Rubric For The Evaluation Of “Studying Religion” Paper CRITERIA NEEDS IMPROVEMENT Minimum Points SATISFACTORY Medium Points EXCEPTIONAL Maximum Points CONTENT (6 Points) Write a 750- to 1,050-word paper that addresses the following topics: · What is essential (in the practices and beliefs) for a tradition to be called a religion? · Illustrate your points by referring to the commonalities of the three Western religions. · How do different fields of study approach religion? · What are some critical issues in the academic study of religion? The writer does not demonstrate cursory understanding of subject matter, and the purpose of the paper is not stated. The objective, therefore, is not addressed and supporting materials are not correctly referenced. 0 to 2.4 points The writer demonstrates limited understanding of the subject matter in that theories are not well connected to a practical experience or appropriate examples, though the attempt to research the topic is evident, and materials are correctly referenced. 2.5 to 5.4 points The writer demonstrates an understanding of the subject matter by clearly stating the objective of the paper and links theories to practical experience. The paper includes relevant material that is correctly referenced, and this material fulfills the objective of the paper. 5.5 to 7 points Comments on Content ? of 7 points You have fulfilled all/most/some of the objectives of the assignment with this ___ word paper. You had a section on … ORGANIZATION ( 2 Points) Paragraphs do not focus around a central point, and concepts are disjointedly introduced or poorly defended (i.e., stream of consciousness). The writer struggles with limited vocabulary and has difficulty conveying meaning such that only the broadest, most general messages are presented. There is no introduction or conclusion. 0 to .5 points Topics/content could be organized in a more logical manner. Transitions from one idea to the next are often disconnected and uneven. The introduction does not give clear direction and the conclusion does not restate the main points and show how they explain the big idea. Some words, transitional phrases, and conjunctions are overused. Ideas may be overstated, and sentences with limited contribution to the subject are included. .6 to 1 points The writer focuses on ideas and concepts within paragraphs, and sentences are well-connected and meaningful. Each topic logically follows the objective. The introduction clearly states the objective or ideas leading to the purpose of the paper, and a conclusion draws the ideas together. The reading audience is correctly identified, demonstrated by appropriate language usage (i.e., avoiding jargon and simplifying complex concepts appropriately). Writing is concise, in active voice, and avoids awkward transitions and overuse of conjunctions. 1.1 to 1.5 points Comments on Organization ? of 1.5 points You do/do not have a clear organizational flow.

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.

There are many of childrens books out there, but its important t.docx
There are many of children's books out there, but it's important to evaluate children's literature critically before introducing it. Suffice it to say that not all books are created equal. Students read many types of literature throughout school. To appreciate a variety of literature and to complete assignments involving these works, students need to understand how to read critically. Learn how to read literature critically to evaluate and interpret an author’s work.
In literature, readers must pay attention to plot, or the events that take place to create meaning. The plot takes place in the setting, which also adds to the meaning of the story. When reading, ask yourself how the setting adds to the different situations and important events of the story.
In most plots, characters are introduced and usually depict traits of human nature. Characters may represent only a few traits, or they may represent very complex conflicts and emotions. A character can be the narrator, or a person (or more than one person) who tells the story. The narrator or narrators will see events from a certain perspective and have attitudes toward the events and other characters. This is called point of view, and this perspective is a key issue in figuring out the meaning of the work.
Fiction will have figurative language, too, which will be used to describe and understand characters. Fiction attempts to represent reality in some way. Often, reality is represented in different ways through symbols and codes of human meaning and systems. Fiction, for example, may represent every day events and stick closely to place and time. Then again, fiction may represent moral or spiritual aspects through symbols, characters, or improbable events. Authors use fiction to offer a complex understanding of the world. As you read fiction, try to notice the differences and similarities between the world the author creates and the world you inhabit.
Critical thinking in literature also develops a keen awareness of the use of
language, not merely from the aesthetic point of view but keeping in mind today’s
world and its developments, the inevitable political point of view. Students realize that
language is not a neutral phenomenon explaining some already existing reality but
words weave layers of meanings creating and generating their own reality.
Examining Figurative Language
Figurative language, sometimes difficult to teach, can be taught easily with games. Students can learn how to analyze figurative language by middle school, whether it occurs in prose or poetry. Types of figurative language and their definitions.
Alliteration is the repetition of consonants in the first letter of words
Hyperbole is an exaggeration
Idiom means sayings or expressions that have figurative meaning
Imagery involves using one or more of the five senses (sight, touch, taste, hearing, and smell) to describe characters, places or things in literature or poems

Assignment Overview
In the assignment this week, you will write a paper (7–10 pages), including a literature review, that examines ethical behavior, diversity, and civil discourse in the context of your particular focus and specialization.
What You Need to Know
Ethical Reasoning
Morris (2016) tells us:
In fall 2016, more than twenty million students enrolled across more than four million colleges and universities in the U.S. One in four students were members of a minority group, and approximately one million were international students. These students interacted with approximately four million administrators and faculty and staff members in a diversity of settings. Most of these students will easily transition into a life of academics and social interactions. For others, insults, aggressions, and lack of inclusion are a reality; and these experiences will shape their interactions and perceptions . . . on the challenges facing the nation and world and considering the role that post-secondary education plays in improving civil discourse nationally and creating safe spaces for dialogue and personal growth. (p. 361)
Morris (2016) goes on to argue:
First, [we must] identify resources to support conversations around civil discourse, social justice, and inclusion. Could we individually and collectively in every department, college, and administrative unit resolve to make a difference—to role-model and ask our students to be kind, show compassion, be inclusive and fair, and extend a hand of friendship? Maybe our academic words, like social justice, just do not resonate. Perhaps people forget that words have power and can cause long-lasting pain or can provide encouragement. While we may study and advocate for equity, perhaps we should say that this campus and my class will discuss challenging topics; but we will be characterized by the following values: to listen, to reflect, to show compassion, to think critically, and to care about this community of learners. I know: it sounds like Robert Fulghum’s
All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten
(1988). However, sometimes simple guidelines work best. (p. 361)
Use your

Chapter 14, "Develop As an Ethical Reasoner," pages 345–365.
If you did not complete the
Blooming Park: Ethics, Diversity, and Personnel Selection
simulation last week, complete it now to begin work on the interviews relevant to your organization: P–12 education, higher education, business or corporate, or military. This activity will give you the opportunity to grapple with the ethical questions that frequently arise in professional contexts, which will be the focus of your assignment this week.
Diversity and Multiculturalism
Diversity in all organization settings can take many forms. We may consider differences across many criteria, including the following:
Ethnicity.
Ethnic identity.

Compare and Contrast Essay AssignmentA Compare and Contrast essa
Compare and Contrast Essay Assignment
A Compare and Contrast essay explores the similarities and differences between two or more items, ideas, topics, trends, works, etc. When we compare, we point out the similarities between two items, and when we contrast, we show their differences. In fact, Compare and Contrast is one of the main rhetorical strategies that writers use to develop ideas and support their arguments.
For this assignment, you will write a Compare and Contrast essay in which you will
explore the similarities and differences between two of the following topics:
1. Generation Z vs. Millennials
2. Generation Z vs. Generation X
3. How Generation Z is perceived vs How Generation Z really is according to you
The American Family Then and Now
1. Compare and Contrast the way and times in which you were raised to that of children today. Do you think that your parent’s were more strict or concerned than today’s parents? Do you think that kids today expect too much? Provide specific examples as to how kids today are being raised similarly and differently than you.
2. How has the role of the woman changed in the family? Is this change good for families? How has the emergence of women in the workforce and their becoming "bread winners" affected the family?
3. As I look at the male figures in my own family, I can see that the role of the male has changed in two generations. My grandfather, for example, has never changed a diaper or cooked a meal in fifty-two years of marriage, yet I do these two things often. In your own family, how has the role of your gender changed in the last two generations. While the changes are probably many, there are still some things that have probably stayed the same. In considering this topic, be sure to include some of the things that are similar regarding the role of your gender in your family structure.
4. More and more couples are choosing not to be married. How and why is this different from the past? Why are people not getting married? How does the affect the family?
5. Non-traditional families are becoming the new normal in the United States. Discuss and compare the traditional family and non-traditional families.
Your purpose for this essay will be to simply inform your audience on their similarities and differences, on the relative merits of the items discussed, and establish the significance of this comparison and contrast. This last point will be expressed in the thesis of your essay which will also strengthen your essay and clarify its purpose.
Process
The first thing you want to do is brainstorm everything you know about each topic, research both of them, go back and look for connections that show similarities and differences, and then develop your thesis. Remember to select only those aspects that are explicitly comparable or contrastable. After you have formulated your thesis statement, established your basis of comparison, and selected your points for discussion, you are ready to organ ...

1. Compare and Contrast the way and times in which you were raised to that of children today. Do you think that your parent’s were more strict or concerned than today’s parents? Do you think that kids today expect too much? Provide specific examples as to how kids today are being raised similarly and differently than you.
2. How has the role of the woman changed in the family? Is this change good for families? How has the emergence of women in the workforce and their becoming "bread winners" affected the family?
3. As I look at the male figures in my own family, I can see that the role of the male has changed in two generations. My grandfather, for example, has never changed a diaper or cooked a meal in fifty-two years of marriage, yet I do these two things often. In your own family, how has the role of your gender changed in the last two generations. While the changes are probably many, there are still some things that have probably stayed the same. In considering this topic, be sure to include some of the things that are similar regarding the role of your gender in your family structure.
4. More and more couples are choosing not to be married. How and why is this different from the past? Why are people not getting married? How does the affect the family?
5. Non-traditional families are becoming the new normal in the United States. Discuss and compare the traditional family and non-traditional families.
Your purpose for this essay will be to simply inform your audience on their similarities and differences, on the relative merits of the items discussed, and establish the significance of this comparison and contrast. This last point will be expressed in the thesis of your essay which will also strengthen your essay and clarify its purpose.
Process
The first thing you want to do is brainstorm everything you know about each topic, research both of them, go back and look for connections that show similarities and differences, and then develop your thesis. Remember to select only those aspects that are explicitly comparable or contrastable. After you have formulated your thesis statement, established your basis of comparison, and selected your points for discussion, you are ready to organ ...

Academic writing
Writing an annotated bibliography
Students are often required to prepare an annotated bibliography. Annotate means to ‘make a note’, and
biblio refers to ‘book’. In the 21
st
century students consult much more but still including books: e.g.
websites, journals (hardcopy and electronic), newspapers and so on. Simply stated, an annotated
bibliography is a list of sources or citations with a brief evaluative summary (annotation) about each source.
Its purpose is to describe and evaluate the source text in a way that allows the reader to decide whether or
not to read the work itself.
Terminology
Source whatever material you have used for your topic; for example,
journal articles, electronic sources, books or chapters of books
Citation gives the precise bibliographical information needed to locate
the material; it is the same as a list of references and is placed
in alphabetical order
Annotation follows each citation, and is a note that explains, describes
and/or evaluates the cited source. Annotations are normally no
more than 50 to 150 words
The purpose of an annotated bibliography
An annotated bibliography is not a simple summary of each source text. Annotations are descriptive and
critical, with the aim of informing the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources (books,
journal articles, etc) cited. In general the annotation is to inform. Specific purposes may be to:
review the literature on a particular subject
illustrate the quality of your research
provide examples of sources available
describe other items on a topic that may be of interest to the reader
explore the subject for further research.
How to write the annotation
1. Locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful
information and ideas on your topic.
2. Cite the book, article or document, using the appropriate referencing style. At CSU this is usually
the APA style. For example:
Jones, B. (2008). Colonial Paintings in NSW Art Galleries. Sydney: Angus & Robertson.
3. State the authority or background of the author.
4. Comment on the intended audience and degree of reading difficulty.
5. Explain the main purpose of the text.

Research Paper Current Perspective of Consumer Technology .docx
Research Paper: Current Perspective of Consumer Technology
Choose a current (within the last 5 years) movie or documentary about – or involving -
consumer technology. Write a synopsis of the movie. Do additional research about the
technology and the consumer that the movie addresses. Some ideas of consumer technology
can be the use of 3D Printers, medical technology, nutrition and farming technology, etc.
Be sure to answer these questions in your paper:
• When and how was the technology developed?
• Who was the technology specifically developed for and who is currently using the
technology?
• What are future expectations for this technology and how is it expected to benefit
consumers?
• What are the global applications of this technology for international consumers?
You will be using the Writing Specifics instructions listed below. You will be graded on
your originality, analysis, and reflections. Please cite the used references for this paper in the
latest APA format.
Research Paper Tips: Before writing your paper, review the APA Writing guide. Make sure to
use Times New Roman 12 pt. font, double space formatting and create your paper in MS Word
only. Be sure to proof read your work for continuity, content, grammar, punctuation and spelling
before submitting. Submit to the Dropbox by the due date specified in the course schedule. Late
work will not be accepted.
Research Specifics: Use a minimum of three credible resources for your research. Include at
least one source from our class curricula. Additional resources can be from the internet (both
articles and video links), but do not use any Wiki resources of any kind as these are not
considered credible resources.
Writing specifics: Be sure to write your paper using an Academic APA Writing style. This
means to write using a third person style, not using first person referencing. Do not use “I” or
“We” in the writing. Your paper should be a minimum of 5 pages, excluding the title and
reference pages.
Structure your paper with the following sections:
Introduction: Create a topic sentence that summarizes your topic and explains the title of the
paper. Flesh out the introduction with an overview of what your paper will cover. A good rule of
thumb is to write one sentence for each section of your paper in your introduction.
Body of your paper: You can label this section as appropriate to your research and analysis of
your findings on your topic. For instance you can label this section as Literature Review (or
Findings) of Your Topic. You can have sub-topic areas in this section as appropriate to your
topic. <See APA template for how to properly lay out your paper and the various sections.>
Next section of your paper: This area can be labeled as Conclusion. In this area you will
conclude your findings on your topic and provide suggestions for further/future research.
Last section of your paper: This is the Reference section. Any res.

Part 1
Globalization is the motivating force behind the business environment in the 21st century.
Debate the following the veracity of the following statement:
Globalization only significantly affects the CEOs of multinational corporations and high-net-worth individuals.
If your last name begins with A-M you are to argue that the statement is true. If your last name begins with N-Z you are to argue that the statement is false. Reference your reading material. Remember that any debate requires that you try to persuade the reader to your point of view. Here are a few hints for your success:
· Make sure to end your discussion with your best argument.
· Use stronger definitive word choice for your best arguments.
· Open your argument with you second best supporting point.
· Put your weakest point in the middle and choose words which are descriptive to make it more interesting.
· NEVER USE “I think”, “I believe,” “I feel” or personal pronouns of any kind. Unfortunately unless you are an expert your opinions are not very convincing.
· Be creative with your ideas to keep the reader interested in your point of view.
· Do not make this a presentation, report or quotes.
· USE YOUR OWN WORDS AND SELECT THEM PURPOSEFULLY.
The category for the argument is to be true in nature for the last name begins with A-M

Text Analysis – Current Educational Philosophy Issue Your Text a.docx
Text Analysis – Current Educational Philosophy Issue
Your Text analysis assignment is an analysis of a current philosophy of education issue. The selected text must have been constructed within the past year. The assignment requires that you make links between your chosen text, concepts, videos, and readings from the course. The purpose of the exercise is to help you to critically examine the way how text inscribe meanings that influence how we conduct education in this country. You may do this paper with a partner.
GUIDELINES
All papers must be typed and should be between 3 to 5 pages long.
Use the handout on Text Analysis while working to make sure all criteria are met. If you work with a partner, only one paper is required. The grade the paper achieves will be assigned to both students.
The format for the paper should be analytic, interpretive, and normative – do not mix up the order of the three perspectives. These perspectives must be clearly delineated in your paper in order to ensure full credit.
It is essential that you remember that this is an analysis and not a report. As such, your goal is to analyze the text not “re-describe” it. Remember! This is not a book report or a “text” description.
Restrict your analysis to a few themes of the text (preferably the main theme), focus on how the argument was constructed and how the text informs education in contemporary society. Utilize course concepts, videos, written texts, quotes, paraphrases, readings, discussion, etc. to help ground your ideas. Failure to do so will result in a weak, one-sided paper.
If you work with a partner, note where you disagree (on what and why). Not everyone shares the same position.
Refer to the "Worksheet on Reading Texts" handout below for explicit questions to guide you in the text analysis.
Worksheet For Reading Text
To really “read” a text, as opposed to just decoding it, requires the reader to construct meaning from the text. To help you in this process, you should attempt to answer at least the following questions for each text? ANALYTIC READING
1. What is the major argument (conclusions) presented in the text?
a. What is the author/speaker trying to convince you?
2. What is the evidence presented to support that claim (Premise)?
3. Is the argument implicit or explicit?
4. Is it an empirical (facts, statistics, etc.), analytical (concepts and definitions) or normative (making a moral claim) argument?
5. What type of reasoning does the author employ (inductive or deductive)?
6. How is the argument presented, i.e. what rhetorical devices are used to make the argument (narrative, metaphors, visual imagery, imagery, ideographs, euphemisms, rhetorical questions, labels, etc.)?
7. Are you able to detect any fallacies in the argument? INTERPRETIVE READING
1. When was the text made?
2. What was going on around that time that might have influenced the writing of this text or the way audiences interpreted it?
3. What might those who r ...

English as a Global LanguageAround the world, the English langua
English as a Global Language
Around the world, the English language is being used for communication among people who come from various language backgrounds—in fact, a majority of English users today grew up speaking other languages. As a result of these language contacts, the English language itself is changing its shape. While some people resist change, there is not much any individual—or a group of people—can do to reverse the trend. In fact, no one owns the language. Yet, people have various views about what English is or should be.
One way to understand different perspectives on an issue is to conduct a rhetorical analysis of texts--spoken or written.
Rhetorical analysis
is a way of analyzing what the text can tell us not only about the subject and argument strategies but also about the interrelationship among the writer, the audience, the genre and arguments as well as the cultural values of the writer and of the knowledge community.
For this writing project, write a rhetorical analysis essay (a kind of critical analysis essay) that examines an argument about English as a global language. Start by identifying a text that presents an argument about global English. The text can be of any genre—including newspaper editorial, opinion sections of newspapers or magazines, blogs, websites, advertisements, signs, posters, and so on. (Keep in mind that analyzing short texts could require more effort in interpreting and explaining the text and its context.)
Once you have identified the text for analysis, explore the text and its context by considering the following questions: What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? What kind of situation is the text responding to? Who is the writer? How does the writer establish his or her credibility? What is the writer’s attitude toward the subject? How do you know? Who is the primary audience? Who is the secondary audience? What is the major argument and how is it being built? What are some of the supporting arguments? What other arguments or perspectives are represented? What is the genre and what are some of the characteristic features that are expected? What are the characteristics that are actually found in the text? Is the text effective in communicating the main point to the audience? What can you say about the values and assumptions that are shared by members of the knowledge community?
In addition to analyzing the text itself, you may also find it useful to find out about the medium in which the text was presented. Explore these and other related questions thoroughly to generate ideas for your writing.
Learning Objectives
In this project, you will learn to
Analyze persuasive texts by examining the rhetorical context, argument strategies and textual features
Understand how to analyze the rhetorical features of various types of texts and images
Understand various perspectives on the global spread of the English language
Examine how arguments can be developed and presented to a ...

Author’s Last Name, First Name. “Name of Article in Quotation Marks.” Name of Source/Publication in Italics. Publication Date/Info. Name of Database in Italics. Url. Date Accessed.
This article discusses (give the thesis of the article). In the next 2-4 sentences, give the main points of the article. Tell what the article said.
The purpose of this article is ______. The intended audience seems to be _______. Address the credibility of the source and the author. For example, for a database article you could write: The source came from the Sinclair database and the article came from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. The author seems credible because she has written many other articles on the subject. The article was written in 2020.
I can use this source for ______. I plan to use the following quote: “______.”
Next Citation. Note there are no extra lines of white space anywhere. Double-space throughout.
Writing the Annotated Bibliography
From the Working Bibliography that you created, you will choose 10 sources that best answer the questions you posed in your Research Proposal. Those sources will form the basis for the Annotated Bibliography. You will need a minimum of five sources from Sinclair databases and at least three of those sources should be "scholarly."
Briefly, the annotated bibliography includes notes and analysis on sources that will be quoted and paraphrased in the final essay. You have already had practice with the skills that are required, but the assignments do require that you set aside several hours for reading and analysis.
If you've taken ENG 1101 at Sinclair recently, you may have already had some experience with the annotated bibliography.
Annotated Bibliography
To begin to put the Annotated Bibliography together, review the sources you listed on your Working Bibliography. Choose 10 that look like they come the closest to answering the research questions you posted in your Research Proposal. If, after reading and researching further into your topic, you realize that you do NOT have 10 that address the issue you are writing about, go back to the library databases and find more sources. Keep searching until you have ten.
Choosing the 10 sources for the Annotated Bibliography is important because you are going to spend considerable time reading, summarizing, and critiquing these sources. Make sure you take as much time as necessary to read and choose sources that answer the questions you posed in your research proposal. The work that you do for the annotated bibliography will form the basis for your research paper. The time you put into this assignment will pay off when you go to write the paper because what you create for the annotated bibliography will go directly into your paper to support the ideas that you are sharing with your readers. This assignment is one of the most important steps in writing the paper. ...

Suppose you told your friend that you just watched a great film and your friend asks what the story is. What would you do? Would you tell the whole story? Or just simply give the gist of the story.
As an important skill in critical reading, summarizing is often used to determine the essential ideas in a book chapter, an article. These essential ideas include the gist or main idea, useful information, or key words or phrases that help you meet your reading purpose. Summarizing is generally done after reading. However, it can be done as well while reading a text.
Summarizing is an important skill because it helps you…….
deepen your understanding of the text;
Learn to identify relevant information or key ideas;
Combine details or examples that support the main ideas/s;
Concentrate on the gist or main idea and key words presented in the text; and
Capture the key ideas in the text and put them together clearly and concisely.

WRITING #1.0: Comparative Analysis Paper
English 1302
Spring 2015
SYNOPSIS OF TASK
Americans love independence. It is at the very core of the nation’s foundations. Many of our
most cherished ideals come from individuality and the right to choose our own path in life.
Rebels and outlaws can become innovators and icons. Despite this, we also share a great love
for being a part of something bigger. Americans also have a great desire to fit in and belong.
Being outside the norm, in any way, carries with it the possibility being ostracized. It comes as
no surprise then, that these conflicting ideals can cause a lot of problems for people. This
struggle between conformity and rebellion is a popular topic for writers. The works listed below
all discuss this broad topic in one way or another
Battle Royal by Ralph Ellison 283-294
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson 415-421
Two Kinds by Amy Tan 636-643
“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost 811
“Barbie Doll” by Marge Piercy 1023
“We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks 732
“The Man He Killed” by Thomas Hardy 689
“Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen 909
“The Soldier” by Rupert Brooke 910
“Harlem” by Langston Hughes 762
“The Unknown Citizen” by W. H. Auden (http://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/unknown-
citizen)
For this assignment, using at least four of the works listed above, you will write a paper that
compares what the writers say, and then (briefly) comment on what the writers say in your
conclusion.
In other words, by your paper will (1) identify and summarize essential points made by the
writers and (2) compare/contrast those points, based on what the writers argue. Such analysis of
sources is a common practice both in college writing and in the writing of scholars. Your
“commenting” will occur in the conclusion, where you can evaluate the strengths and/or
weaknesses of the authors’ arguments. You will give no evaluation in the paper prior to
this point.
The completed paper will be 3-4 pages in length (double spaced and not including the works
cited page)
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE TASK.
Probably the most difficult part of your task for this paper will be the connections you make
among the articles you choose. These primary connections (“themes,” “points,” “ideas”) will, of
course, represent what is in the articles, but making such connections is a matter of your
input: your accurate, insightful reading, interpretation, and analysis. Although you will
need to reproduce accurately what is in the articles, your paper’s real success lies in how
insightful your connections are among the four articles. Try to find areas in which the works
share a common ground, as well as looking for ways in which they are different from each
other. All the works have something to say about rebellion, conformity, or both. No two works
say the exact same thing, nor do they say similar things in the exact same w.

Academic writing
Writing an annotated bibliography
Students are often required to prepare an annotated bibliography. Annotate means to ‘make a note’, and
biblio refers to ‘book’. In the 21
st
century students consult much more but still including books: e.g.
websites, journals (hardcopy and electronic), newspapers and so on. Simply stated, an annotated
bibliography is a list of sources or citations with a brief evaluative summary (annotation) about each source.
Its purpose is to describe and evaluate the source text in a way that allows the reader to decide whether or
not to read the work itself.
Terminology
Source whatever material you have used for your topic; for example,
journal articles, electronic sources, books or chapters of books
Citation gives the precise bibliographical information needed to locate
the material; it is the same as a list of references and is placed
in alphabetical order
Annotation follows each citation, and is a note that explains, describes
and/or evaluates the cited source. Annotations are normally no
more than 50 to 150 words
The purpose of an annotated bibliography
An annotated bibliography is not a simple summary of each source text. Annotations are descriptive and
critical, with the aim of informing the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources (books,
journal articles, etc) cited. In general the annotation is to inform. Specific purposes may be to:
review the literature on a particular subject
illustrate the quality of your research
provide examples of sources available
describe other items on a topic that may be of interest to the reader
explore the subject for further research.
How to write the annotation
1. Locate and record citations to books, periodicals, and documents that may contain useful
information and ideas on your topic.
2. Cite the book, article or document, using the appropriate referencing style. At CSU this is usually
the APA style. For example:
Jones, B. (2008). Colonial Paintings in NSW Art Galleries. Sydney: Angus & Robertson.
3. State the authority or background of the author.
4. Comment on the intended audience and degree of reading difficulty.
5. Explain the main purpose of the text.

Research Paper Current Perspective of Consumer Technology .docx
Research Paper: Current Perspective of Consumer Technology
Choose a current (within the last 5 years) movie or documentary about – or involving -
consumer technology. Write a synopsis of the movie. Do additional research about the
technology and the consumer that the movie addresses. Some ideas of consumer technology
can be the use of 3D Printers, medical technology, nutrition and farming technology, etc.
Be sure to answer these questions in your paper:
• When and how was the technology developed?
• Who was the technology specifically developed for and who is currently using the
technology?
• What are future expectations for this technology and how is it expected to benefit
consumers?
• What are the global applications of this technology for international consumers?
You will be using the Writing Specifics instructions listed below. You will be graded on
your originality, analysis, and reflections. Please cite the used references for this paper in the
latest APA format.
Research Paper Tips: Before writing your paper, review the APA Writing guide. Make sure to
use Times New Roman 12 pt. font, double space formatting and create your paper in MS Word
only. Be sure to proof read your work for continuity, content, grammar, punctuation and spelling
before submitting. Submit to the Dropbox by the due date specified in the course schedule. Late
work will not be accepted.
Research Specifics: Use a minimum of three credible resources for your research. Include at
least one source from our class curricula. Additional resources can be from the internet (both
articles and video links), but do not use any Wiki resources of any kind as these are not
considered credible resources.
Writing specifics: Be sure to write your paper using an Academic APA Writing style. This
means to write using a third person style, not using first person referencing. Do not use “I” or
“We” in the writing. Your paper should be a minimum of 5 pages, excluding the title and
reference pages.
Structure your paper with the following sections:
Introduction: Create a topic sentence that summarizes your topic and explains the title of the
paper. Flesh out the introduction with an overview of what your paper will cover. A good rule of
thumb is to write one sentence for each section of your paper in your introduction.
Body of your paper: You can label this section as appropriate to your research and analysis of
your findings on your topic. For instance you can label this section as Literature Review (or
Findings) of Your Topic. You can have sub-topic areas in this section as appropriate to your
topic. <See APA template for how to properly lay out your paper and the various sections.>
Next section of your paper: This area can be labeled as Conclusion. In this area you will
conclude your findings on your topic and provide suggestions for further/future research.
Last section of your paper: This is the Reference section. Any res.

Globalization is the motivating force behind the business environment in the 21st century.
Debate the following the veracity of the following statement:
Globalization only significantly affects the CEOs of multinational corporations and high-net-worth individuals.
If your last name begins with A-M you are to argue that the statement is true. If your last name begins with N-Z you are to argue that the statement is false. Reference your reading material.

· Open your argument with you second best supporting point.
· Put your weakest point in the middle and choose words which are descriptive to make it more interesting.
· NEVER USE “I think”, “I believe,” “I feel” or personal pronouns of any kind. Unfortunately unless you are an expert your opinions are not very convincing.
· Be creative with your ideas to keep the reader interested in your point of view.
· Do not make this a presentation, report or quotes.
· USE YOUR OWN WORDS AND SELECT THEM PURPOSEFULLY.
The category for the argument is to be true in nature for the last name begins with A-M

Text Analysis – Current Educational Philosophy Issue Your Text a.docx
Text Analysis – Current Educational Philosophy Issue
Your Text analysis assignment is an analysis of a current philosophy of education issue. The selected text must have been constructed within the past year. The assignment requires that you make links between your chosen text, concepts, videos, and readings from the course. The purpose of the exercise is to help you to critically examine the way how text inscribe meanings that influence how we conduct education in this country. You may do this paper with a partner.
GUIDELINES
All papers must be typed and should be between 3 to 5 pages long.
Use the handout on Text Analysis while working to make sure all criteria are met. If you work with a partner, only one paper is required. The grade the paper achieves will be assigned to both students.
The format for the paper should be analytic, interpretive, and normative – do not mix up the order of the three perspectives. These perspectives must be clearly delineated in your paper in order to ensure full credit.
It is essential that you remember that this is an analysis and not a report. As such, your goal is to analyze the text not “re-describe” it. Remember! This is not a book report or a “text” description.
Restrict your analysis to a few themes of the text (preferably the main theme), focus on how the argument was constructed and how the text informs education in contemporary society. Utilize course concepts, videos, written texts, quotes, paraphrases, readings, discussion, etc. to help ground your ideas. Failure to do so will result in a weak, one-sided paper.
If you work with a partner, note where you disagree (on what and why). Not everyone shares the same position.
Refer to the "Worksheet on Reading Texts" handout below for explicit questions to guide you in the text analysis.
Worksheet For Reading Text
To really “read” a text, as opposed to just decoding it, requires the reader to construct meaning from the text. To help you in this process, you should attempt to answer at least the following questions for each text? ANALYTIC READING
1. What is the major argument (conclusions) presented in the text?
a. What is the author/speaker trying to convince you?
2. What is the evidence presented to support that claim (Premise)?
3. Is the argument implicit or explicit?
4. Is it an empirical (facts, statistics, etc.), analytical (concepts and definitions) or normative (making a moral claim) argument?
5. What type of reasoning does the author employ (inductive or deductive)?
6. How is the argument presented, i.e. what rhetorical devices are used to make the argument (narrative, metaphors, visual imagery, imagery, ideographs, euphemisms, rhetorical questions, labels, etc.)?
7. Are you able to detect any fallacies in the argument? INTERPRETIVE READING
1. When was the text made?
2. What was going on around that time that might have influenced the writing of this text or the way audiences interpreted it?
3. What might those who r ...

English as a Global LanguageAround the world, the English langua
English as a Global Language
Around the world, the English language is being used for communication among people who come from various language backgrounds—in fact, a majority of English users today grew up speaking other languages. As a result of these language contacts, the English language itself is changing its shape. While some people resist change, there is not much any individual—or a group of people—can do to reverse the trend. In fact, no one owns the language. Yet, people have various views about what English is or should be.
One way to understand different perspectives on an issue is to conduct a rhetorical analysis of texts--spoken or written.
Rhetorical analysis
is a way of analyzing what the text can tell us not only about the subject and argument strategies but also about the interrelationship among the writer, the audience, the genre and arguments as well as the cultural values of the writer and of the knowledge community.
For this writing project, write a rhetorical analysis essay (a kind of critical analysis essay) that examines an argument about English as a global language. Start by identifying a text that presents an argument about global English. The text can be of any genre—including newspaper editorial, opinion sections of newspapers or magazines, blogs, websites, advertisements, signs, posters, and so on. (Keep in mind that analyzing short texts could require more effort in interpreting and explaining the text and its context.)
Once you have identified the text for analysis, explore the text and its context by considering the following questions: What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text? What kind of situation is the text responding to? Who is the writer? How does the writer establish his or her credibility? What is the writer’s attitude toward the subject? How do you know? Who is the primary audience? Who is the secondary audience? What is the major argument and how is it being built? What are some of the supporting arguments? What other arguments or perspectives are represented? What is the genre and what are some of the characteristic features that are expected? What are the characteristics that are actually found in the text? Is the text effective in communicating the main point to the audience? What can you say about the values and assumptions that are shared by members of the knowledge community?
In addition to analyzing the text itself, you may also find it useful to find out about the medium in which the text was presented. Explore these and other related questions thoroughly to generate ideas for your writing.
Learning Objectives
In this project, you will learn to
Analyze persuasive texts by examining the rhetorical context, argument strategies and textual features
Understand how to analyze the rhetorical features of various types of texts and images
Understand various perspectives on the global spread of the English language
Examine how arguments can be developed and presented to a ...

Author’s Last Name, First Name. “Name of Article in Quotation Marks.” Name of Source/Publication in Italics. Publication Date/Info. Name of Database in Italics. Url. Date Accessed.
This article discusses (give the thesis of the article). In the next 2-4 sentences, give the main points of the article. Tell what the article said.
The purpose of this article is ______. The intended audience seems to be _______. Address the credibility of the source and the author. For example, for a database article you could write: The source came from the Sinclair database and the article came from a scholarly peer-reviewed journal. The author seems credible because she has written many other articles on the subject. The article was written in 2020.
I can use this source for ______. I plan to use the following quote: “______.”
Next Citation. Note there are no extra lines of white space anywhere. Double-space throughout.
Writing the Annotated Bibliography
From the Working Bibliography that you created, you will choose 10 sources that best answer the questions you posed in your Research Proposal. Those sources will form the basis for the Annotated Bibliography. You will need a minimum of five sources from Sinclair databases and at least three of those sources should be "scholarly."
Briefly, the annotated bibliography includes notes and analysis on sources that will be quoted and paraphrased in the final essay. You have already had practice with the skills that are required, but the assignments do require that you set aside several hours for reading and analysis.
If you've taken ENG 1101 at Sinclair recently, you may have already had some experience with the annotated bibliography.
Annotated Bibliography
To begin to put the Annotated Bibliography together, review the sources you listed on your Working Bibliography. Choose 10 that look like they come the closest to answering the research questions you posted in your Research Proposal. If, after reading and researching further into your topic, you realize that you do NOT have 10 that address the issue you are writing about, go back to the library databases and find more sources. Keep searching until you have ten.
Choosing the 10 sources for the Annotated Bibliography is important because you are going to spend considerable time reading, summarizing, and critiquing these sources. Make sure you take as much time as necessary to read and choose sources that answer the questions you posed in your research proposal. The work that you do for the annotated bibliography will form the basis for your research paper. The time you put into this assignment will pay off when you go to write the paper because what you create for the annotated bibliography will go directly into your paper to support the ideas that you are sharing with your readers. This assignment is one of the most important steps in writing the paper. ...

Basics of Summarizing
It's the basics.
Determine the purpose of summarizing;
Discuss the features of summarizing;
Apply effective strategies in summarizing;
Evaluate summaries.
Suppose you told your friend that you just watched a great film and your friend asks what the story is. What would you do? Would you tell the whole story? Or just simply give the gist of the story.
As an important skill in critical reading, summarizing is often used to determine the essential ideas in a book chapter, an article. These essential ideas include the gist or main idea, useful information, or key words or phrases that help you meet your reading purpose. Summarizing is generally done after reading. However, it can be done as well while reading a text.
Summarizing is an important skill because it helps you…….
deepen your understanding of the text;
Learn to identify relevant information or key ideas;
Combine details or examples that support the main ideas/s;
Concentrate on the gist or main idea and key words presented in the text; and

WRITING #1.0 Comparative Analysis Paper English 1302 .docx
WRITING #1.0: Comparative Analysis Paper
English 1302
Spring 2015
SYNOPSIS OF TASK
Americans love independence. It is at the very core of the nation’s foundations. Many of our
most cherished ideals come from individuality and the right to choose our own path in life.
Rebels and outlaws can become innovators and icons. Despite this, we also share a great love
for being a part of something bigger. Americans also have a great desire to fit in and belong.
Being outside the norm, in any way, carries with it the possibility being ostracized. It comes as
no surprise then, that these conflicting ideals can cause a lot of problems for people. This
struggle between conformity and rebellion is a popular topic for writers. The works listed below
all discuss this broad topic in one way or another
Battle Royal by Ralph Ellison 283-294
The Lottery by Shirley Jackson 415-421
Two Kinds by Amy Tan 636-643
“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost 811
“Barbie Doll” by Marge Piercy 1023
“We Real Cool” by Gwendolyn Brooks 732
“The Man He Killed” by Thomas Hardy 689
“Dulce et Decorum Est” by Wilfred Owen 909
“The Soldier” by Rupert Brooke 910
“Harlem” by Langston Hughes 762
“The Unknown Citizen” by W. H. Auden (http://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poem/unknown-
citizen)
For this assignment, using at least four of the works listed above, you will write a paper that
compares what the writers say, and then (briefly) comment on what the writers say in your
conclusion.
In other words, by your paper will (1) identify and summarize essential points made by the
writers and (2) compare/contrast those points, based on what the writers argue. Such analysis of
sources is a common practice both in college writing and in the writing of scholars. Your
“commenting” will occur in the conclusion, where you can evaluate the strengths and/or
weaknesses of the authors’ arguments. You will give no evaluation in the paper prior to
this point.
The completed paper will be 3-4 pages in length (double spaced and not including the works
cited page)
SPECIAL FEATURES OF THE TASK.
Probably the most difficult part of your task for this paper will be the connections you make
among the articles you choose. These primary connections (“themes,” “points,” “ideas”) will, of
course, represent what is in the articles, but making such connections is a matter of your
input: your accurate, insightful reading, interpretation, and analysis. Although you will
need to reproduce accurately what is in the articles, your paper’s real success lies in how
insightful your connections are among the four articles. Try to find areas in which the works
share a common ground, as well as looking for ways in which they are different from each
other. All the works have something to say about rebellion, conformity, or both. No two works
say the exact same thing, nor do they say similar things in the exact same w.

The Mini Project Task Instructions Read about validity and reliab.docx
The Mini Project Task
Instructions: Read about validity and reliability starting on page 324 of the textbook.
Your assignment is to create a 5-page paper addressing the following questions:
a. What is the difference between reliability and validity? Which is more important? Why?
b. What are the different ways of assessing reliability?
c. What are the different ways of assessing validity?
d. What are the different ways of obtaining validity evidence?
The analysis requires the additional components:
APA formatted paper including:
o Font: Times New Roman, 12 point, and double spaced.
o Margins: One inch margins, all around.
o Indents: One-half inch indent as to begin a paragraph.
o Proper APA citations and references.
o Proper use of Level 1 headings as to label the
introduction, main body,
and
conclusions
segments.
o Proper use of Level 2 headings as to label the sections within the
main body
and
conclusions
.
o A proper title page.
o A reference page utilizing hanging indents and alphabetized by the last name of the first author.
Free of spelling errors and minimal use of passive voice.
Page 324
In general, reliabilities less than 0.60 are considered to be poor, those in the 0.70 range, acceptable, and those over 0.80 good. Thus, the internal consistency reliability of the measures used in this study can be considered to be acceptable for the job enrichment measure and good for the other measures.
It is important to note that all the negatively worded items in the questionnaire should first be reversed before the items are submitted for reliability tests. Unless all the items measuring a variable are in the same direction, the reliabilities obtained will be incorrect.
A sample of the result obtained for the Cronbach’s alpha test for job enrichment, together with instructions on how it is obtained, is shown in Output 11.3.
The reliability of the job enrichment measure is presented in the first table in Output 11.3. The second table provides an overview of the alphas if we take one of the items out of the measure. For instance, it is shown that if the first item (Jobchar1) is taken out, Cronbach’s alpha of the new three-item measure will be 0.577. This means that the alpha will go down if we take item 1 out of our measure. On the other hand, if we take out item 3, our alpha will go up and become 0.851. Note that, in this case, we would not take out item 3 for two reasons. First, our alpha is above 0.7 so we do not have to take any remedial actions. Second, if we took item 3 out, the validity of our measure would probably decrease. We did not include item 3 for nothing in the original measure!
If, however, our Cronbach’s alpha was too low (under 0.60) then we could use this table to find out which of the items would have to be removed from our measure to increase the interitem consistency. Note that, usually, taking out an item, although improving the reliability of our measure, affects the validity of our measure .

Formal Essay #3: Reporting Information/The Expository Essay
Expository writing is a staple of academic writing. Throughout your academic and professional career, you will be called on to write hundreds of expository articles, reports and essays. A thorough knowledge of this writing form will hold you in good stead all through your career.
What is Expository Writing?
‘Expository’ is a synonym of ‘explanatory’. An expository essay is a piece of writing that explains or informs. It should be based on fact and free of the writer’s prejudices. Opinion is often expressed, but only if it is backed by fact. For example, if someone asked you to write an essay on the causes of World War II, you would write about Germany’s losses in World War I, the Treaty of Versailles, the fall of the Weimar Republic, and the rise of Hitler led Nazism. In other words, everything would be based on verifiable fact.
The expository writing process centers on four activities:
Generate a rough idea or hypothesis.
Find evidence to back up this idea.
Expound on the idea.
Present an argument to back up the idea.
Thus, if you were to say that the Treaty of Versailles was the chief cause of World War II, you would first talk about the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles, the financial condition of Germany after WWI, the ineffectiveness of the Weimar Republic, and how they all led to the rise of Nazism.
Structurally, a piece of expository writing has the following components:
An
introduction
that introduces the central idea you will discuss in the essay.
The
main body
that presents evidence to back up the idea. This is the meat of the essay.
A
conclusion
that presents your idea again in the light of the evidence.
Thus, the central thrust of expository writing should be to build towards proving an argument, fact by fact, piece of evidence by piece of evidence. You will use expository writing a lot throughout your academic life. Most essays that you write in college will be expository in nature. Most writing that you will do in your professional life will involve a lot of expository content as well. In other words, sharpening up this skill will serve you well throughout your life.

Attempt at Eliminating Discrimination
After the civil war, the African American, Hispanics and minorities suffered great discrimination in the workplace in particular and life generally. Precisely during the 1960s these groups went through denial of employment or appropriate wages irrespective of their standard of education being higher than that of their majority counterparts. There was a great debate about discrimination on the basis of color, race, gender or religion. Over the years, some programs have been developed in order to handle or to try and e.

follow a pattern of behavior that is inane and ultimately self-destructive, as can be seen in how they end up -- either dead, wrongly accused and imprisoned for a crime they didn't commit, or ironically not convicted for a crime they did commit. What do you think these films are saying about the pattern of behavior they followed to get them where they wound up in the end, as well as why they followed these patterns of behavior in the first place? In other words, what is the way of thinking or belief system that lead to these characters' behaviors, and what does the film tell us about this way of thinking or belief system? And finally, does the film propose an alternative way of thinking or life narrative that might have proven more salutory for these characters in the end?

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Introduction Simply put, social justice is the concept of a "just" society based on a foundation of human rights. Most agree with the idea of basic human rights for all, yet, the nature of human rights varies dramatically around the world. When you consider social justice on a global level, think about the challenge of achieving a "just" society for every human being. What is considered
- 6. "right" or "just" for all? Is it possible to have a universal acceptance of one interpretation of social justice? This week you consider varied interpretations of social justice. You explore classic documents and analyze them for Western bias and universal applicability. Finally, you explain your personal ideology regarding social justice.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly —The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Regardless of nationality, race, gender, or religion, everyone is entitled to human rights. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, written in 1948, was the first document to address global human rights. Despite its international adoption, the ideals, privileges and freedoms in this and subsequent
- 8. documents are often challenged as products of biased Western cultures. In fact, the varying definitions of human rights have deep cultural roots in values and practices that may resist change, perpetuate inequity, and cause harm. In this course, the first concept you explore relates to different views of human rights that reflect different interpretations of social justice. When it comes to social justice, you are likely to find that there are no correct answers. Throughout the course, you explore key philosophical concepts of global social justice and consider the following questions: At what point do cultural practices become violations of human rights? Are social injustices national or global concerns? Under what conditions does social injustice justify military intervention, if at all? How do governments and corporations help to remediate or sustain poverty? Who is responsible for helping poorer nations and how can social action be more effective? At the conclusion of each week, you are asked to maintain a journal with answers to key questions about your perspectives, priorities, and roles in achieving global social justice. At the end of the course, you review your journal entries and reflect on the progression of your ideology about social justice. Most likely, your thoughts about the future of social justice will be changed forever after completing this course. Again, welcome to Global Social Justice.
