusses how a theory was used to guide this implementation.
Consider alternative theories that might also be applicable to that specific implementation.
Post by tomorrow Tuesday 06/14/2016 550 words in APA format with a minimum of 4 references
1)
The APA citation for your article and a brief summary that includes the setting of the implementation, what was being implemented, the need for the implementation, and the titles of the staff who spearheaded the project (if provided).
2)
Identify the theory that drove the implementation, and explain how this theory was translated into practice by the planning team.
3)
Finally, suggest alternative theories that could have been used and support your response with references to the research literature.

Traditionally, mental illness was considered a biological problem, e.docxdepoerossie
Traditionally, mental illness was considered a biological problem, either inherited or developed due to genetic vulnerability within the individual. This point of view is termed the medical model. Treatment was provided to the individual in one-to-one meetings with a psychiatrist or sessions with a psychotherapist.
The field of mental health has evolved from the traditional model to one incorporating many more people, factors, causes, and types of treatment. The biopsychosocial-cultural model incorporates biological, psychological, developmental, familial, social, and cultural factors to understand how mental illness develops and how to design effective treatments.
Revisit the following case:
Wes Moore, the author of the book
The Other Wes Moore: One Name, Two Fates
, was surprised when one day, the police approached him for a crime he did not commit. During the investigation, he came to know of another man who had the same name—Wes Moore. The shared name was not the only coincidence: they had both grown up in the same neighborhood at about the same time. Yet, one Wes Moore went on to become a Rhodes scholar, earn honors in the military, work at the White House, and become a leader in the business community; while the other Wes Moore was sentenced to life in prison. The descriptions of the lives of both Wes Moores are illustrative of the power of heredity and environment in the shaping of a person.
As boys, both Wes Moores grew up in poor, single-parent homes and did not apply themselves in primary and secondary school. The author’s father, a newscaster, died when the author was three years old. He and his two sisters were raised by his widowed mother. Before he was a teen, he became disillusioned with school and began getting into trouble in his neighborhood, even having brushes with the law for petty crimes. His mother decided to send him to military school, but he ran away five times before finally giving the school a chance. Once he decided to stay, he gained a strong sense of purpose and developed a strong work ethic.
Meanwhile, the other Wes Moore, who lived in the same area of Baltimore, was about the same age, and was also being raised by a single mother. He was arrested and convicted for first-degree murder of a police officer during a jewelry store robbery. He is serving a life prison sentence.
Important differences between the childhoods of the two boys are notable. The author had two college-educated parents. His father chose to stay with the family, but died at a relatively young age. He was relatively closely supervised. He, his siblings, and his mother lived with his grandparents after his father died. The author’s mother took extreme steps to try to turn him around. She moved several times to try to find safer neighborhoods. She sent him to military school when he exhibited troublesome behavior.
The other Wes Moore’s father was never a part of his life, choosing to abandon the family before his birth. His mother had bee.

The government plans to develop Kuwaiti’s tourism strategy and implement many vital projects, including diverse cultural activities undertaken by the Ministry of Information’s tourism sector and the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters. The main goal is to make Kuwait a global touristic destination with its historical, archeological, and cultural legacy. At the conference ministers agreed that tourism development is important for the country’s economic and financial development, especially for jobs creation. The vital role of tourism and the entertainment industry as an important outlet for the social, cultural and local sectors was emphasized. It was concluded that tourism development is urgently needed in Kuwait, especially since most countries worldwide-adopt tourism as an integral part of their national economies.
You will need to do the following:
1)

Impact of Bring Your Device (BYOD) at workplace
Analysis of Impact Draft
This week, you will submit your Analysis of Impact draft (roughly four pages, using APA format).
This portion of the Course Project provides an analysis of the chosen technology’s influence on society considering all of the following components:
Social
How has this technology been received, accepted, or rejected? Why? Is it feared or favored? What is the attitude toward change? How are the developers trying to sell the technology to the general public? Look at attitudes, feelings (emotions), behaviors, personality, and the ways humans change as a result of this technology. What is being thought, and why? Is the human mind impacted? How? Are interactions between people changing as a result? Who is included or excluded, and why? Use Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Piaget, or some other theorist. What psychological needs are met by the technology (e.g., cell phones once granted status and now promote a sense of belonging or connectedness) or created by the technology? Consumerism?
Look at groups and organizations that have arisen and prospered because of this technology. Are these groups supportive or antagonistic, and why? (An example is genetically modified foods [GMOs] and the backlash against the Monsanto corporation. Another is cochlear implants that allow the deaf to hear yet reduce the deaf population that calls itself a community.) How does the technology change society, or how does society change in response to the technology? What factors in society led to the development in the first place? What do class, gender roles, race, norms, and the like mean in this context? Who will benefit from the technology, and who might be harmed (this might also belong in the ethics and morals section)? For example, prosthetics enable people to participate more fully and actively in society (some people compete in triathlons and marathons), and war has brought about the need for advances in prosthetic technology as casualties with missing limbs return home to the United States. Look at the workplace, new companies, and/or jobs created, jobs lost (or save this for the economics section, perhaps). Look at roles—subgroups, people’s interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. Consider crime, healthcare, and schools. Surveillance cameras, for example, have recently been installed in New York City, and the result has been a decrease in the amount of crime, purse-snatching, pickpocketing, and so forth. Yet some fear the big-brother effect of always being watched and tracked, as well as concerns over “who will guard the guards.”
Cultural
This is a really important section. Consider the elements that comprise the culture and subcultures. Compare the United States' use of the technology with that of other nations around the world. What is it about Americans that brings about innovation, or has America declined in terms of technical innovation, scientific research, and developme.
Topic Individuals currently have a rather interesting status with.docxdepoerossie
Topic:
Individuals currently have a rather interesting status within international law. They are theoretically subjects to IL, but not fully. This is because they are bound by certain international obligations in which they are held accountable individually. However, they still need, largely at the very least, the State (s) to enforce their rights (human rights for example). Discuss the process of development of legal personality of the individual in international law before and after the twentieth century.
In your text, make sure you:
Reference correctly
(in-text references and quotations please, may use footnote) AND present a bibliography at the end. No specific format necessary, as long as formatting is correct and consistent throughout the paper.
Answer the questions relating to the reading material
Show the importance of what you are writing
Link/ connect your ideas clearly
Organize your text (introduction, development and conclusion)
Only include relevant information
Provide examples
When developing your paper, be attentive to answering these questions
:
How was the status of the individual under IL before 20th century? (exception to the rule?)
How is it currently?
Landmarks of the change?
Why the change?
How is the status of the individuals different when compared to the States, IOs, NGOs?
Prospects for the future?
Your opinion.
I expect each student to develop their answer using the textbook (or any other resource offered by the instructor). All sources used NEED TO BE REFERENCED PROPERLY. Failing to reference and cite is considered a grave mistake and will have work grade reduced significantly. Two points deduction for all source not properly cited, and works without references at all receive a zero (0). There is no specific format to be used in the referencing, student may choose the format, as long as it is academic. I just need the information of where you are getting your information. All information used taken from source NEED references (direct citations or indirect paraphrase:when you mention an author’s idea without citing it literally). All sources used need (Name of the author, page #, year) and quotation marks when it is a citation.
All work need a final bibliography as well. Two points deduction for works without final bibliography.

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.

4. Writing an introductory paragraph for
the outlined analytical essay
Be sure to read thoroughly the writing conventions below before
beginning this assignment
.
Note: You are NOT writing a full essay; rather, you are
outlining an analytical essay by completing the dialogue boxes
below.
Writing a Critical Review (analytical) Essay
Every essay that you write for this course must have a clear
thesis, placed (perhaps) somewhere near the end of the
introductory paragraph. Simply stated, a THESIS (or
ARGUMENT) expresses, preferably in a single sentence, the
point you want to make about the text that is the subject of your
essay.
A
THESIS should be an opinion or interpretation of the text, not
merely a fact or observation. The best possible THESIS will
answer some specific questions about the text. Very often the
THESIS contains an outline of the major points to be covered in
the essay. A possible thesis for an essay on character in Perry
Henzell’s
The Harder They Come might read somewhat as follows:
3. The protagonist of THTC is not a hero in the epic sense of the
word, but a self-centered young man bred of economic
oppression and cultural dependency. The characters in this film
have no real psychological depth, but are markers for a society
of consumption and momentary glory.
(You might then go on to exemplify from the text and argue in
favor or against this interpretation: your essay need not hold to
only one perspective.)
What single, clear QUESTION does the above THESIS attempt
to answer?
Each essay should be organized into five (5) paragraphs, each
based on one of two to four major ideas, which will comprise
the BODY of the essay. Each paragraph must have a topic
sentence, often (but not always) towards the beginning of the
paragraph, which clearly states the ARGUMENT or point to be
made in the paragraph. Following the thesis set forth above, the
first paragraph might begin with a sentence like “Ivan’s desires
and his destiny are signaled in the opening shots of the film,
where the friendly, jumbled interior of the bus is contrasted
with Ivan’s first view of the outer world: a world of shiny white
cars and beautiful women.” Avoid topic sentences that fail to
make an interpretative statement about the work or that merely
state something any reader might observe; for example, “The
first characters we see are country people on a bus to town.”
4. Underline the THESIS and each TOPIC SENTENCE in every
critical review essay you submit. This exercise will force you to
make certain that you have expressed and developed the ideas in
your essay clearly and logically. (In other words, do not do this
exercise five minutes before you submit the essay but, rather, as
you are working on the very first draft.)
Always use present tense verbs in your critical review essays
about film texts. Present tense is the verb tense of analysis
.
Past tense, on the other hand, is the tense of narration. In each
essay, you will be analyzing a particular text, not retelling or
summarizing the story. If you find yourself slipping into past
tense as you compose, you are probably narrating rather than
analyzing.
Use specific passages from the text to support each point that
you make in your essay. You may simply refer to an event in the
text, or you may paraphrase what a character or the narrator
says. But the best EVIDENCE will most often be direct quotes
from the text.
The Introductory Paragraph – Some Approaches
In your essay, an opening or introductory paragraph may not
always be the first one you write. But it
5. will
be the first one your readers read and you need to engage your
readers’ attention and interest and present all you need to make
your thesis clear and convincing.
Some Pitfalls to Avoid
Dictionary definitions: Define key terms and concepts in your
opening paragraph, but don’t quote directly from the dictionary
to do so. Use a dictionary – more than one dictionary – to
formulate the definition in your own words.
Generalizations about “life,” “society,” “people today,” etc.:
You don’t want to begin your essay with the kind of statement
that teeters on that fine line between opinion (those ideas you
will go on to prove) and belief (those ideas unprovable with the
evidence offered by the text). Rather than a statement like,
“Almost every man has a sense of pride and will go to war to
prove it,” try something more specific to the text you are
analyzing. “The character of Roland exemplifies how personal
pride and personal valor do not always lead to the most
fortunate conclusion.”
The painfully obvious: Avoid opening statements like “Dante’s
Inferno is about a journey to hell,” or "Roland is the hero of
The Song of Roland,” unless such statements are in some way
controversial and challenging to traditional interpretations of
6. the text. Try to avoid any kind of tautological formula –
“something is something else” – in the opening sentence,
especially, but also elsewhere as an “argument.”
Try to distinguish between historical or biographical fact
:
“Dante’s
Inferno was written in fourteenth-century Italy,” and
interpretation, especially when you are considering the intention
of an author: “Dante wrote his Inferno to expose the problem of
Florentine political corruption to the world.” The latter may be
a part of your theory or thesis (or conclusion) but if you use it
as a statement of fact (an “intentional fallacy”) you will have to
prove it rather than merely argue it – a slippery and difficult
and perhaps not particularly useful task. Beware also of using
vague or imprecise generalizations of terms such as “dramatic,”
“realistic,” or “critical,” which differ in their literary and
historical significance.
Challenges to Meet
Try for a (syntactically) shapely and relevant opening sentence:
be thoughtful and original and persuasive. Always look for
interesting ways into your essay: an epigraph, perhaps, or an
important episode that seems to set the stage for what you want
to say, or a succinct comparison with another well-known work,
which will help your reader understand the point you want to
make.
7. Always (particularly in a comparative essay) identify your texts
early on. (Usually with full title, full authors’ names, and
date/period of publication.)
Think of your thesis statement as the logical goal of the first
paragraph. Everything you say here should lead towards (or
from) that thesis. Anything that doesn’t lead in that direction –
unless you are presenting a view different from yours, which
you want to argue against—doesn’t belong in your paragraph.
Think of the paragraph as a funnel, where the contents are being
concentrated and filtered to one end.
0. Using proper MLA bibliographic formatting, cite the film
text in the box to the right:
http://www.bibme.org/citation-guide/MLA/film
1. Develop a thesis statement pertaining to the assigned film
text and whether or not it, the film, in your view has the power
to transform one’s political sensibilities. Your argument should
express your point of view regarding the politics of difference,
political sensibilities, and political transformation(s) as related
to the film. Remember, you’re writing (developing) an
analytical essay. Submit your thesis statement in the box
located to the right. Be sure to proofread your work.
8. 2. Develop three (3) topic sentences that articulate the major
ideas that will comprise the body of your essay. Remember that
your topic sentences should clearly state the argument or point
to be made in the respective paragraphs and must map back to
your thesis statement. Submit your topic sentences in the box
located to the right. Be sure to proofread your work.
3. Identify three (3) scenes from the film that support your
thesis statement. Briefly explain your choices of scenes and
how the scenes specifically support your thesis statement. Also,
provide the exact time the scenes begin and end within the film
text. Submit your reply in the box located to the right. Be sure
to proofread your work.
4. Lastly, fully develop your introductory paragraph. Remember
that the best possible thesis will answer some specific question
about the text. In this case a question related to the film’s
power to transform political sensibilities regarding difference.
Your thesis statement should appear parenthetically within the
paragraph you present. Submit your answer in the box located to
the right. Be sure to proofread your work.
