Process Analysis/Reflection: Consider your strengths and weaknesses as a writer when you began English 111. Think about what you learned over the semester and what skills you will use in future coursework and beyond. Write a 3-5 page paper that analyzes your writing process and yourself as a writer. Your response must be in block letter format, using headings for clarity.

This assignment is for you to present an entertaining speech.  Please select one of the following types for your presentation:  motivational or inspirational speech, present a tribute to a person, a group an institution, or an event or give a toast or wedding speech.  This assignment is worth 75 points of your grade. It must be 2-3 minutes in length.  Points are deducted for going under or over this time limit. No outline, visual aid or sources/references are required.

Your job is to produce a wisely selective on Volume 12 of The Yellow Book and its contents, literary and artistic, its authors, the editorial team and cover art (NOTE: Aubrey Beardsley left/was kicked off at a certain point – it’s your job to explain when, why, how), and anything else you consider noteworthy. You will ALSO be responsible for discussing at least 2-3 works more specifically, and giving some analytical justification as to why you would argue they require special attention. FINALLY, your report should include some discussion of the material condition of the volume: are the pages all cut? (which tells you whether it’s actually been read), is it torn or discolored or “foxed” in any way, what does the paper look like? And so on. Your written report should be at least FOUR double-spaced pages of your own writing, a copy of the full table of contents, and include at least three additional scanned or photographed openings (i.e. two facing pages) of the volume you choose.  You should provide all publication information about the volume (date, editor, etc.) and give a narrative (i.e. essay-form) account of its contents. You will employ your existing skills as a close reader to discuss selected content (story, poem, etching, etc); you will find that those same skills apply when it comes to reporting on the condition of the volume itself.

Make and defend a complex, arguable thesis that integrates some clearly identified concern common to Alain Badiou’s Ethics: An Essay on the Understanding of Evil and one of the following four texts:              (3) Arendt, “Civil Disobedience” You may think about Badiou’s text in terms of chapter units. You do not have to cover all of Ethics, but you do have to work with at least two complete chapters. How you choose to frame your argument is up to you. You may want to consider the various ways in which the take home final framed your examination of multiple texts. However you frame your project, be sure that your argument is clearly developed in the opening section of the paper—before you begin the work of analyzing either of the texts in the particular. Your thesis must be complex, arguable, and clearly stated (rather than merely suggested). A portion of your grade will depend solely on the strength of your guiding thesis. Once you’ve made your argument, you must find a way to persuasively analyze both texts in defense of that claim. Every passage you look at must clearly elucidate some aspect of your initial claim. Be sure that your thesis and your body paragraphs are clearly making the same argument. Because you are dealing with two texts here, it is crucial that your topic sentences clearly highlight the argument of the coming paragraph, its relation to the paragraph that came before, and/or its place in the paper’s broader thesis. You must be judicious about which passages to include and where to place them. Nothing you argue will be convincing unless you find a way to show the reader how you’ve arrived at your claim. And since no outside material (informational, historical, theoretical or analogous) will be considered, all you have to work with here is the texts themselves. The essay will be a balancing act between your assertions of broad, interconnected claims, and your ability to prove those claims on the local level. You will be expected to have a clear understanding of both texts’ overall arguments, and you will need to be sure that your specific claims are commensurable with each author’s larger project. Any paper that does not demonstrate a commanding knowledge of both the texts AND does not sufficiently work with the texts themselves AND does not put that work to service in defense of a clear (though complex) thesis, will not receive a passing grade. The essay must be 4-6 pages in length (Times New Roman 12, MLA format).

Directions:  Select a problem you wish to explore and narrow it to a limited subject.  Devise a clear thesis about that problem. Your essay may be predominately factual, or it may aim to persuade your audience to do something.  Consider carefully who your intended audience is and why they may want or need the information you provide. There should be a clear purpose.  Reflect on the two essays you read this module: Ericson and Lutz had clear thesis statements and purposes. This essay must use classification and division.  Be sure to use clear definitions and concrete examples in each division, and, like the last paper, use at least two of the four kinds of examples we have been discussing (personal, hypothetical, typical or general). You should aim for 5 divisions (less than four will be marked incomplete) and think carefully about why you choose the ones do and why you have organized them as you have. Each division must support the essay’s thesis. To organize your essay, select a clear organization pattern:  common to uncommon, minor problem to major effects, chronological, and so forth.  Use headings. Like the last paper, you must incorporate two college-level secondary sources of information such as definitions from a peer reviewed source (not a general dictionary), statistics, surveys or expert opinion and accurately credit these sources in the body of your essay using MLA documentation. This is your second essay using MLA documentation.  You should be able to use MLA correctly (at least most of the time). Any essay with major deviations (or lack of MLA) will be marked incomplete and sent back to you for revision. Your essay must be approximately 3 pages long (not including works cited).  Keep in mind, if you have five or six divisions, it is likely that your paper may be longer. This is ok. Be sure to edit your paper carefully before turning it in.  Mechanical errors (spelling, grammar, formatting) count, so strive to avoid them.  TOPIC – COVID-19 HOW IT EFFECTS THE ECONOMY USE THIS IN ESSAY – Problem statement:  Covid-19 has had an effect on nearly everyone one is some way.  One of the most pressing ways is how it has affected our economy.  Due to Covid, workers have lost their jobs, production is down and companies are going out of business, and those who do have jobs have seen reduced hours.  The result is that people are spending less and this affects the economy as a whole.
