Modern Poetry

As for that paper, you are free to choose any topic of interest that has to do with the works we have read in the course. You may want to compare authors on a particular theme, or perhaps show how a writer’s biography influenced his work. You may want to pursue a specific theme, for instance the response to Nature, and show how variously the poets expressed it. In this last instance I was thinking specifically of Hopkins, Hardy, and Frost. You may want to write on Yeats’s use of the supernatural in his poetry, or his treatment of theme of women. He writes frequently about romantic relationships, including his own, which is another good topic. In the case of Eliot, the theme of human isolation and incommunicativeness is very important, as it is for Frost. All of these are possibilities. In writing about them, be sure to write directly and clearly and to provide textual evidence. There is nothing wrong with your going to the library or going online to read up on the subject you are writing about.

On the Significance of Capital

ourdieu’s distinctions between different types of capital highlight the ways in which we often view our lives in economic terms, but are also frequently limited by that view. Which perspective do you find the most compelling or powerful: that of the economic view, or that of the social? What role has social and cultural capital played in your life?  Is it something you’ve considered in the past?  Do you find that Bourdieu’s explanation provides insight into your own personal experiences?  Why or why not?

Any topic (writer’s choice)

Select a psychological theory you are familiar with. Make sure to find a source for the theory that you can refer to and cite. It is always a good idea to define jargon and then illustrate the jargon with examples (in this case from your theory).
With this theory in mind, explain:
    the basic theory,
    why this is a theory and not a hypothesis, law or model,
    the type of explanation the theory provides (mechanistic vs. functional) and why,
    the classification of  the theory (quantitative or qualitative) and why,
    at what level of description the theory operates (descriptive, analogical or fundamental), and
    the theorys domain.
In addition include the following in your response:
    What is the relationship between theory and research?
    How can a researcher use theory to guide the design of their study and/or interpretation of results
    Finally, explain if this theory is a good theory using the criteria in your textbook.

Leadership

In his TED talk, four-star general Stanley McChrystal (2011) shares what he learned about leadership and followership over his decades in the military. How does the concepts discussed by McChrystal relate to concepts such as clarity, accuracy, precision, relevance, depth, etc. discussed in chapter 5 in the textbook by Paul and Elder (2012). How is the experience of McChrystal helped shaped his points of view and/or his frame of reference?

you must support your statements with evidence and use at least two external sources

early childhood memory

Your assignment is to write 400 to 600 or more words describing a location and time that is vivid in your memory, just as E.B. White describes visiting the lake with his son. This is a descriptive essay, but you, like White, may wish to use a narrative (a story) to tie it all together.

Think of this as a snapshot of an early childhood memory, using as many sensory details as possible. Please dont concentrate only on vision in fact, try writing the essay without using ANY visual detail at first. This will force you to think about your other senses: taste, touch, smell, hearing. This is not a story think of it like a photograph, a moment in time. It may be a few minutes or an hour or so of your life; try to select a concise, select time period. Think like a movie director: select one scene only try not to jump around unless its essential to set up a scene. (In  E.B. Whites Once More to the Lake, he describes multiple scenes, but Im just asking you to select one).

Your introduction should set the scene in a brief but helpful manner. See E.B Whites example. Where and when does your memory take place? In the hot summer of 2010, camping in Florida? In your grandmas house in the 1990s? In your treehouse when you were in fifth grade?

You should have a separate paragraph for your CONCLUSION, which tells us the lesson of your essay. Your conclusion may be, for example, a commentary on why you think this memory sticks out in your mind, or a general commentary on why you think childhood memories are so powerful. Think of a conclusion as a so what? statement a lesson that we learn after reading your essay.

This is as close to creative writing as well get in this class, and most students enjoy this assignment. However, I am still looking for your best writing and your best organization. In general, a typo, error, or grammatical mistake will cost you one point off the 100 point total for the paper.
