Mapping of “Compassion” Map out what the word “compassion” might “look,” “sound,” or “feel”  like with a collection of pictures, audio or video using PPT or Google Slide. Use either program based on any previous experiences, training or learning you received. You may identify and borrow any ideas you shared or wrote about in Assignment #1. For helpful resources on how to use either PowerPoint or Google Slide, see: -“How to use PowerPoint” by HubSpot (click) -”Google Slides – The Complete Beginner’s Overview” by Flipped Classroom Tutorials (click) I am kindly asking for a total of 5-8  slides. No more than 10 slides, please. Please be mindful of the following areas, as I will be paying close attention to these things when looking at your completed slide: Focus & Clarity Organization & fluidity of content Relevance & engagement with compassion & Assignment #1 Control over content, language and style. Tips:  -Don’t try to show or write too much on one slide; think about the spacing and flow of your overall slide(s); -Sometimes having brief wording below any pictures or images is helpful; -It helps to give sub-headings or titles with each slide, especially if you are referring to different sources -Let your audience know where they can receive or access any source you provide as a way to show academic integrity.

This is a personal paper.  In other words, you may use the “I.” Always capitalize the I, and own your experiences.  For example, there is no need to generalize them by using the general “you.”  Avoid the “you,” as in:  You like Christmas because that is the time when every single member of your family comes together. This is your personal experience, not others’!   TOPIC: Think of a possession that is valuable to you mostly because its associations, i.e. it links you in some way to a person, an event, or a dear memory.  Note:  I prefer that you do not write about an object like your iphone, or your car, which you value mostly for its utility. You might then end up listing conveniences that are predictable, and that all of us share.  Your introduction will begin with a ‘hook’ sentence, and then give the what, who, when, where, of your possession.  You will end in a thesis statement which is your claim about the significance of this possession.  For example, a thesis like, “My wooden carving of a mountain lion reminds me, not only of my Mexican grandfather, but also of the precious summers I spent on his farm,” invites detailed descriptions of your grandfather and your memories on his farm.  However, a thesis like this, “My carved wolf holds precious memories,” is too vague and general.  If you are left with questions like ‘what kind of memories’?  or who, in particular does it remind you of? your thesis is too general and thereby invites generalized comments. Organize your paper as follow: Introduction: 5 – 6 lines, ending in a thesis statement. Descriptive paragraphs of the object, the person, place, event, etc. Analytical paragraphs of the significance of these memories – how they shaped you, changed you, impacted you, advanced your growth, etc. etc. For organization, please refer to the Basic Essay Format file  under Writing Guides on Modules and also the link above for organizing an academic essay.  Every paragraph should begin with a topic sentence and then give details of, and only of, that particular topic.

This discussion board focuses on the concept of primary vs. secondary sources. In this class, you will be asked to write a research paper based on primary source material. “Primary” sources have a direct, firsthand relationship to the topic and this term is different than what we mean by “reliable” sources. A reliable source may be trustworthy, but the author of that source has a secondary relationship to the topic. For example: A tweet by the director of the Environmental Protection Agency is a primary source about US environmental policy. A study or set of data published by the EPA or located on the EPA website is also a primary source. A newspaper article about the report or the tweet would be a secondary source; the news reporter does not work for the EPA, did not collect the data, and was not the firsthand source of either the data/report or the EPA social media account.  Therefore, we would not use the newspaper article as a primary source; the tweet and the EPA report are primary, so we would use those sources. Another way primary sources differ is that they may be biased, and that’s ok. You will be looking for sources to support your argument and acknowledging bias along the way. A paper that focuses on the environmental impact of fast fashion can use the websites of fast fashion retailers (H&M, Zara, Forever21, etc.) as well as websites of companies like American Apparel as primary sources. You don’t want to get all your information from biased or corporate websites, of course, but it is vital to get facts and details for the paper from primary rather than secondary sources. Newspapers, news websites, and news broadcasts (including The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Huffington Post, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc.) may be perfectly reliable, but they are secondary sources. They are not primary and should not be used for the research paper you will write in this class. 1. Read this page and then complete the tutorial. 2. On the discussion board, answer the following prompt: How is the concept of primary vs. secondary sources different than the concept of reliable vs. unreliable sources?  What is your level of comfort with using sources such as like tweets, TEDx talks, corporate websites, legal documents, academic journals, and peer-reviewed studies in place of news sources? After posting a thread of 1-2 paragraphs, reply (3-4 sentences) to at least 2 classmates with one or more of the following ideas: What did you learn from this post, or what unique/new perspective did it bring? How do you relate to what the author shared? What questions or comments do you have? You must start a thread before you can read and reply to other threads

For the first out of class essay, students will compose a 1,200 minimum word essay in MLA format. Any essay that does not reach the 1,200-word count will not be able to receive a grade above a 69 percent. The essay will also require a work cited page with the textbook cited. The expository essay should reflect the basic fundamentals of argumentation and the chapters we have covered thus far. We have read multiple chapters on the development of moral behavior, which can be interpreted as how individuals decide to behave. Option 1: What Defines You: We have read a lot about morality and the various reasons a superhero decides his/her moral behavior. Choose one of the various philosophical reasons why individuals decide to be moral and create an argument why you model your moral behavior after this. Support your selection by analyzing the reason why you follow this moral code. In other words, where did this come from? Also, what has motivated you to stick to this particular moral code? Option 2: Define A Hero: Our text has provided us with various examples of superheroes, where they come from, and what shaped their moral code. We also read how intelligence seemed to be last attribute when comic writers were coming up with the personality makeup of their superheroes. Construct an argument in which you define and argue what makes a hero. Assist the reader to understand your definition of a hero by providing examples. You are welcome to use a mash up of various current superheroes to support your argument. Please keep in mind that we read that the Congressional hearing of 1954 forced comic writers to follow the Comic Code (chapter 12), and this is why many classic comic heroes follow the moral compass that they do. Consider whether your definition of hero will follow any of the various guidelines of morality when constructing your argument.

I have to write a rhetorical analysis essay on the article My name is not those people by Julia Dinsmore

Part of developing a message is considering the audience that will receive your message. Discuss who the audience is, the size and demographic of the members, their stakes in your problem and solution, expectations and preferences, and their potential reaction to your proposal. Include a discussion of how this might impact your message, and provide relevant examples in your discussion. In response to peers, discuss whether you agree with the analysis of the audience and how this would impact the delivery of the message.
