Welcome to Essentials of English Composition 101. My name is Sta.docx
Welcome to Essentials of English Composition 101. My name is Stacie Vesolich, and I will be your instructor for this course. I commend you for enrolling in this course as a path to furthering your academic goals, and I will make every effort to help you to achieve success in your writing endeavors. Let me begin by highlighting several key points of this course:
Essentials of English Composition 101
8 Modules and a Final Research Paper
There are 8 modules, culminating with a final research paper as the exam.
Each module is different, and it is very important that you read the instructions for every module.
The beginning module requires you to do several writing, practice exercises. This is mandatory, even though the practice exercises are not graded.
The modules start out relatively easy (a descriptive essay and a narrative essay that are written on your firsthand experiences and do not require any writing citations.)
Be advised that the modules build on each other, progressively becoming more difficult.
As your instructor, I have 3 days ( per module) to grade your work. My response to your essay submissions usually does not take three days, although I am granted that amount of time.
Read, Write, Submit, Wait
English courses require that the writer addresses the writing prompt. This can only be done if the writer carefully reads the specific directions.
After you submit your essay, wait for the remarks and critique before submitting another module.
In some instances, you may be required to submit a revision of your essay.
The option to do a revision on the submitted essay is your choice, but is to your advantage.
Progression of Difficulty
Each writing module develops a specific skill and the level of difficulty of these writing skills increases as the course progresses.
Be sure to carefully read all of the instructions and view any videos that apply to the module.
Always address the writing prompt: This is the specific instructional requirement for the essay.
Research and Sources
For this course, when you present information that is based on research that you have reviewed and studied, you must provide two types of sources:
1) Parenthetical or in-text citations For example: (Smith 22)
2) A works cited page that is in alphabetical order.
3) I will use an electronic scan to verify that the work submitted is your original work, or work that has been properly cited.
Remember that you have signed an honesty agreement about the work that you will submit.
Research Essays, Expository Essays, and Persuasive Essays Demand Citations

Genocide: Topic Essay
Your How to Guide
(narrated by me)
An Essay
A Thesis: You must PROVE something.
A thesis statement is merely the main topic of the essay and the author’s opinion or position on that topic. Throughout your essay you set out to prove that opinion.
An example from Week 3’s info:
‘Genghis Khan is not a leader who practiced true genocide.’
OR
‘Genghis Khan is an excellent example of a leader who practiced genocide.’
Three Points
You must have three main points to prove your thesis. These are also known as the topic sentence on the template you will use.
For the thesis – ‘Genghis Khan did not practice true genocide,’ one of your main points could be:
1) He killed everyone, everywhere and did not seem to discriminate.
Three Points X 3 Pieces
of Evidence
With each of your three main points, you must back them up with three additional reason/detail/facts to support that main point. Confusing? Let me help.
For example: The main point – ‘He killed everyone, everywhere and did not seem to discriminate,’ could then be backed up be three specific instances in which this was true.
Help is Here!
Both in the Week 3 Materials and in the content folder labelled ‘Rubrics and Assignment Materials’ is a handy template that you should definitely use to help organize your essay. You can add text to this pdf or simply use it to help you create a word document.
Topics?
You can choose any topic covered in this course from week 1-12 or any topic outside of it, related to genocide. You just need to clear your choice with me be.

Students can use a one-page outline and blue book for the essay. They must take a photo of their essay for the next assignment. The essay should have an introduction, thesis stating the problem and causes/consequences, and 3-5 body paragraphs on causes and consequences. It should conclude by restating the problem and who should care. Students must cite at least two outside sources and include their works cited.
3. CAPTION.pptx
Captions serve to provide brief descriptions and context for images such as photographs and illustrations. They can identify subjects, describe what is happening, and establish relevance to the surrounding text. A good caption clearly identifies the main subject without stating obvious details, is concise, and draws the reader in. Captions vary in length from a few words to several sentences and are an important part of effectively communicating information and ideas in publications.

The document outlines writing standards and genres for 7th grade students, including narratives, persuasive essays, summaries, and responses to literature. It provides guidance on the key elements and structure for each genre. Narratives should use descriptive details to show events and have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Persuasive essays must take a clear position and include arguments and counterarguments. Summaries should introduce the topic, discuss main ideas in brief paragraphs, and wrap up without a formal conclusion. Responses to literature analyze a text using a thesis and evidence from the story to support points.

7dominoes
To play dominoes with a partner, each player counts their 20 domino cards to ensure they have a full set. Starting with the designated start card, players take turns matching one of their card's ends to the previous card's open end, arranging terms and definitions. The game ends when the finish card is played, and players check their answers with the teacher before completing a worksheet on film definitions.
Assessing the inquiry
Students will present their inquiry projects at a science fair. Before the fair, students must name their inquiry and be assigned two other projects to assess. At the fair, students will set up their project and have time to prepare any physical or digital components. They will then assess the two projects assigned by the teacher, providing feedback on how well the projects communicate their content and ideas, the accuracy of the information, creativity, and strengths and areas for improvement. After assessing other projects, students will evaluate their own inquiry based on peer feedback.
Individual oral
The document discusses an individual oral assessment for a language course that is worth 10% of the coursework grade. It instructs students to form groups to analyze and discuss the criteria for either an A* or B grade on the assessment. The groups will brainstorm what each criteria means and provide examples to then share with the class.
Essential questions
The document provides guidance on creating effective essential questions to guide research. It explains that essential questions should be open-ended, meaningful to the researcher, and aim to develop higher-level thinking skills like analysis, synthesis and evaluation rather than just comprehension. Some tips are considering what is already known, making sure the question isn't something that can be easily answered, and testing questions using a "Plus, Minus, Interesting" table. Effective questions cues include words like "explain", "compare", and "assess" and ask the researcher to make connections across areas of knowledge.
Essential questions

It explains that essential questions should be open-ended, meaningful to the researcher, and aim to develop higher-level thinking skills like analysis, synthesis and evaluation rather than just comprehension. Some examples of question cues and questions are given for each thinking skill. Researchers should start by considering what they already know about the topic before crafting questions they want to find answers to through research.
Choosing a challenge
The document provides guidance for students to choose an inquiry challenge on which to focus. It suggests choosing a topic that interests the student but that they don't already know a lot about. Some example challenges are given, such as investigating themes in Shakespeare's works, tracking the evolution of a language over time, or examining how a particular genre portrays women and what this reveals about society. Students are then instructed to brainstorm ideas in their journal based on topics they found interesting during previous activities before formulating their own inquiry challenge question. The document concludes by noting that students will present their findings to peers.
Year 10 introduction
This document provides students with information about their Year 10 English course, which will focus on developing language and literature skills. It outlines the modules, exams, and coursework requirements. Students are instructed to set up a structured computer folder system to organize their English work. The first unit asks students to consider why language and literature are studied and how they personally connect to these areas. They will complete introductory activities and stations before developing an individual or group inquiry project related to language and literature.
Section B Coursework
This document provides an overview of an activity aimed at defining and analyzing the concept of courage through examining passages from five texts. Students will be assigned to expert groups to closely read and annotate one of the texts. They will analyze what type of courage is portrayed, by whom, and how. Afterwards, the groups will reconvene and share their findings on the depictions of courage in each text. Students will also evaluate the pros, cons, and connections between the texts to determine which one or two they will focus on for a coursework analysis assignment.
Jealousy
The document discusses different instances of jealousy experienced by characters in Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress. The narrator feels jealousy when he learns that the Little Chinese Seamstress has chosen Luo over him. The miller is jealous of Luo and the seamstress' youth while watching them play. The narrator and Luo are kept awake with envy, wondering who will be the first to be released from the re-education camps.
Context carisse
The document provides context and summaries for Arthur Miller's play "A View from the Bridge". It discusses the play's setting in an Italian immigrant community in Brooklyn in the 1950s, and how the characters represent different generations and values relating to tradition, independence, and the American Dream. Key characters like Eddie, Catherine, Marco, and Beatrice are introduced along with their roles and how they embody tensions between old and new ways.
A view from a bridge
Alfieri serves as both a character and a chorus in the play. As a lawyer, he deals with the legal troubles of the poor immigrants in his community. He is observant of human nature and foreshadows the tragic conclusion of the story. As a chorus, he comments on and frames the action for the audience. Alfieri recognizes the inevitability of the situation but feels powerless to change it, as the problems stem from deeper issues around codes of honor, justice, and the clash of old and new worlds.
Esf ict cpd day
This document provides information about setting up online learning environments and recommends several useful websites.

Several applications that enable interaction between Apple devices are also mentioned. The rest of the document recommends and provides links to various educational websites for creating games, guiding research, making word clouds, collecting student ideas, using visual thesauruses, student blogging, making crosswords and flashcards, and practicing recordings.
Balzac minor characters
The document summarizes several minor characters from the novel Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Ha Jin. It describes Four-Eyes, who introduces the main characters to Western literature and humorously shows the flaws of the Cultural Revolution. The Old Miller provides context and contrasts with the Village Headman. The Village Headman conveys the transformative power of literature and oppression during the Cultural Revolution. The Tailor and Four-Eyes' Mum also highlight issues and find ways around the Cultural Revolution's restrictions. Quotes from the novel are provided for each character.
Luo
Luo is characterized as audacious based on his bold actions and tricks, such as sliding back the hands of a clock and confidently making love against a tree trunk. He sees himself as superior, especially to women, and punches his friend without provocation. However, he is also susceptible to disease, falling ill with malaria and suffering from fever. The narrative contains symbolic moments that seem to foreshadow future events, such as Luo losing his keys in a pool and later burning books in a bonfire.
Power of literature
This document summarizes the theme and significance of literature as explored in the story "Power of Literature". It discusses how literature allows the characters to experience different worlds and encourages daring actions. Specific books like Count of Monte Cristo and Ursule Mirouet are mentioned for their transformative effects on the characters. Several quotes from the story are presented to show how literature profoundly impacted the lives and perspectives of the characters.
Marco and rodolpho
Rodolpho is a young Italian man who works as a cook and singer. He dreams of becoming an American citizen and owning a motorcycle. He is in a relationship with Catherine, which causes tension with her overprotective brother Eddie. Eddie accuses Rodolpho of only wanting citizenship, not truly loving Catherine. Marco is Rodolpho's brother and father figure who wishes to return to Italy for his family but remains in America to earn money. He is protective yet polite, and his sense of honor contributes to the climax between him and Eddie.
Honour
The document discusses the theme of honor in Arthur Miller's play "A View From the Bridge". It explores how honor is very important to the male characters, more so than the law, and how taking it too seriously can be destructive. It introduces the character of Vinny Bolzano, who did something wrong and got what he deserved, foreshadowing Eddie's similar actions later in the play. Eddie refuses to admit his love for Catherine because it would be dishonorable, and refuses to admit betraying Marco and Rodolpho when Marco believes the only honorable recourse is to punish Eddie.
Catherine presentation
Catherine is Beatrice's niece who lives with her. She is described as aesthetically pleasing and naïve. Catherine wants to get a job but Eddie does not approve. Rodolpho is attracted to her but Eddie is possessive and sees Rodolpho as stealing Catherine from him. Catherine develops feelings for Rodolpho but struggles with Eddie's demands.
Balzac and the little chinese seamstress' context
The document discusses key concepts and events from the novel Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Saloni Dattani. It summarizes the novel's portrayal of Communism, Chairman Mao and the Little Red Book, rural China under Communist programs, the Cultural Revolution, and the re-education process where Chinese youth were sent to the countryside. The summary provides high-level context on these topics and uses short quotes from the novel to illustrate the impressions they give within the story.
Avftb love pres df
The document analyzes the theme of love in A View from the Bridge in several forms: father-daughter love between Eddie and Catherine, brotherly love between Rodolpho and Marco, Eddie's unnatural incestuous love for Catherine, the romantic love between Catherine and Rodolpho, married love between Eddie and Beatrice, love of family and place. Love is the cause of conflict between the characters and leads to tragedy.
