Outline for AW essay

Here's the process we're walking (or running) through.

  1. What are the obstacles that you think are the most important/fixable
    1. Find 2-4. (For rough drafts)
      1. Put in your own words
    2. Find page numbers and quotes to help define these obstacles.
      1. Explain the quotes
  2. What are the solutions to those obstacles as presented in the books
    1. Find 1-2 solutions
      1. Put in your own words (for rough drafts)
    2. Find page numbers and quotes to help define the solutions
      1. Explain the quotes (For final drafts)
  3. What are the solutions you or your classmates have come up with?
    1. Put 1-2 in your own words
    2. Find evidence outside the books to support your ideas.

One Way to Organize This Essay

Paragraph 1: Intro (hook, background, thesis)

Paragraph 2: Obstacle 1 (define using texts)

        Solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)

        Other solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)

Option for each body paragraph—add an example of the obstacle and solution from the texts or from other source.

For ex: (obstacle) Angela Whitiker struggled to complete her degree because she lacked reliable childcare. –find quote that explains family structure from CM and/or childcare dilemma in N&D'd

(solution) She would have been able to complete her degree more quickly if she didn't have that concern and instead could have put her children in a clean, safe, predictable environment, like the ones proposed by Ready By Five.—quote Ready by Five website.

Paragraph 3: Obstacle 2 (define using texts)

        Solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)

        Other solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)

Paragraph 4: Obstacle 3 (define using texts)

        Solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)

        Other solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)

Paragraph 5: Obstacle 4 (define using texts)

        Solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)

        Other solution to obstacle (define using texts, outside sources)

Paragraph 6: C-A: Some might say, others might say, I say. (Right before end or right after intro is a good place for this) Acknowledging the other ideas is a good start. Conceding/Defeating them as top priorities will be more credible and convincing, thus putting you on the fast track to better score for C-A.

Paragraph 7: Conclusion

State Fair and Sawmill

State Fair Park Plans

Sawmill site: Boise Cascade Bears?

High Roac Contracting

Government Contracts require living wage?

Culture and Poverty

Here's an article K. Cleveringa found on the topic. Quotes from a New Republic article (which is a legit source).

And incredibly, it combines the Expert Performance Movement we talked about in child soccer and the number and type of words addressed to children in differing economic levels.

And, be sure to read the readers' comment section for some good back and forth. I'm not sure I agree with this guy's conclusions about when it all went wrong--and the numbers aren't there to back it up as far as church going is concerned.

The Great Disruption

(This is reposted from last year at this time)

Here's Friedman's latest editorial:
We have created a system for growth that depended on our building more and more stores to sell more and more stuff made in more and more factories in China, powered by more and more coal that would cause more and more climate change but earn China more and more dollars to buy more and more U.S. T-bills so America would have more and more money to build more and more stores and sell more and more stuff that would employ more and more Chinese ...

We can’t do this anymore.

And, for those visual learners:

The Story of Stuff

Here's part of the counter argument to globalization.

Day 28

English 102 Lesson Plan Day 28

  1. Bonus points?
  2. Meet in C210 tomorrow for research/rough draft writing time
  3. On a piece of paper, write down the names of the articles you found from the YHR, Google and One Search.
  4. Six quotes from TWIF is just for starters.
  5. Six articles is just for starters.
  6. One way to do this is with quotes on notecards
    1. Quote on one side.
    2. Works Cited information on the other
    3. For my senior year in HS research paper, (20 pages) I had 150 of these.
    4. For my senior year in college (35 pages) I had 300 or so.
    5. For my master's thesis, (100 pages!) I had close to a thousand notecards.
  7. Then, I'd go through them and arrange them in subjects.
  8. Then I'd pick three or four that were really good and fit together.
  9. Then I'd write my rough draft and find more, rearrange them, cut them.
    1. I still have them, which is sort of sad. What am I going to do with 150 notecards about the Sharpeville Massacre in South Africa in 1960? But I'm proud of the work and can't just toss it…
  10. Share your quotes from TWIF in groups.
  11. Share your links in groups.
  12. Meet tomorrow in C210 for research/question time.
  13. The Counter Argument
  14. Too Sick
    1. HIV-AIDS, malaria, TB, polio (and Gates)
    2. Pandemic (have you seen 28 days later? You get the picture)
  15. Too Disempowered
    1. Half-flat world—in India high tech is .2 percent of employment.
    2. Rural voters
  16. Too Frustrated
    1. Cultures feel threatened, frustrated, humiliated
    2. Differences coming into contact, including online.
    3. Threat of openness
    4. Abandon religion to join advances or retreat to fundamentalism
  17. Too Many Toyotas
    1. natural resources, oil, timber, etc
    2. environmental destruction
  18. Homework—For three of your sources: Answer the questions on page 340 of Hacker
    1. Authorship
      1. Who is it?
      2. Are they knowledgeable and credible?
    2. Sponsorship
      1. Who sponsors the site?
      2. What does the URL tell you?
    3. Purpose and Audience
      1. Why was the cite created? Argue, sell, or inform?
      2. Who is the sites intended audience?
    4. Currency
      1. How current is the site?

How current are the links?

Superbowl Ad from 1983

An exercise in Web Evaluation

Using Guest workers/Immigration as a model.

What is credible?

Has it been edited/reviewed? (avoid the ~ in the URL)
Is the author an expert or a guy in his pajamas?
Is it trying to sell you something?
Does it have a "works cited" section?
Are there clues to bias?
Do they over-rely on emotion?
Does it looks cheesy?

Wikipedia

Guest workers in WaPo

Guest workers won't work

Guest Workers won't work

MinuteMen

If we look closer...

Let's try again

Look closer and...

How about on the other side?

To be "fair"

Links, Links, Links

Good work. Now to dig through it…


My suggestion is to look at URL's to find topics where they are not otherwise listed.

I'd also suggest using the "find on this page" feature under the edit menu to search for key terms.
