Final Individual Writing Assignment for Unit 3

This is a two-part assignment that can be submitted all together in one document.

PART 1: Job Application Packet

Step 1:
First, find a job description or advertisement for a position that interests you. This should be a REAL JOB advertised on a company’s website or through employment websites like Monster.com or Indeed.com. You might choose a job you’re qualified for now, or you might choose an internship or apprenticeship program to pursue in a year or so.

[NOTE: if you prepare your documents for a position you want in the future, BE SURE to date your letter for that time.]

Don’t forget to SAVE a copy of the job description.
Read the ad carefully so you understand the rhetorical situation . Who’s your primary audience? What does this employer want? Can you show you are the best candidate for this job? Will you need references?

Step 2:
Prepare a résumé that outlines your education, experience, and other qualifications. Your résumé should be tailored to this position, demonstrating why your combination of skills make you the best candidate. Don’t include information that isn’t relevant for the position.

Step 3:
Prepare a cover letter (or letter of application) addressed to an appropriate point of contact. Your letter should follow standard formatting guidelines, avoid errors in grammar and mechanics, and adopt an appropriate tone. Show convincing proof of your qualifications and tailor your experience to the job.
As you revise your job application packet, ask yourself:
Have I provided convincing proof of my experience and qualifications?
Have I tailored my experience and qualifications to this position?
Is it clear why I’m the best candidate? Do I show interest in the position?
Do I fall into or stiff, overly formal language or language that inappropriate slang/informal language?
Have I addressed any “red flags” in my résumé, like gaps in employment?

PART 2: Writing Skills in Your Career Field

Step 1:
What career do you imagine for yourself after you finish college, or what would your ideal career be after you graduate? Even if you haven’t declared a specific major, choose a field that you think you might be interested in working in.

Step 2:
Once you decide on a career field, do research to answer these questions, “what kind of writing will you need to do in your career? How are writing skills important in your career field?”
Find three reputable sources and use information from those sources to write an essay of at least 800 words including the Works Cited page to provide advice about the writing skills and types of writing in this career to other people interested in pursuing the career.

Comparative essay assignment

This is a comparative essay assignment where you have to compare 2 things I would like you to compare either 2- movies or 2-anime or a book and a movie and before you start could you please tell me the two things you will be comparing so I can tell you if its ok or to change it

This is a example introduction to one of these comparative essay given to me by my teacher

Compare the ways in which Elie Wiesel and Ang Lee present the journey of survival in ‘Night’ and ‘Life of Pi’.

Survival is the act of maintaining life throughout an unusual time of strife. Survival stories transcend time and place, where classic survival stories have shaped the definition of survival in today’s world. Survival, therefore, is an important aspect of literature, allowing audiences to connect and understand different human experiences and harness new interests. This is displayed throughout both the movie Life of Pi, directed by Ang Lee, and the novel, Night, by Eli Wiesel. Within Life of Pi, the protagonist, Pi, experiences a shipwreck, in which he becomes stranded on a lifeboat with a tiger. His religious passion, caring human nature, and strong survival instincts guide him to survival, unlocking new levels of human assiduity as his survival journey progresses. Similarly, in Night, the protagonist Eli, a Holocaust survivor, describes his journey throughout concentration camps. His extraordinary, surreal journey of survival proves both the physical and emotional strength of human beings. Though both pieces explore one’s journey of survival, the different ways in which human beings adapt and persevere proves that everyone’s journey of survival varies and is unique to one’s resilience."

Summarize what you have learned in Bejan’s article about the definition, history, and evolution of the following terms and their relationships to each other: isegoria, parrhesia, logos, and demokratia. In your conclusion, speculate on how these concepts might further evolve.

Write a 750-word post about how Zombieland shows the importance of empathy and companionship during a plague—or in this case, “the United States of Zombieland.” Pick a scene and analyze its meaning.

Zombieland (2009) Directed by Ruben Fleischer

Write a 750-word post about how Zombieland shows the importance of empathy and companionship during a plague—or in this case, “the United States of Zombieland.” Pick a scene and analyze its meaning. There are plenty of scenes that show the need for empathy and companionship, so only two people maximum can analyze the same scene. If you’ve seen Zombieland: Double Tap, feel free to analyze that as well. If you’d like, relate the plague in either of these movies to your experience during the pandemic, although this is not required. Use time stamps as citations

Expand and diversify your research. Use at least 4 clearly definable genres of sources. Refer to pp. 266-9 in the Bedford Handbook for question prompts and ideas on “key features”.

Annotated Bibliography

For this assignment, you will compile and compose an annotated bibliography using the topic from this semester with an eye toward representing all your research in our class. You should already have some of this work done, but you will surely need to do additional analysis and revision. What is important to consider is that, when building texts such as an annotated bibliography, you are establishing your place in the conversation and developing a personal academic legacy.

Guides to Invention
-Expand and diversify your research. You are required to use at least 4 clearly definable genres of sources.
-Refer to pp. 266-9 in the Bedford Handbook for question prompts and ideas on “key features”.
-Build from material collected in previous “Works Cited” pages, research logs, notes, etc.
-Be aware that the example entry in our textbook expands upon the “key features.” Your submission will need to do the same.
-Allow for creativity in your analysis of these sources. This will help your presentation.

Things to Remember
-Each summation of a source must contain the same elements, such as “purpose for including”
-Each citation MUST reflect the correct genre requirements as presented in the Bedford Handbook “List of MLA Works Cited” section
-Each entry, page, and submission will reflect the conventions of the genre while also displaying personal style and function

What I Expect
-Full genre-specific citation and paragraph-length analysis for TEN sources (4 genres)
-Full and correct MLA formatting
-Grammar and mechanics conventions upheld
-Document to be backed up by the author
-The final draft will need to respond to any revision suggestions by Mr.C

Letter to the Editor Outline (5%)

*Started in class July 13 and due on Blackboard July 20. Use 3 distinct sources from George Brown’s library For the Letter to the Editor assignment you will craft an essay in the form of a letter to the editor to The Dialog, George Brown’s student newspaper. In it, you will make an argument about any issue in the fashion industry that you are concerned about. You will use logos, pathos, and ethos and other persuasive strategies you have learned in class (specific details, sensory appeals) to convince your readers.

Important: Do not write on this document without making your own copy first; otherwise, you will be filling in your own words on everyone’s template :)

**Everything is in point form except for the thesis statement and any quotations (no more than 3 direct quotations total in the Letter to the Editor; the rest of your evidence should be paraphrased)- this is not a draft, so do not include full paragraphs in your outline.
Writing full paragraphs in the outline will result in losing marks as it defeats the purpose of outlining.
Introduction (click http://dialognews.ca/contact/ for the information you need for this first bit!)

Newspaper Name
Newspaper Address
Date
Introduction
Lead readers in, but do not overdo it. Avoid a clichéd hook.

recycled clothes we don’t want to the Global South.
