“Designing a User-Friendly Website Prototype: A Squarespace Example”
A functioning URL should be provided to access the website prototype. The site should be well-designed along usability principles (clear navigation).
You can use any editing software you want (If you can, I have a Squarespace account, can you try and use that). The use of a prototype is to give an idea of the finished website so the site does not have be fully functional but should contain enough content to give a good idea of the final version. -

“Controversial Curriculum: Examining the Validity of Banning and Challenging Books in High Schools” The Dangers of Drug Use and Addiction in Young Adult Literature
Parents,
activists, school board officials and lawmakers are challenging books at a pace
not seen in decades. At the same time, schools are mired in debates over what
students should learn about in U.S. history. In the last two years, dozens of
state legislatures introduced bills that would limit what teachers can say
about race, gender, sexuality and inequality.
All
of this is part of a larger debate over politics in public school education.
Across the United States, parents have demanded more oversight over
curriculums, and school board meetings have erupted into fiery discussions.
For
this final essay, you have selected a book that has been banned or challenged
in the United States in the past decade.
Your task is to either recommend its inclusion or exclusion in a high
school curriculum.
When making your recommendation, you should consider the
following:
What topics
are included that may be considered controversial?
Are these
topics inappropriate for discussion in a high school curriculum?
Are these topics
important for high school students to consider and discuss?
What is the
history of the challenges to this book?
Are these
challenges valid?
Audience: You should write
the essay as though your reader is academic and educated but may not be as familiar
as you are with the texts.
Organization of Assignment:
The
paper should be organized into three sections: the introduction, body, and
conclusion.
Introduction:
The
introduction will begin with a creative “hook” designed to intrigue your reader
and pique his or her interest. The introduction should end with a clear
thesis statement that indicates what you will assert/prove about the social
media-related topic you have selected.
Body of the
essay:
In
the body of the paper, each supporting paragraph should cover one main idea
that supports your thesis. Each paragraph should include quotes and/or
paraphrases from the articles that provide evidence to support the topic
sentence. Transitions should be used to bridge one paragraph point to the
next.
At least one body paragraph must present a counterclaim to your
thesis statement. You are expected to
present this counterclaim and to refute it using well-researched and explained
evidence.
Conclusion:
The
final paragraph should wrap up your essay and make some final statement about
the paper’s topic. You will restate the thesis and remind your reader of
the evidence you used.
Use
of Evidence in the Essay:
To
make an informed recommendation, you will need to provide research that speaks
to the effects of “difficult” language o material on middle or high school aged
students. The articles that we have read
in class are primarily opinion pieces, which may be used to establish the
various perspectives on the issue of banning/challenging books. However, your recommendation must be
supported by credible research, so you will need to locate and use at least two
(2) sources from professional, peer-reviewed sources. The best place to locate these sources is
through the ACC library data base.
Each
body paragraph should use appropriate amounts of properly formatted and cited
quotations or paraphrases. Direct quotes should be carefully selected, properly
contextualized and introduced beforehand, and commented upon afterwards. The evidence should be balanced between
quotes from the book under consideration and articles about the book challenge.
Use
of MLA in the Essay:
Essays must be
formatted according to MLA style rules.
In addition, all quotations and paraphrases should be properly cited according
to MLA rules, and all texts should be cited on a Works Cited page, properly
formatted in MLA style. Use the “MLA
Checklist” and “Guidelines for Preparing and Submitting an Essay in MLA Style”
provided for you and posted on Blackboard.
Grammar / Correctness:
Your
writing should be formal and clear and your essay should contain few
errors. You should strive for less than one error per page. Below
are a few other “rules” to keep in mind as you write:
·
Do not use the first person (“I” or “we” or “our”).
·
Do not use the second person (“you,” “your”).
·
Avoid contractions (don’t, wouldn’t, isn’t) and instead write
out the words (do not, would not, is not).
Plagiarism:
Plagiarism
is plagiarism, whether you plagiarize several words, one sentence, or an entire
essay.
To
do well on this essay:
·
Complete all assignments that are provided to prepare you to
write the essay.
·
Make a conferencing appointment if you need more discussion
/explanation than that provided in class.

PLAN
What role (if any) do great powers play in the maintenance of the international order today?
200
Great powers have hierarchical relations between each other and in order to keep peace they need to focus on balances of power, more specifically on external balances such as treaties, alliances , political and economic agreements in order to maintain international order. Power is the ability to exert influence through various means over others, therefore Great powers due to their high order have the ability to control international order. In this essay I will explain the soft and hard power of a Great Power and their relation. As well focus on the 4 main areas of global governance that shape international order: Global economy and politics, human rights, environment and security and military operations.
