First reason or stage in the argument. Here, the writer uses an appropriate source (Source A ) to begin to make the case, organizing the steps in the argument in a coherent manner. As in the Close Reading essay, which analyzes quotations from a single text, and the synthesis essay, which utilizes multiple works, the student begins to respond to outside works using a) Summary and b) Analysis paragraphs.
Example:
“The anti-science backlash currently roiling the political process is more than an inconvenience; it is making political action in the face of this crisis impossible. ___, in her essay, ____, argues that ____…”
“Her concept of ___ is a useful model for understanding the anti-science movement with respect to climate change…”
Second reason. Continues development of the argument through another well-chosen source (Source B).
Example: 
“This political impasse must be overcome so that the crisis can be addressed on a national level…__(Source A)____argues that…“In contrast to (Source A), _(Source B)__ argues that…” (note Transition, “in contrast to…”)…
The difference between the two is really one of ___…”
Third reason. Continues development of the argument through third source (Source C)..
Example: 
“But the end point must be global action, not simply national action. According to ___, the most effective solution is not directed at ___, but at ____…”
“__(Source C)__ suggests alternative ways of looking at the problem…”
Synthesis. Student responds to implications of all research taken together, makes own claim.
Example: “Given the above, an effective solution will surely involve _____…”
Conclusion. Restatement of main points.
Example: “Ultimately, solving the problem will be a matter of ____…”

What is a photo essay? A photo
essay is a composition of images through which you tell a story, share an
event, or make a point that stirs emotions or serves as a call to action for
your reader. Your task is to compose such a “narrative” using
photographs accompanied by written paragraphs carefully organized so a reader
can interpret their combined meaning. Pay close attention to the instructions
below as every one of them is pertinent and necessary to your production of a
successful photo essay. 
Instructions: Follow the steps below . Ignoring steps will result in
lower grades. Use the list as a checklist as you work.
*You may submit the project as a PowerPoint or a Word
document. 
1. Decide what you want to share or the point you want to make
through your composition of images. What do you want to say? What do
you want to say about it? Why might what you have to say matter to other
people? These questions will guide you in your choice of topic and in your
collection of images. Hint: Your objective must do more than
show others something or  merely “inform” others about a topic.
Your goal should be to move others to think or act differently about your
topic. What new perspective or call to action are you sharing?
2. Hunt and Gather: Begin by assembling 20-25 images. The images can be ones
you’ve taken yourself or that you’ve acquired from other sources. Make sure
that you are not violating copyright laws when using images. Do not use stock
photos with watermarks on them. It’s not only illegal but it is tacky. Pexels.com and Pixabay.com offer
a wide selection of photographs that you can use freely and download in various
resolutions.  You need not cite nor give attribution to use these images.Note:
You must use actual photographs. You cannot use memes or drawings. The
photographs should be large. Do not use thumbnail sized images. The photos
should be at least half a page if not larger.
3. Draft your photo essay.
1.       
Study your collection of photographs. Curate ten to twelve images that
best serve your purpose. As you decide which images to use, ask, 
“What idea do I want to share using these photographs?” What
story can I tell, and what will the point of the story be?
2.       
Make notes as you study the images about their components and how they do
the work you need them to do i.e. how do the pictures depict what you want them
to depict?
3.       
Arrange your images in the order you think will help you compose a
pictorial narrative related to your message or story. As you arrange them,
imagine each image as akin to a paragraph in an essay. What is your
introductory image? What logically comes next? Play with the arrangement until
you determine the best way to organize them.
4. Once you’ve currated and arranged your photographs, compose
written paragraphs about each image. You may write more than one
paragraph  Each paragraph should include the following:
·        
a general statement of what the image depicts (event/location/focus etc.)
·        
an explanation of its purpose in your composition–what does it
“say,” as you interpret it?
·        
further explanation of how  the image conveys what
you are using it to convey. This is where you discuss specific elements of the
image such as light, objects, people, angles, positions, background,
foreground, etc. This is a very important aspect of the assignment. This is
where you’re really demonstrating your ability to think about parts in relation
to a whole–parts of an image in relation to the big picture, and a photo in
relationship to the entire photo essay you’re composing.
·        
Don’t forget to state the “so what” about your image in
relationship to your thesis or misson for the project as a whole–what does
each image have to do with the “big picture” you’re creating through
the arrangement of the images.
Make sure your paragraphs have topic (first) sentences that make claims,
i.e., statements that need a defense or which prompt someone to say,
“Really? Why do you think that?” The rest of your paragraph will
answer that question. Do not just write a
sentence or two. That does not constitute a paragraph. Elaborate on the claim
you make in your first sentence of each paragraph. Refer to earlier weeks and
the information on essay writing.
5. Double check that you have made specific references to the
details in the photographs in each paragraph. Do not make only general
comments. Show your reader how to “see” your images as you see them.
Explain how they tell the story you are using them to
tell. What specific components or aspects of the image are relevant
to the idea you are sharing? Color? Subjects? Setting? Lighting? etc. Describe
the images in detail.
6. Test your structure. Read your topic sentences in the
order in which you have arranged them. Do they make sense in the order in which
they are arranged? Could you tell what the essay is about by reading the topic
sentences themselves as you’ve arranged them? If not, rewrite them and/or
reorganize the paragraphs and/or the images. Again, this is part of the
drafting stage. It may, in fact, be the hardest part of the composition of your
photo essay.
7. Compose a conclusion when you’re satisfied with your
composition of images and the accompanying text. Your conclusion should also be
attached to an image. Hint: As you write the conclusion,
imagine that a reader has asked the following question and that you’re
answering it: “Why does anything you showed in the images or said about
them matter to me? Why should I care?” What “take-away” do you
intend for your readers? If you’re writing about rural violence, for instance,
why should a city dweller care about what goes on in the
“middle-of-nowhere” America? This is the hard part! 
8. Edit and proofread ruthlessly.

Your final paper will be a brief overview about the writers of The Declaration of Independence, an abbreviated portfolio of their biographies.  Who were they and how did they come to be responsible for this incredibly important piece of writing that is still being studied today? Be sure to include your own impressions of their contributions.  You are allowed to include small digital portraits of these men as attachments to your paper.  In other words do not include the photos in the body of your paper since they will mot count towards the page requirements.             
This is an extension of Paper 2 and helps us to extend our understanding of the Declaration of Independence.  3-6 pages double-spaced.  The font will need to be Times New Roman 12 point font.  You will need at least 2 sources. MLA format. Keep in mind, this is your last assignment and needs to be done thoroughly.  DUE BY 12 NOON on May 3. Your papers will be subject to plagiarism checks—be sure to quote the source when you are using the exact statements from your sources.

. Choose a topic that enables you to tell a short, interesting personal narrative essay. Your narrative can be funny, suspenseful, meaningful, or exciting, but it must focus on one event.
EXAMPLE If you decide to write about traveling to Washington DC, you should not write about the entire trip. Choose one event (e.g., an afternoon you spent visiting the National Portrait Gallery, or shopping in Georgetown, or taking a tour of the White House) and tell a detailed story that focuses on that single event.
The following are some ideas that can help you to select a topic for your story:
Firsts: Think of a “first” in your life and describe that moment in detail.
Proud moment: Choose a moment when you felt proud about an accomplishment.
Adversity: Describe a time when you had to think or act quickly to overcome a challenge.
Travel: Recall a memorable experience you had while visiting an interesting place.
HINT
Topic Choice Guidance: We encourage you to choose any one event from your life that you feel comfortable sharing in an academic context with a classroom audience in mind.
Step 2. Write a Narrative Essay
Write a narrative essay that meets the following criteria:
Presents a focused, meaningful narrative: The composition is consistently focused, and details are relevant and specific.
Tells the story using a logical, smooth sequence of events: The sequence of events and details is logical and easy to follow throughout the composition.
Develops a clear beginning, middle, and end: The composition has a clear and well-developed beginning, middle, and end. The opening paragraph(s) thoroughly introduce the setting, characters, and situation. The middle paragraphs thoroughly describe the progression of events. The closing paragraph(s) provide a thorough resolution to the narrative.
Uses narrative language and techniques competently: Uses narrative language and techniques (e.g., concrete and sensory details, figurative language, vivid description, dialogue, pacing, and plot development) effectively throughout the composition.
Demonstrates command of standard English grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and usage: There are few, if any, negligible errors in grammar, punctuation, spelling, capitalization, formatting, and usage.
Step 3. Think About Your Writing
Below your completed narrative, include answers to all of the following reflection questions:
Which narrative techniques did you use to bring your narrative to life? (2-3 sentences) Sophia says: Did you use vivid description, sensory details, and/or dialogue to engage readers? Provide two examples from your essay in which you “show” readers rather than “tell” them. EXAMPLE: A sentence such as “I glanced at the clock, grabbed my briefcase, and sprinted for the elevator” uses more descriptive language than simply saying, “I was running late for the meeting.”
How did your purpose and audience shape the way in which you wrote your narrative? (3-4 sentences) Sophia says: Your hypothetical audience extends beyond the people who will evaluate your narrative. Which individuals or groups were you addressing when you wrote your narrative, and how did consideration of your audience and your purpose influence the way in which you wrote it?
Provide a concrete example from your narrative that shows how you have written specifically for this audience and purpose. (3-5 sentences) Sophia says: Consider including a quotation from your essay and explaining how it was written to appeal to your audience and to accomplish your purpose. Alternatively, you might describe a theme, tone, or narrative technique that you used and explain how it was intended to appeal to your audience and achieve your purpose.
Step 4. Review Rubric and Checklist
Your composition and reflection will be scored according to the Touchstone 1 Rubric, which evaluates the narrative focus, narrative flow, narrative structure, narrative language and techniques, use of conventions (grammar, punctuation, etc.), and your answers to the “Think About your Writing” questions above.
Refer to the checklist below throughout the writing process. Do not submit your Touchstone until it meets these guidelines.

❒ Have you written about a single event over a short period of time rather than several events over an extended period of time?
❒ Are all of the details in your story relevant to your purpose?
❒ Is the narrative action presented in a logical order that is easy to follow?
❒ Is your narrative 500-800 words in length? If not, which details do you need to add or subtract?
Narrative Structure
❒ Is there an opening paragraph that introduces the setting, characters, and situation?
❒ Are there middle paragraphs that describe the progression of narrative action?
❒ Is there a closing paragraph that provides a thorough resolution to the event or experience?

Essay #1 prompts(WRITE)
Essay #1: Global Emergency!  Note: the finished essay is due by Friday night, May 3rd, 2024. The submission portal is now open. 
PURPOSE: The world has been plunged into turmoil since 2020, with the social and health impacts of the coronavirus and, more recently, the economic and political fallout from the wars in Gaza and the Ukraine. Here in the USA, unrest continues over police brutality, entrenched racism, and socio-economic inequality, while random crime surges, from shootings to shoplifting. These are all important concerns to address, but if you go back to before 2020 (lockdown), the number one issue attracting new followers (Greta Thunberg et al) was the impact of global warming on our environment. It’s coming back into the public eye with the crazy weather and superheated oceans we’ve experienced in the past year.
Admittedly, there are still Flat-Earthers who reject all science and logic, and a good number of people who sees their livelihoods threatened so prefer not to believe the severity of the problem. Nonetheless, we’ve seen a series of tornadoes, fires, and, most recently, mega-storms and floods that demonstrate clearly how the climate problem continues to worsen. Despite whatever complaints and concerns that exist within society, society itself cannot exist except within the habitable world. In other words, no livable ecosystem, no civilization within which to work out our discontents.
You may well have reached similar conclusions having watched and read the assigned “Global Emergency” materials from James Howard Kunstler, Chief Seattle, Alphonso Cuaron (and his interviewees), the reports on “Ghost Trees” and the Adirondack (more hopeful, that one), and Al Gore in Davis Guggenheim’s’ documentary. Here’s an opportunity to demonstrate that by considering the arguments they’ve made.
TASK: Following the same method we’ve developed over the discussion boards, discuss one film and two essays, stating the overall argument and summarizing the ideas about the problems approaching from the near future:
Films (choose one): The Possibility of Hope (dir. Alfonso Cuaron, 2007); An Inconvenient Truth (dir. Davis Guggenheim, 2006), A Wild Idea-The Birth of the Adirondack Park Agency (by Brad Edmondson & Paul Frederick, 2021).
Essays (1 from Kunstler required + 1 other author): James Howard Kunstler, “The Long Emergency;” Kunstler’s follow-up lecture, “Remarks in Hudson, NY January 8, 2005;” Frank Kaminski’s reflection on Kunstler’s ideas ten years after their publication; Chief Seattle, “Letter to President Pierce, 1855;” Nancy Chen & Analisa Novak, “Ghost Trees.”
Chief Seattle is in the textbook; the other pieces are in Module 6. You can review the films through the links in the module. Cuaron’s The Possibility of Hope is quite short, at least in comparison to An Inconvenient Truth, but be aware that over its three episodes, it contains several separate interviews to be considered. In turn, An Inconvenient Truth cinematizes the Al Gore essay “The Climate Emergency,” which was included in the textbook but, annoyingly, has been dropped from the latest edition. If your copy has it, feel free to refer to it as well.
CRITERIA:
Format: 1200 word count min., 1” margins, double-spaced, 10/12 pt. type. On a cover page or in the top left-hand corner, be sure to put your name, my name, our class, and the date. Use an effective structure that carefully guides your reader from one idea to the next, and edit thoroughly so that sentences are readable and appropriate for an academic audience.
For each element (film, essay), you must choose at least three issues that are addressed in that source. These could be distinct to each or considered by all (i.e., global warming, over-population, fuel shortages). What position does each author/speaker take overall (optimistic, pessimistic, fatalistic, etc.)?
Then find one proof for each of these positions, at least (quoted statements, examples/scenes from the films) by which that position is demonstrated.
Finally, draw a conclusion from the points and proofs that reflect what the author, director, or interviewee means, as you see it.
In summary, this means identifying and considering nine issues and nine supporting details in total — though you’re welcome to add more!
For The Possibility of Hope, you must also answer the following questions, to keep your discussion on track with the film’s various episodes. If you wish, you can structure these answers to fulfil part of the “Proofs” requirement, if you can do so successfully:
What does Slavoj Zizek mean by his metaphor of the world being a boat?
What does Naomi Klein means by the “global green zone,” as she call it?
What did the late James Lovelock ultimately predict for our planet’s future?
All major points must be supported by references to the source materials (films, essays), and such references must be cited using MLA format. See Keys For Writers as needed for citation help. All elements (each film, each essay) should generate at least a good paragraph  apiece (7-8 sentences), and your essay should contain a solid introduction with a clear thesis statement (a guiding opinion about the overall content you’re discussing), and a final paragraph (or two) in which you state your conclusions about the issue. Good luck!
