why take africana studies/black studies

You have just completed a course that introduced you to some of the basic theoretical, methodological, and substantive issues in Africana (Black) Studies. Pretend that a student who has not had this class asks you to explain the things you learned and take away from the course to him or her. Write a essay in which you do so and conclude with why you think taking a course like this is of value.

Vocabulary and reading and writing

Please discuss the following points under the main headings of vocabulary, reading and writing:
1.Do different kinds of learning occur from reading compared with learning from different kinds of exercises?
2. Is the Lexical Frequency Profile of a text an effective measure of the readability of the text for ESL learners?
3. Evaluate and investigate a reading based vocabulary activity for its effect on vocabulary learning and use.
4. Honeyfield (1977) claims that simplified reading texts distort normal language use. Research this claim
looking at a range of language use features including collocation and information density.
5. Do simplified, elaborated and easified texts have similar effects on comprehension and vocabulary learning?
6. How can vocabulary learning from graded readers be optimized?

Reading reflection

After reading chapters 12 and 13 of your textbook, I want you to reflect on one of them by writing a 4-5 page paper. Please select one of the chapters, then identify and critically analyze at least three major themes presented throughout. More specifically, using explicit and concrete examples, you are to identify and expound on at least three separate topics covered in the chapter. Furthermore, I want you to pull in ideas and concepts from earlier in the semester. Using related examples from previous chapters, or even theories/concepts such as structural functionalism, conflict theory, symbolic interactionism, and the sociological imagination, is not merely encouraged, but required in order to maximize your grade for this assignment. Your paper should consist of a summary of the chapter, as well as a sociological analysis of the various themes you have selected. Although chapters 12 or 13 should comprise the bulk of your paper, the entire textbook is at your disposal. Finally, extra points will be awarded to those who can successfully bring in outside sources. All outside sources must be germane to the topic(s) at hand and emanate from a credible academic outlet (journals/book chapters, etc.).

Papers should be 4-5 pages, double-spaced, with 12-pt Times New Roman font and 1-inch margins. Also, you need to demonstrate writing proficiency at the college and university level (please check for any typos and/or grammatical errors).

HIS 320 Quiz

Again, the best responses will:

A) Use relevant and clear evidence in the form of direct quotations from the readings

B) Integrate those quotations using methods three and four from HW1 (so it makes sense to review how to do so; see HW 1 reading if you have not yet mastered that skill)

C) Reduce those quotation to 11 or fewer words (so it makes sense to review how to do so; see here if you don’t know how to do so: https://lpsessaywriting.wordpress.com/quotations/cuttingchanging-quotes/)

D) employ argument structures that follow cl/ev/wa (again, the HW1 reading carefully details how to improve your argumentative approach through cl/ev/wa)

E) NO OUTSIDE SOURCES PERMITTED
