Freedom in America Paper Assignment
Step 1:
Pick a topic. What topic are you most interested in pertaining to this course? What is a topic you would be interested in writing a paper on? Your topic should not be too broad. For example, the Harlem Renaissance, is too broad. Focusing on a specific cause of the downfall of Reconstruction is a possible topic.
Step 2:
Research the internet and the library for primary sources, or first hand accounts of documents that relate to your topic. Analyze at least
at least ONE
primary source for your paper, you may use more than 1, but you must use at least 1.
Step 3:
Analyze.
When analyzing your document, thoroughly scrutinize the document, what it says, and the argument. Look through “
Guidelines for Analyzing a Primary Source
” (below) to help you come up with a complete analysis of your primary source(s).
Step 4:
Choose at least 4 books and/or articles
from the library or online journals from the library’s online databases. For journal articles, go to UD’s Library database section. For the databases section, articles on U.S. History can be found through Jstor and Project Muse.
*Do not use any encyclopedia sources or the class readings as a
secondary
source. If you use a website, it must be approved by the Instructor. You may use them as a reference, but these do not count towards your secondary sources.
Step 5:
Make sure you have a
thesis
statement
. This is the most important sentence in your paper. The thesis should be located in the first paragraph of your paper. The statement should be
concise
and not too broad. A thesis is the argument or point of view for your paper. It is something that you and someone else can
debate
. Your thesis statement should start out by stating something such as “This paper argues that...” The thesis statement is the statement that guides you throughout the paper. All of your main ideas should connect to your thesis statement.
1
Step 6:
Write your paper! Keep in mind the following:
1) Papers must be typewritten, double-spaced in 12 pt font, and 1-inch margins. Papers should be at least
5 full pages plus a Works Cited page (6 total)
and include an introduction, body, and conclusion.
2) You should have a well-articulated
thesis
. Formulate a central theme that links the primary source document(s) together and connects them to the secondary sources--the books and/or articles you use..
3) Use the "Guidelines for Analyzing Primary Sources" below as a guide. You do not have to answer every question, but be sure to answer the who/what/where/when/why of the document. Describe the audience for this document. Then move on to your own analysis....
4) Analyze your documents. What do they tell you about the cultures that created these stories? How do they enhance our knowledge beyond the course readings and material? Can you discern any deeper meanings beyond what is just on the page? What were the motivations for crea ...
This presentation has been used to guide workshops on research and academic writing conventions for upperclassman and first-year graduate students. However, it could be adapted for a first and second year student audience. The content is rich, emphasizing reflection, research/inquiry, as well as grammar. This material also demonstrates how to use new media as part of an overall research strategy. The presentation is designed to be presented interactively with writers across the disciplines, multilingual writers, and any writer unfamiliar with the academic writing process. The content is not linear, as many slides could be clipped and customized for integration into a first-year writing course, or even a session or workshop for graduate student writers of any classification.

Major Assignment #3: Documenting People and Places
Beekeepers in Suffolk County
The rhetorical situation for your essay:
Purpose: To create an informative and insightful profile of either a group of people whose lives
and experiences we might otherwise not witness or understand, and/or a profile of a place and
the people who inhabit it, and/or an event and the perspectives of different people on the event.
Audience: Your audience for this essay is readers like yourselves: college-educated readers who
are curious about everyday experiences of ordinary people, and want to learn about amateur
archers, or the goings on behind the scenes at a local eatery; about a day in the life of a team of
firefighters, the American River Parkway, or people’s responses to the turkey population in Davis.
Role: Your role as a writer is to recreate and describe these people’s experiences, not only the
external world of your subjects but also your subjects’ internal reactions to events.
Context: You are asked to profile a group of people and/or a place, and/or an event and people’s
responses in such a way as to reveal aspects of your subject that would otherwise remain
unknown and invisible to your readers.
2
Topic:
Despite the quantity of information online and in print, most of us have very little idea what other
people do for a living, or how some of the everyday objects we buy are produced, distributed, sold
or disposed of. Structuring a creative non-fiction essay around a day in the life of volunteers at the
raptor center, or the janitorial staff on campus, or the process by which a surfboard is designed
and manufactures, affords insights into lives and experiences we might otherwise never learn
about or understand. Your aim is to document your subjects’ lives as fully as you can, and as
faithfully as you can. Your report needs to be authoritative, based on facts and evidence and first-
hand observation. And it needs to be revealing—you need to dig beyond the surface to discover
truths that might not be obvious to the casual bystander.
The subject of your informative profile is open, but you need to select a group, or a place, or an
event where you can conduct interviews yourself (primary sources) in addition to undertaking
secondary research. Consider focusing on one of the following:
an intriguing local place. This could be a public place, such as a government or campus
building, or possibly a store or other place of business.
an organization or recognized group of people—a campus club, a research lab, a local
business.
a significant recent event. If you choose an event, you must be able to rely on your own
personal observations of the event and you must be able to interview other people who were
there.

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.

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

2. Time to Think
Think about all the activities you were involved
in the past 24 hours.
Where did you go?
What did you do?
Who did you spend time with?
What did you eat? Where?
Get specific!
3. Make a list
On a piece of paper, take two minutes to write.
You can write it in sentence form or make a list.
Be prepared to share with your table.
4. Make a Chart
At your table group, make a chart.
Activities Evidence
Examples of Evidence
text messages
receipts
photos
surveillance cameras
5. Team Discussion
Review your list of activities and evidence
chart.
Discuss:
• Which of your daily activities were most likely
to leave trace evidence behind?
Why would this be important?
6. More discussion...
More questions to consider:
What, if any, of that evidence might be preserved for the
future? Why?
• What would a person from the future be able to tell about
your life and your society based on evidence of your daily
activities that might be preserved for the future?
Why would this be important?
7. What does the evidence suggest?
What constitutes a primary source?
Discuss the evidence they have generated as
examples of primary sources.
8. Defining Primary Sources
A primary source can be defined as:
the raw materials of history original documents
and objects that were created under the time of
study.
Highlight in yellow on your chart what evidence
your team considers primary sources. Be ready
to defend your answer.
9. Secondary Sources
Secondary sources are accounts or
interpretations of events created by someone
without firsthand experience. (They were not
there at the time of the event).
Highlight in another color what evidence on
your chart would be secondary sources. Be
prepared to defend your answer.
