PPE Capstone: New Deal Politics Spring 2020Required Reading Commentaries You are required to write four commentaries on the course readings, submitting one per week for weeks 2-5 based on a date schedule that is provided below (see the end of the assignment). Your commentaries must be submitted on Canvas on the dates indicated on the schedule. Late commentaries will not be accepted. Your commentaries should meet three goals: 1) give a summary of the key point(s) made in the course reading you are writing about based on your understanding; 2) provide some examples of the evidence used in the reading (possibly including direct quotes) to show how the author supports the key point(s); 3) devote at least two concluding paragraphs to connecting this reading to another class reading (this can be a reading from earlier in the quarter, or another reading assigned on the same date in cases where I have assigned more than one reading). Part 1: Identify the key point or points in the reading. What is the main argument or key insight you see emerging from this reading? Can you give a quote from the text that supports your understanding of the reading? Part 2: Identify at least two pieces of “evidence” that the author uses to support the main argument or key point of the reading. In the readings for this class, evidence will often be in the form of specific historical examples that support the larger claim. You should discuss some details from these examples to show how the author makes the point (again, direct quotes are fine, but you should also put some of this into your own words). For instance, if a reading makes the argument that the declining political power of business interests was an important reason that the New Deal welfare state emerged, the author may then go on to support this point by showing how business interests tried to oppose Social Security, and yet it still passed despite this business opposition. Also be sensitive to nuance in the author’s analysis, and try to point this out in your commentary. For example, perhaps the author argues that Social Security passed despite business opposition, but then goes on to acknowledge that business interests were able to modify Social Security afterwards in ways that suited their needs (so some business power was still relevant to what happened in the New Deal, even if not dominant). Part 3: Conclude your commentary by thinking about what this reading adds to other readings in this class. This can include making some comparison with the other reading assigned on that same date in cases where I assign two readings. For example, perhaps you are writing on a reading that describes the positive accomplishments of the New Deal in relation to African Americans, and you want to consider how this fits with the other reading from that day that highlights how the New Deal actually perpetuated racial inequality. Or maybe the specific topic discussed by the reading fleshes out and supports an insigh ...

This means that you will be analyzing a current event and its connection a World War II event. This paper will be a minimum four (4) to five (5) typed pages with double-spaced, Times New Roman font, and one inch margins on all sides of the paper. Source: Each paper will include a careful analysis of a current event topic from a major news source. The source can be an internet source, but cannot be a blog or unpublished source. The source must be a national/internationally-recognized news source (e.g. The New York Times, The Washington Post, BBC news, etc…) A copy of this source must be attached to your paper. Any source you use for your historical information (other than class notes) must be documented as well. A Work cited page must be included in this paper. (MLA or APA guidelines) Event: You may choose any current events topic, however you must tie the topic to any event in World War II (this does not have to be an event that was extensively covered in class, so long that it deals with WWII). · Your WW2 topic has to have occurred between the years of 1918 (the end of WWI) and 1945 (the end of WWII). · Your modern day event has to have occurred in the past 10 years. · Please clear your topic with me if you are unsure of its appropriateness!!! Objective: The thesis/objective of your paper must relate your WWII topic and current event topic together in at least one of the following ways: 1) Challenge arguments of historical inevitability by giving examples of how different choices could have led to different consequences. Explain in your paper how an event in WWII could have affected history drastically had in occurred in a different manner. Then connect this concept with an event in contemporary times and explain how different choices in modern society and lead to different possible consequences. (For example, explain how FDR’s decision to intern Japanese-Americans could have affected WW2 and then tie George W. Bush’s decision to support the Patriot Act could have affected the modern-day United States.) 2) Analyze proposed solution to current issues from the perspectives of diverse cultural groups. Choose a WWII event that identifies a particular dilemma/issue of the WWII era and examine how different groups may have viewed the issue (e.g. Jewish relocation/concentration in Germany, the U.S. military draft in WWII, the rationing of food in wartime America, etc…) Similarly, take any current issue in the public eye (e.g. healthcare, war, abortion, welfare, etc...) and tie how this topic is viewed by contemporary cultures. You should be able to tie the cultural perspective of both issues together in the paper. 3) Identify and analyze an issue related to domestic or foreign policy in the United States (e.g. human rights, intervention in conflicts between other countries, or healthcare).

Third Essay: Learning to Write about Difference READING : Rereading America , from chapter five: Parrillo, “Causes of Prejudice” Fredrickson, “Models of American Ethnic relations: A Historical Perspective” Harris and Carbado, “Loot or Find: Fact or Frame?” Kaplan, “Barack Obama: “Miles Traveled, Miles to Go” CONTEXT : Making arguments in our lives usually means persuading an audience; often it means, if it is a real argument, addressing a group that is not completely open to hearing and understanding our point of view. This assignment will address two issues: · Building an argument using convincing textual evidence · Writing in order to persuade an unsympathetic argument THE ASSIGNMENT : Chapter 5 in Rereading America addresses the history and present realities of the tensions that have surrounded, and still surround, racial and ethnic differences in the United States. We can broaden the range of this topic to include areas of class, sexual orientation, religion, gender, and political affiliation, at the least. Each of these categories, including race, are populated by groups we could call “others”—groups that both are seen by the majority culture as being somehow “outside” and are viewed by the majority culture with a degree of suspicion. In a four-and-a-half to five page, double-spaced, 12-point typeface essay, argue for how some of the ideas in TWO of the essays in chapter 5 of Rereading America apply to ONE of these groups of “others” of your choosing. Define the group carefully. Write to an audience who would doubt the validity of your topic, the book’s texts, and your argument. If you choose to write about an “other” that is defined by race or ethnicity, be specific in naming this group (e.g., Korean, or mixed-race, or Persian). For example, I might take the arguments in Harris and Carbado’s essay and apply them to similar thought patterns I see in Orange County about people whom the majority culture in the OC might consider “others”—those out of the cultural mainstream. Perhaps I would select French people as my group of others. I could talk about how Orange Countians see French speaking people suspiciously—people who spend too much time thinking about food. This would be a fairly silly paper, but I could nonetheless choose this topic. IMPORTANT ADVICE : Read all four essays and the discussion board entries on the essays. Try choosing the focus of your essay by writing about ideas from the essays that strongly affect you; don’t start out with a particular group in mind. Once you have identified interesting ideas, then think about a group of “others.” AUDIENCE : Each of the assigned essays from Rereading America for this assignment are written for audiences that likely will not agree with the respective writer’s ideas. Note the following areas in both the essays you read, and in constructing your own essays: · Tone—how does the writer decide to present these issues to a potentially unsympathetic a.

Kondo argues convincingly that the American educational system is designed to miseducate rather than educate Black students (The Black Student’s Guide to Positive Education [1987], pg. 4).” 5) A clear and concise introduction and conclusion. Example [Introduction]: “In the past few decades, we have witnessed a growing interest in the efforts of Nat Turner and other revolutionaries to use force to end slavery in the U.S. The tactics of these revolutionaries have fostered a debate on the use of force as an instrument for social change. I contend that force was needed to end slavery in the U.S. and that violence played an important role in ending slavery prior to the Civil War…” 6) Logical and reasonable arguments and discussion. Notes: Organize your arguments from strongest to weakest; cite examples that support your points and demonstrate depth in your reasoning. 7) Utilization of at least six sources. (3 must be books and/or articles; the others can be electronic sources. Notes: The position paper is a much a research project as it is a personal view. You must utilize the research of others to support and augment your position. There are no exceptions to the rule. 8) Listings of complete citations of all book, articles and other sources consulted. Notes: List your sources at the end of your paper in either an established format (Turabian, APA…) or in a format that you develop.

The final exam consists of the following 2 essay questions. Please note that the essays are of slightly different lengths. The essays should be double-spaced, 12-point font, and checked for spelling, typos, and grammar. Proofread! Spellcheck does not catch all problems. The essays are due bt December 7 by 4 pm. Topic 1: This essay should be 4-5 pages. It is 1949. The CCP has just become the government of the People’s Republic of China, and the Guomindang has begun to govern Taiwan. As a historian, you have been asked to advise on which government the US should recognize. You have been assured that whatever your perspective, your views will not be made public: you need not worry about consequences and are at liberty to express your honest opinion. Write a report arguing either that the US should recognize the CCP or the GMD. Your report should consider the record of the CCP and GMD from 1921 to 1952, drawing on Schoppa, and essays by Mao Zedong, Chen Xuezhao, Lu Xun, Chiang Kai-shek, Song Meiling, Ding Ling, and Wang Shiwei. Be sure to consider the war with Japan/WWII, CCP social and economic policies and programs (such as land reform, marriage laws, rectification). Also consider the ways in which both parties began as idealistic movements and had to change in the context of political realities. Most important, make your report emphasize history! Keep in mind that whichever side you argue, it is completely appropriate to refer to aspects of either party that might complicate your view, and then describe how you would contextualize them. Focus on China! (This is not a paper about US history or politics, and so you need not consider the specifics of the US at that time.) Topic 2: This essay should be 3-4 pages. Based on Dragon’s Village , what were the major challenges faced in implementing land reform and how were they confronted? What was accomplished and what problems remained impossible to resolve? Your essay should draw very specifically from Dragon’s Village ! (only use this book as the source for this question. By Yuan-tsungCheng. A Dragon’s Village .)

DiBenedetto First name Last name Prof. DiBenedetto Course Date Documentary Research Paper Documentary. Articles. Controversy Introduction: Nonfiction, visual culture, media, graphic, and argument---these elements of reading and writing converge in documentary film, making it an ideal way to understand how we create and receive arguments. What, after all, is a documentary except someone’s argument on a topic? Documentaries suggest that the audience (you) should accept the viewpoint, take the action, make commitment, understand the rightness/wrongness of this policy, etc. To achieve this purpose, the filmmaker (director) must understand the audience and appeal to them---ex, using the rhetorical appeals (ethos, pathos, logos). All in all, documentaries build upon the visual world while focusing controversial and overlooked issues in your lives. Your research will culminate in a 3-4 page research paper and visual presentation. Expectation: In this research paper, you will use the arguments made in one documentary and 3 -4 additional texts to answer your own research question (at least 4 total annotated bibliographies). Writing Prompt: What is the controversy addressed in your documentary? What problem does the documentary address? What is your stance on the controversy or solution to the problem? Research Requirements (3-4 pages): Types of sources: This includes: 1. Documentary Film 2. News Magazine, newspaper, history of topic → this should include unbiased & objective 3. Opinions Blogs, speeches, TV/radio transcript, columns, editorials. This should come from a personal perspective 4.

English 102 Essay 4: Literary Research Essay Assignment (First Draft) Your last written assignment for this class is a 6 to 8-page, 1,500 to 1,800-word research essay on a current issue or an enduring question of your choice. The First Draft should be Five to Ten paragraphs in length and does not require the use of sources. You will use documented source material to support your essay’s thesis. One of your sources for this essay must be chosen from among the stories, poems, plays, or novel listed on our reading list (please see the Syllabus). A research essay presents and develops a thesis supporting multiple sources of opinion. You stake out a subject narrow enough to be researched and you steep yourself in it. Then you formulate a thesis -- your own attitude or opinion on the subject -- and present it in a persuasive form, along with facts, opinions, and information that prove it true. You should use appeals and other methods to support your thesis, but you should also analyze each source you plan to use to support your thesis. THE PARTS OF A RESEARCH ESSAY There are two parts to a Research Essay: The text (six or more pages and 1,500 to 1,800 words) The works cited page (one or more pages) RESEARCH ESSAY FORMAT Much of the writing in your research essay comes from the work of other writers, and you must give proper credit by citing (mentioning) these sources in your paper. The art of citing is called documentation, which is required for any information falling into the following three categories: Any judgment, opinion, speculation or theory that is not original (unless it is universally known and accepted). Any fact or statistic open to dispute. Any information provided by a specific observer, even by an expert in his or her field (for example, opinions of psychologists on child abuse). QUOTATIONS AND CITATIONS You will use quotations to include information from your sources in your essay. For example, if you were quoting a Newsweek magazine article on the Virgin Mary by Kenneth L. Woodward, you could write: Kenneth L. Woodward, in his article on the Virgin Mary, writes that "the 20th century has belonged to Mary" (49). Or….. According to Kenneth L. Woodward, the 20th century has "belonged to Mary" (49). Or….. Kenneth L. Woodward writes: "The 20th century has belonged to Mary" (49). You will use the MLA (Modern Languages Association) style for parenthetical documentation to list your sources on your Works Cited page, which is the last page of your essay. You must use at least four sources (one or more from each of the following categories) and list them on your works cited page: one book; one periodical (magazine, journal or newspaper) article; one website; one “multimedia” source: a film, video, DVD, painting, musical piece, etc.). These sources should be listed in alphabetical order, by the author's last name.

PLSC 102 Term Paper on Political Ideologies The purpose of this assignment, according to Thomas Jefferson: “Difference of opinion leads to inquiry, and inquiry to truth.” Check the list on Blackboard to see which issue of the following issues you’ve been assigned. Illegal Immigration, Stem Cell Research, Affirmative Action, or US Foreign Aid (only non-military aid). After getting your assigned issue from the list on Blackboard, address the following in at least 6-7 typed pages. You will need to use your lecture notes on the ideological spectrum, and outside research. In addition to books and journals, the following online databases will help you locate opposing views and recent laws/court decisions: Britannica Online, the Opposing Viewpoints Resource Center, ProQuest and LexisNexis (newspaper and newsmagazine searches), and the CQ Researcher. These and other MiraCosta databases can be accessed for free at MCC libraries or at home (using your Surf password). Simply click on “Library” on the MCC website, and then click on “All Online Databases” under “Online Resources.” You should start your research with your textbooks (check the index), Britannica Online (or another trustworthy encyclopedia), and the Opposing Viewpoints database. Then, after you have a better understanding of your issue, you can move on to other specific sources such as newspaper and journal articles, newsmagazines such as Newsweek and Time, websites for political parties and other sources. You will need to use at least 8 different sources for your paper other than your course textbooks. At least three of your sources must be something other than websites (i.e articles, books, etc). If you can find a source in print, but you choose to get it online (like a newspaper article from LATimes.com), it does not count as a website source. All sources must be cited in the paper and listed in a separate bibliography (citation format described below). The paper must be double-spaced, with size 12 Times New Roman font, one-inch margins, and your name, class, and date in the header (not in the body of the paper – click View-->Header&Footer). Do not use any cover pages or folders – only a staple in the upper left corner. Your paper must be in essay format (no outlines). Do not include an introduction or conclusion. Points will be deducted for spelling and grammatical errors, and for deviations from the format described below. Section 1: Describe how contemporary American liberals approach this issue. You will need to provide an objective, unbiased description, so that most liberals would agree with what you have written. Specifically, a) Describe their beliefs about this issue – are they in favor, opposed? More importantly, what arguments do they give to support their position? b) Describe the specific changes they propose to address this issue. You will need to research and describe several policies or ideas for reform, including recent laws (state and federa.

This assignment only has to be 250-275 words. According to the research (Wardle 2013; Kozol 2010) students who live in low income areas are exposed to a lower quality and/or standard of education than those in higher income areas. The research further states that students in integrated schools perform better on tests, possess increased ambitions for educational and occupational accomplishments, and lead more integrated lives as a result. Would a standardized, state-mandated curriculum work to support these students? Explain your answer, and support your response with at least one outside resource. Additionally, who should be held accountable for this sub-par education? The teachers who are providing guidance and instruction. The parents whose job is to ensure their child is academically successful. School administrators who oversee the school’s overall success. The government that appropriates funding. The students who should have an intrinsic value of education. .

David Bartholomae INVENTING THE UNIVERSITY1 Education may well be, as of right, the instrument whereby every in- dividual, in a society like our own, can gain access to any kind of discourse. But we well know that in its distribution, in what it permits and in what it prevents, it follows the well-trodden battle-lines of social conflict. Every educational system is a political means of maintaining or of modifying the appropriation of discourse, with the knowledge and the powers it carries with it. Foucault , "The Discourse on Language" (227) Every time a student sits down to write for us, he has to invent the university for the occasion-invent the university, that is, or a branch of it, like History or Anthropology or Economics or English. He has to learn to speak our language, to speak as we do, to try on the peculiar ways of knowing, selecting, evaluating, reporting, concluding, and arguing that define the discourse of our community. Or perhaps I should say the various discourses of our community, since it is in the nature of a liberal arts education that a student, after the first year or two, must learn to try on a variety of voices and interpretive schemes-to write, for example, as a literary critic one day and an experimental psychologist the next, to work within fields where the rules governing the presentation of examples or the development of an argument are both distinct and, even to a professional, mys- terious. The students have to appropriate (or be appropriated by) a specialized discourse, and they have to do this as though they David Bartholomae is Associate Professor of English and Director of Composition at the University of Pittsburgh.

This assignment is separate from your course project. An important task that leaders perform is setting the tone of an organization. Tone, climate, and culture are several ways that organizational experts talk about the organizational atmosphere, values, beliefs, and norms that can contribute to or hinder productivity in organizations. Various “tones” can be a part of the organizational setting, including trust, mistrust, hope, despair, faith, fear, conflict, and many more. For this assignment, observe two actual, different leaders in your life as they conduct a meeting, practice, class, or other group activity. As you observe the event, consider the following questions: How did the leader make goals clear to group members? How were different members and their talents utilized? What were some of the positive norms of the group? Negative norms? How did the leader contribute to or reinforce those norms? How would you assess the cohesiveness of the group? What are your observations of the general tone and climate of the meeting? How did the leader contribute to or reinforce the tone (Northouse, 2009, pp. 120– 121)? After you have observed the two meetings and considered the reflective questions above, write a summary of your findings. In particular: Compare and contrast the two leaders’ tone setting style. Focus on the people issues. How did the leaders’ different tone setting style seem to contribute to the norms, reactions, climate, and group outcomes? Additionally: Assess your own tone-setting style. Evaluate what you can learn and apply from your observations of the leaders and from the organizational literature to enhance your tone-setting style.

This assignment is multiple parts, but you will be turning in one document. 1. Choose four assessments that demonstrate the integration of assessment into instruction to promote the learning of all students. These assessments must give strong evidence of designing, selecting, and employing a wide variety of formal and informal assessment tools to match educational purposes. These assessments should show student work and clear evidence through marking up that you are helping students develop self-assessment skills and are encouraging them to reflect on their performances. Research supports the notion that teacher markups on assessments greatly improves student learning. Please remove or black out students’ names from the assessment before scanning, copying or photographing. You need to choose three formative assessments and one summative assessment. 2. Complete a write-up (2-4 pages) for each of the four assessments. The write up of each assessment must include: the lesson context, the assessment description, why this particular assessment was chosen (you may mention research basis here), what the teacher and student learned from the assessment, how the assessment impacted unique student’s learning?
