  • “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. 
    I. Introduction A. Definition of Great Powers B. Concept of International Order C. Significance of the Topic D. Thesis Statement
    300 
    Paragraph 1

    II. Historical Context: Great Powers and the Evolution of the International Order A. Emergence of Great Powers in History B. Shaping of the Modern International Order C. Role of Great Powers in Key Historical Events D. Transition from Bipolar to Multipolar World

    How it maintains international order?
    3 Human Rights

    – why its important – 
    – what role do great powers play in it 
    – alliances, treaties, peacekeeping operations 
    – examples of successes and international order
