Write instructions<\/a> for a 1- to 2-page handout<\/a> that explains how to create a table in Microsoft\u00ae Word (whatever version you have) and how to add and delete columns<\/a> and rows from an existing table.<\/p>\n Note: You may choose a task different from the table, but it still needs to be a technical one. Include the following in your instructional handout: Summary<\/a> of the program<\/a> and version of the program you are using Design that reveals to the reader how your information is organized.<\/p>\n Effective use of blank space Organized and consistent design of active space Illustrations taken from screenshots<\/a> or a snipping tool that are appropriately cited Titled and numbered illustrations that are referred to in the instructions<\/a><\/p>\n Note: Check the Microsoft website<\/a> for the wording that must accompany the use of its software images. Continue to develop the characteristics of good writing, and proofread your document for common errors<\/a><\/p>\n Argumentative paper<\/a>. Thesis: The arctic is warming. This is a fact. Permafrost is melting, releasing both methane and carbon dioxide<\/a> into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n We are doomed. 500 to 550 words. READ GUIDELINES<\/a>: FOLLOW EXACTLY Pull sources from link in ebsco file provided<\/p>\n There is three parts to this assignment. The assignment<\/a> needs to be written in MLA format<\/a> 12 font double spaced times new roman. For the first part: This is a one page (250 words) typed commentary about Considering your major (psychology), what role with strong writing and analytical skills<\/a> have on your career and\/or continued college career<\/a>?<\/p>\n The second part: This part of the assignment<\/a> needs to be two paragraphs (10 sentences long each paragraph) the first paragraph is going to explain why you chose to write about the painting from Pablo Picasso<\/a> called girl before a mirror. The second paragraph will explain the outside sources you will use to help you argue your point in the third part.<\/p>\n The third part: Write a 3.5 page essay examining the significance of the photograph\/painting (Pablo Picasso) and why or how the photograph\/painting has been elevated to an iconic status.<\/p>\n It will also require you to define the word icon<\/a>. What does it mean for a photograph\/painting<\/a> to be iconic? It is your job to come up with an argument<\/a> based on your reading of the photograph\/painting as well as your definition of the word icon. This will require you to write about the photograph<\/a> or painting as well as the artist<\/a> who created it.<\/p>\n Use Stein and Davenport<\/a> as models. Both essays do the same thing I am asking you to do. Notice<\/a> how they examine both the artist and the photograph\/painting. This will require a careful reading of the photograph\/painting, research<\/a>, and critical thinking<\/a>.<\/p>\n As part of the essay, you should research<\/a> the artist or photograph\/painting you are evaluating<\/a>. What do others say about this artist or his or her photograph\/painting? Critically read the photograph\/painting, and like Davenport, incorporate your critical reading<\/a> into your essay.<\/p>\n What is in the foreground<\/a> and background? What can you infer about the image based on that which surrounds it? Does the photograph\/painting symbolize<\/a> anything? Be sure to have the photograph\/painting<\/a> in front of you as you write.<\/p>\n Finally, argue why this photograph\/painting should be viewed as iconic<\/a> by exploring<\/a> what it represents, communicates<\/a>, and\/or symbolizes. Here is where you will get to use your critical thinking and analytical skills<\/a>.<\/p>\n Consider the following scenario: You are the owner or manager<\/a> of a small business<\/a> who needs to inform a group of loyal customers of some bad news. Please write a one-page letter to this group of customers explaining the situation<\/a>.<\/p>\n You will also want to thank them for their business. The continued livelihood<\/a> of your company<\/a> and your employees depends on a strong relationship with this group. You may create any details necessary for this communication<\/a>.<\/p>\n There is two parts to this assignment<\/a>. Both parts need to be 12 font double spaced times new roman MLA format. Guidelines<\/a> for part one: 3 typed pages, 12 point font, double-spaced, Times New Roman<\/a>.<\/p>\n You MUST write at least 3 full pages, not including the Works Cited page<\/a>. You may write more than 3 pages. Please note this is only 3 pages but you may write more.<\/p>\n The Topic<\/a>: First, read Susan Sontag\u2019s essay \u201cRegarding<\/a> the Pain of Others\u201d Second, formulate a reaction to the piece based on your reading. Write an essay that both examines Sontag\u2019s<\/a> essay and explores your reaction. This assignment<\/a> requires you to describe and analyze your reaction, using quotes to support your examination<\/a>.<\/p>\n Be sure to analyze several quotes<\/a>\u00a0 as well as respond to them connecting the analyses to your reactions, drawing a broader conclusion<\/a> regarding what you\u2019ve learned about the effects of challenging images.<\/p>\n Pick one of the stories on attached file -2-3 sentence summary<\/a> in the introduction -analyze characterization<\/a>, setting, point of view, conflict, themes or analyze the symbols and deeper meaning of the story.<\/p>\n Before You start; I need a topic for a white paper! One I had in mind was: The Benefits of using Network Vulnerability Scanners<\/a><\/p>\n Please follow the instructions<\/a> attached below Also if hired, you be hired to complete this assignment and later on the final white paper assignment<\/a><\/p>\n Include the name of the fallacy<\/a> as a heading within your paper.<\/p>\n 1. Explain the fallacy, using a signal phrase that includes the source that informed your understanding<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2. Use an example to illustrate the fallacy. Show an example of a current-day advertisement<\/a>, news clip, public service announcement, political speech<\/a> or campaign, letter to the editor, public speech, blog or social media post that uses this fallacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n 3. Explain how the example illustrates the logical fallacy<\/a> which you are defining.<\/p>\n 4. Create a Works Cited entry for the source that informed your understanding<\/a> of the logical fallacy.<\/p>\n 5. Create a Works Cited entry for the example of the fallacy. FOR AN A: Work alone, in a pair or with a small group, and create a video or live presentation<\/a> to share with the class.<\/p>\n Select five logical fallacies<\/a> to define and exemplify. You must find a way to demonstrate that your video does not simply \u201cborrow<\/a>\u201d from videos already in existence<\/a>. FOR A B: Work alone, in a pair or with a small group, and create a video or live presentation to share with the class. Select three logical fallacies to define and exemplify<\/a>.<\/p>\n You must find a way to demonstrate<\/a> that your video does not simply \u201cborrow\u201d from videos already in existence. FOR A C: Work alone, in a pair or with a small group, and create a video or slide presentation<\/a> to share with the professor. Select three logical fallacies to define and exemplify.<\/p>\n You must find a way to demonstrate that your video does not simply \u201cborrow\u201d from videos already in existence. FOR A TEN-POINT BONUS<\/a>: Do not use any example of a fallacy that any other group is using.<\/p>\n The best (but not the only) way to do this is to select fallacies that no one else has chosen. (Yes, you will need to communicate<\/a> not just with your own group, but with other groups. AND if another individual or group uses the same example as you or your group, neither group will receive the ten point bonus. I know\u2013so unfair!)<\/p>\n ` PROMPT<\/a>: Alice Walker\u2019s short story \u201cEveryday Use\u201d was written at a particular moment in history, when, for the first time, a young generation of black Americans<\/a> were demonstrating pride in their African roots and attempting to connect to that part of their identity.<\/p>\n Alice Walker<\/a> was herself an activist, but this story is not about the civil rights or black power movements. Rather, it\u2019s about a mother learning to see her two daughters clearly for perhaps the first time.<\/p>\n Select one of the following questions<\/a> and write a well-developed paragraph or two in response (minimum 150 words, not including quotes from the story). Please use at least one supporting detail from the text in your answer.<\/p>\n If there are topics below which have not been selected by the time you begin to write, please choose from among them.<\/p>\n 1.What is the symbolic significance<\/a> of the quilt in this story (you should begin with the quilt, but need not stop there) ?<\/p>\n 2.Which sister does Walker seem to feel most sympathy<\/a> for, and why?<\/p>\n 3.How is the title of the story related to Mama\u2019s epiphany<\/a> at the end of the story? What is that epiphany?<\/p>\n 4.Based on the events of the story, what would you say Walkers theory of art<\/a> might be? [Think about how Dee plans to use the items she is removing from her mother\u2019s home].<\/p>\n Main posts and responses<\/a> should include references as appropriate. We will address the following topics: \u2022Fiction \u2022Analyzing Literature This course will cover three genres of literature: fiction, poetry and drama<\/a>.<\/p>\n We are beginning with fiction, and will read several short stories. We begin with an Alice Walker<\/a> short story, \u201cEveryday Use,\u201d a story about a mother and her two daughters, one who has remained home with her while the other has gone off to college and never come back\u2013until now.<\/p>\n While we are generally used to such stories being about the successful college graduate<\/a> coming home to show off how much she\u2019s changed, Walker\u2019s story is really about the mother she left behind.<\/p>\n It is through Mama\u2019s eyes that we see both daughters and it is Mama who changes. As you read Walker\u2019s story, apply the five steps for analysis<\/a> that are in the Analyzing Literature<\/a> reading this week\u2013and also try to use the literary terms listed in that reading when you write your discussion board response<\/a> (where applicable).<\/p>\n DISCUSION ERNEST HEMINGWAY \u201cHILLS LIKE WHITE ELEPHANTS\u201d . One response<\/a> (250 words) second response (300 words) PROMPT: Hemingway<\/a> is best known for his novels, especially The Old Man and the Sea, which won him both a Pulitzer Prize<\/a> and was cited by the Nobel Committee<\/a> when they awarded him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954.<\/p>\n He was also a well-known adventurer<\/a>, war veteran, and world traveler. His writing style was very influential among modernist writers<\/a>\u2014it is sparse and clean, but upon close reading, reveals great depths.<\/p>\n In his 1932 novel Death in the Afternoon, Hemingway<\/a> had this to say about writers, and it tells us a great deal about his approach to his own work: If a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them.<\/p>\n The dignity of movement<\/a> of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. (192) This is called Hemingway\u2019s \u201cIceberg Theory<\/a>\u201d and it certainly applies to \u201cHills Like White Elephants<\/a>.\u201d The story, at first, appears to be nothing more than a conversation between two people; upon closer reading, the conversation<\/a> turns out to be an incredibly<\/a> important one. Please answer the following questions about the story.<\/p>\n 1.Identify and explain something Hemingway<\/a> has included in this story that helps the reader figure out what is being discussed\u2013without him ever having to say it. (You may need to figure out the topic of their conversation<\/a> first).<\/p>\n There are clues everywhere, but Hemingway doesn\u2019t like to share them too overtly. Let\u2019s find them together. Make sure you not only identify these clues but explain what they mean. (Examples\u2013the landscape, the beaded curtains, the luggage, the elephant Jig mentions<\/a>, even the dialogue).<\/p>\n 2.Using the iceberg theory from the introduction<\/a>, choose something else besides the operation<\/a> you think probably has more importance in the story than readers might believe at first, and decide whether Hemingway has written \u201ctruly\u201d enough so that you \u201chave a feeling of [that thing] as strongly as though the writer had stated [it].\u201d<\/p>\n Has he offered enough clues to figure it out? Explain. It\u2019s all right to select something you believe to be minor (it may not be minor at all). If you use the same answer as another student, be sure you are adding something new to the conversation<\/a>.<\/p>\n PROMPT: Peter Davidson<\/a>, who edited Frost\u2019s collection North of Boston notes: Frost \u201clost two children to death in early childhood, another to insanity, another to death after childbirth, and still another (after the death of [his] wife, Elinor) to suicide<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n Given the personal tragedies<\/a> Frost experienced, it seems inevitable that a strain of grief, and perhaps bitterness, would run through his poetry. Select BOTH questions below and write a well-developed paragraph<\/a> or two in response.<\/p>\n Please use at least one supporting detail from the text in your answer. Who is most sympathetic<\/a> here, the husband or Amy? Defend your position using evidence from the poem.<\/p>\n What do you think the speaker means when he says: \u201c\u2018Three foggy mornings<\/a> and one rainy day\/Will rot the best birch fence<\/a> a man can build.\u2019\u201d(96-7)? He\u2019s referring to something more than literal fog<\/a> and rain and fence\u2014what might it be? Based on your own experience(s), is this a fair statement? Explain. Minimum of 300 words for each paragraph<\/a><\/p>\n Metacognition Assignment<\/a> This assignment asks you to think about your thinking process for the paper you wrote on \u201cWhat You Pawn I Will Redeem\u201d Character Analysis<\/a> and how you can improve your analytical thinking<\/a> and writing. Be honest with yourself.<\/p>\n There are several parts to the assignment, so please read and assess carefully. Respond<\/a> to the following prompts. Be sure to use full sentences and correct grammar and punctuation.<\/p>\n 1. Assess your thinking process<\/a> and effort put into Essay 1. Some questions to consider are how much time did you invest? How many drafts \/ revisions did you complete?<\/p>\n How many outside readers<\/a> did you have read it for review and suggestions? If you struggled, what steps did you take to get help? What observations can you make about yourself regarding the process of completing the assignment<\/a>? (5-8 sentences)<\/p>\n 2. Review the correction marks AND the attached scoresheet your professor included on Essay 1.<\/p>\n Summarize the corrections suggested<\/a>. (In your own words, 4-6 sentences)<\/p>\n 3. Think about what you can do to improve your process for the next essay. Detail a plan of action for yourself for the next essay.<\/p>\n (5-8 sentences) the attachment<\/a> is for number 2 Another part to this assignment is : In 200 words or more answer the following question :<\/p>\n Discuss the way Joy Harjo uses language in \u201cThe Woman Hanging from the Thirteenth Floor Window.\u201d Will upload the files for this one in a few<\/p>\n PROMPT: In this two line poem, Pound was attempting to capture a momentary<\/a> image of breathtaking beauty<\/a> in the way he imagined a painter would. We know that he scaled this poem back to two lines from its original thirty so that only the most essential elements<\/a> remained.<\/p>\n The poets who attempted this kind of writing were called \u201cimagists.\u201d Here\u2019s a definition from the University of Pennsylvania<\/a>: \u201cThe Imagists wrote succinct verse of dry clarity and hard outline in which an exact visual image made a total poetic statement.\u201d<\/p>\n (Check the \u201cReadings\/Preparation\u201d area this week for help with this poem). Think about the following: What is the comparison<\/a> Pound makes in this poem? What is he trying to accomplish<\/a> with that comparison?<\/p>\n Now, answer this\u2013 In your opinion, has Pound succeeded in creating an \u201cexact visual image\u201d which makes \u201ca total poetic statement<\/a>?\u201d Support your answer with references to the poem. https:\/\/www.poets.org\/poetsorg\/poem\/station-metro<\/p>\n From the Poetry Foundation webpage<\/a> on Billy Collins: \u201cDubbed \u2018the most popular poet in America\u2019 by Bruce Weber in the New York Times, Billy Collins is famous for conversational<\/a>, witty poems that welcome readers with humor<\/a> but often slip into quirky, tender or profound observation on the everyday, reading and writing, and poetry itself<\/a>.<\/p>\n Collins has offered a slightly different take on his appeal, admitting that his poetry is \u2018suburban<\/a>, it\u2019s domestic, it\u2019s middle class, and it\u2019s sort of unashamedly<\/a> that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Respond<\/a> to the following question: When you first read this poem, did you think it was funny? Why or why not? In reading this poem<\/a>, did you agree more with Bruce Weber\u2019s assessment<\/a> of Collins\u2019 poetry or Collins\u2019 own assessment<\/a>? Both? Neither? In a well-developed paragraph and using at least one example from the poem, explain why.<\/p>\n PROMPT: Alfred Tennyson\u2019s poem, \u201cCharge of the Light Brigade<\/a>,& quote is a poem about what has been called & quote either the most heroic or disastrous episodes in British military history<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n It focuses on an event in the Crimean War (1853-1856), but might be applied to wartime even today. Select the TWO following prompts and explain your position with support from the poem itself.<\/p>\n 1. Defend this position: This poem glorifies war.<\/a><\/p>\n 2. Defend this position: This poem does not glorify war. Background: https:\/\/www.history.com\/this-day-in-history\/charge-of-the-light-brigade<\/p>\n PROMPT: Much Ado About Nothing Acts 1-3 Choose TWO questions from each act and write a paragraph in response<\/a> (three paragraphs total). Before you select the question, make sure there are no questions left unanswered\u2014you should respond to unanswered questions<\/a> first.<\/p>\n This is a good reason to post early\u2014you will have more choices available. Act One What is the backdrop<\/a> for the arrival of Don Pedro and his men? Why is this significant to the plot of the play?<\/p>\n What is the substance of Don Pedro\u2019s private conversation with the lovesick Claudio? Why is Don Pedro<\/a> in such a hurry, do you think? Is it a good idea for him to woo in Claudio\u2019s place? Why or why not? How do we know that Beatrice and Benedick are in a \u201cskirmish of wit<\/a>\u201d?<\/p>\n Who seems to be winning? What is said that leads the audience to believe<\/a> these two have a past, and why is that important, particularly when we reach Act 3 and Don Pedro\u2019s \u201ctrick\u201d? Act Two In what ways does this Act reveal Hero<\/a> to be different from Beatrice, and why might that be true?<\/p>\n Why does her uncle tolerate Beatrice\u2019s insistence on remaining a \u201cmaid\u201d but tell his daughter to accept Prince Don John\u2019s offer of marriage<\/a> (should he make such an offer)? Why does Beatrice tease Benedick at the party, and why is he so upset? What is she insinuating<\/a> about him? Why does he care?<\/p>\n Finally, why does Beatrice turn down Don Pedro\u2019s offer of marriage<\/a>? What happens in this Act between Balthasar and Margaret and Ursula and Antonio? How are these events important to the rest of the play? Act Three In Act 3, we at last hear something from Hero. What does she say?<\/p>\n How is she different when she is among other women than when she is in the company of her father and other men? How does scene one enhance our understanding of her character?<\/p>\n Don\u2019t forget to discuss scene 4. In this Act, Beatrice and Benedick are \u201ctricked\u201d into falling in love. How does it happen, and why is it so easy? (Think about this one carefully). Constable Dogberry<\/a> and the Watch are introduced in this Act. These are civilians who are paid to patrol and stand guard\u2014remember that Leonato, Hero\u2019s father, is Messina\u2019s governor<\/a>.<\/p>\n Why do you think Shakespeare<\/a> introduces them here and why is Dogberry written to be so pompous and uneducated? (Appearances versus reality, perhaps?)<\/p>\n It is a really specific topic. I have a posted a photo in the attached file which is two pages. All you have to relate is that two pages with the whole Mary Shelly\u2019s Frankenstein<\/a>.<\/p>\n You have to follow the discipline like how that pages relate to nature vs nurture aspect<\/a> or Scientific or Natural things. I need that to be deliver in less than 24 hours.<\/p>\n Entries should appear in alphabetical<\/a> order by to author (or by article title in the less-common case when there is not author listed).<\/p>\n Write a paragraph on each source. The sample entries provided in the links below are solid as models, Include a minimum of six sources. Some, though not all, must be peer-reviewed.<\/a><\/p>\n This assignment has two parts. THE FIRST PART I WILL NEED IN 1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTES First part: In a minimum of 4-5 paragraphs in length. You will be writing a literary analysis on a specific poem<\/a>.<\/p>\n Look for literary elements within the poem and discuss how the author uses those elements (a good basic way to approach analysis when you are learning is to see what literary elements the author<\/a> uses and how those elements can support the work\u2019s theme; for example, how does the use of symbolism and imagery<\/a> support the poem\u2019s theme?).<\/p>\n So remember to have a strong introduction<\/a>, with a clear thesis, well-developed body paragraphs that relate to the thesis, and a conclusion<\/a>. Second part: Write a minimum of 200 word on Li- Young Lee poet and explain what it is about that poet\u2019s work that is relevant to readers today. Why did it stand out to you?<\/p>\n Research paper with an Abstract and Annotated Bibliography<\/a>.

Ensure that your work is free of emotion and passion.<\/a><\/p>\n Format your work according to the IEEE template. Proofread your work carefully. I provided 5 articles, only need 4. choose yourself please. Must be IEEE format.<\/p>\n After reading Chapter 5, choose one of the following topics and write a narrative paragraph using the TEST template. Note in this chapter the importance of transition<\/a> words. See the bottom of page 86 for examples.<\/p>\n An embarrassing situation A dangerous experience An instance of injustice<\/a> A time you made a mistake A time you made an important decision An unfortunate date A vacation that didn\u2019t go well A day you would like to forget An encounter that changed your life Keep in mind following important tips: 1) Begin your paragraph<\/a> with a topic sentence.<\/p>\n Your topic sentence (called a \u201cthesis sentence\u201d at the beginning of an essay) needs to identify your subject AND what you are going to say about that subject. For example, the topic on page 86 has the topic sentence, \u201cCreating viral video isn\u2019t easy.\u201d<\/p>\n So, the subject here is \u201ccreating a viral video.\u201d That doesn\u2019t tell the reader much. You also need what can be called a \u201cpoint of significance.\u201d In this case, it is \u201cisn\u2019t easy.\u201d Thus your reader knows immediately what your point of view is going to be about your subject and thus what to expect in this paragraph.<\/p>\n 2) The \u201cmeat\u201d of your paragraph, that is, the evidence must prove or illustrate your point with facts, details, descriptions, reasons, etc. This is what makes your paragraph or essay interesting and convincing<\/a>.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t expect your reader to take your word for anything; show your reader that what you are saying is true or accurate. Recreate<\/a> the experience for them. Pertinent<\/a> details make the paragraph both believable and interesting.<\/p>\n There are two final tasks<\/a> for Level 2 that you must complete. The first task asks you to come up with a tool, made of everyday household<\/a> items. The purpose of this tool<\/a> is to offer a more ergonomic experience for students who often stress and strain their bodies when writing papers: looking down at sources, looking back to the computer screen<\/a> to type, etc.<\/p>\n Then, your job is to write directions on how to construct and use the tool. The second task asks you to conduct usability tests<\/a> to determine the effectiveness of the tool and your directions and then write a memo that reveals the results of the test. Effective instructions<\/a> must always be highly reader-centered<\/a>: meaning they must respond to the needs of readers and users.<\/p>\n Together, these tasks encourage the growth of problem-solving skills<\/a>, grant you experience conducting usability tests<\/a>, recording and presenting data, and asks you to practice writing as a producer who thinks like a consumer<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Particulars<\/a> While I say above that there are two final tasks<\/a> to Level 2, we might argue that there are actually four. As I mentioned above, you will need to do the following: With the ergonomic problem<\/a> in mind, develop and design a tool that helps students overcome that problem.<\/p>\n Your tool doesn\u2019t have to solve the problem completely, but it should still be useful. Then, you have to build the tool using every day household items\u2014or at least items that can be easily obtained via the Internet<\/a>.<\/p>\n It should be simple enough that almost anyone could make the tool and use it. The deliverable<\/a> for this task is an instruction set. The instructions must do two things: A) direct the reader how to construct the tool and B) instruct the reader on how to use the tool.<\/p>\n The design and language<\/a> of this document should keep the reader in mind\u2014who is going to be using this tool and reading your instructions<\/a>? How can you best convey to these readers how to make and use your tool via text and design? The next step is to have no fewer than 2, but ideally 3 (three is the magic number) people attempt to construct and use the tool you designed. This is the actual usability test<\/a>.<\/p>\n You should conduct this test in a controlled environment<\/a> to avoid outside interference and to prevent skewed test results. Observe any difficulties the subjects experience<\/a> with the instructions doing so will help you revise your instructions to make them even better.<\/p>\n Record the amount of time that subjects require to understand and correctly construct<\/a> and use the tool. Also note any questions<\/a> which you\u2019re not allowed to answer! that the subjects<\/a> ask or anything else that subjects do or say while constructing and using the tool.<\/p>\n You might encourage your subjects to \u201cthink out loud\u201d while completing the usability test.

(Hint: You might have to think about this some). What were the results of your usability test?<\/p>\n How did you revise your instructions as a result? In your own estimation<\/a>, what are the most effective elements<\/a> of your materials? Why do you think so? If given more time and resources, what would you have like to have done differently?<\/p>\n How do you think that these differences<\/a> would have improved your materials?
