PARAGRAPH WRITING: SEQUENCE (PROCESS)
English language learners: This is a four-slide presentation to help you revisit information on paragraph writing, so you can build proper sentences. (Created by Rita Zuba Prokopetz / G&R Languages – August, 2013).
One of the most common and important uses of technical writing is to provide instructions, those step-by-step explanations of how to assemble, operate, repair, or do routine maintenance on something. Although they may seems intuitive and simple to write, instructions are some of the worst-written documents you can find. Most of us have probably had many infuriating experiences with badly written instructions. It can be badly misinterpreted by students or persons. But they are still important. An easy way for all to understand an instruction is for a teacher to differentiate orally an instruction, from a written instruction, so students will not be confused.

Thesis Statements
Any paper you write in college will require a thesis statement in some form. These are general
expectations and guidelines for writing and revising a strong thesis.
Basics
Roles of a Thesis: A thesis (1) answers a question, (2) makes an argument, and (3) presents a
road map for the rest of your paper.
Thesis Components: A thesis is comprised of a topic and a comment on the topic and answers
the questions: What? Why? How?
Generally, the comment portion is your argument; however, if a prompt is simply expository or
analytical, you can still give a comment on how you are explaining or analyzing the topic. Since
most college essays are argumentative in nature, we will focus on constructing analytical
theses.
Thesis Conventions: The thesis typically appears at the end of your first paragraph
(introduction), is 1-3 sentences long, and avoids first person (unless the writer is instructed
otherwise).
Examples with Notes
1) In the “Ethics of Living Jim Crow,” Richard Wright fights segregation [what] by using
irony [how] to show that Jim Crow’s “ethics” are unethical [why].
a. Topic: Richard Wright’s “Ethics of Living with Jim Crow”…
b. Comment: …shows Jim Crow “ethics” are unethical.
2) The film Rebel without a Cause reflects the anxieties surrounding changing family values
in 1950s America [what]. The main conflicts are set against the “dysfunctional” family lives of
the characters Jim, Judy, and Plato [how] to show the danger of these degrading values and a
desire to return to a traditional family structure [why].
a. Topic: Rebel without a Cause…
b. Comment: …reflects anxieties about changing family values.
3) Because of the change in demographics and population distribution across the United
States (how), the Electoral College no longer realizes its original intention of ensuring fair
representation (why) and should be abandoned or altered to give more power to the popular
vote (what).
a. Topic: The Electoral College…
b. Comment: …should be abandoned.
For all three examples above, notice that the how and why elements make the paper more
specific and argumentative than if the writer had just introduced the topic to be discussed.
Build Your Thesis
Working Thesis: Your working thesis is your tentative topic plus your comment on that topic.
Example: The Electoral College should be abandoned.
Your Topic: ______________________________________________________________________
Comment: ______________________________________________________________________
Working thesis: __________________________________________________________________
Revised Thesis: Your revised thesis is a more complex, specific version of your working thesis
and considers the questions why and how.
Example: Because of the change in demographics and population distribution, the Electoral
College no longer realizes its original intention of ensuring fai ...

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
