Choose any fictional show or film (no documentaries) that features at least one queer character and explore the messages and conversations about queerness that the show takes up. What are the implications behind how queerness is being represented, and how responsible do you find this representation? Since we have already looked at Queer as Folk and Pose, students will be asked to find a different piece of popular culture to analyze.
A successful paper will:
Introduce the piece of media you are working with while incorporating a thesis statement that tells me what the piece of media is saying about queerness and how it is saying it.
Include historical context for the conversation the show or film is picking up. What were the major concerns of society as a whole and the queer community specifically at this point in time?
Provide a thorough exploration of the overall messages around queerness this film or television show is sending.
Engage with any negative implications from these representations.
Offer a conclusion highlighting the significance of your chosen film or television show.
Research requirement: Your paper should include no fewer than three sources.

The Ramifications of the US Supreme Court’s Decision in 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis on Businesses and Discrimination Laws
Hi Class, Recently, the US Supreme Court issued its decision in the case of 303 Creative LLC v. Elenis. By a 6-3 vote, the Court has created a carve out to public state accommodation laws that bar discrimination based on sexual orientation. The Court ruled that a proclaimed Christian graphic artist who wants to design wedding websites can refuse to work with same-sex couples. The Court created this exception on the basis of 1st Amendment free speech. Summaries of this Court decision (including the full Court opinion) can be found in the links below. For a possible (3) points extra credit, please answer the following questions:
1. What potential ramifications does this decision have on businesses? Does this open the door for private businesses to legally discriminate against other protected classes of people?
2. Based on this decision, can the tables be turned – can a private business such as a lawyer refuse to represent a client based on their political orientation? For example, if a lawyer finds individuals who identify as MAGA to be adverse to their personal beliefs, and as their work involves the business of speech, can the lawyer expressly decline cases purely on the basis of political affiliation? 3. Does your answer in question #2 change if the facts are revised such that the lawyer refuses to represent any clients whose religious beliefs differ from those of the lawyer?

“The Urgency of Addressing Climate Change: A Call to Action”
need to revise according to feedback (underlined) original essay in attachments
The “U.S. National Academies, the
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the U.S. National Climate
Assessment, and many other primary scientific organizations around the world
agree that climate change is happening due to human activities with the highest
degree of certainty” (Myers et al., 2015) Try not to open your essay with a quote—though it is often
tempting! This quote can be used as one of your first pieces of evidence later
on, but it’s important to lead your reader into your topic, grab their
attention immediately, and establish your voice/control of the
“conversation.” In some more creative forms of writing and
professional paper-writing, you can sometimes get away with it, but for student
essays, it is usually considered bad practice. In 2023, the global average temperature was “1.45 ± 0.12 °C since these are purely statistics, they can act similarly to
paraphrasing and don’t need to be directly quoted. Just make sure they are
cited properly at the end of the sentence! above
the 1850–1900 average,” which meant that the planet had almost surpassed even
the 1.5°C lower limit that was stipulated in the Paris Agreement on climate
change. Meeting the targets of the Paris Agreement requires urgent action from
all sectors to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition to more
sustainable practices. On the other hand, the trend of greenhouse gas
concentrations still rose (Garner & Duran, 2024). Human actions,
particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, have led to an overabundance
of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, resulting in shifts in global
temperatures and weather patterns. -

Exploring the Impact of Children’s Literature: A Personal Reflection As a teacher and lover of literature, I have always been fascinated by the power of children’s books to captivate young minds. Growing up, I was fortunate enough to have access
Length: 500–600 words (2 pages, double-spaced, not including references page)
Weight: 10% of your final course grade
Instructions
For this assignment, you are a teacher or librarian interested in children’s literature, or a writer of adult books who is now considering writing a book for children, or someone in another related occupation. You keep this blog to track and share your professional development and expertise.
Write a blog entry about your first explorations into this topic, based in personal experience and observation as described below, and helped by reference to at least three unit readings to frame your ideas and help to answer questions or shape your interests. You may use an informal or conversational tone, but do provide citations and bibliographic information.
First, thinking of yourself as a child, choose a certain book that captivated you. Read it again and comment on your response: whether the narrative is as you recalled, what narrative elements may have changed or been enhanced in memory, and what aspects of its framing in society now strike you. See, for example, Shirley Brice Heath’s What No Bedtime Story Means: Narrative Skills at Home and School , about culture and class factors. Next, observe a child engaging in a book and ask them why it is appealing, note how they relate the main features of the narrative, and comment on the level of narrative competence that they exhibit. Here you may want to use one of the frameworks discussed in Nancy Marshall’s Using Story Grammar to Assess Reading Comprehension or in another of your course readings.
For all assignments, please use APA style for citations and references.
Before you complete this assignment, please read the section on Plagiarism on AU’s Write Site. -
