Content and Organization
• You should include an introductory paragraph that provides 1) a brief overview of the author and the issues and concerns of her essay, 2) a brief definition of the rhetorical strategy (either ethos, logos, or pathos), as well as 3) the thesis statement of your essay, which should be similar to the sample above and should appear at the end of the introductory paragraph. Remember to start with a “hook” that draws in your readers. (See Rules for Writers, Chapter 1e, and the English 1AS Week 4 Lecture.)
• For the body paragraph(s) of the essay, start with a topic sentence that identifies what the author does to create effective ethos, logos, or pathos, then include at least two or three specific examples of the rhetorical strategy your essay focuses on.
• Utilize the sandwiching method by setting up and providing commentary on the quoted and paraphrased material you use to support the topic sentence of the paragraph. (Quotations cannot stand aloneas sentences!) Remember that brackets and ellipses can be employed to make quoted material flow when combined with your words and that you can utilize a combination of quotation and paraphrase, even in the same sentence.
• Be sure to explain to your readers why the examples are effective in supporting the author’s claim and convincing her audience of its validity. Don’t forget to use transitional words and phrases, and make sure that the paragraphs are unified.
• Include a conclusion paragraph in which you re-emphasize the thesis of your essay, as well as discuss the significance of the author’s work that you have just analyzed. (See Rules for Writers, Chapter 1g, and the English 1AS Week 4 Lecture.)
• Utilize a formal academic style (no contractions and no use of first or second person point of view).
• Review the Week 3 Lecture: The College Essay. (https://elcamino.instructure.com/courses/39966/pages/week-3-lecture-the-college-essay)
Format (https://elcamino.instructure.com/courses/39966/pages/week-3-lecture-the-college-essay)
• You should use MLA format for the assignment, including correct margins, a heading and header, as well as putting the page numbers of the quotations or paraphrases in parentheses and punctuating these properly. (Remember: punctuation such as the period or comma goes after the parentheses for correct MLA format.)
• The last page of the essay should be a Works Cited page that includes the article by Gunn Allen, Anzaldua, or Walker, as well as any other source you used (for example, if you included biographical information about the author in your introductory paragraph and you used a source other than
the article itself

Title: A Guide to Conducting a Job Analysis for Talent Management Professionals Introduction A job analysis is a crucial step in the talent management process, as it helps managers and HR professionals understand the requirements and responsibilities of a specific job. By conducting
Create a professional written guide explaining how a manager or HR professional would complete this task. Frame your work as a professional document, not a school assignment (other than in-text citations and a References list, where applicable). This guide should be of a level of quality that you could actually give it to a manager in the workplace to demonstrate your knowledge and capabilities in Talent Management.
The exact format of your paper is up to you, but the guide should have separate sections addressing each of these topics in detail:
What information is needed in order to complete a job analysis for the position that you have chosen to work with?
What sources of information would you seek out? (These are sources such as current or previous workers in this job, current or previous supervisors of this job, existing procedure documents, etc.)
What techniques or methods would you use to collect data?
How do federal employment laws apply when creating your job description?
Remember to keep your focus on the job analysis process, not on the details of your position. You should not be trying to guess at what an actual job analysis would tell you, but rather explaining to your reader how to conduct a job analysis. -

“Reflecting on Service Work: Connections Between Public Health and Environmental Studies Theory and Practice” “Connecting Theory to Practice: Exploring Environmental Justice through Service Work and External Sources” “Exploring the Complexities of Midterm Papers: Strategies for Expanding Content and Meeting Rubric Requirements”
The purpose of the final essay and presentation is to reflect on your own service work, share your experiences with others, make connections between public health and environmental studies theory (literature) and practice (actions, service learning), and to strengthen communications skills, including: formal writing, development of arguments with supporting evidence (research), and visual and oral presentations. To accomplish these objectives, this rubric outlines the characteristics of a successful essay and presentation, and describes how your essay and presentation will be assessed.
Essay:
The structure of the essay should include a descriptive title, introductory paragraph with a thesis statement and preview, a body that consists of paragraphs that make arguments supported by evidence, and a conclusion that reviews the main purpose of the essay and summarizes the key take away points from the body.
The final essay should be 2,500 words, which is roughly 10 pages double spaced, plus a page with the bibliography. The bibliography is not included in the word count. You may choose the font, page margins, spacing (single, 1.5, or double), and number of columns (one or two). However, all papers should include a title, your name, page numbers and bibliography.
My expectation is that the final essay builds on the midterm essay. All of the content in the midterm essay may be included in the final essay, with the exceptions that I will be evaluating your final essay to see if recommendations for the midterm essay are adopted in the final essay, and any prescriptive statements (e.g. I plan to engage in service work with…) are change to past tense (e.g. I completed service work with …, or I had planned to complete service work with …, but needed to change ….). Copy-edits or comments about spelling corrections in the midterm essay content should be corrected. If I commented that the midterm essay thesis statement was unclear or needed to be rewritten, I will look to see that the final essay makes an effort to accommodate those changes.
Content:
The first paragraph should be the introduction, describing briefly your service work and how it relates to ideas in the course (thesis), and how the coming paragraphs will provide more detail about your experience in practice and theory (preview). To see examples of thesis statements and preview statements, please see the midterm rubrics. Keep in mind, to include the updates to the body, which are required, you will likely need to edit your preview statement and possibly your thesis statement, to include additional readings, e.g. Shiva (2008), Davis (2023), and one from the following – Sowards (2018), Fitzsimmons (2018), Embrey (2018), or Whyte (2018).
The body of the essay should provide more details about the service work you have done over the semester. There is flexibility in how you communicate about your work and how you connect your work to the course readings and discussion. You could introduce key theories and definitions and then explore how those theories relate to your service work practice, or you could describe your service work first and relate your work to theories from class. You could have several sub-headings describing different types of work, and in each sub-section connect theory and practice. However, it is necessary to connect your service learning to the public health literature. I would expect that most essays would engage the definition of environmental justice, such as the one used by the EPA.
For the final essay, it is important to cite all of the course texts: Shiva (2008), Davis (2023), two examples from Project 562, and three separate chapters from The Nature of Hope. In addition to these sources, you will need to collect a minimum of four additional sources. One of these sources should relate to your work: it should be an organization’s website. One source should be from peer-reviewed literature. Peer-reviewed literature has undergone peer-review, and includes books, or journal articles that are referenced in citation indexes, such as the Web of Science or JSTOR. One source should be one example from a newspaper, digital news source, or documentary. The last source should be from the visual and performing arts, film and/or humanities (such as literature or poetry). Altogether, I expect a minimum of ten sources: Shiva, Davis, three different authors from The Nature of Hope, Project 562, the organization website most closely related to your service work, a peer-reviewed source, a news source, and an artistic source. Remember, though, you should have already had six sources in the midterm essay, making the final essay a revision that includes four additional sources. Of course other sources are encouraged, but not required, such as adding or citing advocacy writing (letters to the editors or op-eds).
The purpose of the external sources is to demonstrate the connection between public health theory and practice. These sources should be used to provide supporting evidence connected to your service learning. As with the midterm essay, you may identify content from your own reading responses to also use in your essay, if you feel that it is appropriate. For example, you can use the quotes you found from Project 562 and Kyle Powys Whyte from Reading Response #7, which we did in class, or the example from the film we watched and wrote about in Reading Response #8.
The conclusion is the last paragraph. The last paragraph should recap your arguments and end with a well thought out last sentence that includes what you believe is a key take-away message from your essay.
Figures:
In addition to your text and citations, you should plan to include one or more pieces of visual information, such as photos, maps, charts or tables. Photos, maps or charts that you do include should have a feature in a meaningful way in your essay, and they should be referenced using a figure caption title and number (e.g. refer to the figure in the text as Figure 1, and include a caption under the figure with that includes both the figure number and title).
