Write a 750-word minimum (no max) response to “The Boarding House.”  This time do not summarize -analyze instead. Don’t tell me what happened in the story -tell me what you think the story is about, what theme or themes the author was exploring, and what idea or message Joyce was conveying through the story.
Ensure you support your concept with close readings and advise at least one piece of textual evidence per paragraph. If there is a pattern to all of your evidence, you have an even better piece of analysis.
Approach this as a formal writing assignment, with an introduction that clearly identifies the author and work as well as projecting the areas you will cover.  I suggest several body paragraphs where you analyze a direct quote and/or situation/theme in each paragraph. Your conclusion can be a very brief summary of your main ideas and overall take on the story.

Edgar Allan Poe’s “Ligeia” is the perfect example of an unreliable narrator. It poses the question: Is the story about a supernatural event or a psychological disturbance? There are so many possibilities as to what has actually happened with the character Ligeia herself since we know she has supposedly died and allowed the narrator to move onto Lady Rowena Trevanion of Tremaine; however, there is the conundrum that Ligeia has been spotted supposedly by Lady Rowena. This is reported to us by this narrator who may be completely and utterly mad (insane).
Ponder the above issue and then develop your answer and submit it with evidence in a Slide (PowerPoint) presentation. You will be expected to have multiple points and support from the text. Be sure to punctuate appropriately when quoting the story. Use MLA format to cite anything from other sources. A minimum of six (6) slides is expected.

I have attached the project papers and also the rubric Submit the project you stated you were going to do under the “American Literature Since 1945 Selection and Check-In Activity.”

Per our discussion in class, the details for The Case study is as follows:
1. (Minimum 750 words but may write more if need) and will be due week 6.
2. Even though these are questions, please follow APA style when writing your answers.
3. Please use at least 2 resources as your references besides your textbook.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
CASE STUDY:
As a student of art history, your task is to analyze and compare artwork from five different ancient civilizations: ancient Egypt, ancient Greece, ancient Rome, Prehistoric Art, and First Civilizations. To complete this task, you will need to write a response on each civilization that addresses the following topics:
Cultural Context: What was the cultural context in which the artwork was produced? What were the religious, political, social, or economic factors that influenced the art of this civilization?
Artistic Characteristics: What were the key stylistic and technical characteristics of the art from this civilization? How did the artists from this civilization use form, color, line, texture, and composition to convey meaning?
Significance: What was the significance of the art from this civilization? How did it contribute to the cultural identity or historical legacy of the civilization?
For each civilization, you will need to choose at least one artwork to analyze and compare to other works from other civilizations. Your analysis should be supported with evidence from scholarly sources and should be written in clear, concise, and well-organized paragraphs.
Here are some examples of artworks you could choose to analyze for each civilization:
Ancient Egypt:
The Great Sphinx of Giza
The Narmer Palette
The Tomb of Tutankhamun
Ancient Greece:
The Parthenon
The Winged Victory of Samothrace
The Laocoon and His Sons
Ancient Rome:
The Colosseum
The Arch of Constantine
The Pantheon
Prehistoric Art:
The Cave Paintings of Lascaux
The Venus of Willendorf
Stonehenge
First Civilizations:
The Ziggurat of Ur
The Stele of Hammurabi
Remember, the purpose of this case study is to compare and contrast the artwork from these civilizations and to provide an analysis of their cultural context, artistic characteristics, and significance. By the end of the study, you should be able to identify the similarities and differences between the art from these civilizations and understand how they contribute to the broader narrative of human history.
Credit will be given based on sufficient exploration and comprehensiveness in your responses

Hello, Scholars,

Write a 3-5 page play (100 points) and an essay analyzing how you composed it and what you learned (50 points).
MLA format, Times New Roman, 12 point, double-space. (150 points)
create your own template for the play analysis. Use at least seven of the categories. Use complete sentences and paragraphs: do NOT use fragments or bullets.

ESSAY
Introduction
1st paragraph: General introduction to the situation, whether relating to the work you will study, or of the
specific problem you want to study. You can start with an example or with a general reflection. The aim is to
raise the reader’s interest so he or she is aware of the challenge of your essay.
2nd paragraph: Move from your general introduction to the particular problem. Towards the end of the
paragraph state your thesis question / thesis statement.
3rd paragraph: Say what you will need to answer the questions / deal with the task in satisfactory terms (“To
do X, I will have to…”). This will help you organize your ‘Theory’ section. This is your methodology.
Note 1: this is one of many ways to start; Note 2: the number of paragraphs may vary
Theory
Present the theory you will need to carry out your aim. Quote and/or refer to your sources (e.g. Blomfontein,
2014, 56). If possible, explain why you need these tools and how they are related to each other.
Analysis
Analyze your text. Your paragraphs should
– Be meaningfully related to each other, which means that you have to create transitions between
paragraphs
– Be composed of a topic sentence and supporting sentences
Remember that topic sentences carry keywords related to your thesis or your main argument. These
keywords tend to be abstract.
At some point you will have to analyze the ‘text’ in detail. This will probably be one of the most important
parts of your argument in the paper. The paragraph / paragraphs you devote to this kind of analysis should
include
– A claim
– Evidence from the text (usually in the form of a quote; it can also be paraphrase or summary)
– An explanation of the evidence (in which you will repeat key words or passages from the quote or
the most important keywords from the paraphrase and explain them in detail)
Conclusion
In this section
– you can repeat your thesis questions / statement
– then you have to summarize your findings
– then you can mention the problems you see with the analysis
– then you can provide directions as to what you think could be done in the future.
Works cited
Here you will provide an alphabetical list of the works referred to throughout the essay (not the works you
have read).
Other common conventions
1. Italics and quotation marks
Italics are used for
– letters, words, and sentences cited as examples (e.g. OE spēd)
– book titles, journal titles, and titles of individual works (e.g. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone)
Single quotation marks are used for
– meanings of words or sentences (e.g. OE spēd ‘success’)
– quotes within quotes (e.g. Harry’s magical ancestry is revealed by Hagrid: “‘Ah, go boil yer heads, both of yeh,’
said Hagrid. ‘Harry – yer a wizard’” (Philosopher’s Stone 42).)
– technical terms and specific concepts (e.g. This instance represents ‘romantic irony.’)
– translations (e.g. Errare humanum est ‘To err is human’)
Double quotation marks are used for
– shorter quotes (up to three lines)
– titles of publications in multi-volume works, journal articles, or book chapters
– titles of poems and parts of a larger work (e.g. Chaucer’s “Knight’s Tale”)
2. Quotations
Shorter quotations (up to three lines) are put in double quotation marks.
Longer quotations (more than three lines) appear in a separate justified paragraph without quotation marks. The entire
paragraph is indented (font size: 11 pt; spacing: single line).
Omissions are indicated by three dots in square brackets. The original wording and spelling of the quotation must not
be altered in any way. If necessary, put minor modifications (e.g. a syntactically required auxiliary) in square brackets
as well.
When quoting poems and plays, indicate line breaks in short quotations with a forward slash (e.g. Wordsworth’s lines
“Of Him who walked in glory and in joy / Following his plough” ([1807] 2000: l. 45–46) refer to Robert Burns.). In longer
quotations, keep the original formatting of the primary text and put them in separate indented paragraphs.
Note: All quotes must be marked as such without exception. They must be followed by a clear bibliographical reference
in parentheses. When quoting indirectly or paraphrasing a text, a bibliographical reference must be provided as well.
3. References
Reference a direct (literal) or indirect (non-literal) quote in the running text by providing the author’s name, the year
of publication, and the page number or range in parentheses, e.g. (Smith 2012: 54–57).
If a reference refers to page 46 and 47, for instance, it should be formatted as (Smith 2012: 46f.) in papers written in
English or as (Smith 2012: 46 f.) in papers written in German, respectively.
4. Figures
If you add figures to the essay, in the running text you add the phrase “as shown in Figure X” or (see Figure X). Below
the figure, you write Figure X. The same goes

One key to success in working with students struggling with literacy skills is providing instructional support outside of the classroom. These supports are often most useful when families are involved in the literacy development process and provided support strategies and resources, as well as progress updates.
Create an infographic to share with families and students that provides resources in assisting students with literacy development in your content area. The communication should be clear, use family-friendly language, and specify the following:
A family-friendly explanation of what literacy is, the literacy components, and why it is important in your content area.
Describe one research-based strategy or resource that is appropriate for practicing each literacy skill (reading, writing, and speaking/listening) and supports the student in your content area outside the classroom.
One method students and/or parents can use to assess students’ progress and growth in content area literacy outside the classroom.
Describe the strategies you will use to communicate student progress in the classroom to the student and parent/guardian/families.
Support the assignment with 3-5 scholarly resources.

Part 1

There are numerous ways to garner students’ attention and have them engage with new content and information. For example, students may enjoy visual pictures or charts/graphs that support other written materials. Or students may engage more fully in small group discussions or Socratic Seminars when they can audibly verbalize their thoughts. Sometimes students may like having tactile experiences that involve manipulating an object to learn a new concept. Consider a lesson activity that you have taught, been taught, or seen taught in a traditional method and explain how you could revise the lesson to engage students using an innovative approach that incorporates literacy.
Part 2 
2 Sources 
Discuss the importance of students understanding their own literacy progress or their movement from learning literacy to literacy to learn. Include opportunities you have seen or used for at-home remediation for students who may still be struggling.
