Important note: Personal Essays DO NOT incorporate any type of research from the WebText or outside sources. If you have written
a Personal Essay in a previous course, please reach out to your professor to see if you can re-use it. You are not permitted to use ANY

GUIDELINES
FOR
WRITING
SUMMARIES
Writing a summary of a text (a book, an article, a chapter, or a section of section of a book, article or
chapter) is a way to evidence that you have read and understood the content of the text, and
understanding the content of a text is a necessary first step to using that content to inform your
understanding of a topic or issue or to using it to develop your own ideas about a topic or issue.
In this course, you will be asked to write summaries that evidence a solid understanding of texts and
to use specific content from these to do your own thinking—to think about your own experience in
school or the schooling in which you have participated. The purpose of these “Guidelines for
Summaries” is to provide you with general information about writing summaries and the specific
requirements for writing the summaries you must produce to complete Writing Assignments #1, #2,
#3, and #4 for this course. Please study these guidelines and insure you understand everything that
is stated here. If there is anything that is not clear, make sure you ask the instructor for
clarification in class or during office hours.
Writing an effective summary will require you to engage in both careful reading and careful writing.
While there is no one way to write a summary, an effective summary should offer a reader who has
not had the opportunity to read the text that is being summarized a clear and accurate presentation of
the main point or argument of the text (the most important thing the author is trying to communicate
through the text) and the major points presented to support or exemplify the main point or argument.
After reading an effective summary, a reader should have a clear understanding of the content of the
summarized text, and for the purposes of this course your instructor should clearly see that you
understood the main points/arguments of the article and its overall content;; it should be clear to a
reader that you could use your understanding of the text to begin to do your own thinking with or
about the text. Understanding a text well enough to be able to think with or about it does not mean
you agree with the points or arguments in the text;; it simply means you can use your understanding of
the text to guide or inform your own thinking, or to effectively argue against the text if you disagree
with ...

Eng 101 e3 The Summary + Response” ESSAY Writing based on read.docx
Eng 101
e3 The “Summary + Response” ESSAY: Writing based on reading about language, culture & identity
The summary+response essay requires you to use and engage with other written materials - that is, ideas and quotations from other writers - in an essay.
Articles: Tan, "Mother Tongue" (127-132)
In your essay, you will (A) present the writer's ideas accurately and fairly, using your skills in summarizing, paraphrasing, and using quotations. And you will (B) present a thoughtful response, in which you take a stand on the major issue of the original.
You don't need additional information from the internet and you don't need to look for any more sources. If you do want to use another source, you need to clear it with your instructor.
Preliminary Steps
1. Read, re-read, annotate the article you chose.
2. Complete the "Responding to Writing" worksheet to help clarify and organize your thoughts on the issues.
3. Be able to summarize and paraphrase the material accurately.
A Possible Outline for Your Essay
Your essay might be organized something like this, in which each of the first-level bullets would be one or more ¶s:
• Open: Introduce the issues in a general way, possibly without mentioning the article/author yet.
• Introduce & briefly summarize the main article:
· Summarize the main, relevant ideas of the article and include important details. (Include the author's full name and title of the article.)
· Note that you will also refer to and summarize and quote from the article in the response section of the essay, so you don't need to provide a complete, detailed summary here.
• Respond:
· You will probably use some of the ideas you generated in the "Responding to Writing" worksheet.
· Discuss and offer some analysis of the issues raised in the article, and possibly comment on how the author has presented them, how convincing her/his evidence is, and so on.
· Present your own perspectives, thoughts, and perhaps feelings on the issues. You might describe your own life experiences or experiences of friends, as they relate to the issues in question.
· In this response section you need to be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them (with logic, with illustrative examples, maybe with more quotes from the article).
· If you wish, you can bring in a couple of ideas/quotes from one or two of the additional articles to supplement or support your points.
· This section should be presented in logically organized, focused paragraphs.
• Close: Wrap up the essay in a meaningful and satisfying way.
Think it through!
Don't just grab onto the first thought that comes to you, an initial and superficial reaction. Consider your thoughts and feelings, think hard about the topic and what you have read about it, and form a coherent and thoughtful response.
In a thoughtful response, you don't need to solve or resolve the problem or the issue. You don't have to try to have the "last word" on the topic. Saying that it's troubling (or not) or an im ...

Expectations of Academic Writing
· It is formal.
· It has accurate grammar and vocabulary. It uses complete sentences.
· It is not usually a 5 paragraph essay!
· It follows all of the rules of formatting, such as margins, font, indented paragraphs, and page numbers.
· It does not require long, complicated sentences.

· It requires your own voice and your own thinking.
· It presents your argument directly and provides clear evidence.
· Different kinds of essays (genres) have different expectations.

· Each discipline has its own style and expectations.
What to avoid:
First person (I/me/my) unless you are writing a personal response.
Second person (you/your)
Contractions (don’t/can’t/won’t, he’s, they’re…)
Slang and informal expressions
Passive voice (“The problem was started by activists.”)
Sample of academic writing
Non-indigenous environmental activists are recognizing the rightful place of First Nations at the forefront of environmental fights. As activist Dave Ages (Unist'ot'en Camp) has said, expressing why non-indigenous activists are rallying behind First Nations leadership, these environmental fights are happening in First Nations territories, but their fights are all of our fights (2014). While perhaps these allegiances were in the past partially instrumental, there is now a deep intertwining of First Nations' indigenous rights struggles and environmental fights in BC. This is partially due the decades of intimate sharing of struggle and growing incorporation of indigenous rights within the environmentalist agendas. It is also at least as much due to learned strategies of First Nations leaders for maintaining their leadership of these collaborations by requiring participating NGOs and individual activists to commit to indigenous leadership as a precondition for participation (Frost, 2018). These strategies are exemplified by Unist'ot'en Camp (Huson & Toghestiy (Wet'suwet'en), 2014), the Lelu Island occupation (Brown, (Tsim-shian), 2016), the Burnaby Mountain WatchHouse in southern BC (George, (Tsleil-waututh), 2018) as well as the stance held by the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition in relationship to their collaboration with various Gitxsan houses (McPhail, 2015). Progress has been made in both attitudes of environmentalists toward First Nations and institutional structures for indigenous leadership, but there still exist tensions in many instances between some environmentalists' and First Nations' objectives. These protocols of sovereignty recognition serve to both structurally maintain First Nations leadership and educate environmentalists on environmental justice and indigenous rights.

· Assessment of essays
All essays returned to you will have a marking matrix attached with comments. These are meant to be constructive and are made to point out errors and areas where improvements could be made. The comments will explain why you got the mark you did. They are, therefore, usually ‘critical’. You should consider these comments carefully, and try to understand why they were made. If you do not see the point, or want further comment, please take this matter up with whoever marked your essay, preferably via the course coordinator A/Prof Lara Lamb.
The following points will be noted particularly in marking essays:
1. Relevance to the topic set.
2. Organisation and effectiveness of argument, and proper use of anthropological concepts and principles as outlined during the course of your reading.
3. Evidence of reading outside the set texts and accuracy of facts presented in the essay.
4. Originality – careful and critical thought about the topic, and use of illustrative material from independent reading and also, to some extent, from observation and experience.
5. Accuracy and clarity of written English, including grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Overall legibility and general setting out will be noted, especially of essay structure and referencing.
How to write an essay/presentation
Do not go over the word limit. This is set specifically to help you develop a sharp and concise style. Going under the word limit is preferable to ‘padding out’ your answer with vagaries or ‘waffle’ to reach the word limit.
Do not use value judgements of subjective terminology such as: primitive, backward, surprisingly advanced, superior or developed. You must be objective and indicate clearly what you mean by your terms.
Writing an essay is a gradual process; the final version of an essay should have been developed over several drafts, prepared as you explore the topic and compile notes from reading material.
You will usually need to do some reading before you can grasp the significance of the set topic. Begin with the suggested references in your book of reading and, as you read, keep a copy of the actual wording of the topic/question in view. Initial reading will enable you to:
1. Recognise the implications underlying the actual wording of the topic.
2. Understand key ideas and terms.
3. Identify all parts of the set question.
After some preliminary reading, when you feel you are beginning to grasp the topic, draft an outline plan for your essay. This will involve drawing up headings for each major section of your essay, writing a statement, in .

Chapter Summary Rubric Your assignment is to write a summary ove
Chapter Summary Rubric
Your assignment is to write a summary over one chapter from the book Why We Get Sick: the new science of Darwinian Medicine by R. Neese and G.Williams
Due Date
Sunday evenings at or before 6pm
Summary Requirements
A good summary accurately describes the main point(s) and important details of the chapter. Look at the section headings and use them to organize your summary.
In order to be accurate and concise the writer must be thoroughly familiar with the original work. If too long, a summary may be paraphrasing the original work, but if too short, important details may be left out. Paraphrasing is not allowed nor is using quotations from the text itself. Think 500 words, no more.
Hints
· Read and reread chapter as many times as necessary to gain a full understanding of the chapter.
· Opinions are unnecessary. For example, “I thought the part about radioactivity was really interesting” is largely irrelevant.
· Always name the authors and chapter title in the introductory paragraph, usually in the first sentence. From then on refer to authors by last name.
· Always use present tense to discuss the chapter and facts from the chapter.

Quick Reference List for APA Formatting
1. When there are only two authors always list both. When you reference them in text, use Jones and Jones (2005). When you reference them at the end of your sentence you use "&" (Jones & Jones, 2005).
2. When you list a group of authors in a reference, the first time you use them list all authors unless there are more than six authors e.g. (Jones, Smith, Olson, & Johnson, 2005) The next time you reference them you can use (Jones et al., 2005).
3. Don’t reference every sentence in a paragraph with the same source. Begin your paragraph with Smith and Jones (2005) found…. Until you introduce another source or switch paragraphs it is understood the information is coming from that source.
4. When you reference authors in a sentence such as; Jones and Jones (2005) found ….don't put a comma after or before the date. Use a comma after the date if it is grammatically correct. For example; According to Smith (2003), recent findings have disputed…
5. If you are speaking from your personal experience or stating an opinion or belief, make it clear to the reader that you are the source of information. Professionally speaking, …. Personal experiences have been…
6. References at the end of your post and papers need to be alphabetized.
7. When you summarize an article, as you will need to do for assignments, or when you are citing the literature, do not state "in an article read", "the article I found on …." "the book titled …" It is understood you have read the material, don't tell your readers you have read it. Instead tell the readers what you have found, e.g. Jones and Smith (2003) have identified key elements in a successful therapeutic relationship.
8. Avoid direct quotes in your work. I want to hear what you have to say about the information. Graduate school is the time for you to develop your professional voice and become the expert on a topic. We can all go to the source of information, especially our text books and assigned reading, to read what has been said. Instead, I want to see how you synthesize and apply the material that you have read so I don't want to see direct quotes in your work. Very few things are so important that they need to be quoted verbatim. Give us your take on the information
9. Before you can use an acronym the proper name must be used first followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. The American Counseling Association (ACA) is the leading authority in…. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a common therapy for the treatment of …..Not all readers will know what you are referring to if you only use the acronym.
10. Proof Proof and Proof your work some more. Make sure you are turning in profession.

REL 223 - Religions of the World: East and West
Journal Guidelines and Rubric
Guidelines
The journal is to be an example of the student’s ability to write and analyze the material he or she is
reading. An attempt should be made to integrate material from the myriad of books and notes in this
course.
Journal entries should be made for each of the seven major world religions considered. Your journal
should contain complete sentences and be grammatically correct. While you are reading, write down what
goes on in your head in "stream of consciousness" style in the margins of your book, in a notebook, or in
a computer file. You will be making a record of images, associations, feelings, thoughts, judgments, etc.
You will probably find that the record contains:
Questions that you ask yourself about the narrative and events as you read (answer these
yourself when you can).
Memories from your own experiences provoked by the reading.
Guesses about how the text might proceed and why.
Reflections on striking moments and ideas in the book.
Comparisons between how you behave and how the author describes actions and behavior.
Thoughts and feelings about content.
Comments on how the story is being told. For example, write any words and phrases that make
an impression on you, or motifs/themes which you notice the author using.
Connections to other texts, ideas, and courses.
A journal entry consists of two parts:
1. The first part is a direct quotation of the part you noted from the text, copied word for word,
and enclosed in quotation marks. Be sure to include the author's last name and the page number
of the quotation in parentheses after the quotation. MLA format requires that you use the last
name, a space, and then the number, e.g., (Ludwig 89).
2. The second part of the journal entry is a paragraph that explains why you found the passage
to be important or interesting. Sometimes students ask questions about the reading, or they
explain it, or relate to it in some way. Whatever you do, do not simply summarize the contents
of the passage. Instead, go beyond it somehow, analyze it, offer thoughts about why it seems
important to you or to others. In essence, by writing about the importance of the passage, you will
give it meaning.
It is also helpful to explain what is going on in the text at the time of the passage (the context). Some
students like to write (1) what is happening in the story, (2) what the passage says, and (3) why the
passage is important or interesting. This structure is not necessary, but sometimes it helps you organize
your responses.
The quality of your thinking and the energy with which you attempt to analyze your reading are the most
important aspects of this assignment!

Eng 101
e3 The “Summary + Response” ESSAY: Writing based on reading about language, culture & identity
The summary+response essay requires you to use and engage with other written materials - that is, ideas and quotations from other writers - in an essay.
Articles: Tan, "Mother Tongue" (127-132)
In your essay, you will (A) present the writer's ideas accurately and fairly, using your skills in summarizing, paraphrasing, and using quotations. And you will (B) present a thoughtful response, in which you take a stand on the major issue of the original.
You don't need additional information from the internet and you don't need to look for any more sources. If you do want to use another source, you need to clear it with your instructor.
Preliminary Steps
1. Read, re-read, annotate the article you chose.
2. Complete the "Responding to Writing" worksheet to help clarify and organize your thoughts on the issues.
3. Be able to summarize and paraphrase the material accurately.
A Possible Outline for Your Essay
Your essay might be organized something like this, in which each of the first-level bullets would be one or more ¶s:
• Open: Introduce the issues in a general way, possibly without mentioning the article/author yet.
• Introduce & briefly summarize the main article:
· Summarize the main, relevant ideas of the article and include important details. (Include the author's full name and title of the article.)
· Note that you will also refer to and summarize and quote from the article in the response section of the essay, so you don't need to provide a complete, detailed summary here.
• Respond:
· You will probably use some of the ideas you generated in the "Responding to Writing" worksheet.
· Discuss and offer some analysis of the issues raised in the article, and possibly comment on how the author has presented them, how convincing her/his evidence is, and so on.
· Present your own perspectives, thoughts, and perhaps feelings on the issues. You might describe your own life experiences or experiences of friends, as they relate to the issues in question.
· In this response section you need to be sure to explain your ideas clearly and support them (with logic, with illustrative examples, maybe with more quotes from the article).
· If you wish, you can bring in a couple of ideas/quotes from one or two of the additional articles to supplement or support your points.
· This section should be presented in logically organized, focused paragraphs.
• Close: Wrap up the essay in a meaningful and satisfying way.
Think it through!
Don't just grab onto the first thought that comes to you, an initial and superficial reaction. Consider your thoughts and feelings, think hard about the topic and what you have read about it, and form a coherent and thoughtful response.
In a thoughtful response, you don't need to solve or resolve the problem or the issue. You don't have to try to have the "last word" on the topic. Saying that it's troubling (or not) or an im ...

Sample of academic writing
Non-indigenous environmental activists are recognizing the rightful place of First Nations at the forefront of environmental fights. As activist Dave Ages (Unist'ot'en Camp) has said, expressing why non-indigenous activists are rallying behind First Nations leadership, these environmental fights are happening in First Nations territories, but their fights are all of our fights (2014). While perhaps these allegiances were in the past partially instrumental, there is now a deep intertwining of First Nations' indigenous rights struggles and environmental fights in BC. This is partially due the decades of intimate sharing of struggle and growing incorporation of indigenous rights within the environmentalist agendas. It is also at least as much due to learned strategies of First Nations leaders for maintaining their leadership of these collaborations by requiring participating NGOs and individual activists to commit to indigenous leadership as a precondition for participation (Frost, 2018). These strategies are exemplified by Unist'ot'en Camp (Huson & Toghestiy (Wet'suwet'en), 2014), the Lelu Island occupation (Brown, (Tsim-shian), 2016), the Burnaby Mountain WatchHouse in southern BC (George, (Tsleil-waututh), 2018) as well as the stance held by the Skeena Watershed Conservation Coalition in relationship to their collaboration with various Gitxsan houses (McPhail, 2015). Progress has been made in both attitudes of environmentalists toward First Nations and institutional structures for indigenous leadership, but there still exist tensions in many instances between some environmentalists' and First Nations' objectives. These protocols of sovereignty recognition serve to both structurally maintain First Nations leadership and educate environmentalists on environmental justice and indigenous rights.

· Assessment of essays
All essays returned to you will have a marking matrix attached with comments. These are meant to be constructive and are made to point out errors and areas where improvements could be made. The comments will explain why you got the mark you did. They are, therefore, usually ‘critical’. You should consider these comments carefully, and try to understand why they were made. If you do not see the point, or want further comment, please take this matter up with whoever marked your essay, preferably via the course coordinator A/Prof Lara Lamb.
The following points will be noted particularly in marking essays:
1. Relevance to the topic set.
2. Organisation and effectiveness of argument, and proper use of anthropological concepts and principles as outlined during the course of your reading.
3. Evidence of reading outside the set texts and accuracy of facts presented in the essay.
4. Originality – careful and critical thought about the topic, and use of illustrative material from independent reading and also, to some extent, from observation and experience.
5. Accuracy and clarity of written English, including grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Overall legibility and general setting out will be noted, especially of essay structure and referencing.
How to write an essay/presentation
Do not go over the word limit. This is set specifically to help you develop a sharp and concise style. Going under the word limit is preferable to ‘padding out’ your answer with vagaries or ‘waffle’ to reach the word limit.
Do not use value judgements of subjective terminology such as: primitive, backward, surprisingly advanced, superior or developed. You must be objective and indicate clearly what you mean by your terms.
Writing an essay is a gradual process; the final version of an essay should have been developed over several drafts, prepared as you explore the topic and compile notes from reading material.
You will usually need to do some reading before you can grasp the significance of the set topic. Begin with the suggested references in your book of reading and, as you read, keep a copy of the actual wording of the topic/question in view. Initial reading will enable you to:
1. Recognise the implications underlying the actual wording of the topic.
2. Understand key ideas and terms.
3. Identify all parts of the set question.
After some preliminary reading, when you feel you are beginning to grasp the topic, draft an outline plan for your essay. This will involve drawing up headings for each major section of your essay, writing a statement, in .

Chapter Summary Rubric
Your assignment is to write a summary over one chapter from the book Why We Get Sick: the new science of Darwinian Medicine by R. Neese and G.Williams
Due Date
Sunday evenings at or before 6pm
Summary Requirements
A good summary accurately describes the main point(s) and important details of the chapter. Look at the section headings and use them to organize your summary.
In order to be accurate and concise the writer must be thoroughly familiar with the original work. If too long, a summary may be paraphrasing the original work, but if too short, important details may be left out. Paraphrasing is not allowed nor is using quotations from the text itself. Think 500 words, no more.
Hints
· Read and reread chapter as many times as necessary to gain a full understanding of the chapter.
· Opinions are unnecessary. For example, “I thought the part about radioactivity was really interesting” is largely irrelevant.
· Always name the authors and chapter title in the introductory paragraph, usually in the first sentence. From then on refer to authors by last name.
· Always use present tense to discuss the chapter and facts from the chapter.
· When referring to the chapter always capitalize the title and place it in quotation marks. Do not use italics.
· In summarizing, identify the main ideas and supporting information.
· Is the main idea conjecture or is there direct evidence for it from the literature?
· How many ideas are presented in the chapter, are all of these present in your summary.
· If examples are given supporting the author’s hypotheses or conjecture, are they mentioned in your summary?
· Explain what the examples illustrate.
· Identify the recurring theme in the chapters. All told, is the author’s thesis credible? Is the evidence or conjecture sufficient to support their thesis.
· If you had to summarize what you read to someone in your English class, what points would you mention and what evidence/conjecture would you describe?
· If you had to summarize what was covered in the chapter to your Grandmother, what points would you highlight and what evidence/conjecture would you mention?
· The premise, the theses and hypotheses, the evidence all comes from the life sciences. Demonstrate to your reader that you are a biologist capable of identifying the critical elements of the author’s narrative.

Quick Reference List for APA Formatting
1. When there are only two authors always list both. When you reference them in text, use Jones and Jones (2005). When you reference them at the end of your sentence you use "&" (Jones & Jones, 2005).
2. When you list a group of authors in a reference, the first time you use them list all authors unless there are more than six authors e.g. (Jones, Smith, Olson, & Johnson, 2005) The next time you reference them you can use (Jones et al., 2005).
3. Don’t reference every sentence in a paragraph with the same source. Begin your paragraph with Smith and Jones (2005) found…. Until you introduce another source or switch paragraphs it is understood the information is coming from that source.
4. When you reference authors in a sentence such as; Jones and Jones (2005) found ….don't put a comma after or before the date. Use a comma after the date if it is grammatically correct. For example; According to Smith (2003), recent findings have disputed…
5. If you are speaking from your personal experience or stating an opinion or belief, make it clear to the reader that you are the source of information. Professionally speaking, …. Personal experiences have been…
6. References at the end of your post and papers need to be alphabetized.
7. When you summarize an article, as you will need to do for assignments, or when you are citing the literature, do not state "in an article read", "the article I found on …." "the book titled …" It is understood you have read the material, don't tell your readers you have read it. Instead tell the readers what you have found, e.g. Jones and Smith (2003) have identified key elements in a successful therapeutic relationship.
8. Avoid direct quotes in your work. I want to hear what you have to say about the information. Graduate school is the time for you to develop your professional voice and become the expert on a topic. We can all go to the source of information, especially our text books and assigned reading, to read what has been said. Instead, I want to see how you synthesize and apply the material that you have read so I don't want to see direct quotes in your work. Very few things are so important that they need to be quoted verbatim. Give us your take on the information
9. Before you can use an acronym the proper name must be used first followed by the abbreviation in parentheses. The American Counseling Association (ACA) is the leading authority in…. Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT) is a common therapy for the treatment of …..Not all readers will know what you are referring to if you only use the acronym.
10. Proof Proof and Proof your work some more. Make sure you are turning in profession.

Journal Guidelines and Rubric
Guidelines
The journal is to be an example of the student’s ability to write and analyze the material he or she is
reading. An attempt should be made to integrate material from the myriad of books and notes in this
course.
Journal entries should be made for each of the seven major world religions considered. Your journal
should contain complete sentences and be grammatically correct. While you are reading, write down what
goes on in your head in "stream of consciousness" style in the margins of your book, in a notebook, or in
a computer file. You will be making a record of images, associations, feelings, thoughts, judgments, etc.
You will probably find that the record contains:
Questions that you ask yourself about the narrative and events as you read (answer these
yourself when you can).
Memories from your own experiences provoked by the reading.
Guesses about how the text might proceed and why.
Reflections on striking moments and ideas in the book.
Comparisons between how you behave and how the author describes actions and behavior.
Thoughts and feelings about content.
Comments on how the story is being told. For example, write any words and phrases that make
an impression on you, or motifs/themes which you notice the author using.
Connections to other texts, ideas, and courses.
A journal entry consists of two parts:
1. The first part is a direct quotation of the part you noted from the text, copied word for word,
and enclosed in quotation marks. Be sure to include the author's last name and the page number
of the quotation in parentheses after the quotation. MLA format requires that you use the last
name, a space, and then the number, e.g., (Ludwig 89).
2. The second part of the journal entry is a paragraph that explains why you found the passage
to be important or interesting. Sometimes students ask questions about the reading, or they
explain it, or relate to it in some way. Whatever you do, do not simply summarize the contents
of the passage. Instead, go beyond it somehow, analyze it, offer thoughts about why it seems
important to you or to others. In essence, by writing about the importance of the passage, you will
give it meaning.
It is also helpful to explain what is going on in the text at the time of the passage (the context). Some
students like to write (1) what is happening in the story, (2) what the passage says, and (3) why the
passage is important or interesting. This structure is not necessary, but sometimes it helps you organize
your responses.
The quality of your thinking and the energy with which you attempt to analyze your reading are the most
important aspects of this assignment!

Leila is a police officer. She is out of uniform and knocked on Dan's front door of his house and asked if she could enter to enforce a warrant she had. The warrant was a search warrant issued by a magistrate at the Lawrence District Court. His name is Mark McCale, a retired police officer for the state police department in Lawrence. The warrant indicated that "the first floor of Dan's house will be searched for a gun used in connection with a robbery and some jewelry, which was stolen." While looking in Dan's house, Officer Leila smelled what she thought to be gun powder emanating from the second floor. Officer Leila immediately walked upstairs and found a gun at the tops of the stairs. She went to confiscate the gun and while doing so noticed a note attached to the gun with an address on it. Later that afternoon police officers went to the address of the house listed on the note of the gun. Jewelry was found at this address and collected by the police officers. The address was a known address for stolen jewelry to be pawned. While at Dan's house, Dan told Officer Leila that, "I do not know what you are here for, because I did not rob Terri Grubb's jewelry store." Officer Leila asked Dan to go to the police station and Dan agreed. As they walked into the police station, Magistrate McCale yelled, "is that the person who robbed Terri Grubb's jewelry store?!" Dan replied, "I told Officer Leila already, I did not rob Terri Grubb's jewelry store."

Write an observation essay that explains the unique significance.docx
Write an
observation essay
that explains the unique significance of a particular person or place within a larger community. Describe the person or place through vivid description, narration, dialogue and sensory details. Help others outside of your community understand why the person or place is important to the community.
Assignment
Observation
, as the CEL describes it, requires writers to "study their subjects and learn something by seeing them in a particular way" (93). Observation essays do more than just report facts: they also "find the hidden meaning, the significant issues, and the important aspects of a particular subject" (93).
Your purpose in this Observation Essay is to
convey the significance of a particular person or place in your community through details that show how the subject "fits" within the community's priorities and values
. Your descriptions and details should make it easy for someone unfamiliar with your community to understand why the person or place you chose is relevant and significant to the community.
*Note: although this essay is intended to be based in recent, firsthand observations, you may write from recent memories instead if you are restricted in travel and mobility during the COVID pandemic. If you are writing from memories, try to recreate scenes and descriptions as though you are seeing them again for the first time.
In order to achieve this purpose, you need to:
Observe and Take field notes. Begin with observing the person or place and writing down notes about what you see, hear, and sense. Plan to observe this person or place 2-3 times. In your notes, record specific actions that you notice, dialogue you overhear, interactions you have with other people, and any important details about the scene that might help you SHOW its significance through vivid detail and narration.
Describe the person or place through actions, details, and dialogue that offer
insight
into why this person or place has unique
significance
as an important part of the community.
Explain context and background that shows how the person or place matters within the larger community. Context might include history, factual information, anecdotes, geographical information, or other details that help an audience understand the person or place as part of something bigger than themselves/itself.
Follow a carefully planned organizational structure that gives priority to specific details, themes, and values. Your final draft should be organized to show the significance of the person or place and should not simply list details in the order you observed them.
Offer a strong introduction that hooks readers with vivid details or action and focuses attention on the significance of the subject. Provide a strong conclusion that
As you look back over your observations and notes, remember that your essay should do more than simply relate details without any larger significance. Your observation of the person or place should .

A Survey of Techniques for Maximizing LLM Performance
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
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.
