Explain what McCabe is trying to say on the second page when he says that the presence of Jesus after his death was not like being haunted by a ghost.

Why do you think McCabe says that “Jesus is not a god” on the first page? (Hint: McCabe is not trying to overthrow the outcomes of those councils we’ve discussed, so something else is happening here…)

What do you think McCabe means when he says that “Jesus lived out his humanity more consistently than I do”？Also, what does this statement tell you about what is means to be a human being?

Explain what McCabe is trying to say on the second page when he says that the presence of Jesus after his death was not like being haunted by a ghost. In other words, why shouldn’t we think of Jesus as a ghost?

McCabe writes that it’s totally incorrect to say that the Jewish leaders hated Jesus because they didn’t believe in God’s love and mercy and grace. So what was it about Jesus that made some of the Jewish people upset at the time?

McCabe points out that from a strictly historical perspective, we can say that Jesus seems like a generous, insightful, courageous figure who was either a little egotistical or maybe something else. But, McCabe says that some of his followers were convinced that Jesus was definitely something else. How did those earliest Christians see Jesus?

The early Christians did not simply invent the name “son of God” out of thin air. What did it mean before it was used to describe Jesus, and how did its meaning change when it was applied to Jesus?

Why is “faith” something more than agreeing with what Jesus said, according to McCabe?

McCabe compares the relationship between Jesus and God to the relationship between a human child and her human parent. Spend some time reading that part carefully. In your own words, explain how the comparison works and where the comparison doesn’t quite match up. In other words, how is that relationship between God and Jesus similar to human relationships with parents, and how is it different?

Finally, try to explain what you think McCabe means when he says in the final paragraph: “Of course the eternal love is enacted in our world in the crucifixion, in blood and torture and death, because that is the sort of world we have made of God’s creation: a tragic world in which loving obedience and faithfulness mean suffering and persecution.”

Identify several conventions of the comics genre. A “convention of the genre” is a technique or motif that an author or artist uses to tell a story – something the reader expects from things in that category.

Book’s name is Maus by ART SPIEGELMAN

Identify several conventions of the comics genre. A “convention of the genre” is a technique or motif that an author or artist uses to tell a story – something the reader expects from things in that category. You will write a 5-6 page paper about Art Spiegelman’s use of the conventions of the comics genre in his epic graphic novel, Maus. I want to see you handle references to (and quotations of) several different texts WRITE: Look at the graphic novels ‘Maus’, and the second one is ‘Ms. Marvel’. Using these as your specimens, you’re going to create an argument that identifies a few conventions of the comics genre and that explains how Art Spiegelman (author of Maus) uses them to tell his dark and terrifying family stories. Provide textual evidence from multiple sources to support your thesis. A prototypical thesis will say “X, Y and Z are conventions of the comics genre. We can see them here and here in the comics I’ve found, and Art Spiegelman uses them here, here, and here, in order to ????” That’s the most important question: why does Spiegelman use those conventions? What is his artistic intention? What advantage do SPECIFIC CONVENTIONS give him in his effort to get his themes across to you? What is he trying to convey to the reader? You might deal with this part as a matter of course, or you might make a final movement of the paper out of it – it might lead to your conclusion. The conventions that I chose are speech balloons, characters’ opposing forces and drawings. So analyzing both Maus and Ms. Marvel, you should write how Art Speigelmen uses them in his comic book Maus. (You should also talk about Ms. Marvel too, they are two different comic genre maybe the differences vs. similarities, but the focus is on Maus). I have wrote just one paragraph about speech balloons (attached), it might help you but it is still lacking WHY Spiegelman uses ‘speech balloons’ in order to convey emotions. (i’ve just talked about the fact, you should add why does the author use those bubbles? to relate to emotions?).
Comments from Support Team: Book’s name is Maus by ART SPIEGELMAN! Make sure you have it!
Discipline: Rhetoric

I uploaded some documents as a reference. But for the last essay, do not write the same conventions (speech bubbles, drawings, opposing forces). Find another conventions for a comic book. That essay is just an example.

The notebook is a place for you to reconfigure your beliefs and understandings about what it means to be a teacher/learner of language and literacy. It is also a place to realize the elasticity and usefulness of theory in practice. A high degree of engagement with ideas and a willingness to stretch and challenge your thinking is expected. This means that you move beyond the superficial and the general—and really work with ideas and insights. Approximately once a week, you will choose a specific issue, question, quote, insight, or idea that arises from your work with the required course materials. Explore the issue/question/insight/idea and also make connections with one or two of the following: your own experiences with language and literacy (both in school and out of school), your teaching experiences, other readings/resources, and/or class work. I encourage you to revisit articles/resources that seem relevant as you write. The notebook can be handwritten or in electronic and/or blog form. Please date each entry. And, please do not use the actual names of teachers, students, schools, etc. if they arise in the course of your work. The notebook normally serves as a springboard for the synthesis paper. Criteria relevant for notebooks (from those outlined in Grading section of the course outline): • demonstration of clear commitment to the course through active and thoughtful engagement with issues, ideas, and activities • willingness to take intellectual risks and to stretch the boundaries of your thinking and learning • ability to make insightful connections among readings, class activities and discussions, previous experiences with language and literacy, and present learning/teaching contexts • ability to use written language as ways of making sense of new ideas and sorting out thinking Also considered, in relation to each entry: • a clear central focus/question/issue has emerged through the writing/reading process • the focus/question/issue is examined in depth as opposed to superficially • a spirit of questioning and/or a reflective stance is apparent, as is questioning about your educational context, teaching practice and/or previous experiences • clear consideration of assigned reading(s) and in-class discussions

Discussed in class, a great way to start gathering input from your Key Stakeholders is to produce a Project

Excel

Instructions:

Prepare a Project Charter for Integration.

As we discussed in class, a great way to start gathering input from your Key Stakeholders is to produce a Project Charter (very similar to your Scope assignment with the word Preliminary in front of Scope Description and Product Description) Add Preliminary in front of the Scope Description and Product Description and add 3 signatures on the bottom and submit it for your Integration input.

Note: I will attach my Project + an example of an integration.
