The document provides instructions for writing a DBQ (Document Based Question) essay. It explains that a DBQ essay requires an introductory thesis paragraph and uses evidence from documents provided to support the thesis. It notes that outside information from the student's broader knowledge is also required to comprise the majority of the essay. The document advises students to read, analyze, and group the documents by position before incorporating them into the essay in a way that illustrates and proves the thesis, rather than just quoting the documents directly.

English 102: Literary Research Paper
I. DEFINING THE RESEARCH PAPER
A literary research paper--unlike a research paper on abortion or euthanasia--focuses on critically
analyzing/interpreting the meaning of literature. What's more, the term "research" implies that you will be
incorporating research from reputable secondary sources into your paper. In short, you will be
analyzing/interpreting a piece (or several pieces) of literature and supporting your analysis with
"research."
The research paper must be at least eight (8) pages in length, and it must adhere to MLA standards and
guidelines. Further, you must include a minimum of seven (7) sources in your paper, six (6) of which must
be considered "secondary sources" (explained below), and it must include a "Works Cited" page.
II. GETTING STARTED
Your first step in writing the research paper is to decide which author (or authors) you would like to write
about. You are required to make your selection(s) from the authors we have discussed this
semester, although you are more than welcome to find texts from your chosen author(s) that were not
included on the syllabus.
After you have decided which author (or authors) you are interested in writing about, you need to decide
which texts to include in your discussion; this may change as the paper progresses, but you should begin
with a clear idea of which texts you would like to include in your analysis.
The next and most obvious step in the process is to read and then reread--several times--the text or texts
you have chosen. In order to say something meaningful about a text, you need to know it backward and
forward. As one critic relates, you need to "have a sure sense of what the work itself is like, how its parts
function, what ideas it expresses, how it creates particular effects, and what your responses are." In short,
read, reread, and then when you think you are done, read some more.
After you are comfortable with your knowledge of the text (or texts), the next step is to develop an angle
of analysis. In other words, you need to decide how you want to approach and organize your paper.
There are several different ways to organize a literary research paper, but more likely than not you will
want to adopt one of the following organizing principles:
A. Literary Elements: A research paper that is organized around literary elements generally
includes a focused discussion on one or more of the following: setting, speaker, symbolism, irony,
imagery, tone, language, etc.
B. Themes: A research paper that is organized around a theme, such as death, life, love, race,
gender, class, cultural identity, etc., generally includes a focused discussion on the role a
particular theme plays in several pieces of literature.
C. Critical Approaches: Whether you knew it or not, you adopted a specific approach to analyzing
literature in both of the essays you wrote for class, namely a "formalist" approach to

Paper Instructions Paper 1 is your first attempt at an argumen.docxaman341480
Paper Instructions
Paper 1 is your first attempt at an argumentative essay. It is exactly that, an attempt. You have already familiarized your self with our secondary source, the Yawp. In this paper, you will also analyze at least 2 primary sources and combine these elements to form one cohesive essay. This paper, like all of the remaining papers, requires that you interpret primary source evidence in a historical context, drawing from the assigned course readings as your secondary source.
· Your paper must be 900-1200 words.
· Times 12 pt font DOUBLE SPACED 1" margins
· approx. 3-4 pages NOT including bibliography
· Chicago-style footnote citations
· Chicago-style Bibliography on separate page
· Review for errors of spelling and grammar—this is a formal written report! I recommend using the advanced spelling and grammar check functions in your word processor of choice
PROMPT
How and why do the authors of the two primary sources differ or relate to each other in their views of African American political participation and voting in the 1880s? Furthermore, if so, what does this reveal about American society and politics in the 1880s?
Both the authors of the Report of the Select Committee and Philip Bruce believed that the future of American democracy depended on whether or not African Americans participated in the political process. Their agreement ended there. What does the contrast between these two perspectives reveal about America in the 1880s?
Note that this question does not ask you to evaluate which of the two documents you agree with, nor does it ask you to evaluate whether either document is reliable or biased. Both documents are reliable sources of evidence about what their authors thought at the time, and both authors have biases and underlying assumptions. Your task is to explain how these two contrasting perspectives— with two very different sets of underlying assumptions—emerged from the same historical context in the 1870s and 1880s.
HISTORY PAPER ORGANIZATION
Your paper must include an introduction, several distinctbody paragraphs, and a conclusion.
Your introduction should not begin with an overly broad, general statement, but instead should introduce the specific time, place, and topic you are writing about. Do not assume that your reader knows anything about the history you are describing. Your introduction provides necessary context for the reader that informs your paper of how the issue that you will discuss in your thesis came to be. Good historical introductions do not need catchy hooks or buzzwords. You should really be introducing the reader to the historical causes of your thesis. Also, please be mindful that for this class, you should not be using footnotes in the introduction, as you have nothing to prove until you have revealed your thesis. The last sentence or sentences of you introduction must be your thesis. Your thesis must directly answer the prompt and also provide groupings of evidence that will previe.
Freedom in America Paper Assignment Step 1 Pick a topic. WhSusanaFurman449
Freedom in America Paper Assignment
Step 1:
Pick a topic. What topic are you most interested in pertaining to this course? What is a topic you would be interested in writing a paper on? Your topic should not be too broad. For example, the Harlem Renaissance, is too broad. Focusing on a specific cause of the downfall of Reconstruction is a possible topic.
Step 2:
Research the internet and the library for primary sources, or first hand accounts of documents that relate to your topic. Analyze at least
at least ONE
primary source for your paper, you may use more than 1, but you must use at least 1.
Step 3:
Analyze.
When analyzing your document, thoroughly scrutinize the document, what it says, and the argument. Look through “
Guidelines for Analyzing a Primary Source
” (below) to help you come up with a complete analysis of your primary source(s).
Step 4:
Choose at least 4 books and/or articles
from the library or online journals from the library’s online databases. For journal articles, go to UD’s Library database section. For the databases section, articles on U.S. History can be found through Jstor and Project Muse.
*Do not use any encyclopedia sources or the class readings as a
secondary
source. If you use a website, it must be approved by the Instructor. You may use them as a reference, but these do not count towards your secondary sources.
Step 5:
Make sure you have a
thesis
statement
. This is the most important sentence in your paper. The thesis should be located in the first paragraph of your paper. The statement should be
concise
and not too broad. A thesis is the argument or point of view for your paper. It is something that you and someone else can
debate
. Your thesis statement should start out by stating something such as “This paper argues that...” The thesis statement is the statement that guides you throughout the paper. All of your main ideas should connect to your thesis statement.
1
Step 6:
Write your paper! Keep in mind the following:
1) Papers must be typewritten, double-spaced in 12 pt font, and 1-inch margins. Papers should be at least
5 full pages plus a Works Cited page (6 total)
and include an introduction, body, and conclusion.
2) You should have a well-articulated
thesis
. Formulate a central theme that links the primary source document(s) together and connects them to the secondary sources--the books and/or articles you use..
3) Use the "Guidelines for Analyzing Primary Sources" below as a guide. You do not have to answer every question, but be sure to answer the who/what/where/when/why of the document. Describe the audience for this document. Then move on to your own analysis....
4) Analyze your documents. What do they tell you about the cultures that created these stories? How do they enhance our knowledge beyond the course readings and material? Can you discern any deeper meanings beyond what is just on the page? What were the motivations for crea ...

Literary Research Paper
I. Defining the Research Paper
A literary research paper—unlike a research paper on gun control or the legalization of marijuana—focuses on critically analyzing/interpreting the meaning of literature. What’s more, the term “research” implies that you will be incorporating research from reputable secondary sources into your paper. In short, you will be analyzing/interpreting a piece (or several pieces) of literature and supporting your analysis with “research.” Of course, this also means that if "gun control" or "marijuana's legality" are issues related to something we've read, then they are fair game! For instance, I had a psychology major write her paper on stalking and obsession in Joyce Carol Oates' "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been" for her research paper and it was excellent. She used her psych textbook as one of her sources! I also had a student do a research paper on domestic violence in the early 20th Century African American community, which he tied in to the Hurston readings. It was great! So really think of what interests you in the stories and go from there.
The research paper must be at least eight (8)-ten (10) pages in length, and it must adhere to MLA standards and guidelines. You must include (that means read) at least five (5)-seven (7) secondary sources that will appear on your Works Cited page.
Furthermore, you must pass the research paper with a grade of “C-” or higher to pass Eng102.
II. Getting Started
Your first step in writing the research paper is to decide which author(s)/text(s) you would like to write about.
Texts/Authors to choose from:
1. "Araby" and "Eveline" by James Joyce
2.
“Where Are You Going? Where Have You Been?” by Joyce Carol Oates
3.
“Harrison Bergeron" by Kurt Vonnegut
4.
"Those Who Walk Away From Omelas" by Ursula K. LeGuin
5.
"
The Bloody Chamber
" "The Courtship of Mr Lyon" and "The Tiger's Bride" by Angela Carter
6. Selected Short Stories by Donald Barthelme
("The School," "The Game," "Some of Us Have Been Threatening Our Friend Colby," "Me and Miss Mandible," "The Glass Mountain," "The City of Churches")
7.
"The Gilded Six-Bits" and "Sweat" by Zora Neale Hurston
8.
"A Good Man is Hard to Find" by Flannery O'Connor
9. "The Mark on the Wall," "Kew Gardens" and/or "A Room of One's Own" by Virginia Woolf
10. "Lost in the Funhouse," John Barth
11. Lorrie Moore short stories
12.
Poetry: Any of the poems that we read for class from the following poets: cummings, Jarrell, Roethke, Brooks, Collins, Kinnell, Langston Hughes, Bogan, Kumin, Frost, etc.
The next and most obvious step in the process is to read and then reread the text or texts you have chosen. In order to say something meaningful about the text, you need to know it inside out! The next step is to develop an angle of analysis. In other words, you need to decide how you want to organize your paper. There are several different ways to organize a literar.
FOUR-STAGE Term Paper Assignment35 of your final course grade.docxhanneloremccaffery
FOUR-STAGE Term Paper Assignment
35% of your final course grade, i.e.,
15% (for Stages 1-3) and 20% (for Stage 4)!
READ VERY CAREFULLY ALL OF THE FOLLOWING IMPORTANT DIRECTIONS (ROMAN NUMERALS I-V) AND THEN RE-READ AND FOLLOW THEM—RELIGIOUSLY!
I.EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Students are required to submit a 2000-word research paper, limited to the critical review of two major sources. Papers must be submitted on time to receive full credit. Late papers will be lowered one-third of a complete letter grade for each day they are submitted past the due date (thus, a “B+” paper submitted one day after the due date will be lowered to a “B”, a “B” paper that is two days late would merit a “C+,” and so forth). If you think you will have problems with any aspect of writing this paper, I strongly recommend that you make an appointment at the University’s Writing Center.
I. SUMMARY FROM THE SYLLABUS:
[“Writing and Submission of Major Paper”]
The term paper / research paper for this course must be prepared in advance of the final weeks of the semester. It is assigned in FOUR stages so that you can manage this highly important assignment (35 percent of your final grade in the course!). You must complete this assignment to pass the class. After all: if you aren’t writing, you probably aren’t thinking—much less learning!
The final draft of the term paper (stage 4) must be submitted via the Blackboard link to turnitin.com. All papers and writing assignments must include an MLA-style “Works Cited” list and must use parenthetical citations whenever you make reference to your sources (no matter whether you are quoting from, paraphrasing, or summarizing them).
Please read carefully all of the handouts about writing the term paper (or “research paper”) for a detailed guide to how grades are determined on this assignment – and others. Writing is graded primarily on the basis of content, organization, and how clearly you communicate your ideas. However, to communicate clearly, you also need to use proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, concision, and so forth. Finally, I strongly recommend that each and every one of you make an appointment with the University’s Writing Center.
III. THE FOUR STAGES IN DETAIL
STAGE 1) TERM PAPER TOPIC PROPOSAL
(i.e., “POSING A GOOD RESEARCH QUESTION”): You will have to examine carefully your own interests within the subject area of “The New Testament” in order to come up with a research question that truly motivates youpersonally (and not necessarily Brenner)! At the same time, the question should not be too belief-based, too bland, or too broad – the latter implying that you can address the question in approximately 2000 words or more.
Hence, the “deliverable” – what you turn in for this first stage -- is a brief statement (using at least THREE complete sentences) of your provisional/working research question. There is no need to have a provisional/working thesis (i.e., answer) at all at this stage…

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
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.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
