Title: Defining Key Terms for Essays on American Heroes and Children’s Free Time Paragraph 1: Defining American Heroes When we think of American heroes, we often envision brave soldiers, selfless first responders, or influential leaders who have
Write two “definition” paragraphs. Pretend you have been assigned two essays making the following claims:
American heroes should have more respect.
Children should have more free time.
In order to successfully compose these essays, you would need to take the time to clarify key terms. What is an American hero? What is “respect?” What ages fit into the category of “children?” What constitutes “free time?” Flesh out your definitions with examples or even very brief narratives. Central to this assignment is understanding that your readers do not necessarily understand key terms the way you do. Your two paragraphs should not explain how the dictionary defines these terms but how you do. (But remember – no first person!)
Requirements: Compose two paragraphs in one document with one APA cover page. Sources are not required but must be cited if used. There is no specific word count for this assignment, but your paragraphs must be a minimum of 6 sentences each. -

Title: “Exploring Children’s Folklore: Is It Folklore? A Discussion on Becky’s Horror Story”
Discussion Post 4: Is It Folklore?
Purpose We have been learning about children’s folklore, including the ghost stories children tell. I think it is useful in this course to revisit the question with which we began the class: what is folklore? After reading and watching this week’s materials, take the following example and offer your opinion of why we should or should not consider it folklore.
Task
In order to successfully complete this discussion, you will need to complete the following tasks using the criteria outlined below:
Becky is a third grader who one night sneaks downstairs to watch the horror movie Friday the 13th: Part III about a supernatural maniac who massacres summer camp counselors with a machete. After a sleepless night, she goes to school and tells her friends at recess all about Jason Vorhees, the hockey-masked serial killer. She gives them her third-grade interpretation of what she saw in the film but many of the details and plot points are muddled and wrong. She makes up what she can’t remember. Her classmates hang on her every word and go home and tell their younger brothers and sisters the story, at least as well as they can remember it from Becky’s version. The younger children tell each other the story over the next few days. A folklorist visiting the school to collect items of children’s ghost stories hears a version of the story told by a second-grader at recess. Is it folklore? Why or why not?
