Day: November 8, 2020

This will be modeled after the true academic peer review system (as this is our research course). Substantial letters of 300 words, to each of your partners, will be the expectation here, as will the expectation to focus on higher order concerns of content, organization, analytical depth, evidence use, and style, over and above editing one anothers papers. I will grade you on the letters you write to your two partners. Upload both letters to your partners in the canvas assignment space for me to grade.(And, obviously, email them to your partners too!)

THERE ARE TWO PAPERS PLEASE ONLY DO A ACADEMIC PEER REVIEW OF 150 WORDS EACH PLEASE

The final project for this class will be an applied project that requires research and demonstration of effective virtual communication skills. This Final is worth 100 points (75 points for the project and 25 points for related Reflection #5).
You may work independently or in pairs. Students who choose to work in pairs must inform the professor of their pairing by Nov. 1, 2020. It is strongly recommended that students discuss their plans for splitting the workload in advance as both members will receive the same final grade.
Directions: Choose a social justice issue that is not well-known. The issue should be current and have a disproportionate impact a specific marginalized population. You will use online tools to inform a larger audience, unfamiliar with the issue and population, about the issue. The interactive component will include collecting feedback from the public, a focus group, or experts (depending on the project option you choose) on ways to help solve the issue.
Choose one of the final project options (due on Dec. 2, 11:59 p.m.):
Public Service Announcement (PSA) with Crowdsourcing Element: Create a 30 second to 1 minute video about the issue and people impacted. Include with a call to “action” at the end of the video. This “action” should include a way for viewers to share or submit creative solutions (read the article on ethical crowdsourcing). Collect these suggestions via a poll, # on social media, responses on Youtube, etc.
Research Presentation (slides and audio): Interactive Zoom webinar (8-10 PPT slides and one poll) presentation(30-45 min.) with at least three active participants in attendance. The slides should be informative, not text-heavy, and they should provide a clear description and overview of the issue and people impacted. The poll should be one of multiple interactive components in the webinar. The recording should be uploaded to Youtube or to a cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox,…) and the link shared with the professor.
Zoom Interviews (video of both student and interviewees): The goal of the interviews is to gain a better understanding of the scope of the issue, what is being done to solve the issue, and what could be done to get the public involved.
You will interview three people (via Zoom) who are experts in the area of social justice you are focused on. Interviewees will be introduced with a 1-2 min. bio about their role, expertise. Interviewers will draft 4-6 open-ended questions provided to the instructor and interviewee prior to the interviews. Each interview should be 6-10 min. The recordings should be uploaded to Youtube or to a cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox,…) and the link shared with the professor.
A reflection on the project will be required as outlined in Reflection #5 (due on Dec. 3, 11:59 p.m.

Writing notes assignment For this assignment, you will use a guided prompt to write notes that will help you better understand how to approach the persuasive essay. I will attach the requirements in the rubric for the assignment.
To double check that your chosen issue will work for the persuasive essay project, ask yourself if it meets these three requirements
1. Does the issue have two clear and arguable sides?
2. Is the issue researchable?
Can you find reputable sources to represent both sides of the issue?
3. Is the issue related to your career or degree?

The questions below will ask you to consider how the following critical elements relate to your issue:

argument*
key points*
audience*
goal*
potential resources*
evidence*
This process will allow you to develop a plan for persuading readers to agree with your argument. This plan will be helpful in keeping your thought process on track when you begin writing and revising your essay. Each response should be one fully developed paragraph in length.
Key words
Using the guided activity below, come up with a list of potential keywords to use while conducting research for the persuasive essay. Review the examples provided to make sure you’re on the best route.  I Need a brain mapping list of keywords and a list of the main topics of topics and supporting topics I will attach all necessary information. Also I have attached a copy of my journal I have already submitted in the notes from my teacher the topic for my paper for the semester is going to be drug therapy versus cognitive therapy
