Outline Analysis of a Controversial Topic

Outline Analysis of a Controversial Topic – INSTRUCTIONS
Overall Description:
This assignment is an opportunity to use many of the various critical thinking methods, strategies, and concepts that we have read or discussed this semester.

You will be required to analyze ONE topic using two single coherent recent contemporary arguments each written by one (different) person FROM A DIFFERENT SOURCE expressing that persons point of view. One article should be in support ((PRO) of the same topic and the other should be against it (CON). Do not write about two different topics. Both articles must be written 2018 to present. Other than the two articles, NO OUTSIDE REFERENCES OR INFORMATION CAN BE USED.

Instructions for the Outline Analysis Assignment: This is NOT an essay; it is an outline analysis in which a template must be used in typed MLA format.
You will analyze ONE topic and give the pro and con arguments using TWO different current articles written by two different people (not an organization or advocacy group or blog). This is a continuation of our study about points of view as a critical thinking element and how they are presented to persuade others.

The template that you MUST use for the final submission is located as an indented section under this module. You may wish to review the sample TEMPLATE on page 355 AND read the STUDENT EXAMPLE PAPER beginning on page 361. Both will help you produce the final work properly formatted.

IMPORTANT: Please address ALL required template categories even if your answer is: Missing Information: There is no missing information in this article.

Same topic BUT one article must be clearly in strong support (PRO) and the other article has to support the opposite (CON) side of the topic.

These articles must support an argument; do not select articles that are reports which present equal totally unbiased information about the pro and con sides.
DO NOT USE WEAK OR WISHY WASHY ARTICLES FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT. The analysis will be much more interesting when strong support is demonstrated for the pro and con sides. (See pg. 230 of the textbook for definition of argument vs. report.)

Outline Format Used in This Assignment: Offer your analysis of each argument (article) in order. That means to complete the analysis for PRO article and then complete the same outline for the CON article.

Topics:  Immigration (i.e. ICE raids, the wall, DREAMers)

Obtaining Information & Sources
While you may NOT use the articles found on www.procon.org (Links to an external site.), I encourage you to access it for ideas on topics to research. Again, I do not want articles from this site used to research your topic; use them for information only. Find your topic, read it, make notes as to possible ideas, and then SEARCH FOR OTHER SOURCES to write the analysis. (See below)

Sources requirements:
Must be current (2018 to present)
Must be in English language
Use established and alternative newspapers or magazines (no blogs, Huffington Post, Wikipedia)
Writers of both articles MUST have a first and last name listed (no anonymous people)
You may also research from the lists of magazines and viewpoints on pg. 207 in the textbook. However, the articles must be from different sources (i.e.  both articles pro and con cannot be from The Economist highly unlikely that will happen, but, just in case)

HERE IS A PARTIAL LIST OF SUGGESTED SOURCES:

The Wall Street Journal (Links to an external site.)

The New York Times (Links to an external site.)

Chicago Tribune (Links to an external site.)

Los Angeles Times (Links to an external site.)

The Washington Post (Links to an external site.)

Online Concert Review

December 8, 2020 Leave a comment Art, MLA

Attend a performance of art music, including repertoire from any periods or genres in which you have an interest (music should not be amplified, or from popular or jazz genres. Ballet performances are fine if the music is performed live- please focus on the instrumental/vocal components of any multi-art performance). This concert should include a printed program and must be attended in its entirety. In order to receive full credit for this assignment, you must submit a detailed response paper (minimum two full pages typed, double spaced, Times New Roman 12 point font with inch margins on all sides) with commentary on a minimum of three works: one from the beginning of the program, one from the middle, and one performed at the end of the concert (please include composers and titles). Please do not paraphrase, plagiarize, or copy any program notes that were provided; I am looking for your personal reaction to the music, not a historical overview of the works in question. You may choose to write about the concert environment, the performers, audience members, or aspects of the pieces or performance that you found noteworthy. I will be looking for correct usage of musical vocabulary and evidence that you are developing listening skills (please make at least one comment on aspects of sound, melody, rhythm, harmony, texture or form). Please include a scan/photo of the program cover and performance order listing. This can most easily be done using a camera phone and including the images on a separate page at the end of the document.

You will necessarily utilize terms related to music and reference stylistic features presented in our in-class reference materials (articles and writings) that relate to specific time periods. You will likely make comparisons of the performed repertoire to other musics presented (recordings) and discussed in class. This may include expressing your opinions about performance quality as well (application of information literacy).

It is interesting to know about your personal reactions to music from various style periods, compositional methods, and specific composers (as relevant), and these writings also serve to display your advancing critical and creative inquiries (analysis and interpretation of historical and performance practices) throughout the course of the semester. They will also serve to strengthen your communication about those analyses and interpretations.

Please do not borrow printed materials from Wikipedia or other online resources, or copy from the Program Notes that may have been provided at the concert.

Personal request: English is my second language, use less slangs or something like that.

Personal belief essay

December 8, 2020 Leave a comment English and Literature, MLA

Tell a story about you: Be specific. Take your belief out of the ether and ground it in the events that have shaped your core values. Consider moments when belief was formed or tested or changed. Think of your own experience, work, and family, and tell of the things you know that no one else does. Your story need not be heart-warming or gut-wrenchingit can even be funnybut it should be real. Make sure your story ties to the essence of your daily life philosophy and the shaping of your beliefs.

Be brief: Your statement should be between 500 and 800 words. Thats about three minutes when read aloud at your natural pace.

Name your belief: If you cant name it in a sentence or two, your essay might not be about belief. Also, rather than writing a list, consider focusing on one core belief.

Be positive: Write about what you do believe, not what you dont believe. Avoid statements of religious dogma, preaching, or editorializing.

Be personal: Make your essay about you; speak in the first person. Avoid speaking in the editorial we. Tell a story from your own life; this is not an opinion piece about social ideals. Write in words and phrases that are comfortable for you to speak. We recommend you read your essay aloud to yourself several times, and each time edit it and simplify it until you find the words, tone, and story that truly echo your belief and the way you speak.
