PART1 (WEEK1)
Introduction
Over the eight weeks of the course, you will work on a paper that addresses a current controversial issue. This paper is to be in the form of an argument. You will select a topic, choose an issue related to that topic, thoroughly research both sides of the issue, and then write a paper that supports one side or the other of the issue. Your paper must define the issue, present evidence on both sides of the issue, and then argue that one side is stronger and more persuasive than the other. Your paper must address at least three relevant aspects of the issue. More specific directions for each part of the paper will be found within the specific assignment in the weekly modules.
Here is a brief breakdown of the project so that you can plan your time in the course:

State the specific issue you will explore.
This must be stated either as a question ("Should prostitution be legalized?") or a whether-or-not statement ("Whether prostitution should be legalized").
For the stated issue, state three (3) aspects of the issue that you think you will likely develop in your paper. Briefly state why you have chosen each aspect.
You are not confined to three aspects only, but you must develop
at least
three. As you develop your paper, you may find other aspects that you deem more relevant, and may add or substitute those.

Short Critical Essay Project
This project is worth 10% of your final grade, due March 27, 2015. It is an individual assignment. Late assignments are penalized 5% per day including weekends to a maximum of 50%. Senate regulations require all term work to be submitted by the last day of classes April 8, 2015, after which work cannot be accepted and a grade of 0 will be given.
Write a 750-1200 word argumentative essay related to the topic of the responsibility of affluent nations and their citizens to people without even basic sustenance, discussed in Peter Singer’s paper “Famine, Affluence, and Morality.”
In your essay, you must make reference to Singer’s paper “Famine, Affluence, and Morality” and the paper you read in producing the annotated bibliography in Assignment #17. Both papers must be listed in your bibliography. Other sources may also be referenced but this is not required, though all sources used must be listed in the bibliography. Your project must begin with a standard form representation of your argument followed by a diagram of the argument, using between 10-15 premises. Your argument must include at least one deductive inference and one inductive inference and these must be identified (by type) and indicated on your diagram (i.e. on the arrow connecting the premises note “disjunctive syllogism” or “analogy”).
Quotations should be referenced in the text as follows:
“text” (author year, page number(s)). Note the final punctuation comes after the reference. If a text has to be altered slightly for grammatical reasons put the changes in square brackets.
E.g. Here we have some text I have written followed by a quote to verify my interpretation. If you wish to emphasize part of the quote use italics and note “my emphasis”, otherwise you might commit the fallacy of accent. In the passage I quote below, the emphasis was in the original, as noted. Where some text irrelevant to my purposes was left out I use ellipsis (…).
Fodor’s account of early language learning is an account of predicate acquisition and it remains the cornerstone for his thesis that we possess an innate representational system as rich as any natural language we can learn. “What, then is being denied?... that one can learn a language whose predicates express extensions not expressible by predicates of the representational system whose employment mediates the learning” (Fodor 1975, p.86, emphasis in original).
Include a bibliography, citing all sources used to write the essay as instructed for Assignment #17.
Include a word count.

This assignment has three parts total: Topics Inventory, Controlling Idea Statement, and Short Proposal. Submit all three parts in one document.
Part I: Topics Inventory
For the Topics Inventory, you will construct a list of topics from which you may choose one to develop into a Research Paper for this course. This exercise is based on the models on p. 318 of
Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers
, so you will want to refer back to this page for examples. (NOTE: The book does not always provide three possible topics per category, but you will be required to do so. Please see the Unit I Example.
Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to help you formulate an inventory of topics that you are interested in so that you may choose one to research in Unit II and develop into a Research Proposal. Be sure to choose a topic that you are invested in, as you are more likely to be motivated and excited about a subject that interests you. You will want to choose a topic that is academically viable, for as Lester et al (2011) state, "You can’t write a personal essay and call it a research paper, yet you can choose topics close to your life" (p. 318).
Description:
You will supply three (3) possible topics in each of the following four (4) categories:
1. Academic subject
2. Social issue
3. Scientific subject
4. Cultural background
Within each of these four (4) categories, you will supply three (3) possible academic topics. Use the following format to organize your topics inventory:
1. Personal interest
2. The category (repeated from above: academic study, social issue, scientific subject, and cultural background)
3. Three possible academic topics (each should be distinctive, developed, and as specific as possible
)
After you complete Part I, you will have twelve (12) possible topics that you could choose from and develop into a research project. You will choose one of these and work with the same one for Part II and Part III.
Example: Academic study
1. Personal interest: Cars
2. Academic subject: Eco-engineering
3. Possible academic topic:
• "The Fate of Hybrid Vehicles: The Cost Is Not Worth the Environmental Toll"
• "Hydrogen Cars: Are They a Safe Alternative?"
• "Electric Cars Are Not ‘Saving’ Environmental Resources, Only Saving
• Money at the Gas Pump" The Topics Inventory is worth 40 points of this assignment.
Part II: Controlling Idea Statement
Understanding your controlling idea will aid you in your research endeavor in Unit II as you launch into researching materials to help you better develop your research paper.
Purpose:

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

Mrs. Mathew
Unit 3: Synthesis Project
You will be creating an AP Exam Synthesis Question. The Synthesis Question gives you several sources and asks you to combine (synthesize) them with your own thoughts to create a cohesive essay. This is the same goal as a research paper. Your question (prompt) and sources should be formatted, labeled, and presented as on the AP Lang Exam. This will be modeled after the ones in the sample packets you were given.
Source Requirements:
· 8 sources
· No sources older than 10 years
· At least two sources published within the last two years (2020, 2021, 2022)
· Provide 1-2 sources that are images (political cartoons, graphs, charts, etc.)
· Sources should demonstrate a range of positions and approaches to the topic. Your goal is to figure out what 2-3 of the main “sides” are in the debate around the issue and represent those sides fairly.
Research Resources:
· Use this
link to access academic databases through CPS and Lane.
Example topics:
· Security vs Privacy: Personal Rights
· Standardized Education Movement
· Parenting Styles of the 21st Century
· Why Movements Matter: Voices of the People
· Technology’s Impact on American Families
Project Requirements:
Include, neatly formatted in one document
· Prompt page with directions, introduction, and assignment
· 6 sources
·
MLA citation of each source
· 3 potential thesis statements for this essay
a. One that is open
b. One that is closed
c. One that is a counter argument thesis.
· Choose one thesis statement, and create an outline of a response to ensure that others can synthesize these sources.
The most effective Synthesis Prompts give the test-takers a wide variety of sources to consider. These sources are of various types, lengths, and opinions. This diversity allows each test-taker to choose their own individual approach to the assignment while providing them with the tools to adequately synthesize into their paper.
You are going to choose EIGHT sources specific to your assigned topic. This will ensure that your group will be providing sources that show the complexity of the issue.
Therefore, when choosing your sources, keep several guidelines in mind:
1. Choose sources that cover a variety of viewpoints on your assigned topic, making sure to keep the sides evenly represented.
2. Choose sources from a wide variety of locations and formats. Use the list below as guidance; it is certainly not all-inclusive. Requirements are in CAPITAL letters. Beyond those required types, you may choose the rest of your sources at your discretion.

Purpose The purpose of Draft 3 is to build upon Draft 2 and.docx
Purpose:
The purpose of Draft 3 is to build upon Draft 2 and to move your drafting process forward so that you can add (1) a body, and (2) a conclusion
, and (3) an abstract to your paper (due Unit/Week 8), making it a cohesive, whole academic paper.
Description:
In this assignment,
you will take Draft 2
(introduction and review of literature), written in Unit VI, and
add the body of your paper
.
Your body paragraphs should contain the six elements indicated below and be developed in an appropriate manner. If the body does not contain these elements, it is likely you have not fully developed the body, and this lack of development can severely impact your grade for this assignment.
You will need to
write at least four body paragraphs
and
incorporate five academic sources
for this assignment. The paragraphs should be thorough and cover all the listed elements. Your Draft 3 (introduction, review of literature, and body) should include the elements listed below.
Elements:
Your grade for Draft 3 is based on your inclusion of various elements and the overall quality of your writing. Your Draft 3 must contain the following elements.
1.
Cover page and APA formatting:
The running head should include up to fifty (50) characters from the title of the paper, along with a sequential page number in the upper right-hand corner.
2.
Introduction:
Using the comments that you received on your Draft 2, revise your introduction
. To avoid pitfalls to writing an introductory paragraph, review the Checklist “Avoid Certain Mistakes in the Introduction” on p. 495 of
Strategies for Writing Successful Research Papers
.
3.
Review of literature:
Using the comments that you received on your Draft 1, revise your review of literature, and include it with this newest draft.
4.
Body paragraphs:
Each paragraph of the body of your Research Paper should be a cohesive unit. It should be tight, but developed. It should serve a function, and its purpose should always be to bolster the thesis. Therefore, you should use the following order for each paragraph in the body.
a.
Topic sentence:
This sentence summarizes the entire paragraph in one strong, well-written sentence, and it directly supports the thesis statement.
b.
Explanation of topic sentence (1-2 sentences):
Often times there is more to be said about the topic sentence, more explanation that is necessary in order for it to be a clear idea, so there are usually a few sentences that follow the topic sentence that explicate the idea more for the reader. These sentences not only “unpack” the topic sentence, but they also anticipate the evidence that will be used to support the topic sentence, usually indirectly.
c.
Introduction to evidence (1-2 sentences):
No piece of evidence (quotation, example, paraphrase, etc.) should be dropped into a paragraph without first introducing it. An introduction might include the title of the source, the author, and/or a short description of .
Unit2_AnnotatedBibliography_Instructions
This document provides instructions for completing an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography lists sources used for research and includes a brief description and analysis of each source. For this annotated bibliography, the student must include at least 10 sources from specific categories that are relevant to their research topic. Each annotation should be approximately 250 words and include a citation, summary, analysis, and reflection on how the source relates to the research question. The annotated bibliography will help frame the student's understanding of the research topic and guide their final project. It must be submitted by the given deadline and follow MLA formatting guidelines. The annotated bibliography will be evaluated based on the rhetorical analysis, summaries, formatting, and citations.

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.
