Post Misrepresents immigrants’ Eligibility for Socisl Security Numbers, Benefit
By Alan Jaffe. Posted on April 26, 2024
– Immigrants who are lawfully living or authorized to work in the U.S. are eligible for a Social Security number and, in some cases, Social Security benefits. But viral posts make the false claim that “illegal immigrants” can receive Social Security numbers and retirement benefits
– Social Security numbers can also be assigned to “an individual with a valid nonwork reason… For example, they need an SSN because of a federal or state law requiring an SSN to get a benefit or service,” Henriquez said.
– Many of the immigrants arriving at the U.S. southern border in recent years have sought asylum claiming they fear returning to their home countries because of persecution and other dangers.

* HOMEWORK: ESSAY 4 (RESEARCH PAPER) DUE on Thursday, May 30, 2024 at 11:59 pm as a Word attachment in an email to me: (1,250 – 1,500 words—10-11 paragraphs).
Compare/contrast the views of two current candidates (perhaps one of them being the candidate you discussed in Essay 2) on 2 or 3 political issues that are important to you. 
Through research from 4 or more sources (including each candidate’s major website and a source that is critical of the candidate), present the individual’s position on each of these issues, as well as their past experience in dealing with it, if applicable. Indicate your view of strengths and weaknesses of the candidates’ views. If there is a factor that is not related to the issues but that you consider extremely important in evaluating a candidate, you need to include it. (For example, if you feel that a candidate has no chance of winning but would hurt the chances of a candidate who would be an acceptable choice, this could be a factor.) Thesis-question for the conclusion: On the basis of your judgment of the findings, if only these two candidates were running, which one would you vote for in the November election? Why?
Research requirements:
a minimum of 4 sources (Quote directly from each source between 2 and 5 times.)
1 source (of the 4) from a licensed subscription data base 
Quotation in every body paragraph
correct in-text citations for quotes and close paraphrases
a Works Cited with all sources

Robertson, Lori

In a cogent, coherent written essay and using the paired books and movies linked, discuss the different experiences of reading a book with that of watching a film. You will want to utilize the vocabulary used in “8 Elements of Story-Telling that Every Filmmaker Must Know”. In what ways is the cognitive process of reading different than that of watching? How do those differences shape the readers’ interpretations of each medium?
Please include at least two outside sources to support your argument using in-text citation and a Works Cited page.

you will find an article about a research topic of your choosing and transform that article into an infographic. In addition to conveying the main ideas of that article, the multi-page infographic should adhere to the following guidelines:
Design Guidelines:
There is no length requirement for this assignment, but the article you choose to draw from must be at least 5 pages (roughly 2500 words) long. Your infographic must represent the key ideas and information of that article in a visually appealing and informative way.
You must create at least 4 visual aids, such as charts, graphs, or diagrams (not just clipart). You must use good principles of layout and design.  Remember:  An infographic should be aesthetically pleasing and easy to understand.  Use bold text, blank space, color, and visual aids to draw your readers’ attention toward key pieces of information.
You can use any program you’d like to complete this infographic (Google Slides or MS PowerPoint are decent starting places, but you’ll probably want to find some free infographic software like Piktochart or Canva). Keep in mind, though, that you will need to submit the finished document in Canvas as a PDF, PNG, or JPEG.
You must design the infographic and write the text yourself. You should summarize/paraphrase the article’s content (all words should be your own).  While it is ok to use a program’s template for your infographic, your infographic’s content (including charts, graphs, and diagrams) must be your own.  It is not ok to use an infographic created by someone else:  This constitutes plagiarism. If you plagiarize your infographic, you will receive a 0 for the assignment, which means that you cannot pass the course. 
Be sure to cite your article and any copyrighted images at the end of your infographic. Use MLA formatting for your citations.  If you need help with formatting your citations, Purdue OWL’s MLA Formatting and Style Guide has many useful examples.
You should avoid blog posts, Wikipedia, and other unreliable web sources for this project. Instead, use the NCTC Library databases to find a credible source, such as an academic journal article.  I recommend you start with one of the following databases:  Gale in Context: Opposing Viewpoints (References section), Gale in Context: Global Issues (References section), or Gale in Context: Environmental Studies (Environment section).  If you need assistance locating library databases, click here.  You’ll need to use the off campus access through the MyNCTC link.  If you’d like to learn more about the databases, click “Tutorials and Guides” on the right side of the page.
Be sure to save a PDF of your article!  When you turn in your infographic, you will also turn in your source!

MID-TERM ESSAY: THE VICTORIAN AGE 
Select one of the topics below and write an essay in response to it; your finished paper should be at least 3-4 pages long and should contain a clear thesis which you develop and support with examples and discussion. If you refer to any sources outside of our textbook, be sure to properly document your material using MLA documentation format.
TOPIC : 12). Discuss the Victorian view of masculine and feminine characteristics as evident in Tennyson’s “Charge of the Light Brigade” and “Lady of Shallot.” 
BOOK: Greenblatt, et al, ed. The Norton Anthology of English Literature, 10th ed. (Vol. D, E & F) ISBN: 978-0-393-60313-2 

Review the results of your Learning Style Inventory.  Did anything about your top five strengths results surprise you? Explain.

I have atttached my paper. Follow these instructions: Create a 5-8 minute presentation. Presentations must be recorded and should use a visual aid to present information along with the oral information.
Get creative! Your audience is your ENGL1160 class. How are you going to make your argument interesting to that audience? What ethos, pathos, and logos will you use? What will be of interest? What will capture their attention? Make sure you do not make the mistake of creating a presentation that is “death by PowerPoint.” Just read my paper andmake a fun powerpoint that I can talk about for 5-10 mins. Add pictures make it look good I suppose. I will attach rubric later
