Consider your predictions for what you thought you’d find. Were you right or did you have to revise your predictions?

/in /by

This assignment calls for you to consider your work so far (the 2 pdf’s below) and to connect that work to something you’ve read throughout the semester.

Think back to the beginning of the semester when you first chose the Issue of Public Concern you’d write about.
Do you think you chose the right topic?
If you had to do it again would you change your topic?

Consider the Focused Question Paper that extended your understanding of the Issue of Public Concern you chose.
Do you think the question you developed was strong? If you had to re-write your question to make the organization and writing stronger, how might you do it?
Consider your predictions for what you thought you’d find. Were you right or did you have to revise your predictions?
Were you surprised by what you found/learned about your topic?
Did you find yourself leaning more towards one side/school of thought of your controversial topic? Do you think this bias affected the way you wrote your paper?

Overall:
What do you know now about the topic or yourself after having completed the paper that you didn’t know before?
What questions do you still have?
Step 2/Connect (4-5 paragraphs):

Use what you’ve learned in your research and writing and connect it to something you read this semester, either in class or out. The reading should be an article from a reputable news or academic source (i.e., NYTimes, an academic journal, Opposing Viewpoints Database or something we read in class).
The reading should not be on the same exact topic that you covered in your writing so far, but should reflect your ability to make a connection between two different topics in some way.
Include a short summary of the article and a rationale for why you chose it.
Use your new understanding of your topic to create a convincing argument that the two topics are related.
Other Requirements:

Length: Three to five pages (if it is not three full pages it is not long enough.)

Paper must be typed and handed in as a hard copy

Double-spaced

Times New Roman 12-point type

1-inch margins (standard)

Excessive grammatical or spelling errors will count against you. Proofread.

Must include at least 1 source from a reputable news agency (MLA Citation)

What does the length of each document say about the nature of the government the constitution is written for?

/in /by

Since this course fulfills the civics and constitutional education requirements for students set forth by the State of Nevada, this assignment focuses on governing documents.

Both the United States and Nevada Constitutions have interesting histories of their own. The national constitution was cobbled together in an effort that began in order to reform the Articles of Confederation. The proposal for an entirely new constitution caught many of the Founding Fathers off guard and debate over the structure and powers to be given to the new government were intense. While the US Constitution was put together during peacetime, there were enormous challenges facing the young republic which manifest themselves in the language of the document. The Nevada Constitution reflects the contemporary history of the country. Nevada was admitted to the Union in 1864, during some of the most tumultuous times in our history, the Civil War.

Despite their different origins, these two governing documents tell us much about the people who wrote them and what their desires and concerns for government were. For the purposes of this paper,  compare and contrast the U.S. and Nevada Constitutions. You should address the following in your narrative:

Briefly discuss the history of each document

What is the purpose of each document?

What does each constitution say about slavery? Why?

What does each constitution say about the right to bear arms? Why?

What does each constitution say about religious freedom? Why?

What does the length of each document say about the nature of the government the constitution is written for?

This research term paper should be between 2000-2200 words in length. It should be double spaced and your sources of information must be cited. The paper should contain a works cited page. You may use either MLA or Turabian in your source citation style.
Both documents are easily accessed online. Just do a web search for US Constitution text or Nevada Constitution text, Alternatively, you can use the links I provide below.

Explain the company’s decisions regarding your employees’ compensation.

/in /by

Complete the writing prompt to experience writing for the Business Field.

For this exercise, imagine that you’re the chief financial office for a company, Music Studio Emporium. Your company has twenty employees, and you’ve been charged with the task of notifying ten of them that they’ll be receiving a 2 percent annual pay increase, effective immediately, based on their sales records. Unfortunately, you must also notify your other ten employees that they will not be receiving raises. Draft a brief memo (of at least 150 words each group) to each group of employees – one for those receiving raises and one for those who aren’t – in which you explain the company’s decisions regarding your employees’ compensation. Feel free to provide additional reasoning for these decisions as you see fit.

Describe for your reader how the advertiser uses logos. Give concrete examples from the ad.

/in /by

Develop a 750-1000 word rhetorical analysis essay on an print advertisement or video commercial of your choice. The ad can be for any product or service that includes all three rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos). Your analysis must also take into consideration the advertiser’s intended audience. An analysis is basically a critical look — you will be assessing what effect the advertiser intends to have on the audience, and whether you feel the advertiser will have the desired effect. Is the attempt to persuade using each rhetorical appeal effective? Or not? Why or why not?

Choose an Advertisement or Commercial

If you have chosen a print ad, provide the image from the ad at the top of your essay, before the title. If you have chosen a commercial, embed the video into your document above the title of your essay.

Essay Development

Your essay will include a clear thesis and well developed key ideas with topic sentences and supporting examples. The essay will also follow the conventional organization of the three elements of introduction, body and conclusion. Follow the paragraph formula below:

Paragraph #1: Introduction and Thesis Statement. The introduction introduces the topic, creates interest for the reader, and provides the thesis. The thesis (or main idea) will address whether you feel the advertisement is persuasive — this deduction will of course be based on your assessment of ethos, pathos and logos. Thesis statements must be the last sentence in the introduction paragraph.

Paragraph #2: Intended audience: Using information about where and when the advertisement / commercial was published, the ages, sexes / genders, and races of any models or actors, and the layout and color palette of the advertisement / commercial discuss who the intended audience is. Tell your reader at least three things about this audience; consider the audience’s values, knowledge, and demographics.

Paragraph #3: Ethos. Describe for your reader how the advertiser uses ethos. Give concrete examples from the ad. If you feel ethos is effectively used, explain why. If you feel it is ineffective, explain why.

Paragraph #4: Pathos. Describe for your reader how the advertiser uses pathos. Give concrete examples from the ad. If you feel pathos is effectively used, explain why. If you feel it is ineffective, explain why.

Paragraph #5: Logos. Describe for your reader how the advertiser uses logos. Give concrete examples from the ad. If you feel logos is effectively used, explain why. If you feel it is ineffective, explain why.

Paragraph #6: Conclusion. In your final paragraph, take a moment to discuss the overall effect of the ad with regard to ethos, pathos and logos. Which rhetorical appeal was used most effectively? Why? Which was used least effectively? Why? In different words, reiterate your thesis.

Documentation and Formatting

Works Cited: On a separate page at the end of your essay, include a citation for your advertisement and any other sources you refer to in your essay.

Refer to the MLA resources in the Module 1 Learning Materials to review information about formatting, documentation, and other writing resources.
