What to do, short version Analyze a specific theme that you find when you compare the literacy histories written by this class. Long version The literacy histories written by the class (e.g., the answers to the Questionnaires that everyone completed) are what your writing must discuss and be about. You can access these answers here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1shHGNkv2qIrLym6PS2up6h1ZzjVBTIJt4xAyvJ5alMo/edit?usp=sharing (I AM PERSON NUMBER 5, THOSE ARE MY ANSWERS) Compare the Literacy Histories Questionnaire answers in order to find patterns and trends as well as differences and outliers among a substantial number of answers. (Fewer than 25% would be too few.) Find a Specific Theme among these patterns, trends, differences, and outliers to write aboutsomething that interests you, that matters in some way, and that you can connect to Brandt’s discussion of reading, writing, and literacy (. Such themes include the ones we discussed in class [will add later], but you might come up with a different one instead. Analyze your evidence (the Questionnaire answers) to support this theme and to show readers where it came from. Brandt (I attached this in my order) will serve as a good model for analyzing this evidence: She listened carefully to what her interview subjects said, just as you should read the Questionnaire answers carefully She noticed similarities and differences among the interviews and used them to develop categories to discuss the interviews in aggregate (summarizing them in big groupings) From these categories, she came up with her claims about reading, writing, and literacy She supported her claims in more detail by introducing us to several individual subjects and quoting and paraphrasing part of what they said to her Sometimes she used quantitative (numerical) methods to discuss the data, counting up who said what; often she used more qualitative methods to speculate on what the data might mean. Analyzing is a crucial skill in college. You can find out more about written analysis at https://lsa.umich.edu/sweetland/undergraduates/writing-guides/how-can-i-create-stronger-analysis-.html How to structure your LHA Come up with a title specific to your theme (e.g., not “Literacy Histories Analysis”). Mostly in the first couple of paragraphs but perhaps a bit later as well and drawing on Swales (I attached this in my order) research: Establish a Territory; use a quotation, paraphrase, and summary of Brandts article to help you show that the context for your researchliteracyis a topic that matters. (A short example of a summary: This article highlights the contrast and relationship between reading and writing based on 40 interviews gathered from people of all walks of life. Reading was a considered a family activity done for enjoyment and encouraged by parents. Writing on the other hand was more personal and often dreaded activity that was only advocated in school. Brandt views literacy as the collection of past experiences.) Establish a Niche, a space that needs to be filled through additional research (Swales 13) by indicating a gap, raising a question, and/or continuing a tradition. (You dont know enough about the research on literacy to challenge Brandts findings, but you could raise a question about them based on the literacy histories from the class.) Occupy a Niche: outline your purpose (e.g., what theme did you find and why does it matter?), announce the present research (e.g., describe the “subjects” of this study [the class] and the Questionnaires they filled out), announce your principle findings (e.g., how do the Questionnaire answers serve as evidence for the theme you found?), and indicate the structure of your article. NOTE: this suggestion might seem counter-intuitive, but it will be much easier if you write some of this AFTER you’ve written the middle/body paragraphs and know more specifically what your analysis will focus onand therefore the gap it is filling. In the middle/body paragraphs, get down to business and analyze the theme you chose from the literacy histories, using the following moves: Support your theme by providing a mix of quotations, paraphrases, and summaries of these Questionnaire answers. Say HOW this quoted, paraphrased, and summarized evidence supports your theme, because readers won’t necessarily be able to make the connection on their own. More specifically, discuss the Questionnaire answers in aggregate (large groupings), categorized by patterns or trends. You might use quantitative/numerical methods to analyze the data (e.g., count up different kinds of answers and/or how many people answered one way and not another). And if you like, you can represent this quantitative analysis visually, with a pie chart, bar graph, or Word Cloud. You should use qualitative methods to speculate on what these data mean or suggest about literacy, perhaps in the specific community you write about. Offer a detailed analysis of one answer or several related answers that are evidence for your theme. You might write up a “case example” of one or more of the subjects whose literacy history illustrates your theme (including, perhaps, yourself). And/or you might compare two case examples in a way that supports your theme. You must maintain your subjects anonymity, so dont use their names. Instead, refer to them by number (e.g., “Student 7”). At the end: Find a way to conclude: for instance, Brandt calls on other writing researchers to broaden their scope. Who is your audience and what do you want to say to them? Include a Works Cited list with an entry for Brandt. Other requirements The only sources you may use are Brandt (which you must cite) and the Literacy History Questionnaire answers (which you don’t need to cite because they aren’t published). Don’t use anything else. 3-5 pages, double spaced, using a 12-point font, with 1-inch margins. This Analysis will count as 25% of your term grade.

This is the prompt Begin by reviewing the text concerning ethical culture and communication. Next, imagine that you are the leader of an organization in the field of which you are intending to make your career and the ethical culture of this organization is unhealthy. You are concerned and want to steer the culture in the right direction. Pretend that you and several committees have already investigated the nature of the unhealthy ethical culture. Through a memo of at least 600 words, citing at least one IWG reference (your text is fine), address the members of your organization. The audience can be all members of the organization or a certain section. Be sure that each of the following elements are included in your 600 words: 1. A description of the organization. 2. A detailed description as to what is unhealthy about the current ethical culture of the organization. 3. A clear description of the goal or goals to be attained. 4. An example of another organizational culture that has a healthy ethical culture. Use one of the many examples in the text or find your own citing an outside resource in IWG formatting. 5. A discussion of how ethical culture will continue to be evaluated, so that future problems can be quickly identified and culture continuously improved.

Description In the course of our study of literature this term, we have focused on how literary writers produced writings that are a response to a culture or societys way of seeing the world. For this paper assignment, Process To do this, you should become as familiar as you can with the scope of daily national and international news events. As often as possible, preferably on a daily basis, peruse the headlines and news stories of The New York Times at nytimes.com. Identify news stories whose themes you can relate in some way to one or more of the literary texts weve read in the course. Think about ways in which you might relate the literature weve read to some aspect of these news stories what issues, questions, and conflicts resonate in both the news issue and the literature youve read? Once you decide on a news topic that interests you and one that parallels in some way the writings weve studied, learn more about the issue by clicking the Times Topics tab located in the row of files on the top left of the New York Times online screen on the first (main) page (just above the newspapers banner). On the Times Topics page, youll find a searchable index of all the archived stories about that topic. Read as many articles and relevant links as you are able to in order to gain a wide and deep knowledge about the topic. (Note: Eventually you will run out of allowable articles and be asked to purchase a subscription. You are not expected to purchase anything to complete the assignment. After you’ve fully utilized the Times Topics tool, you may research other news sources if needed but any alternative news source you use should be approved through me.) Paper Write a 900-1200 word (3-4 page typed, double-spaced, 11 or 12-size font) discussion of how your reading of two of the assigned literary texts helps us to better understand the complex nature of a significant news event. Start by describing why the news event is significant and then develop a discussion about how the literary texts youve chosen especially resonate with the contemporary topic. What is similar in both the texts and the contemporary event? What are some notable differences in the texts and the contemporary event? How can you help your reader better understand the contemporary event thru the lens of the texts? Be as creative with your choice of texts and discussion as you wish, but you must ground your discussion by quoting and paraphrasing directly from the literary texts as often as possible. Be sure to give your paper an attractive title that reflects the main idea of your discussion. Proofread your paper carefully for correct English grammar and conventions.
