Directions: Be sure to make an electronic copy of your answer before submitting it to Ashworth College for grading. Unless otherwise stated, answer in complete sentences, and be sure to use correct English spelling and grammar. Sources must be cited in APA format. Your response should be four (4) pages in length; refer to the “Assignment Format” link on the course homepage for specific format requirements.
In your course, turn to Lesson 8. Skim through it to refresh your memory. Next, carefully study and review the section titled “Measuring Technological Progress.”
Use your own words to write a short compare-and-contrast essay that defines and explains three distinct perspectives on the evolution of technology. As you write, imagine you are talking to a friend who has no knowledge of this topic. In short, write the way you speak, using a conversational tone. Also, try to alternate short sentences and longer sentences to make your writing more readable.
Be sure to create a title and cite yourself as the author. For example:
A Comparison of Three Perspectives on the Evolution of Technology
Mei Quoran
Your essay should include five paragraphs, as follows:
Paragraph 1 is your lead paragraph. It will contain an overview of what you have to say in comparing and contrasting the perspectives of Gerhard Lenski, Leslie White, and Alvin Toffler with respect to the evolution of technology.
Paragraphs 2, 3, and 4, are your body paragraphs.
In your essay, use paragraph 2 to describe the perspective of Gerhard Lenski.
In paragraph 3, you’ll write about the perspective of Leslie White.
In paragraph 4, you’ll describe and discuss the perspective of Alvin Toffler.
Paragraph 5 is your summary and conclusion. Here, you’ll compare the three perspectives to show how they are, or may be, similar. You’ll contrast the three perspectives to describe how they’re different. You’ll end this process–and your essay–by expressing your view as to which of these theorists (one or more) offer the most useful insights into the evolution of technology, in your opinion.
Use direct quotes from your reading to support your ideas, but don’t use too many. One to three such quotes should be your limit. This means that you must include citations and a reference page. Be sure to put a direct quote in quotation marks. For example: According to Smith, “Carbon dioxide is both our friend and our enemy.”  Also, be sure to include a citation for any material you paraphrase

Topic:
Do you agree with this claim? 
Why or why not: As English continues to dominate globally, in the context of migration and multicultural societies, the implementation of a multilingual language policy that includes English would lead to the favouritism of English.

1. Read: Discussion Background
Welcome to your EDUOO Week 1 Discussion! As you develop a deeper understanding of adult online non-traditional learners, think about how this can directly impact instructor-student interactions. For example, which new strategies will you need to learn or demonstrate in order to provide an environment of learning for your students?
For this discussion, review the ‘Profile of an Online Learner’ and use the insights you gain to help you answer the discussion prompts.
2. Initial Post: Create a new thread and answer all three parts of the initial prompt below
Introduce yourself to your instructor and classmates. Be sure to include the following:
Explain why it is important to understand the principles of adult learning in your role.
Describe one strategy or learning principle that you can implement in the courseroom to engage your learners.
Describe how understanding your learners’ needs (Maslow) can provide an opportunity to strengthen the instructor-student relationship.

Essay 1 – 2 pages . Please see the attachment for more details . Include a reference sheet and put it in MLA format. Save it in word.

* For the ENG 111 final exam, students will engage in the writing process by revisiting and revising Project/Paper 1.  Note that meaningful, grade-changing revision is a rigorous, time-consuming process that many students are highly motivated to start but less likely to complete. This revision opportunity is NOT just an exercise in sentence-level changes and/or editing. Rather, it is an opportunity to carefully re-envision and thoughtfully recast the original essay by way of meaningful, large-scale revision techniques. 

Final Exam Components 

1) Revision Action Plan: In preparation for their revisions, students will read the provided selection from A Sequence for Academic Writing, create a Reverse Outline of Essay One, then use that to create an Action plan that lays out the steps they intend to take in revising their papers.   
2) Revision of Project One: Students revise their essay based on their revision plan.  
3) Reflection of the Revision Process: Students will write a four paragraph reflection in which they will explain the revisions they made to their Definition Essays, as well as discuss the strengths and weaknesses they demonstrated as writers during this past semester.  
Once you have completed all three of these components to your final exam, you will place them all in a single word document and upload them to Blackboard.

* Component One: Your Revision Action Plan
Component One: Your Revision Action Plan

Instructions:
*
* Step One: Students will read critically Chapter 3: “Writing As A Process” from A Sequence for Academic Writing (Provided by Professor Bowden)
Publisher info for the reading follows:
Title: A Sequence for Academic Writing
Edition: 2nd ed.
Authors: Laurence Behrens, Leonard J. Rosen, and Bonnie Beedles
Publisher: Pearson
Publication Date: 2005
ISBN: 9780321207807

 
Step Two: Students will create a Reverse Outline of your Project One Definition and Exemplification Essay
 
1. In a Word doc, restate your thesis, making certain that the thesis you began with is the thesis that in fact governs the logic of the paper. (Look for a competing thesis in your conclusion. In summing up, you may have clarified for yourself what your actual governing idea is as opposed to the idea you thought would organize the paper.)
2. Summarize each paragraph in a single phrase. If you have trouble writing a summary, place an asterisk by the paragraph as a reminder to clarify it later.
3. Beneath your thesis, write your paragraph-summary phrases, one to a line, in outline format.
4. Review the outline you have just created. Is the paper divided into readily identifiable major points in support of the thesis? Have you supported each major point sufficiently? Do the sections of the outline lead logically from one to the next? Do all sections develop the thesis?
5. Watch especially for uneven development. Add or delete material as needed to ensure a balanced presentation.
*  
 
Step Three: Students will use their Reverse Outline to create an Action Plan that addresses each of the following questions:
 
Question One: How and where to you intend to incorporate the denotative definition of your chosen term, and how will you compare it to your definition of Success, Freedom, or Prejudice?
 
Question Two: What Global Revisions do you intend to make to your thesis, and how will that affect the overall paragraph structure?
 
Question Three: What Local Revisions do you intend to make to that paragraph structure?
 
Question Four: Please identify at least two problems your paper has that require Surface Level Revisions (examples: MLA formatting errors, subject-verb agreement errors, comma splices, etc.)

* Component Two: Your Revision
Component Two: Your Revision

Instructions:
*
* Step One-Global Revisions: Students will revise their essays by focusing on improvements to their thesis, the pattern that it creates for the body of their paper, and they will alter the purpose of their essay by finding a source that defines their chosen term (success, freedom, or prejudice, as outlined in Project One).
The students will then incorporate at least one new paragraph of content that compares their connotative definition argument (your thesis defining either success, freedom, or prejudice) to the denotative (the “dictionary definition”) meaning of the word, which you can find here: https://www.merriam-webster.com. You will look up the term you have chosen to define, and explain how your definition is unique and argumentative in light of the general ideas associated with the word.
*Helpful hint: Look back over the essay we covered in class called “Why Courage Matters” (Week Three; also included in the folder with this assignment) for an example of this in practice. You may remember McCain defines Courage as “a kind of madness” and compares that to the denotative definition of the word (“We are taught to believe that courage is not the absence of fear, but the capacity for action in spite of fear”). You are to do the same for your definition of Success, Freedom, or Prejudice.
 
Step Two-Local Revisions: Students will revise their papers by editing body paragraphs, paying special attention to topic sentences that refer back to the thesis, and examples that follow those topic sentences
 
 
Step Three-Surface Revisions: Students will revise their papers by editing for errors of grammar, mechanics, spelling, and formatting.

* Component Three: Your Reflection of the Revision Process
Component Three: Your Reflection of the Revision Process

Instructions:

* Step One-Paragraphs One and Two: Now that you have read A Sequence for Academic Writing and used it to complete your revision, write two paragraphs that address the Global, Local and Surface revisions you have made to Project One. Pay special attention to not only those phrases, but also make reference to Unity, Coherence, and Development, as explained in A Sequence for Academic Writing. 
Step Two-Paragraphs Three and Four: Now that you have addressed your Revision directly, the final two paragraphs of your reflection should look back over your entire writing experience over our semester. In these two paragraphs, consider addressing any or all of the following questions:
1. How do you think you improved as a writer this?
2. What are some areas you need to continue working on, and why?
3. What have you learned about grammar and standard written English? How have you improved?
4. How did you collaborate actively in our class, and how did it help you this semester?
5. What did you learn about writing this semester that you found helpful or new?
6. What are some of the strengths and weaknesses of your writing process? In this area, you can discuss impacts of time management, environments, constraints, etc., and you can also discuss the various stages of the writing process (prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing).
7. In what ways can you work to overcome these weaknesses in your writing process? For example, will you adjust your schedule to give yourself more time to work on the draft? Will you plan to use the REAL Center or the Writing Center? Will you focus more on prewriting than you did for previous essays?
* Reflection Guidelines:
1. Your Reflection should be four paragraphs, and no less than 500 words
2. MLA formatted
3. Times New Roman, 12 Pt. Font
4. Your Reflection should use terms from the assigned reading A Sequence for Academic Writing, and refer back to it when necessary
5. Your Reflection should end with a Works Cited page that contains citations for A Sequence for Academic Writing and https://www.merriam-webster.com

This 4 – 5 page paper (double spaced, 12 point font, 1” margins, APA format) will closely resemble a shortened version of an academic research paper. Following is an outline of the structure you should use in your paper.
Literature review: (2 pages) Using 8-10 peer-reviewed scholarly sources you find through your library research, discuss what other researchers have found in the area you investigated. You will need to come up with an overarching argument or synthesis of the findings presented in these readings, rather than a list of separate articles. Identify a gap in the literature that your study addresses.
Findings: (2 pages)  What are the main themes you found in you analysis of your interview? How would you answer your research question(s) based on the data? Include several short data excerpts to illustrate your points. 
PSA: listen below are the 2 interviews (transcripts of the interviews) I conduted for the research topic. As well as my research question. Also listed is my Annotated biblography (research activity 3) that you have to use for the literature review section. You have to use the transcripts and researc questions for the findings section. 

write a 2,000 word written commentary analysing a policy document (policy document can be speech, report, white paper, recommendations/guidelines) 
*social issue = grenfall tower fiasco*
The commentary should include: 
1. how is social issue constructed as a public policy problem? 
2. what presuppositions/assumptions underlie this representation of the problem? 
3. what effects are or might be produced by this representation of the problem? 
4. what is left unproblematic in this representation? 
5. can the problem be thought about differently? 
6. how could it be questioned, disrupted, and replaced? 
*the commentary should consider how policy has constructed/disrupted the 
grenfall tower fiasco*
=> examine the discourse of policy document related to issue Y 
=> explain how social issue Y came about 
=> how alternative policy discourses might construct social issue differently 
*make sure to draw on excerpts from the policy document to explain how social issues are represented and addressed* 
side notes: 
1. for the intro, please make sure to explain the grenfall tower fiasco in detail 
2. also when analysing the policy document, use Marion Young’s Theory of Responsibility

According to the GA draft, rewrite it. keep the main idea and frame work of this essay. without any paraphrase, only direct quotes are accepted. the sources must be reliable, and you can only quote from the sources I gave to you. all the ideas must be  trackable and reliable.
