[Solved] ENGL147N – Week 1 Assignment- Argument Research Essay Topic and Proposal

Instructions

The goal of an argument research proposal is to create a working argument stance and a basic plan that considers context, audience, and purpose and that presents potential approaches to research.

Keep in mind that rather than being an outline or structural plan for your essay, this proposal should ground you in the conversation, should offer direction for research needs, and should give your professor ample focused material viable for providing effective feedback before you begin researching and writing.

Access the Proposal Template and complete the three required sections.

For an example proposal and development techniques, refer to your textbook reading for the week.

Writing Requirements (APA format):

For proper APA format, please see the APA section in the Chamberlain Writing Center.

• Length: About 1 ½ – 2 pages (not including references page)
• 1-inch margins
• Double spaced
• 12-point Times New Roman font

[Solved] ENGL147N – Week 1 Discussion- You Do Have a Voice; You Do Have a Perspective- Explore a Topic and Viewpoints

For our first discussion, we will simply begin thinking about the course theme and some of the topics and debates surrounding the course theme.
Please answer the following in your initial discussion post.

1. Read the course theme announcement. What is the course theme?
2. Which debates in the course theme announcement interest you the most? List two of the debates from the course theme announcement (you may list more than two).
3. For each debate, where do you stand (What is your opinion?) and why? 
4. Finally, choose from those two debates: Which one do you think you are more likely to write about? Why? In this response, please integrate and cite material from either your textbook or from the Week One lesson to support your answer to the question, “Why?”

Follow-Up Post Instructions

Respond to at least one classmate. Please provide rich, substantive, constructive feedback that will help your fellow students develop their topics by asking questions, by pointing to possible opposing viewpoints (which is helpful, because, without opposing viewpoints, we do not have an argument), and by providing professional and personal examples. A respectful, professional tone is expected.

Note: If you see that someone has already received feedback from two peers, please choose to help a peer who has yet to obtain feedback. Check back regularly and reply to those who have responded to you, including any classmates and/or your instructor.

Writing Requirements

• Minimum of 2 posts (1 initial & 1 follow-up)
• Minimum of 1 source cited (textbook or lesson)
• APA format for in-text citations and list of references (see the APA section in the Chamberlain Writing Center)

[Solved] ENGL147N – Week 2 Assignment- Pre-writing, Argumentative Essay Introduction and Thesis, an Argumentative Plan, and First Sources

Instructions

For this assignment, you will continue to pre-write and plan for your argument research essay by applying pre-writing to your thesis from Week 1 (revised as necessary according to instructor feedback and your own further thought). You will also construct a first draft of your full introduction paragraph, modeling what you have learned from your Week 2 lesson. Finally, you will provide a list of at least four scholarly sources in APA Style that represent an equal number of sources that support your stance and sources that oppose your stance. See the APA section in the Chamberlain Writing Center for correct referencing of scholarly sources.

Access the Week 2 Assignment Template and complete the four required sections:

• Your Current Thesis
• Pre-writing
• A Draft of Your Full Introduction Paragraph
• List of Sources in APA Style (see the APA section in the Chamberlain Writing Center for correct referencing of scholarly sources)

For tips on and an example of what to do and what to avoid when writing an introduction, refer to the Week 1 lesson.

[Solved] ENGL147N – Week 2 Discussion- Humble yet Assertive Agreeing with Opponents Concession and Refutation, and Workshopping toward Your Week 2 Assignment

Instructions

With your specific argument stance (thesis/claim) in mind, locate one scholarly source with opinions that do not agree with your own stance. Using Toulmin’s model, demonstrate the use of concession and refutation to rebut an opposing viewpoint, keeping in mind the importance of a humble yet assertive tone.

Steps: In 2 rich paragraphs, answer the following as related to your stance for your argument essay:

1. Locate a specific opposing point within the article: Note one point in this article that opposes your stance, using proper source integration and citation techniques.
2. Concession: Although the point is in opposition to your own stance, describe the merits of the point. What elements of the point do you see as valid? Who in your own audience might agree with this opposing source and why?
3. Refutation: Although you are able to find merits to the point and to see that some readers may agree with this opposing viewpoint, how will you refute the point? What might you say and do to convince readers that despite holding some merit, the viewpoint is not as valid or useful as your own stance on the issue? How will your approach to this opposing viewpoint influence your audience’s reaction to your essay? Remember to use correct quotation or paraphrasing techniques with correct APA in-text citation.

[Solved] ENGL147N – Week 3 Assignment- Guided Annotated Bibliography- Reading Critically and Practicing Summary, Paraphrase, and Quotation

Instructions

For this assignment, complete the following:

• Review from the lesson and textbook readings argumentative appeals, models for argument, effective and correct use of sources, and the purposes for/examples of annotated bibliographies.  Assess any feedback provided by the professor and/or your peers from discussion.
• Refer to the “Sample Week 3 Assignment” document for success.
• Compose a full, rich, detailed paragraph discussing your research goals. The “Sample Week 3 Assignment” document will guide you.
  • Compose a full, rich, detailed paragraph discussing your research goals. The “Sample Week 3 Assignment” document will guide you.
  • Compose full APA References for six scholarly sources, ideally three that support your points and three that oppose them, but no fewer than two opposing sources.
  • Write a rich annotation for each source, according to best practices studied in your readings and as demonstrated in the “Sample Week 3 Assignment” document.
• This paragraph of approach and purpose must answer all of the following questions in good depth and detail in this single rich paragraph:
  • What has been your approach to finding your sources? 
  • What have you been looking for? 
  • How successful have you been? 
  • Do you plan to change strategies, and/or do you have additional specific sources or search strategies in mind?
• Keep in mind that your purpose is analytical. You will very briefly summarize the source in a single sentence, then move into the source’s credibility, relevance, timeliness, and usefulness, followed by detailing specific connections to your argument and points and to other sources, if applicable. By the time you have finished this assignment, you should have a very clear idea of how your argument and the conversation between your voice and your sources will play out. This assignment will also provide your instructor with a solid preview of the quality of your argument as a whole.
• Before submission, proofread and edit carefully for APA, spelling, punctuation, and grammar. While you are strongly encouraged to utilize electronic proofreading and APA tools, that is just your first line of offense. You should then always perform your own careful proofreading, silently and aloud, asking others to proofread if possible.

[Solved] ENGL147N – Week 4 Assignment- Logical Fallacies Presentation- Poking (and Plugging) Holes in Arguments

Instructions

For this assignment, complete the following:

• Review from the lesson and textbook readings the types of logical fallacies and examples.
• Locate three advertisements online that were posted no later than one year ago. The advertisements may be any of the following types, and they do not need to all be the same type:
  • Advertisements for products, such as for a beauty product or an automobile
  • Political campaign ads
  • Advertisements that pop up on your social media threads, like on Facebook or Instagram
• Keep in mind that this assignment requires you to identify logical fallacies, so choose your three advertisements carefully, looking for those in which you do see clear and identifiable logical fallacies at work. Search until you have three advertisements that will work well for this assignment on logical fallacies.
• Create a PowerPoint presentation consisting of 11 slides:
  • An introduction slide with your name, the class, and the title of your presentation- don’t be afraid to get creative with your title!
  • On one slide, show and cite the advertisement.
  • On another slide, name the fallacy that occurs and define the fallacy. For example, if you see an Ad Hominem fallacy, you will note that there is an Ad Hominem Fallacy and offer a definition of “Ad Hominem” using your own wording. Do not simply copy the definition from the lesson or textbook.
  • On the next slide, explain how and why a specific portion of the ad represents this specific fallacy. Be thorough and clear.
  • Repeat the above process with your other two advertisements. You should have three slides for each advertisement, for a total of nine body slides
  • A References slide in which you provide full APA-correct references for your three advertisements. You should not have additional references because everything else in your presentation should simply represent your learning in this module.

Note: Include everything on your slides visually. If you’d like to use voice-over, that’s fine; just note that you will be graded on what is visually on the slides only. You may be as visually creative as you would like!

Writing Requirements

• Length: 11 full PowerPoint slides
• Text that is large enough for an audience to read
• Full and proper APA in-text citation and Referencing for the information used from the three advertisements
• No sources other than the three advertisements

[Solved] ENGL147N – Week 4 Discussion- How Do the Top Dogs Do It Learning from Example Toward Effective Drafting

Initial Post Instructions

Main Post Paragraph 1: Evaluate an argumentative point

Choose a reading from the assigned pages in your textbook and note how the author addresses an argumentative point in the body of the article (in other words, not in the introduction paragraph(s) nor in the conclusion paragraph(s). Work to find a body point that demonstrates a range of strategies like logic, refutation, and author’s voice.

Then, please take the time to read and re-read the entire piece and your chosen section a few times, jotting down notes to help you, before composing a paragraph that addresses all of the following:

• In what ways do you see the author’s voice being used? How does the author’s own voice (not the sources’ voices) drive and frame the argument?
• What does the author use for support for the point? (for example, logic created by the author, sources, a combination?) Is this effective, in your view? Why or why not?
• Does the author use any logical fallacies? If so, name them and explain why they are fallacies. If not, explain why the author’s logic is solid.
• Does the form of this reading match the form of the writing we are learning: full essay paragraphs? If so, explain why and how. If not, explain why you think this particular piece of reading does not use academic essay format and what you might do to revise it. In other words, if there are many short paragraphs, could you put some together to form single paragraphs that are still driven by the author’s voice?

Main Post Paragraph 2: Practice Using Your Voice in a Full Body Paragraph Toward Your Essay

Referring back to the lesson, please compose and present a single, well-developed draft of one body paragraph for our argument research essay, paying special attention to making your voice the driving force and to using solid logic. Remember the parts of a good body paragraph for an argument essay:

• Composing a smooth, clear topic sentence in your voice that provides a transition and that asserts your topic for the paragraph
• Using your voice to introduce and present your evidence that supports your topic sentence
• Using logic in your voice to tie the evidence to your argumentative point
• Avoiding logical fallacies
• Using concession and rebuttal if you are presenting opposing viewpoints
• Ending strongly with your voice in an extended explanation of how all factors involved in this paragraph drive home your argument in this particular point
• Making sure to synthesize throughout, with clear connections between all evidence and all of your logic and assertions

Follow-Up Post Instructions

Respond to at least one peer. Here, in reading others’ posts and replying to them, you will learn a great deal more about approaches to composing good argumentative points. In your follow-up posts, please share your thoughts on your classmates’ analysis of the textbook reading and review your classmates’ own paragraph drafts, using the best practices studied this week to evaluate how well the student has applied all principles and to offer suggestions for improvement. Please fully explain your evaluations.

• Writing Requirements
  Minimum of 2 posts (1 initial & 1 follow-up)

Instructions

This assignment is a full draft of your Argument Research Paper

Download Argument Research Paper. This draft will demonstrate the argument and writing techniques studied in the course and will build upon the steps you have taken in all the previous weeks toward developing your Argument Research Paper. This draft is expected to meet all of the Argument Research Essay requirements for writing, content, length, and sources.

Writing Requirements for the Argument Research Essay First Draft, Due in Week 5, and for the Argument Essay Final Draft, Due in Week 7

• Correct use of APA guidelines for the following:
• Headers with pagination
• Title Page
• Margins, spacing, and paragraph indentation
• APA in-text citation and referencing for all sources
• Do not divide your essay into sections.
• Do not use headings within your paper to indicate changes in topic. While longer APA essays and particular types of APA writing, such as scholarly articles, employ APA-style bolded headings to divide portions of the writing, you are writing a shorter academic essay. Your shift from one paragraph to the next should be signaled through your use of the effective transition and topic sentence rules we have practiced.
• 6-8 full pages for the essay itself, not including title page or references
• Effective structure, including your introduction paragraph, your body paragraphs, and your conclusion paragraph
• Use of third-person throughout. Focus on the topic, not on you nor on the essay. In other words: no first-person “I,” and no referring to the essay, such as “In this essay.”
• At least 5 scholarly sources visibly used, cited, and referenced
• Refer to the full Argument Research Essay Rubric

Your instructor will grade and offer feedback on this draft to help set you up toward additional success with your final draft in Week 7. In Week 6, you will post your draft to your peer review group area in discussion to also receive their feedback.

[Solved] ENGL147N – Week 5 Discussion- “Drop the Microphone”- Examine Examples toward More Compelling Argument Essay

Main Post: Share “Good to Great” Techniques You Picked up in Your Textbook Readings

To begin, look over the readings (sample essays/articles) of the text. Read as many as you’d like; you do not need to choose just one. You are not evaluating one essay in this discussion (although you may work with just one if you would like). Rather, you are evaluating argument techniques, effective word choice and transitions, the author’s voice, and the development of points with evidence. Not everything in these readings will be relevant for you; it is your job to find those powerful gems of wisdom that make you think, “Yes! I can apply this same technique!”

So, as you look through the readings and choose single items and sections to focus on, take your own notes and jot down your own thoughts before writing and posting your formal response to the following:

Quote one exact passage from a reading explaining the technique that appealed to you. This may be a particular use of logic, the way an author puts flair on a synthesis of support and opposition, a transition technique you had not considered, the way an author discusses (concedes and refutes) an opposing viewpoint, how an author drives the writing with voice, or any argument technique that “spoke to you.” Next, explain in as much detail as possible how you will use this technique in your own argument research essay. Which portion of your essay and/or with which source? How will you apply it to strengthen your essay?

Example structure:

• Quotation: (quote, cite in-text, and include at the end of your post a full reference)
• Technique that appealed to you in this quotation and why (being as detailed as possible).
• How you will use the technique: Be very specific and detailed, explaining exactly where in your essay you would like to use it, in which section, with sources, for voice, for anything that contributes to the effectiveness of your essay.

[Solved] ENGL147N – Week 6 Discussion- Being a True and Dedicated Colleague- Guided Formal Peer Review of Argument Research Essay Drafts

Initial Post Instructions

Main Post Part 1: Attach Your Draft and Explain Your Goals

After you have thoroughly read and revisited this week’s lesson, you will be ready to perform rich, authentic, expansive, useful peer reviews for your classmates. This is one tool of several that you will use during the important process of revision. During revision, you will “re-vision” your writing to find ways to improve argument, focus, support, organization, voice, and all other aspects of an argument research essay; therefore, additional “sets of eyes” are extremely useful. What’s more, you, the reviewer, will pick up ways to improve your own paper while reading the approaches others are taking, during your reviews of your classmates’ essays.

To that end, this week in our discussion area, we will be sharing our full argument research essay drafts in a class peer review. In order to make this process run smoothly, please be sure to follow these instructions:

1. Find your name on the peer review assignment list provided by your professor to determine whether you are in Group A, B, C, D, or E.
2. Once you have located your assigned group (and no later than Wednesday), join that discussion area by attaching your most recently revised draft as your initial post.

• This may be the draft you submitted to your instructor in Week 5, or you may have made changes since then and will wish to post your most updated copy (remember the “good” to “great” portion of the Lesson!)
• In your post, also compose a good paragraph offering information about your draft in which you address at least three of your major revision goals. Do not list mechanical items like grammar and APA because it is a given that you’ll edit and proofread for those items. Instead, note at least three content-related goals, such as stronger support for one point, connecting sources to your logic more powerfully, and unifying your points to align well with your thesis. These are just examples; please write a paragraph that notes your own goals and explains the “why” and “how” of those. Be sure to ask your professor if you have any questions about the peer review process.

Peer Review (Follow-Up Post) Instructions

You must reply to one of the peers in your group with a full review of that peer’s draft.

• Find the peer who has posted after you in terms of time.
• Read their attached essay and any notes they left to accompany the draft.
• Download the Peer Review Sheet and complete the form.
• Return your completed Peer Review Sheet as an attachment in a response post to your peer. Peer reviews must be completed and posted as a reply to your classmate no later than Friday night. The reason your peer review is due earlier in the week than other discussion replies is that your classmate must have enough time to utilize your feedback.
• Through Sunday: Continue to check into your group Discussion area to reply back to your reviewer with any questions or clarification you have for them and to check for questions and comments from the student you reviewed.

Initial Post Instructions

Main Post Part 1: Share Your Revision Plan

You have now received feedback from your instructor and from your peers, and you have already been applying revision strategies to your draft in the past week.

This week, you will perform final, guided revisions in six levels: global, section, paragraph, sentence, word, and final proofreading. After you have read and studied the lesson and the assigned textbook readings for the week, you will make a plan for addressing these levels of revision.

In one full paragraph, please share how you are approaching revisions now and how you will continue to do so before submitting your final draft. In this paragraph, answer the following questions:

• Which days and time slots on your calendar this week have you set aside to fully address each of the six distinct levels of revision as addressed in the lesson? Be very specific.
• Why did you choose these days and time slots? Be very specific.
• By now, you should have begun working through the stages of revision. Which stage are you in? Please share how you approached the stage(s) you have worked through. What insights have you gained? What changes have you made? Be very specific.

Main Post Part 2: Share Your Rewards Plan

We understand the importance of self-care and of rewarding ourselves for our good efforts. “Revision Week” can be stressful because revision takes hard mental work and time and because you may also be very busy in other classes or with other endeavors. Review the portion of the lesson that suggests ideas for rewarding yourself during your revision stages in order to stay refreshed and motivated.

In one full paragraph, please carefully describe at least three of your unique post-revision level rewards for this week.

• What are the rewards?
• Where do they occur?
• What will they look like?
• Who will be there?
• How will each reward refresh you?

[Solved] ENGL147N – Week 8 Discussion- Reflection

Initial Post Instructions

Main Post Part 1: Read and Respond

After thoroughly reading the Week 8 lesson and the required textbook pages, go back and re-read, specifically, the articles from the assigned Week 8 textbook pages. Ask yourself: In the textbook readings, which statements in these articles inspire me? How and why? Do any statements bother me? How and why?” Take careful notes, jotting down quotations and your reactions to them, based on those questions. After you have given good time and attention to this process, you will begin writing Part 1 of your discussion post.

A note: Keep in mind that your actual post will require that you express yourself openly. While correctness is always important, try to steer away from obsessing over strict “rules” so that you may focus on you and your feelings and passions. It is absolutely crucial that we step away, at times, from intellectualizing and dive, instead, into pure gut reaction, to what our heart says about what we are reading and into writing about that freely. This is the fertile soil for those big ideas that might turn into dreams, then into realities, in our future.

Instructions for Part 1:

Identify two specific direct quotations from two separate readings in your assigned Week 8 textbook pages that you noted having a gut/heart reaction to. Be sure to use signal phrases and to cite these in-text and in an end reference.

In at least one full paragraph, write about one quotation at a time. Identify the first quotation, then truly let yourself go. Let your heart and gut speak. Why did you choose this first quotation? How did it make you feel? Why? Then, in the same paragraph, identify the second quotation. Finally, as with the first quotation, truly let yourself go. Let your heart and gut speak. Why did you choose this second quotation? How did it make you feel? Why?

Main Post Part 2: So…What Are You Inspired to Do?

In another full paragraph minimum, still sticking to your heart and gut, freely write about what your reactions in Part 1 inspire you to do.

Note: Before composing this part of your post, you should brainstorm separately, in your own notebook or on a “brainstorming Word doc,” generating many possibilities: large, small, local, global, at home, in the community, with one person, with a thousand people, whatever occurs to you. Let yourself “go” and list, list, list everything that comes to mind as an action you might take in response to your feelings in Part 1. Some of your ideas may seem far-fetched; don’t be afraid to express them. Do not limit yourself to sharing just the practical, smart, reasonable actions. Have fun! Then, turn that into a good paragraph for your post.

Follow-Up Post Instructions

Respond to at least one peer. Here, in reading others’ posts and replying to them, you will be exposed to reactions that may be very similar to your own and reactions that may be quite different from yours. You will hopefully also see some wonderful and eye-opening ideas for application. So, in your reply post, please focus on sharing similarities and differences in your reactions and help your classmates brainstorm for more actions that might be taken based on your classmates’ gut and heart reactions and on your own.

[Solved] ENGL147N – Week 8 Final Exam-a-bration!

Instructions

The final exam (a-bration!) is a timed, three-paragraph essay exam. You will have one hour to complete this exam.

Note: This exam is open-note, open-book, open-lesson so that you may remind yourself of key terms and concepts. However, please do not cite or paraphrase source material (textbook, lesson, outside articles, nor any source/research). This exam must be composed entirely by you, in your voice, using your own powers of persuasion.

Scenario: You are presenting your end-of-class celebration plans to a jury whose sole purpose is to approve or reject end-of-class celebration plans. This jury has decided many such cases, so it is your job to make your case compelling, engaging, exciting, unique, and argumentatively sound.

Toward that goal, and in three fully-developed paragraphs, please address the prompt questions .

A special note: While you should employ pre-writing, planning, and drafting techniques, please use a separate document or notebook for those pre-writing, planning, and stages. The final draft of your 3 exam paragraphs should be the only items you submit.
