HW: Thesis Statement Prompt from Chapter One of Night
This assignment is due on February 5, 2018. You must compose your own work; do not copy another’s work.
Directions:
1. Read Chapter One of Night if you have not done so.
2. CHOOSE ONE prompt from the three prompts provided. Prompts One and Two are expository, and Prompt Three is a literary analysis prompt. The literary analysis prompt is an “uphill challenge”--go for it! :-)
3. Compose ONLY: the introductory paragraph and thesis statement. Your introductory paragraph should have a narrative hook and one short piece of background information. THE FINAL SENTENCE OF YOUR INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH SHOULD BE YOUR THESIS STATEMENT. An outline of your paragraph would look like this:
I. Introduction
A. Narrative hook
B. Background information
C. Thesis statement
For instance:
Many teenagers spend a lot of time contemplating what they want to do when they
graduate from high school. I am fortunate in that I already know; I decided to become a
veterinarian when I was two or three years old. A veterinarian practices veterinary medicine, or medicine “of, relating to, practicing, or being the science and art of prevention, cure, or alleviation of disease and injury in animals and especially domestic animals” (“veterinary”). Just like humans, animals need people to treat them with the respect and dignity they deserve, and I want to be one of those people. To prepare for my future as a veterinarian, I plan to attend college and veterinary school, learn about all species of animals, and learn the skills I need to help animals.
Your thesis statement must have one main point and two supporting points.
Prompt One:
Imagine that you are a townsperson listening to Moishe the Beadle’s story. Explain why you believe Moishe’s story to be false.
Prompt Two:
There were several opportunities for Wiesel and his family to escape before they were sent to Auschwitz. Explain what these opportunities were, and explain why the family did not take advantage of them.
Prompt Three:
Define irony, and discuss Wiesel’s use of irony in the first chapter of Night. What message is he trying to convey about the Jews’ attitude and how does his use of irony help him get his message across?

Ideas for the structure of the Consolidated Portfolio
There are many possible approaches, and it is the intention to test how well the students are at
tackling the problem. In real life (as you probably know) a project manager is frequently confronted
with the need to write a report and structuring the report for the audience is always a tricky thing to
do.
However, a way of tackling the consolidated portfolio is to do the following: -
1. Introduction and summary of outcomes
2. Itemise each learning outcome: -
a. LO1
i. Summary
ii. Evidence
b. LO2
i. Summary
ii. Evidence
c. … etc.
3. Discussion and Conclusion
4. References
5. Appendix of the weeks
a. Week 1
b. Week 2
c. ... etc.
Without going overboard then when formatted bullets 1 to 3 above will be most likely 8 to 10
pages. It might be more, but it should not be less. Each LO would contain two to three
paragraphs. The important thing is to say in the LO section how the student achieved the LO. This is
done through the summary and the evidence that points to each week in the appendix.
In the course profile students are encouraged to imagine they are going before an interview panel
and had been asked to show them how they could meet the job criteria (learning outcomes). So, as
a prerequisite they had to prepare a paper for them.
The marking criteria can often be encapsulated into a four stage criteria: -
1. Does the section or topic meet all of the basic learning requirements relevant of the
course, such as knowledge of fundamental concepts and performance of basic skills;
demonstrates sufficient quality of performance to be considered satisfactory or
adequate or competent or capable in relation to the learning outcomes of the
assignment? (25%)
2. Does the section or topic reflect an ability to use and apply fundamental concepts
and skills of the course, going beyond mere replication of content knowledge or skill
to show understanding of key ideas, awareness of their relevance, some use of
analytical skills, and some originality or insight? (50%)
3. Does the section or topic demonstrate awareness and understanding of deeper and
less obvious aspects of the course, such as ability to identify and debate critical
issues or problems, ability to solve non-routine problems, ability to adapt and apply
ideas to new situations, and ability to invent and evaluate new ideas? (75%)
4. Has the section or topic been presented with imagination, originality or flair, based
on proficiency in all the relevant learning outcomes of the course; work is interesting
or surprisingly exciting, challenging, well read or scholarly? (100%)
This criterion is ADDITIVE. In other words, the last item (4) is inclusive of the previous
ones (1, 2, and 3). If you feel that a student did most of 4 then you might give them 25% of
the overall mark for the ...

Working With Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Trauma: The Case of Rita
Rita is a 22-year-old, heterosexual, Latina female working in the hospitality industry at a resort. She is the youngest of five children and lives at home with her parents. Rita has dated in the past but never developed a serious relationship. She is close to her immediate and extended family as well as to her female friends in the Latino community. Although her parents and three of her siblings were born in the Dominican Republic, Rita was born in the United States.
A year ago, Rita was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance of a male coworker. Rita and a female coworker met Juan and Bob after work at a local bar for a light meal and a few drinks. Because Rita had to get up early to work her shift the next day, Bob offered to drive her home. Instead of taking Rita directly home, however, he drove to a desolate spot nearby and assaulted her. Afterward, Bob threatened to harm her family if she did not remain silent and proceeded to drive her home. Although Rita did not tell her family what happened, she did call our agency hotline the next day to discuss her options. Because Rita’s assault occurred within the 5-day window for forensic evidence collection of this kind, Rita consented to activation of the county’s sexual assault response team (SART). Although she agreed to have an advocate and the sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) meet her at the hospital, Rita tearfully stated that she did not want to file a police report at that time because she did not want to upset her family. The nurse examiner interviewed Rita, collected evidence, recorded any injuries, administered antibiotics for possible sexually transmitted infections, and gave Rita emergency contraception in case of pregnancy. The advocate stayed with Rita during the procedure, supporting her and validating her experience, and gave her a referral for individual crisis counseling at our agency.
My treatment goals for Rita included alleviation of rape trauma syndrome symptoms that included shame and self-blame, validation of self-worth and empowerment, and processing how it would feel to discl.

Working With Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Trauma: The Case of Rita
Rita is a 22-year-old, heterosexual, Latina female working in the hospitality industry at a resort. She is the youngest of five children and lives at home with her parents. Rita has dated in the past but never developed a serious relationship. She is close to her immediate and extended family as well as to her female friends in the Latino community. Although her parents and three of her siblings were born in the Dominican Republic, Rita was born in the United States.
A year ago, Rita was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance of a male coworker. Rita and a female coworker met Juan and Bob after work at a local bar for a light meal and a few drinks. Because Rita had to get up early to work her shift the next day, Bob offered to drive her home. Instead of taking Rita directly home, however, he drove to a desolate spot nearby and assaulted her. Afterward, Bob threatened to harm her family if she did not remain silent and proceeded to drive her home. Although Rita did not tell her family what happened, she did call our agency hotline the next day to discuss her options. Because Rita’s assault occurred within the 5-day window for forensic evidence collection of this kind, Rita consented to activation of the county’s sexual assault response team (SART). Although she agreed to have an advocate and the sexual assault nurse examiner (SANE) meet her at the hospital, Rita tearfully stated that she did not want to file a police report at that time because she did not want to upset her family. The nurse examiner interviewed Rita, collected evidence, recorded any injuries, administered antibiotics for possible sexually transmitted infections, and gave Rita emergency contraception in case of pregnancy. The advocate stayed with Rita during the procedure, supporting her and validating her experience, and gave her a referral for individual crisis counseling at our agency.
My treatment goals for Rita included alleviation of rape trauma syndrome symptoms that included shame and self-blame, validation of self-worth and empowerment, and processing how it would feel to discl.

What policy changes might you suggest to help curtail the occurrence or effects of these risk factors? Remember to think about public health policy, not just criminal policy.

According to Franks and Smallwood (2013), information has become the lifeblood of every business organization, and that an increasing volume of information today has increased and exchanged through the use of social networks and Web2.0 tools like blogs, microblogs, and wikis. When looking at social media in the enterprise, there is a notable difference in functionality between e-mail and social media, and has been documented by research – “…that social media differ greatly from e-mail use due to its maturity and stability.” (Franks & Smallwood, 2013).

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.

HW: Thesis Statement Prompt from Chapter One of Night
This assignment is due on February 5, 2018. You must compose
your own work; do not copy another’s work.
Directions:
1. Read Chapter One of Night if you have not done so.
2. CHOOSE ONE prompt from the three prompts provided.
Prompts One and Two are expository, and Prompt Three is a
literary analysis prompt. The literary analysis prompt is an
“uphill challenge”--go for it! :-)
3. Compose ONLY: the introductory paragraph and thesis
statement. Your introductory paragraph should have a narrative
hook and one short piece of background information. THE
FINAL SENTENCE OF YOUR INTRODUCTORY
PARAGRAPH SHOULD BE YOUR THESIS STATEMENT. An
outline of your paragraph would look like this:
I. Introduction
A. Narrative hook
B. Background information
C. Thesis statement
For instance:
Many teenagers spend a lot of time contemplating what they
want to do when they
graduate from high school. I am fortunate in that I already
know; I decided to become a
veterinarian when I was two or three years old. A veterinarian
practices veterinary medicine, or medicine “of, relating to,
practicing, or being the science and art of prevention, cure, or
alleviation of disease and injury in animals and especially
2. domestic animals” (“veterinary”). Just like humans, animals
need people to treat them with the respect and dignity they
deserve, and I want to be one of those people. To prepare for
my future as a veterinarian, I plan to attend college and
veterinary school, learn about all species of animals, and learn
the skills I need to help animals.
Your thesis statement must have one main point and two
supporting points.
Prompt One:
Imagine that you are a townsperson listening to Moishe the
Beadle’s story. Explain why you believe Moishe’s story to be
false.
Prompt Two:
There were several opportunities for Wiesel and his family to
escape before they were sent to Auschwitz. Explain what these
opportunities were, and explain why the family did not take
advantage of them.
Prompt Three:
Define irony, and discuss Wiesel’s use of irony in the first
chapter of Night. What message is he trying to convey about the
Jews’ attitude and how does his use of irony help him get his
message across?

TASK DESCRIPTION – ASSIGNMENT 2-50%
This assignment is based on the project and its tasks that you
have identified in Assignment 1.
Part1: Initiation
Scenario
In continuation with the above project from assignment 1, you
have the options either to:
· Get it done by out-sourcing it, or
· Complete the project using the companies’ own employees.
Tasks
1. Write a short report by critically evaluating the advantages
and disadvantages of outsourcing of your project. [500 words]
Part2: Planning
Scenario
You have identified at least ten major tasks for the project in
assignment 1. You have formed a team of five people to work
11. on this project with various roles. Using the major activities
you have identified, provide answers for the following tasks.
Tasks
1. Create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with all the
major tasks you have identified. In doing so, you have to
identify subtasks at least up to level 3 under each project phase.
You are free to add any relevant additional tasks. You can use
the five phases of project management, Initiation, Planning,
Execution, Monitor and Controlling and Closing in creating
Work Breakdown Structure.[500 words]
1. Provide a stakeholder analysis by identifying at least 5
stakeholders. Stakeholder register and management strategy
must be created as well. Templates on the portal can be
used[400 words]
Part 3: Execution
Scenario
Your project has been going well until now with no major
challenges and your team is proud of it. It has been two months
into the project since it has started, and you have another two
months to go. One of the key team members, Mark met with an
accident and has been advised to take bed rest at least for two
months. This is a big setback for you, as you cannot afford to
lose even a single staff.
Tasks
1. Prepare a milestone report for the project based on
information or functionalities you have identified. Add
additional milestones, if needed, to make the report more
meaningful. Use the milestone report template on portal. [300
words]
Part 4: Controlling
Scenario
Due to Brexit uncertainties, Alex, one of the team members,
could not promise any extra funds to hire a new staff member to
12. replace Mark, whose work is being piled up. Three months into
the project, you as a project manager and your team are very
concerned about the progress of the project. After reviewing the
progress, it has been decided to have a series of bi-monthly
meetings with all affected staff.
Tasks
1. After the first bi-monthly meeting and consultations with
business experts, you have convinced Alex that the only way to
finish project successfully is to compromise scope by having
only absolute essential functionality or by hiring the extra staff
to finish the project on time with additional cost. Critically
evaluate what functionality and/or tasks can be compromised
compared to hiring additional staff with extra funding in the
current project. [500 words]
Part 5: Closing
Scenario
It is one week before your final project presentation. You have
been successful in meeting time and cost deadlines. However,
scope had to be compromised! You have been really helpful in
making this project a success.
Tasks
1. Prepare a lessons-learned report for the entire project.
Include input from all stakeholders in summarizing the lessons
learned. Use the template provided on portal.

GUIDANCE FOR Students IN THE COMPLETION OF TASKS
NOTE: The guidance offered below is linked to the five
common assessment criteria above.
1. Research-informed Literature
Your work must be informed and supported by scholarly
material that is relevant to and focused on the task(s) set. You
should provide evidence that you have accessed a wide range of
sources, which may be academic, governmental and industrial;
these sources may include academic journal articles, textbooks,
current news articles, organisational documents, and websites.
You should consider the credibility of your sources; academic
journals are normally highly credible sources while websites
require careful consideration/selection and should be used
sparingly. Any sources you use should be current and up-to-
date, mostly published within the last five years or so, though
seminal/important works in the field may be older. You must
provide evidence of your research/own reading throughout your
work, using in-text citations in the main body of your work and
a reference list that is alphabetical at the end of your work.
17. Please use the Harvard referencing system.
2. Knowledge and Understanding of Subject
Your work must demonstrate the growing extent of your
knowledge and understanding of concepts and underlying
principles associated with the subject area. Knowledge relates
to the facts, information and skills you have acquired through
your learning. You demonstrate your understanding by
interpreting the meaning of the facts and information
(knowledge). This means that you need to select and include in
your work the concepts, techniques, models, theories, etc.
appropriate to the task(s) set. You should be able to explain the
theories, concepts, etc. meaningfully to show your
understanding. Your mark/grade will also depend upon the
extent to which you demonstrate your knowledge and
understanding; ideally each should be complete and detailed,
with comprehensive coverage.
3. Analysis
Your work must contain evidence of logical, analytical
thinking, evaluation and synthesis. For example, to examine and
break information down into parts, make inferences, compile,
compare and contrast information. This means not just
describing What! but also justifying: Why? How? When? Who?
Where? At all times, you must provide justification for your
arguments and judgements. Evidence that you have reflected
upon the ideas of others within the subject area is crucial to you
providing a reasoned and informed debate within your work.
Furthermore, you should provide evidence that you are able to
make sound judgements and convincing arguments using data
and concepts. Sound, valid conclusions are necessary and must
be derived from the content of your work. There should be no
new information presented within your conclusion. Where
relevant, alternative solutions and recommendations may be
proposed.
18. 4. Practical Application and Deployment
You should be able to demonstrate how the subject-related
concepts and ideas relate to real world situations or a particular
context. How do they work in practice? You will deploy
models, methods, techniques, and/or theories, in that context, to
assess current situations, perhaps to formulate plans or
solutions to solve problems, some of which may be innovative
and creative. This is likely to involve, for instance, the use of
real world examples and cases, the application of a model
within an organisation and/or benchmarking one organisation
against others based on stated criteria. You should show
awareness of the limitations of concepts and theories when
applied in particular contexts.
5. Skills for Professional Practice
Your work must provide evidence of the attributes expected in
professional practice. This includes demonstrating your
individual initiative and/or collaborative working. You must
communicate effectively in a suitable format, which may be
written and/or oral, for example, essay, management report,
presentation. Work should be coherent and well structured in
presentation and organisation.
Specific to this assignment: Report format normally includes
the following sections: Executive Summary, Introduction, Main
Findings, Conclusions, Recommendations, References and
Appendices. Your report should be written in a suitable
academic writing style i.e. using the third person.
