Describes each author’s role and importance within the Harlem Renaissance.

The Project Paper focuses on a suggested topic related to art, architecture, history, music, or literature. The project will reflect your views and interpretation of the topic. This project is designed to help you stretch your mind and your abilities to be the creative, innovative, and critical thinker you already are!

 

Choose one (1) of the topics from the list of topic choices below. Read the topic carefully. Write a three to four (3-4) page paper (750-1,000 words) that responds to each of the items described in the topic.

 

For the topic you choose:

 

  1. Support your ideas with specific, illustrative examples. If there are questions or points associated with your chosen topic, be sure to answer all of the listed questions and address all of the items in that topic. If your topic asks you to do several things related to the topic, be sure to do each of the things listed.
  2. While some of the topics tend to lend themselves toward particular writing genres, you are not restricted to the specific format suggested for the individual topic. For example, you may do an “interview,” a “proposal,” a “letter,” a “short story,” a “blog,” an “essay,” an “article,” or any other written genre for almost any of the topics. The project is intended to be fun as well as informative, so feel free to be creative with the delivery of your information.
  3. Use at least three (3) good quality academic sources, with one (1) source being the class text.

    Note: Wikipedia and other similar Websites do not qualify as academic resources. You are highly encouraged to use the Resource Center tab at the top of your Blackboard page.

 

Note:  Your instructor may require you to submit your topic choice for approval before the end of Week 5.

 

Topic choices (pick 1):

 

  • Office Art Memo. Memorandum. Your boss, who knows you have been taking a humanities class since he pays for your tuition reimbursement, has tasked you with managing the art budget for your company, expecting you to choose various pieces of art for the new corporate offices.  (Note: Replicas of the works are acceptable since they are more cost-efficient and you are working on a budget.)  Include the following:
  1. Identify three (3) examples of 19th century Impressionist painting or sculpture and three (3) Post-Impressionist works. Explain how the six (6) pieces of art fall into these two (2) styles.
  2. In a memo, describe the appearance of your six (6) choices to your CEO so he or she will know what the art looks like and where it would be placed in the corporate offices.
  3. Explain why each piece is considered to be historically significant.
  4. Explain how each piece “fits” your company’s overall (or desired) corporate image. Keep in mind that a piece of art is supposed to “say” something about the owner, so describe what would these pieces of art say about your company.

 

  • New Composition. Speech. Your uncle’s birthday is in two (2) months, and everyone knows that he loves almost all kinds of music. As a birthday gift for him, you want to have a special piece of music composed in his honor which will be played at a family birthday celebration. Write a speech that you will make to the composer’s agent. Include the following:
  1. Narrow your choices down to three (3) composers you’ve studied in this course. Choose one (1) of the composers and explain why you want him to write the “birthday present” music.
  2. Explain why the other two (2) composers were ultimately not selected.
  3. Specifically identify the musical elements in the composer’s style that you would like to be included in the new music written for your uncle.
  4. Describe what sort of emotion is generated by listening to the works of your selected composer; in other words, what do you want your uncle to “feel” as he hears the music, and why is this composer so perfect for this composition?

 

  • Harlem Renaissance Poets. Essay & Poem. Choose two (2) poems by different authors from the Harlem Renaissance. Write an essay that:
  1. Describes each author’s role and importance within the Harlem Renaissance.
  2. Identify the elements in each of their poems in which you see evidence of the “double-consciousness” being expressed by each author.
  3. Fully describe at least two (2) primary themes you see in the poetry written during this time period, referring to specific lines in each of the poems.

Discussion Prescriptive and Descriptive Arguments.

Assignment 1: Discussion Prescriptive and Descriptive Arguments

Descriptions describethey depict the what is of a statement. Prescriptions prescribethey express the what ought to be of a statement. When approaching controversial or emotionally charged subjects, critical thinkers are mindful of the different roles that facts and values play in peoples judgments and the different roles they play in different kinds of judgments. This assignment will help deepen your understanding of those distinctions.

To see how an issue can be approached using a descriptive or prescriptive argument, review these examples. Descriptive and prescriptive arguments are considered in the lecture pages for Module 3.

Based on your understanding of descriptive and prescriptive arguments, respond to the following:

Identify a topic of interest for which arguments of different perspectives can be created.
Construct one original descriptive argument and one original prescriptive argument for the topic you select.
Support your arguments with scholarly references. Be sure to provide citations for your sources as well as citations for a premise you state to be a fact.

Write your initial response in a total of 200300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

By Saturday, November 21, 2015, post your response to the appropriate Discussion Area. Through Wednesday, November 25, 2015, review at least two peers responses. Each response should be at least 75 words in length. Critically comment on how they have used evidence in different types of arguments. Be sure to address the following:

Identify the supporting evidence for their arguments.
Offer an assessment of the strength of the evidence provided in support of the argument. Include a rationale for your statements. You may offer a suggestion for improved supporting evidence.

Exegetical Assignment #3 — Observation Part 3 — Question and Answer Prompts This assignment is worth 50 points. Now that you have identified the literary elements and outlined your pericope, it is important to ask any and all research questions you think are pertinent and begin to formulate some preliminary answers. Below is a list of questions that should be researched with book or article sources (no online sources and NO COMMENTARIES!). In addition to this list, 10 more questions should be composed in preparation for the exegetical paper. After listing the question, generate answers with footnote citations for each question. Answer the following questions about your passage: 1. Context— —How does this pericope relate to the material before it regarding setting (time/place)? —How does this pericope relate to the material before it regarding theme (key words/themes)? —How does this pericope relate to the material after it regarding setting (time/place)? —How does this pericope relate to the material before it regarding theme (key words/themes)? —How does the location of this chapter within the six chapters around it affect the interpretation and meaning? (As a general rule, read at least 3 chapters before and after your assigned pericope) 2. Characters— —What commonalities do the characters have? —What differences do the characters have? —How would you group the characters? —Who develops or changes in the passage? —Who stays static or refuses change? Why? 3. Setting— Page 10 of 29 —Where (in what geographic location) is the narrative or event set? —Where would this location be today? —What was the topography of the place (elevation, climate, resources, etc.) —Who lived in this place? —What archaeological data helps with understanding what this place was like? —Is the narrative a travel narrative? If so, where are they travelling FROM? Where are they travelling TO? — Is the setting significant for meaning? If so, why? 4. Time— —What time designations are present? (If no time is mentioned, look in the pericopae that precede and follow.) —What time of day? Month? Season? Year? —What would be the numerical significance of the time markers? —Is there any reference to past events (retrospect)? —Is there any foreshadowing of future events (anticipation)? 5. Key (and/or repeated) phrases/words— —In a concordance or lexicon, look up the key words you found. What other passages in the Torah have the key words? —Based on the other passages, what are the words meanings in the ancient socio- linguistic system? —Are the words used literally or figuratively? Are you sure? 6. Historical Background— —In a Bible Dictionary or Encyclopedia, look up any historical elements that you noted. Historical elements are People, Titles, Group Names, Nations, Events, etc. Basically anything capitalized, except for places, should be included here along with events. —What should a reader know about each Historical element in order to understand the passage better? 7. Socio-cultural Elements— —Are there any references eating or drinking in the text? What actions or items are present that should be understood within the culture of the people at that time? Look up these in a Bible Dictionary, Bible Encyclopedia, or Scholarly Journal. —Are there any social institutions, jobs, or roles mentioned (e.g., leadership, patron/client,elder,etc.)? LookuptheseinaBibleDictionary,BibleEncyclopedia, or Scholarly Journal. —What honor or shame is expected for these people? How are the characters being honored or shamed, and is this appropriate for the culture at the time? —Who is in the “in” group and who is in the “out” group? Why? What makes them “in” or “out”? —How is kinship, ethnicity, and/or gender being constructed? Who has power? Who does not? Who should? HINT: a repeated word or phrase almost always means that the meaning in one context within the pericope is the same as the meaning in the other context within the pericope. Page 11 of 29 7. Socio-cultural Elements— —10 additional questions that you generate based on your own passage The goal here is to bombard the text with any and all questions that are important for research and then to look for the answers in the appropriate location. Everything depends on how intently you read. In short, the better your questions, the better your research, and by extension, the better will be your final exegetical paper. Formatting Requirements for Question and Answer Prompts Page length —2-6 pages maximum Font: Times New Roman size 12 Include heading with Name, Date, Class Name Single spaced Margins = one inch Submit questions in list form using either numbers or bullets

Discuss affect neurotransmitters, and the benefits and limitations of using the drug.

Describe your general opinion about the use of psychotherapeutic drugs and your reasoning for this view. Complete a quick search about a specific psychotherapeutic drug (a specific antidepressant, antipsychotic, anti-manic drug, or a mood stabilizer). If you are familiar with some medications, choose one that you are not familiar with) AND look for an example that another member of the class has not already described.

Do not simply cut and paste from other sources! Include anything that surprised you from researching this drug.

 

Use several carefully chosen quotes to support your argument.

Prompt: In his Meditations, Descartes undertakes a project of doubt in order to establish what we can know with certainty. (1) By the end of the Meditations, what does he think he knows with certainty, and (2) what arguments has he used to establish these positions? While Fichte’s Vocation of Man also begins with doubt, Fichte concludes that we can never have certainty about the world outside of us through knowledge alone. (3) Why does he think this and (4) how does he think we obtain conviction about the world instead (and explain his position)? (5) Do you think we can obtain knowledge about the world, and how do we do so (through knowledge alone, as Descartes would have it, through faith, as Fichte would, or by some other means)? Support your thinking with reasons. Specifications: a) Your essay must be 1000-1500 words b) It is due Monday, November 23 c) You must turn in a hard-copy in class and submit an electronic copy to canvas (by the start of class). d) Underline your thesis and topic sentences. e) Use several carefully chosen quotes to support your argument. It does not matter how you cite them, so long as you do.

 

The report should be printed, and formatted with the highest possible quality of presentation.

Marking scheme: 50% of the mark comes from the aforementioned ten questions (5% for each), and 50% from the overall presentation of the business report.

The report should be printed, and formatted with the highest possible quality of presentation. It must contain graphs and as much colour as possible. No assumptions should be made on the academic background and experience of the potential readership. References should be used carefully and the majority coming from practitioner/business sources (www, the press, etc) and any technical details /analysis should be in an appendix. Overall the main body should not be more than 2500 words.
