TOPIC — Drawn from Chapters 1 through 6 of Breisach’s Historiography: Ancient, Medieval, and Modern, and supplemented by scholarly materials available through the APUS Online Library or elsewhere, write your own interpretative account of the evolution of historiography in either Greek or Roman civilization. In your summary, indicate the contributions of your selection (be it Greek or Roman) to early historical scholarship. In others words, the essay is about Greek or Roman historians in the context in which they wrote their histories – the essay is not about the legacy of Greek or Roman historians today. You may focus on one historian or a group of historians from either Greece or Rome. Many students often do little more than take notes from Breisach. This would be passable but it is not what I am looking for. It is for this reason that you must also do outside research on the topic. Use Breisach, but use other sources as well. You should also trust yourself – use what you know to discuss something with which you may not be completely familiar.
SOURCES – You will find lengthy passages from: The Ancient History Sourcebook
https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/ancient/asbook.asp
and the Internet Classics Archive
https://classics.mit.edu/
The essays must target 1250 words and should begin with a clear and easily identifiable thesis statement and include a minimum of five primary and secondary sources. All essays must have a suitable title. Footnotes are required. All sources, as well as the bibliography, must conform to Turabian’s A Manual for Writers, 9th ed.
The essay you submit should be carefully scrutinized for errors. I tire quickly with essays that use “their” instead of “there” or “where” instead of “were.” Proofread, and then proofread some more. NOTE: In general, all-purpose internet sources cannot be used for citation purposes. Exceptions are the scholarly websites and documents available through the APUS Online Library, or other academic websites. While indeed useful for a quick reference, Wikipedia is not considered a valid academic source. [The HE is worth 10% of your final grade.]
ensure you use credible sources with this being one:

(Rubric Below)
Purpose of the Assignment: To learn how discourse communities and communities of practice use language and writing to function. To learn why discourse communities have unique and specific ways of writing and using genres. To think about how rhetorical situations work inside discourse communities.
Intended Audience: Classmates. Instructor.
Discourse Community and Genre Ethnography: This assignment asks you to examine a discourse community you already belong to, like specific clubs, occupations, organizations, college majors, teams, church groups, support groups—to name just a few—and identify how the community meets Swales’ six characteristics of a discourse community. Your job is to apply Swales’ six characteristics to analyze the community. Using the characteristics as a “lens,” your job is to a) prove that the community is in fact a discourse community by showing–using examples–how it meets this set of specific characteristics. A discourse community could be a discipline for a course you’re in right now (e.g. history, sociology, business, computer science), your workplace, a specific group like a gaming community that uses its own kind of lexis or “language” and has codes of behavior, dress, etc,, your specific workplace (e.g. if you work in a subsection of a larger organization), a club, a subgroup within a larger social group…These are just some examples.
To do this, you will need to collect as much information about your discourse community as possible. Then, once you have this data, just like in the first two papers, you’ll generate a lot of ideas in the form of a very rough draft by answering some or all of the questions below. Answering these questions is just the start. You’re not finished with the paper once you’ve answered the questions; they are just meant as a guide for helping you analyze the information about your community. You will need to take the ideas generated from thinking through these questions and shape them into an essay from there.
Materials for analysis could be syllabi, publications, websites, apps, memos, emails, handbooks, resumes, training materials, etc.
In the essay, you will use what you learn from the readings and from the research you collect about your discourse community to tell us what you learned about your discourse community. The paper should reference the course readings and your data.
Ultmately, the goal is to think about how intercommunication functions in the community. Use the following visual from Colette Frommeyer to help you imagine the various communication forms that exist in the community:
Other Specific Requirements:
You will need to quote and reference any readings we complete on discourse communities like Dan Melzer’s piece, and use them in each body paragraph
you will need to locate and incorporate at least three additional source materials from the discourse community you are examining
Your final analysis should be at least five complete pages (see syllabus on page requirements–the page must be completely filled with text to count as a complete page, and Works Cited does not count toward the page count
12′ font, double-spaced properly following the Week 1 MLA formatting assignment
proper MLA format including proper in-text citations and Works Cited
First, start with some research and use these questions. If you answer these questions, you will have content for the final paper. The questions are not in any particular order, and they should not be used as a template for organizing your paper. The best way to get information about a discourse community is to conduct primary research, so let’s discuss what that can look like:
Questions for Gathering Data and Information about Your Community –these are just to help you take notes on your ideas; you then need to organize and develop the ideas you gather here and present them in an essay with a introduction/thesis, body paragraphs that contain evidence/examples from your materials as well as course readings, and a conclusion.
What are the communicative practices for this community?
How is information shared or transmitted in this community?
What types of specialized vocabulary or “jargon” do they use?
What language(s) are used in the discourse community?
How are texts produced within the discourse community?
For what purpose are texts produced in this community?
Who produces the texts for this community?
Do all community members produce texts or just a select few? Why?
Who gets to produce certain texts and why?
What guidelines does the community have for the production and acceptance of texts?
What evidence does the community value or not value and why?
What types of research do they do or not do?
How are individual texts related to each other in this discourse community? How do the texts carry out the community’s actions and will as a whole?
What genres are used to produce texts?
What are the conventions for genres?
What are the writing conventions for this community? APA? Chicago? MLA? ASA?
What are the basic assumptions that ground the community?
What is the purpose for the community and how is this expressed in writing?
What makes someone an authority in this profession or community? Degrees? Experience?
What other kinds of things are important for communicating in this profession?
How are images and sounds used in this community? Where are they used?
An Interview:
You might consider interviewing someone currently in the discourse community you hope to join to learn more about the kinds of writing and communication he or she does in the community. Ask them how long they’ve been there, how they communicate with others in the discourse community, and how they learned to write A, B, or C. Use some of the questions above to conduct the interview. The answers will generate content for your final paper. You do not have to conduct an interview. An interview can serve as at least two sources for this assignment.
Examples of vehicles used for communication that you you can analyze (also known as “genres”):
Locate as many genres from the the community as possible and analyze them. These publications include, but are not limited to:
Academic and trade publications (journals, newsletters, etc.).
Company web sites (Internet and Intranet). Screen shots are fine.
Professional society web sites (e.g., Federal or State Bar Association, the National Association of State Foresters).
Society for Technical Communication, etc.).
Internal correspondence (memos, reports, policy & procedure documents, forms, etc.).
External correspondence (letters, applications, descriptions, reports, etc.).
Training materials (menus, etc.).
Emails
Press Releases
Catalogs
Codes
Flyers
Pamphlets
Meeting Notes
Writing the Paper
Introduction: Start by identifying your discourse community, giving enough background information that your audience gets a good idea of what it is and your role in it. Then write a thesis statement that explains what you learned from studying that community. (To start, just write a “working thesis” that gets at what you feel is the main idea of your paper, and then keep refining and revising that thesis statement as you go along writing the paper, making sure the thesis and the body of the paper have a tight connection.)
Body:
Include a section that explains how your community meets the definition of a community, looking through the lens of Swales’ six characteristics. This section can be organized into paragraphs that each deal with one of Swales’ six characteristics. First write a topic sentence that tells your audience something unique or the main interesting thing about how your community embodies that characteristic. Find and include a quote (or paraphrase) from the course reading that best matches up with and supports that thing. Then, explain in your own words more about how your community does that thing, using examples from your data and, if applicable, other quotes from the readings.
Then provide a 1-2 page analysis section in the paper that examines something specific or unique you learned about your community. For example, you could extend our understanding of what mush faking looks like in a particular community, or what an identity kit looks like for that community. You could examine a variety of ideas in this final paper, but use the articles and quotes from the articles to frame your analysis. I don’t want you to summarize your data only. Instead, make a strong, clear claim about your discourse community that you can back up with examples and evidence from your data collection. To illustrate and support your claim about this unique trait of your community, use quotations from your interview subject if you conducted an interview, quotations from the documents and materials you analyzed, and/or other specific information from these documents, and quotes from the articles we read in this unit.
Look over this sample paper:
Example #1

The paper examines at least three documents or genres from the community and references them in the paper to support an analysis of the community, or the paper references an interview with a member of the community and includes the transcript for the interview with the paper in the assignment drop box as an attachment. The paper examines a variety of ideas and conclusions from the analysis and connects those ideas to the readings and discussions in the course. There is a 1-2 page analysis section that examines something you learned about the discourse community more closely. The writing is clear and readable. The paper has interjected references and source materials using an appropriate writing style like APA or MLA, and there is a works cited page with citations.
A paper that earns an B to B+ will analyze a discourse community and identify the characteristics for a discourse community. The paper examines at least three documents or genres from the community and references them in the paper to support an analysis of the community, or the paper references an interview with a member of the community and includes the transcript for the interview with the paper in the assignment drop box as an attachment. The paper examines a variety of ideas and conclusions from the analysis and connects those ideas to the readings and discussions in the course but this section may need more development and analytical detail. There is a 1-2 page analysis section that examines something you learned about the discourse community more closely, but this section may need more development and analytical details. The writing is clear and readable. The paper has interjected references and source materials using an appropriate writing style like APA or MLA, and there is a works cited page with citations. There may be some minor issues with interjecting source material.

“Overcoming Adversity: My Journey to Success and Self-Discovery”
I was a person that was giving up at life and school for most part, especially when you have people that, you think would support you but wanted you to fail at the end. During high school I was always an A or B Student after high school things went left. I dropped of college where I was attending UCONN because at that point I was ready to give up. It took me a year to Realized that, what I was doing was not okay and was setting me back from the person I wanted to become. I went to Norwalk community college and ask for help to start somewhere because I know I can do anything I put my mind to. From a young age I was always into track and field, a sport that I will spend quality time doing because I feel happier and confident. At times I be thinking I’m weird, because during school there few subjects that I do good especially math, one minute ill like that particular subject the next minute I hate. But once I understand the concept of a class or subject then I succeed. When it comes to Volunteer, I’ve gotten less experience with that, which I know volunteering bring better experience. During my free time I’ll watch a lot of motivational videos, take a walk, catch up with friends and family here and there, and for most part ill some alone time to self -reflect on what I want my life to be. I started my first job as a fast-food worker then I move my way to an assistant manager, which the environment was toxic so I left. I was hired at the bank by a family friend, that’s what I’m doing currently. Knowing myself I wanted to become an accountant, or a business owner, or financing. Working at the bank I’ll try to gain as much experience so I can become a better person and achieve more.

Overview: Applying the APA Code of Ethics to a Case Study Vignette
Overview
In order to understand how your case study presents an ethical conflict, you will need to understand the dominant ethical code. Professionals in the field of psychology refer to the APA Code of Ethics to guide their decision making in their work environments. The American Psychological Association website provides the APA Code of Ethics, which is used in psychology.
Prompt
In Milestone Three, you will apply the APA Code of Ethics to your chosen case study vignette. You will list and define each principle and standard in an organized fashion as well as emphasize which principle and standard could be in question in your case study vignette. You will then make a statement discussing the cultural and social considerations in your case. All cases have considerations of this kind, but they may be less obvious in some case studies. You may also choose to create a hypothetical cultural or social consideration (for example, what if a language barrier were present in your case study vignette?) for your case if you do not think it has one. You will expand upon this in Milestone Four.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed within the final project outline template:
Describe the ethical issues in your chosen ethical scenario and relate the issues to the important people identified previously. You might consider the following: What are the questions you wish to answer and the ethical issue that must be addressed?
APA Code of Ethics: List and define all principlesin an organized fashion. Identify which principles might apply to your chosen case’s ethical conflict.
APA Code of Ethics: List and define all standardsin an organized fashion. Identify which standards might apply to your chosen case’s ethical conflict.
Statement of Culture and Social Orientations in the Case Study: Identify and explain the culture and social considerations in your chosen case. If the case does not have one, create a hypothetical cultural or social consideration.
What to Submit
Your paper must be submitted as a 2- to 3-page Microsoft Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and any referenced sources cited in APA format. -
My Top Five: A Personal Reflection on Western Art Throughout this semester, I have had the opportunity to explore a vast array of Western art, ranging from ancient civilizations to modern times. As I reflect on all the works I have encountered, I
You have had one semester in which to examine many works in a very broad survey of Western Art. You have seen much in class, and even more on your own as you have researched and completed seven assignments.
In short, compose a list of your personal top five (5) works of art from this semester, and describe why you have chosen these particular works in light of so many works we’ve viewed. Some questions to consider:
Why did these five make your list?
How did you arrive at your list?
Are they your favorites, or are they deserving of such honor despite not being actual personal favorites?
Did you see them in class, or in your own research, or both?
Were you familiar with any of these works prior to class?
By placing these works in their context, were you able to gain a new understanding of the works as representatives of a specific time, place and culture, thereby catching a glimpse of the past in a new and dare I say, profound way?
Be sure to fully identify your top five by title, date, and artist if known, and please cite sources, whether lectures, study guides, notes, textbook or other.
NO bullet points! Use complete sentences – this is not a formal research paper but you do have time to polish it before submitting a sloppy one-paragraph essay. To wit: each work merits a minimum of one paragraph, offering as much detail as possible. If one double-spaced typed page is approximately 250 words, I’d say this essay should aim for at least 750. -

Prompt: During the decades during and after the Cold War, the United States experienced several significant social, political, economic, and cultural transformations. How did the Civil Rights Movement aim to improve the lives of both African Americans, and all Americans as a whole? What were some of the lasting impacts of the Civil Rights Movement?
Your thesis statement should be a direct answer to this question. Organize your paper to include subtopics that support the thesis. Your paragraphs should contain succinct quotes from the interviewee, followed by an explanation, analysis, and interpretation. To properly contextualize, you will need to draw upon information from the textbook and other course materials this semester, including primary sources. Cite all examples and direct quotes using either MLA in-text or Chicago-Style footnote citations. Conclude with a paragraph that ties all your analysis together by restating your thesis (albeit in a paraphrased form), and briefly discuss some of the broader implications of the topic.
To answer this essay question, you may use any material covered in class (e.g., videos, readings from American Yawp, and the documents from Voice
