Title: The Destructive Power of Alcohol and the Resilience of the Human Spirit in “What You Pawn I Will Redeem”
Rewrite this
1. In Sherman Alexie’s “What You Pawn I Will Redeem,” alcohol is a significant obstacle for Jackson Jackson. His drinking habits waste his money, impair his judgment, and derail his efforts to reclaim his grandmother’s regalia. Every time he drinks, he falls further from his goal, showing how alcohol can trap someone in a cycle of poverty and poor decisions. In real life, I’ve seen alcohol wreak similar havoc. It can lead to health issues, job loss, and broken relationships. People get so caught up in drinking that they neglect important parts of their lives, just like Jackson does.
2. Despite his flaws, Jackson Jackson has admirable qualities. He’s persistent, kind, and funny. He tries to buy back his grandmother’s regalia with his money, showing his sense of fairness. He’s also generous, often sharing what little he has with others, like when he buys drinks for everyone at the bar. While his lack of self-control and tendency to waste money can be frustrating, his good intentions and kind heart make him relatable and likable. -

Title: The Impact of a Mentoring Program on Mental Health Assessment Scores: An ANOVA Analysis
Assignment: Running an ANOVA Test
Unit Outcomes addressed in this assignment:
Apply statistics to a healthcare problem.
Formulate hypotheses based on a healthcare problem.
Complete an ANOVA test using statistical software.
Interpret ANOVA results.
Summarize the meaning of the results in a brief report.
Course Outcomes addressed in this assignment:
HS345-4: Analyze a dataset using a computerized statistical package for insight into a health-related problem.
GEL-1.02: Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English.
Assignment Directions:
In the data collection discussion from Unit 1, collect the data that students provided for Variable 1, Variable 2, and Variable 3. Build an Excel file with two columns. Column 1 will be categorical data labeled “Group #” and will use the numbers 1, 2, and 3. Column 2 will be continuous data labeled “Score” and will use the values provided for Variable 1, Variable 2, and Variable 3.
Group 1 will use data from Variable 1. Group 2 will use data from Variable 2. Group 3 will use data from Variable 3. For example, in the introduction, if the student wrote Variable 1 = 289, Variable 2 = 297, and Variable 3 = 346, your Excel columns would look like this:
Continue adding all the values provided by the other students for Variables 1, 2, and 3. Be sure to group the variables together so that all values for Group 1 are together and all values for Group 2 are together, etc. Here is an example of what your completed Excel spreadsheet would look like, but with different data and fewer values than you will have:
As a mental health provider, you suspect that pairing new patients in your clinical practice with more experienced patients will help improve scores on their mental health assessments. To test your hypothesis, you develop an innovative mentoring program that has three groups. Group one will be the control and will consist of randomly selected participants receiving no intervention. Group two will be patients who meet in person weekly. Group three will be patients who regularly interact through social media and texting but never meet in person.
Analyze the scores in the data you collected with ANOVA using appropriate statistical software, such as PSPP or SPSS.
Evaluate your findings and make recommendations. Write a report that summarizes your conclusions. In the summary, include the relevant ANOVA test results as part of your narrative (not just in a table), your recommendation, and its justification.
Requirements
Write at least 500 words and include a heading with your name, date, assignment, and course.
Any references should come from credible sources and use APA documentation.
Include a highly developed viewpoint that is free from plagiarism.
Organize your paper with subheadings.
Proofread to be free of grammar and spelling errors. -
“Empowering Literacy: A Professional Development Plan for Instructional Leaders”
The purpose of this assignment is to implement a literacy-based professional development/action plan to incorporate within your classroom, school, or district—- depending on your current role. You will identify at least three areas for potential growth in your school community/classroom/district, then list actions steps that contain strategies you plan to consistently implement in your classroom to help create a balanced literacy environment.

(see link below) Special attention should also be given to models supported in your course texts. Include three research references to support your Literacy PDP. ( your text should provide most of these, but you may use other sources)
Step 1: You may choose to complete a PowerPoint presentation or Prezi (limit 8 slides) to demonstrate your new plan of action for your class/school community. It will include:
Title Slide
Your literacy-based professional development plan overview
Three targeted areas/goals/action plan for professional growth (one goal each slide)
List changes in your approach as prompted by the class and/or research

Title: My Research Journey: Exploring the Question of [insert topic]
Part I: Research Narrative (500+ words – 2 pages)
The first section of the assignment will be a first-person narrative that tells the story of your research journey. It will let the reader know how your process began and progressed. I’m interested here in the chronological path of your process. Use the following questions as starting points or guides to tell your story:
Why did this question interest you? Why does it deserve to be answered?
How did you begin your research? What did you do next? Why?
What sources did you uncover?
What did you agree or disagree with?
How did the sources affect your thinking?
How do the sources relate to each other?
The first section of your assignment could be seen as a mini-version of a longer exploratory essay. As you can imagine, you can be drafting this section throughout the process.
Part II: Annotated Bibliography (minimum of 4 entries); at least two (2) sources should be accessed using the HCCS library databases.
An annotated bibliography is like an expanded Works Cited (MLA) page where your reader sees not only the formal citation but also a paragraph containing a summary and explanation of each source. You will list your sources alphabetically according to MLA citation style (Links to an external site.) as you would in a Works Cited page. Each formal citation will be followed by a short paragraph containing:
A description and summary of the work (100-150 words). Take a few sentences to summarize the source and give the reader the main point of the source (or thesis, if appropriate) and a general sense of the whole work. Observe the conventions of summary in your annotations (author tags, present tense verbs, objectivity).
Then, include an indication of the credibility, authority, or bias of the source (2 sentences). Some ways you can demonstrate credibility are by using the CRAAP Test (Links to an external site.), listing how you found the source (such as via the HCC library databases), saying the source comes from a respected publication (such as The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, or a peer-reviewed scholarly journal), or noting the author has credentials relevant to the source.
A statement of how the source might fit into an argument, that is, how it might be useful for your own researched argument.
Your sources here will reflect how your research develops. There is no expectation that these sources are the ones that will appear in the final paper or that they will be “balanced,” that is, so many “for” or “against” an issue. In fact, it is unlikely that all the sources will appear in the final essay. Also, resist the impulse to select only those sources that support any opinions or judgments you may already have about your topic. Reserve judgment, and see where the research leads you.
NOTE: Your sources must be from the last decade. Sources that are more than ten (10) years old will not count towards your assignment. Also, you may not use Wikis, Blogs, Personal Websites and ProCon.org as cited sources. -
