Beasts of No Nation Essay
Timeline:
Week of April 10-13: Watch Beasts of No Nation during class periods.
Mon. April 17: First Draft of Film Paper Due
Week of April 17-20 : One-on-One conferences about the
paper.
Tues. April 25: Final Draft of Film Essay due in D2L dropbox.
Directions:
Choose ONE of the following questions and write a well-planned out, coherent essay that argues a point that you want to make about the movie.
1. How does the film address the question of what “family” means?
2. How does the film address the idea of putting one’s trust in God?
3. How does the film show how a young child can be recruited into the military?
4. How does the film treat the subject of resistance against an unjust military government?
Just a reminder of what a good essay consists of, the essay should contain:
1. A nice introductory paragraph that “leads in” to your thesis statement. Your thesis statement should not be the first sentence of the essay.
2. A clear and precise thesis statement that will alert the reader what the essay is going to be about.
3. A good, strong topic sentence in each paragraph, usually the first sentence of the paragraph.
4. Enough development in each paragraph to fully support the main point (aka topic sentence).
5. A conclusion that either summarizes the main points of the essay or emphasizes the very important point(s).
I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND VISITING A WEBSITE LIKE WIKIPEDIA OR SPARKNOTES. I ESPECIALLY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THAT STUDENTS VISIT ANY WEBSITE WHERE THEY CAN PURCHASE PAPER WITH A CREDIT CARD. Students who visit these websites looking for ideas tend to accidentally plagiarize the sites in their papers. Accidental plagiarism is still plagiarism and will receive the same zero that plagiarizing on purpose gets.
WHAT I EXPECT FROM THIS ESSAY
1. I want this essay to be an analysis of The Hunger Games. I DO NOT WANT A PLOT SUMMARY. Notice that every sample question that I provided for you above required some sort of deep thinking and analysis. Your essay should show such analytical ability.
2. Your paper should be foregrounded in LOGOS, not ethos or pathos. You may use some ethos or pathos if it helps you to make your point, but the dominant mode of persuasion that you should be using in this paper is logos.
3. DO NOT USE PURE SPECULATION! Always back your assertions up with evidence from the movie.
4. Use specific details. Do not be vague.
RUBRIC

Writing Assignment Illustration Essay You are required to s.docx
Writing Assignment: Illustration Essay
You are required to submit the FINAL copy of this assignment, but you may first submit an optional
DRAFT. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can inform your revision. You should
always avoid focusing solely on the grader’s DRAFT feedback; use the feedback as a supplement to the
course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to revise beyond what the DRAFT grader
specifically notes.
In short, an illustration essay will use clear, interesting examples to show, explain, and
support a thesis statement (remember, your thesis is your main argument, or the main
point you’re trying to make). One key to an effective illustration essay is to use enough
details and specific examples to make your point effectively. In other words, descriptive
writing is key.
You have several options for this assignment, so you will need to choose one:
Illustrate the ideal work environment. If everything was perfect at work, what would
it be like? Describe everything in this environment—perhaps from the dispositions of
your coworkers and supervisors to what clothes you wear to work.
Illustrate what it means to be a “true friend.” What does being a “true friend” mean
to you? What “true friends” have you had, and how do their actions coincide with
being your definition of a “true friend?”
Illustrate how your favorite team or player received their current standing or
ranking. How did the team or player do in the most recent season? What qualities did
this team or player demonstrate to earn this ranking?
Look at your favorite poem or short story, and use illustration to explain what
makes it your favorite. Do you enjoy the author’s language? Do you enjoy the
storyline? What else do you enjoy that makes it your favorite?
Illustrate the purpose of props on the set of your favorite media production. What
props are there? Why are they important?
Illustrate how to create your favorite dish. What steps are required to create this
dish? Be sure that you take your audience through this process step by step!
Illustrate how to play your favorite game. What steps and/or actions are necessary
to play this game? Take your readers through the motions, step by step.
The questions above are designed to help you begin brainstorming ideas; however, you are
free to develop your own brainstorming questions and use them to develop your essay.
Since the purpose of this essay is to illustrate, you should have enough specific details and
examples for your essay to be considered an illustration essay.
Many illustrations may come from your personal experiences. However, even personal
experiences should be supported by research in college essays. Thus, you must cite at least
one credible1 source to earn maximum credit for this essay. This resource from the course

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.
