Speculating about Causes or Effects--Prompt and Dropbox
Essay Three: Speculating about Causes or Effects
Essays that speculate about causes or effects require you, the writer, to fully
"connect-the-dots"
for me, the reader.
Essays that speculate about causes:
In your examples/details in the body paragraphs, you must fully explain and analyze how the causes are the root, the genesis of the subject/topic discussed. The research (direct quote/paraphrases) that follow the examples/details further validate/corroborate your examples/details. Lastly, your analysis sentences that follow your direct quotes/paraphrases analyze and further clarify how the research validates the examples/details.
Essays that speculate about effects:
In your examples/details in the body paragraphs, you must fully explain and analyze how the effects are the results, the products of the subject/topic discussed. The research (direct quote/paraphrases) that follow the examples/details further validate/corroborate your examples/details. Lastly, in your analysis sentences that follow the direct quotes/paraphrases you must fully articulate how the research supports/validates the examples.
All in all, more writing is required to make the logic of your essay sound and drum tight.
The Writing Assignment:
Based on the Carr essay on p. 376, write an essay that:
1) analyzes the multiple
effects
(good effects, bad effects, or a mix of both good and bad effects) any form of technology (Google, Facebook, iPad, a specific video game, Android phone, iPhone, Tinder, etc...) has had on you and on society in general.
OR
2) write an essay that analyzes the social, psychological, and/or emotional
causes
of how a specific form of technology (Google, Facebook, iPad, a specific video game, Android phone, iPhone, Tinder, etc...) has become so popular, so pervasive, and so "necessary" in our culture.
Overall, choose one of the topics above and write an essay that speculates about its Causes
OR
its Effects. Let me be very clear here: you are writing an essay only doing one of these tasks.
!!!An essay that asks you to write on both Causes and Effects will be a very large paper...and that is not what I'm requiring of you!!!
Audience and Purpose
: Your audience may not be completely aware of the causes or effects so you should take the time to explain everything and how either the causes or effects are relevant to their lives.
Guidelines
:
1) This essay will be 5 pages in length.
2a) Because you are required to use research, you will also have a Works Cited page. Remember, this page is not part of the page requirement.
2b) Try to use the Carr essay as one of your sources for your essay. Also, try to use the Carr video (Modules: Weblinks and Videos:
What the Internet is doing to our Brains
) as one of your sources.
3) This being a college essay, you will use proper MLA formatting. This being an essay requiring you to use research, you will use proper ...

Navigating The Social Networking LandscapeKathy Lussier
Many librarians have joined the social networking universe by creating accounts for themselves and their libraries on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace.Linkedln, etc. But what happens when your town administrator connects with you on a site you mostly use for interacting with old high school friends? What is the protocol when a school librarian friends their students? How do you deal with a user who posts inappropriate photos on a library’s page? This presentation explores best practices for mixing your personal and professional lives on social networking sites, considers policies that can set guidelines for staff and patron/student use of these sites and discusses other ways to keep a comment we made on Facebook or MySpace off the front page of the local newspaper.

computer that has internet
access.

7. 2) Your friend tells you about a book called
Identical by Ellen Hopkins. How would you
search for this book?
a) Subject
b) Keyword
c) Title
d) Author
8. The subject of the book is what the book is
about. Since “identical” doesn’t really
indicate the subject of the book, that would
not be a good way to search for this book.
Click here to go back and try again.
9. A keyword search is good for when you want to
search the title, author, or description to find a book.
It will return many results, so it’s best not to use it if
you know the author or title of the book.
Click here to try again.
10. That’s right! You know what the title of the
book is, so why not use it? When you enter
the book’s title and then click TITLE to do
the search, you get exactly what you are
looking for.
Click here to go to the next question.
11. You COULD search by author since you know what that is, but
when you do an author search your results will be all the books in
the media center by that author. You’ll then have to scroll through
them to get to the one you want. The best way to search for a
book if you know the title is to typye that title and then click TITLE
to do a search for that particular book.
You get partial credit for that answer, so you can click here to go to
the next question.
12. 3)If you are trying to find a
book about art, you would
search by:
a) Title
b) Author
c) Subject
d) Keyword
13. If you did a TITLE search for Art, your results
would be every book in the media center
with Art in the title. That would include
fiction, graphic novels, as well as reference
and non-fiction.
Go back and try again.
14. If you searched the word art
by AUTHOR, you would get
all authors whose first or last
names are ART.
Go back and try again.
15. That’s right! When you are
trying to find a book that is
about a certain subject, you
do a SUBJECT search. This
way only books about art are
given in the results.
Go on to the next question.
16. A keyword search is better
than author or title, but it’s
still not the BEST answer.
When you search for books by
keyword, you get results that
include every book with the
word ART in its title, author’s
name, description, and title.
That could mean more than
100 books to sift through.
Go back and try the question
again.
17. 4. What type of search would you do to find all books by John Grisham?
a) Keyword search for John
b) Author search for Grisham
c) Title search for John
d) Subject search for Grisham
18. Do you know how many books are written
by John? You would have to go through
hundreds of books in your results just to get
to the John Grisham books by doing a
keyword search. A keyword search returns
results that contain the words “John” in the
author, title, subject and description.
Go back and see if you can find a better
answer.
19. That’s perfect! When you want to find books
by a particular author, do an AUTHOR search
so that your results are exactly what you
want. If the person has a more common last
name, you would need to also include his first
name, but since there is only one Grisham in
the media center catalog, that would be the
right answer.
Go on to the next question.
20. A title search for John would give
you only books that have John in
the title.
Go back and try again.
21. A subject search returns only books that are ABOUT John Grisham. While
you may enjoy reading about him, you’ll have to do a different kind of
search to find books that are BY him.
Go back and try again.
22. 5. An autographical book by Dave Pelzer called
“A Child Called It” would probably have these
call numbers:
a) F Pel
b) F Chi
c) 921 Pel
d) 921 Chi
23. An F in front of the call numbers means that the book
is a work of fiction.
The Pel after the F means that the book was written
by someone whose last name starts with those
letters, so you did answer that part of the question
correctly.
Go back and try again.
24. An F in front of the letters means that the book is a
work of fiction. We know that this is an
autobiography, so it is non-fiction, not fictional.
Go back and try again.
25. That’s right! This is a non-fiction book
because we know it is an
autobiography. Non-fiction books are
categorized by their Dewey Decimal
numbers, and 921 represents
biographical books.
The letters Pel mean that the book
was written by someone whose last
name starts with those letters, so an
autobiographical book by Dave Pelzer
would be 921 Pel.
Go on to the next question.
26. You almost got it right! The numbers 921 mean that it
is a nonfiction book, located in the biography section.
You may have thought that because the book starts
with (A) “Child” that the first three letters would be
Chi. Remember, the first three letters usually
represent the author’s last name.
Go back and try again.
27. 6) What might the name of a
book with these call
numbers be: F Sew
a) If I Were Your Boyfriend,
by Earl Sewell
b) How to Sew by Karen E.
Kunkel
c) A History of the Armed
Forces by Dan Sewer
d) All of the above
28. That’s right. F lets us know
it’s a fiction book and Sew
lets us know that it’s by
someone whose last name
starts with Sew.
Go on to the next question.
29. A book called How to Sew is
probably not going to be a
fiction book. Also, the letters
Sew in the call number
represent the AUTHOR’S last
name, not the title of the
book.
Go back and try again.
30. The book is by Dan Sewer, so
you would be right in
assuming the book is by
someone whose last name
starts with Sew. However,
the title of the book appears
to be a non-fiction book
instead of fiction.
Go back and try again.
31. Only one of the answers is
correct. You are looking for a
fictional book by someone
whose last name starts with
Sew.
Go back and try again.
32. 7. What section of the media center would you
find the encyclopedias?
a) Fiction
b) Non-fiction
c) Graphic Novels
d) Reference
33. Now you know that the encyclopedias are not
works of fiction.
Go back and try again.
34. That’s a good guess. Encyclopedias are non-
fiction, but you won’t find them with all the other
non-fiction books. Here’s a hint: You can’t check
out encyclopedias or any of the other books in this
section.
Go back and try again.
35. Graphic novels are books written with text and
art, usually in comic strip format. You won’t find
the encyclopedias in that section.
Go back and try again.
36. That’s right! Encyclopedias are reference books
and they are located in the reference section of
the media center.
Go on to the next question.
37. 8. Where would you find this book in the
media center?
a) Non-fiction
b) Fiction
38. Although this book cover doesn’t come right out and
say it is fiction, you can assume by the title and the
photo on the front that it is make-believe.
Try again.
39. That’s right. If the title and illustration
didn’t give it away, you could also tell
from the series title at the top of the
book.
Click here to go on to the next
question.
40. 9. What section of the media center would
you find this book?
a) Fiction
b) Non-fiction
41. Correct!!!
This fictional book about vampires and
werewolves is one of the most popular
fiction books in the media center.
Go to the next question.
42. This story was made up in the author’s
mind….so it’s not NONFICTION.
Go back and try again.
43. 9. The Stephen King novels are in the
fiction section.
a) True
b) False
44. That’s right!
You’ll find almost every book written
by Stephen King in the fiction section
of the media center.
