This document provides guidance on writing an ethnographic essay. It discusses focusing the essay on how a cultural group sees itself and its world. The writing process involves choosing a group to study, conducting field observations and interviews, and drafting an essay. Key steps include generating ideas about possible cultural groups, narrowing the focus to an accessible group, taking field notes, and creating a sketch. The sketch acts as an early draft to help determine the essay's direction. Further research and developing the sketch into a draft are recommended, using methods like narrative, comparison/contrast, or answering a specific question. Providing evidence from fieldwork to support assertions about the culture is also emphasized.

Please write a final paper of 1500 words or more discussing the following questions. Be sure to begin your paper with an engaging introduction and clear thesis statement, develop each point in the body of your paper using examples and quotes from the assigned readings, and conclude your paper with a restatement of your thesis and closing remarks. As always, be sure to maintain your credibility by including in-text citations and a reference list correctly formatted in APA style.
1.) Short Stories: Analyze the elements of fiction, including setting, characters, point of view, plot, symbolism, themes, tone and irony. Cite specific examples from the assigned stories for each element. Which of the short stories we read was your favorite, and why? Give several reasons.
2.) Poetry: Break down the elements of poetry, including imagery, figurative language, symbolism, word choice, themes, tone and sound. Cite specific examples from the assigned poems for each element. Which of the poems we read was your favorite, and why? Share several reasons.

Writing in the disciplines
The document discusses writing styles across different academic disciplines, including the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. In the humanities, writing employs longer paragraphs and sentences, imagery, metaphors, and active voice. Evidence is textual and based on close readings. In the social sciences, quantitative and qualitative methods are used, aiming for objectivity. Writing focuses on facts, data, and conforming to IMRAD structure. In the sciences, precise language is used with an emphasis on clarity and conciseness in describing methods, results, and references according to CSE style.
Narrative-Driven Recommendation for Casual Leisure Needs
Recommender systems typically generate recommendations for a user based on their profile, or for an item given its user interactions, but there are many scenarios especially in leisure domains such as books, movies, games and music, where users have specific recommendation needs, where they want to steer the recommendation process towards certain aspects they find relevant. Currently, there are few recommender or search systems that can deal with the complexity of such directed needs, nor do we know well which data types (metadata, user ratings and reviews, item content) are useful to match against different aspects of recommendation needs. There are many discussion forums where users describe their needs and their frustration with current search and recommender systems. In this talk I will summarize our work on analyzing relevance aspects for these needs and describe experiments on dealing with these.
Literature Circles: An alternative way to use books in the classroom

In the humanities, writing employs longer paragraphs and sentences, imagery, metaphors, and active voice. Evidence is textual and based on close readings. In the social sciences, quantitative and qualitative methods are used, aiming for objectivity. Writing focuses on facts, data, and conforming to IMRAD structure. In the sciences, precise language is used with an emphasis on clarity and conciseness in describing methods, results, and references according to CSE style.
Narrative-Driven Recommendation for Casual Leisure Needs
Recommender systems typically generate recommendations for a user based on their profile, or for an item given its user interactions, but there are many scenarios especially in leisure domains such as books, movies, games and music, where users have specific recommendation needs, where they want to steer the recommendation process towards certain aspects they find relevant. Currently, there are few recommender or search systems that can deal with the complexity of such directed needs, nor do we know well which data types (metadata, user ratings and reviews, item content) are useful to match against different aspects of recommendation needs. There are many discussion forums where users describe their needs and their frustration with current search and recommender systems. In this talk I will summarize our work on analyzing relevance aspects for these needs and describe experiments on dealing with these.
Literature Circles: An alternative way to use books in the classroom
1. Literature Circles are small peer-led discussion groups where students choose to read the same story, poem or book.
2. During Literature Circles, students are divided into small groups. Each group chooses a text to read within an agreed upon time period. They then meet regularly to discuss what they've read.
3. Students are assigned temporary roles for each discussion such as Discussion Director, Smart Summarizer, Word Wizard, or Artful Artist. They rotate roles with each meeting.

Zoss High-Level Text Analysis and Techniques
This document discusses techniques for analyzing text and documents. It begins by introducing Angela Zoss and her background in linguistics, human-computer interaction, and natural language processing. It then discusses analyzing text at both the low level of individual words and the high level of full documents. Examples are given of using documents to learn about language patterns over time and across corpora, as well as using language to learn about the structure and topics of documents. The document focuses on describing, organizing, and classifying documents through both manual and automated methods. Examples described include studying pronoun frequencies, mythological networks, literary fingerprints, sentiment analysis, and classification schemes like the UCSD Map of Science and NIH Map Viewer.
Thesis Writing Guidelines
The document provides guidelines for writing a dissertation, outlining three main stages: planning, research, and writing. In the planning stage, students are advised to select a supervisor and choose a topic. For research, they should find information, draft a thesis statement, and create an outline. The writing stage involves drafting the thesis, revising, and typing the final draft. Supervisors expect dissertations to follow accepted methodologies and incorporate feedback. When choosing a topic, factors like relevance, supervision, interest, and competence should be considered. The topic should be narrow in scope and expressed concisely in the title. Outlines help achieve a well-organized thesis by showing how topics relate.
Discourse Analysis & the teaching of reading
What are the implications of discourse analysis in the teaching of certain skills? Let's find out what discourse analysis has to do with the teaching of reading. There is a lot you can do for your Ss with this information.
LIWC-ing at Texts for Insights from Linguistic Patterns
Since the mid-1990s, researchers have been using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC pronounced “luke”) software tool to explore various text corpora for hidden insights from linguistic patterns. The LIWC tool has evolved over the years. Simultaneously, research using computational text analysis has evolved and shed light on areas of deception, threat assessment, personality, predictive analytics, and other areas. This presentation will highlight some of the applications of LIWC in the research literature and showcase the tool on some original text sets.
Why English ppt.pptx
This document outlines the English curriculum for years 7-9. It discusses the key skills and content areas that need to be practiced each year, including reading, listening, writing, speaking, research, and realia (cultural awareness). For each skill and year, it lists the specific elements that require practice, such as strategies, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and text types. It then provides examples of units and assessments that could be used to teach and evaluate those areas. The overall approach is to provide repetition, focused skill lessons, and evaluation of goals, using a variety of everyday activities and material.
Discourse analysis (Schmitt's book chapter 4)
The document discusses discourse analysis and its approaches. It covers conversational analysis, ethnography, speech act theory, structural functional linguistics, and systemic functional linguistics. Conversational analysis examines patterns in turn-taking, adjacency pairs, and back-channel responses in natural conversations. Ethnography uses the speaking grid and analyzes speech events and genres. Structural functional linguistics developed models to analyze classroom discourse with transactions, exchanges, moves, and acts.

Homs06 b—thesis
Cisneros uses various forms of figurative language to develop characters and themes in her work. She employs personification to show how Esperanza identifies with skinny trees and draws inner strength. Cisneros establishes a theme of self-determination through references to the "secret strength" of trees' underground roots, mirroring Esperanza's inspiration from within. Overall, the passage discusses how Cisneros crafts complex characters and themes of feeling like an outsider versus conforming through her strategic use of literary devices like metaphor, tone, and imagery.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
