Unit VI Scholarly Activity

Junctionville Memo

Junctionville was struggling; small factories in this community in the southeast United States were closing as their jobs moved to low-wage Asian countries. Some residents moved away to seek work, which resulted in a 10% population decline and the closing of some local retailers.

Then, several years later, Junctionville was selected as the location of a major automotive assembly plant that was being moved from the high-cost, industrial Midwest to the lower cost, nonunion Southeast. The plant is up and operating, and Junctionville is growing again. New subdivisions and businesses are springing up to support the increasing population.

Recently, Junctionville and two other nearby communities were contacted by representatives for MeggaMart, who want to open a new supercenter store. MeggaMart is a large, global chain that sells groceries and every household, yard, and garage item imaginable at low prices. You are a member of the MeggaMart public relations (PR) staff. You just got off the phone with the director of PR for MeggaMart who told you that Junctionville would hold a public hearing in a month on the request to build the new store, and she would like you to speak for the company at the hearing.

She also told you that while MeggaMart had approached three communities, their preference was Junctionville because of its proximity to the assembly plant and a particularly favorable available site for the store. She also told you there was some opposition because of potential traffic and noise since the proposed site was near a new residential area. Some residents were concerned about who would be attracted to the area late at night since the store would be open 24 hours a day due to shift work at the assembly plant.

Prepare a business memo to the director of PR for approval, and outline the important points you think you should bring up at the hearing. Your memo should be able to answer the questions below.

What are the benefits to the community of the store?
What is MeggaMarts response to the concerns of some residents?
Should MeggaMart offer any concessions to address residents concerns, and, if so, what are they?

Companies are adopting lean practices, including inventory management, to improve their operations. Do you think these principles would help manage your household? Which do you think would be the most helpful?

Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.

Imagine that you work for a company in a small town in the Midwest where it is the dominant employer. You just found out that your company is considering moving its production facilities to a small town in the South where costs are lower. Many other businesses in the Midwest town, such as restaurants, banks, service stations, and grocery stores, will be negatively affected. Do you think the company has a social responsibility to take this into account with its relocation decision? Explain your reasoning.

Your journal entry must be at least 200 words. No references or citations are necessary.

Unit 7: Peer Review

22 unread replies.22 replies.

We will use this discussion area to facilitate peer review of one essay you have selected for your portfolio. Before you get started, please read the assignment for the portfolio, and note the amended due dates for this unit’s activities on the Unit Seven unit homepage. This unit’s peer review will be focused on what composition researchers call “lower-order concerns”that is, word choice, sentence variety, sentence-level grammar, documentation formatting, punctuation, and overall “correctness.”

Assessment: See the Grading and Assessment content item under Course Information.

A NOTE ABOUT BALANCE: So that everyone benefits as much as possible from this process, respond to an essay that has not been read yet or that has only one response before adding a third response to another essay. An essay should not have three responses if other essays posted in the thread have just one response. It is, of course, possible for an essay to receive three or more responses, but in fairness to everyone in the class, see that peer response is distributed evenly when possible.

Peer Review Process

The process for this unit’s peer review will be as follows:

Step One: As early in the unit as possible, but definitely by Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. CT, prepare your draft.

Step Two: Attach your draft to your discussion post in .doc, .docx, or .rtf by Wednesday at 11:59 p.m. CT. In the body of your post, give us a paragraph or so of context: why you selected this essay for the portfolio, what areas of the essay you are pleased with, and which areas you believe need more work. Then, describe those errors that you commonly make (referring to “The Top Twenty” in Easy Writer) and the elements of your paper you would like your peer reader to help you improve.

Step Three: Identify another student whose essay has not yet been peer-reviewed. Read the essay and respond to the writer no later than Friday at 11:59 p.m. CT. I suggest you use the line-editing strategy called “beginning at the bottom” to give the essay a good, close read for distracting errors. Simply begin at the end of the essay and move sentence by sentence backwards.

When reading the essay, you might:

• Look for sentences that begin with “There is….” Sentences that rely on this construction over-use “be” verbs (is, are, was, were, been) and can be tightened (see Easy Writer, pp. 101-102 for strategies to recommend to the writer).
• Look for “empty” words (i.e., “kind of” or “thing”) that can be removed or vague modifiers (i.e., “definitely,” “major,” “really,” “like,” and “very”) that don’t add meaning (see Easy Writer, p. 100-101).
• Look for places were apostrophes should be present to indicate possession, and note needed changes (see Easy Writer, pp. 122-125).
• Look for another common error: lack of agreement between pronoun and antecedent (see Easy Writer, pp. 84-87). This most often occurs when a writer has referred to a singular antecedent using a plural pronoun. For instance, this sentence is in error: “The writer accomplished their purpose. In fact, “their” should be “his or her.
• Look for sentences that start with a subordinating word (see Easy Writer, pp. 96-100 for a list of subordinating words), often indicating a sentence fragment (see Easy Writer, pp. 90-94).
• Note the writer’s sentence variety (or lack thereof) and recommend a paragraph that could easily be revised.
• Note (by paragraph number) the areas of the paper that need more attention to sentence- level concerns, or that contain a blatant spelling or grammar error or typo.

Step Four: Return to this thread periodically before Sunday to ask and answer any follow-up questions.

 

First, for your final writing assignment, discuss how women and/or other marginalized peoples can engage in acts of resistance as it relates to sexuality. This is a very open ended prompt to intentionally allow for critical and creative thinking, but please note that you must explicitly engage with course materials. You must cite from the text.

 

Then, choose one topic or issue that you learned about this semester and discuss why/how it had the biggest effect on either your knowledge, your self/identity, your relationships or your sense of advocacy/justice. Try to tie in the text/materials (from any module).

Why This Assignment Is Important

This portfolio serves as the core assessment measure for EN106 at Park University. Let’s consider that term for a moment. At Park, a “core assessment” is a required assignment that is common across all sections of a course, both online and face-to-face. This assignment is meant to serve as a tool for instructors to evaluate student learning across sections, terms, campus centers, and modalities. In other words, the portfolio is your opportunity to show off what you have learned in this course, and an opportunity for Park faculty to learn more about how our teaching works. Ideally, we use the lessons from your core assessments to inform changes to curriculum. As you prepare the portfolio, think about using it to make an argument: to use a metaphor from the law, you should make a case for what you have learned this term in EN106.

Your portfolio should demonstrate what you know about academic research and writing. Your EN106 portfolio is a “best works portfoliothat is, your portfolio should be a collection of your strongest, most polished academic writing. It will contain three primary pieces: a reflective essay, your two best essays from this class, and artifacts from your writing process. 

For most students, the two essays will be the same two essays you improved through revision and expansion in Unit Four and Unit Six.

The next Canvas page will describe in more detail the expectations for your portfolio, and some of the possibilities for how you might organize it.

Assessment Standards

Your portfolio will be evaluated as a whole according to the following assessment standards. Please note that while these standards are similar to those used to grade your essays throughout the course, they are not identical. Please read through these assessment criteria and ensure that your portfolio demonstrates each outcome. In general terms, significant weakness in any one of these areas reduces the grade of your portfolio by a letter grade. However, serious weakness in one area can lead to the loss of two or three letter grades or to a failing grade. We can also discuss these grading criteria in the Instructor’s Office.

 

Think about all of the stories we’ve read for this class so far. 

• “A&P”
• “The Man Who Was Almost a Man”
• “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?”
• “The Lottery”
• “The Storm”
• “Everyday Use”
• “The Things They Carried”
• “This is What it Means to Say Phoenix, Arizona”
• “A Worn Path”

For this journal entry, write about two of these stories that either (a) share a theme, which means that both stories essentially make the same point in their own ways or (b) share a topic, but have differing themes, which means they make different points about the same topic. For example, if there are two stories about growing up that seem to make the same point, that would be option (a); if there were two stories that each made a different point about growing up, that would be option (b). 

In your journal entry, write about the two stories and their themes. How are they expressed in the story? What other literary elements contribute to the theme (symbol, setting, etc)? What quotes show or emphasize the theme? Is the theme the same as the lesson learned by the main character?

Your journal entry should be about 1 page long, written in an academic style. There’s no formatting requirements for journal entries, but be sure you include the names of the stories and authors. If you use quotes from the stories, be sure to include page numbers. Do not consult or use outside sources for this assignment. This is a journal entry, so no introduction or conclusion is required. Just be sure you follow the assignment, answer the questions, proofread carefully, use complete sentences, and include details to support your points.
