The last step of a traditional academic research project is the written academic research essay. However, in this course your project can take many forms, from essays, proposals, and reports to creative projects and “unessay” projects. Your goal is to “answer” your research question in the medium and genre best suited to your audience and to your context, as well as your own interests and goals.
Demonstrate evidence of research through the use of sources gathered for the Research Documentation Assignment. At least five sources should be used for the final project (PREPARE).
Analyze research gathered for the Research Documentation Assignment (PREPARE).
Synthesize research gathered for the Research Documentation Assignment (COMMUNICATE and CREATE).
Integrate research into your final project with accuracy, fairness, and relevance (DESIGN and COMMUNICATE).
Compose a research project that communicates your purpose and evidence with clarity and precision (COMMUNICATE).
Design a final product that suits your audience and context with logic, depth, and breadth (DESIGN, PREPARE, CREATE, COMMUNICATE, REFLECT).

I need an essay which contains introduction, 3 body paragraphs and the conclusion centered around this outline that I am including.

Earlier this semester, we analyzed the rhetorical choices of written and oral texts. This round will be solely devoted to the Rhetorical Analysis of Great Speeches. 
Choose the speech you would like to analyze–either John F. Kennedy’s Inaugural Address, Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream Speech” delivered at the March on Washington, or “What to the Slave is the 4th of July” speech given by Frederick Douglass. After reading and annotating the speech of choice, you will write a well-constructed essay analyzing the rhetorical choices made by the speaker to achieve their purpose–2-3 pages in MLA format.
I have my outline just cannot bring myself to write the actual paper 

READ Carefully
Instructions
The final project will be a multimedia presentation. Imagine that you’re giving this presentation to your colleagues/employees/employers/stakeholders as a way to reach common ground to resolve a problem.Although this is to be completed as a multimedia presentation, you will still need to show a strong use of the Rogerian structure and argument. Ensure this is a Rogerian approach and not an informative speech or a Toulmin argument.
Choosing a topic:
For this project, you’re not trying to take a stance and prove your stance, rather you’re trying to solve a problem within your field of study (or workplace or home or wherever). Focus on what problems need to be resolved. Explore the proposed solutions from various viewpoints. Propose the “best” solution by establishing a common ground for all stakeholders. Much of the challenge with this project is that you must demonstrate you’ve analyzed multiple solutions from multiple perspectives and found a solution that is (cleverly) based on the common ground of those perspectives.
Structure of presentation: Make sure to include the following sections in your presentation:
introduction,
argument/presentation objectives,
claim,
background,
body,
conclusion.
Make sure your presentation includes the following:
A brief background for your topic and the problem you’re addressing,
A discussion of the various sides of the debate, including core values or warrants underlying their arguments
The common ground you’ve identified for those various perspectives
The proposed solution based on that common ground.
What does Multimedia mean?Any of the following artifacts can be compiled as part of a multimodal project: advertisements, audio files, blogs, collages, comic books, video clips, interviews, phone conversations, lectures, field observations, photos, blogs, posters, presentations, charts, graphs, skits, films, videos, television shorts, websites, performances. You can convey information and images in any way you like to communicate your message.A few apps you might consider using on their own or in combination:
Powtoon
Prezi
Animoto
Audio Voiceover
Instagram
Storbird
PowerPoint
Screencast (Jing)
Google Sites
Canva
Smore

Expectations
Your project should in some way incorporate the following, however briefly:
Engage a minimum of 2 scholarly (peer-reviewed) sources (from APUS library) and 2 sources of your choice (4 sources total).
Introduce key issues of this problem—why is it a problem? Why has the problem not been resolved already?
Consider key limitations and barriers to solving the problem.
Address key voices within the conversation—what has been proposed so far? Why have those proposals not been implemented?
Address the commonalities of the viewpoints on how to resolve the problem while also addressing the key differences.
Offer your opinion or impression of the proposed resolutions based on close analysis.
Tempt your audience through common ground to consider the solution you’re proposing.
Note that all writing in the project should be original; the projects will be run through Turnitin upon submission, and all distinctive matching information caught by Turnitin must be formatted as a quotation. DO NOT copy-paste material without immediately marking it as a quotation and citing it. Any multimedia (art, music) inserted or linked in the presentation should also include full bibliographic information. 
All projects should have: 
A title slide.
MLA, APA, or Chicago in-text citations & reference page (choose the style used in your field of study).
The project’s text should be 500-1000 words long 
There needs to be text in the presentation, but don’t let it dominate the slides. Be choosy about what is displayed on the slides/screen. This is a presentation, not an essay. The majority of your text will be in a typed speech (or a script if you record your speech) to accompany the presentation. 
All presentations must have a separate typed speech to show what you would say to the audience if presenting the multimedia show. The typed speech should be in a separate Word document uploaded with your presentation. Even if you choose to do voice recording with closed captioning, you must upload the speech in a separate Word document.
See the attached instructions for help with closed captions and other tech considerations. 
Due Sunday by 11:55pm ET in the Assignments dropbox. Originality of attachments will be verified by Turnitin. Both you and your instructor will receive the results.

Elements of Fiction
Characterization is a means by which writers present and reveal characters – by direct
description, by showing the character in action, or by the presentation of other characters who
help to define each other.
Characters in fiction can be conveniently classified as major and minor, static and dynamic. A
major character is an important figure at the center of the story’s action or theme. The major
character is sometimes called a protagonist whose conflict with an antagonist may spark the
story’s conflict. Supporting the major character are one or more secondary or minor characters
whose function is partly to illuminate the major characters. Minor characters are often static or
unchanging: they remain the same from the beginning of a work to the end. Dynamic
characters, on the other hand, exhibit some kind of change – of attitude, purpose, behavior, as the
story progresses.
Irony is not so much an element of fiction as a pervasive quality in it. It may appear in fiction in
three ways: in a work’s language, in its incidents, or in its point of view. But in whatever form
it emerges, irony always involves a contrast or discrepancy between one thing and another. The
contrast may be between what is said and what is meant (verbal irony), what is expected to
happen and what actually happens (situational irony) or between what a character believes or
says and what the reader understands to be true (dramatic irony).
Plot, the action element in fiction, is the arrangement of events that make up a story. Many
fictional plots turn on a conflict, or struggle between opposing forces, that is usually resolved by
the end of the story. Typical fictional plots begin with an exposition, that provides background
information needed to make sense of the action, describes the setting, and introduces the major
characters; these plots develop a series of complications or intensifications of the conflict that
lead to a crisis or moment of great tension. The conflict may reach a climax or turning point, a
moment of greatest tension that fixes the outcome; then, the action falls off as the plot’s
complications are sorted out and resolved (the resolution or dénouement). Be aware, however,
that much of twentieth-century fiction does not exhibit such strict formality of design.
Point of view refers to who tells the story and how it is told. The possible ways of telling a story
are many, and more than one point of view can be worked into a single story. However, the
various points of view that storytellers draw upon can be grouped into two broad categories:
Third-Person Narrator (uses pronouns he, she, or they):
1. Omniscient: The narrator is all-knowing and takes the reader inside the characters’
thoughts, feelings, and motives, as well as shows what the characters say and do.
2. Limited omniscient: The narrator takes the reader inside one (or at most very few
characters) but neither the reader nor the character(s) has access to the inner lives of
any of the other characters in the story.
3. Objective: The narrator does not see into the mind of any character; rather he or she
reports the action and dialogue without telling the reader directly what the characters
feel and think.
First-Person Narrator (uses pronoun I):
The narrator presents the point of view of only one character’s consciousness, which
limits the narrative to what the first-person narrator knows, experiences, infers, or can
find out by talking to other characters.
Setting is the physical and social context in which the action of a story occurs. The major
elements of setting are the time, the place, and the social environment that frames the characters.
These elements establish the world in which the characters act. Sometimes the setting is lightly
sketched, presented only because the story has to take place somewhere and at some time.
Often, however, the setting is more important, giving the reader the feel of the people who move
through it. Setting can be used to evoke a mood or atmosphere that will prepare the reader for
what is to come.
Style is the way a writer chooses words (diction), arranges them in sentences and longer units of
discourse (syntax) and exploits their significance. Style is the verbal identity of a writer, as
unmistakable as his or her face or voice. Reflecting their individuality, writers’ styles convey
their unique ways of seeing the world.
A Symbol is a person, object, image, word, ore vent that evokes a range of additional meanings
beyond and usually more abstract than its literal significance.
Symbols are devices for evoking
complex ideas without having to resort to painstaking explanations. Conventional symbols have
meanings that are widely recognized by a society or culture, i.e., the Christian cross, the Star of
David, a swastika, a nation’s flag. A literary or contextual symbol can be a setting, a character,
action, object, name, or anything else in a specific work that maintains its literal significance
while suggesting other meanings. For example, the white whale in Melville’s Moby Dick takes
on multiple symbolic meanings in the work, but these meanings do not automatically carry over
into other stories about whales.
Theme is the central idea or meaning of a story. Theme in fiction is rarely presented at all; it is
abstracted from the details of character and action that compose the story. It provides a unifying
point around which the plot, characters, setting, point of view, symbols, and other elements of a
story are organized. Be careful to distinguish theme from plot – the story’s sequence of actions –
and from subject – what the story is generally about.
Tone is the author’s implicit attitude toward the reader, subject, and/or the people, places, and
events in a work as revealed by the elements of the author’s style. Tone may be characterized as
serious or ironic, sad or happy, private of public, angry or affectionate, bitter or nostalgic, or any
other attitudes and feelings that human beings experience. 
Please include this Examples in that Essay because the teacher wants to see them include in each Essay Stories: 
By looking at the car as a symbol, we can see a representation if a brotherhood. ( After that some people like to add another sentence like what happened to the car, was it become   terrilbe..) This is important because it  illustrates the theme of the elusiveness of dreams and the disilusionment   that often follows. 
Introduction Paragraph: 1.   
Introduce
the story/poem/play you’re writing about. Ex. “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston tells the
story of a Black washerwoman named Delia in 1920’s Florida who must contend
with an abusive husband. 2.   
Introduce
your topic. For example, if you want to talk about the snake as a symbol, talk a little about how the snake appears in
the story.  Ex. One of the ways in which
Delia’s husband humiliates and frightens her is by bringing a snake into their
home. Delia, a meek, churchgoing woman is deathly afraid of snakes, as they
stand for everything which she and her religion oppose. 3.   
Conclude
your introduction with the Magic Thesis Statement (MTS) Ex. By looking at the snake as a symbol, we can see a representation of an
evil that ultimately devours itself, which most readers don’t see. Although
the snake begins as a means for Sykes to intimidate Delia, it soon gets free
from it’s holding box, enters her laundry basket and, in the climax of the
story, bites and kills Sykes rather than Delia. It is important to look at this aspect of the text because it
illustrates the theme that karma will ultimately destroy evildoers. NOTE: Theme should not include mention of the characters in
the story. This is because the theme is where the story opens up to apply to
everyday life, not just the text. Therefore, your theme should be what an
author has to say about a big idea (karma, in this case) generally, NOT AS IT
APPLIES ONLY TO THE STORY. NOTE: Be as specific as possible. You don’t want the title
or an element of fiction (alone) or the character’s name to go in the first
slot ever (By looking at “Sweat”…. By looking as Delia….  By looking at symbolism….). Tell us what
symbol specifically you’ll be looking at. It should be one symbol (the frying
pan as a symbol) or one group of symbols (domestic items symbolically). It
should not be multiple, unrelated symbols (By looking at the snake, the house
and the frying pan symbolically…) Body Paragraphs (at least 3): 1.   
Situate
us in the story and introduce your topic
Ex. In the beginning of the
story, Sykes brings a snake into Delia’s home while she is separating laundry
by light colors and dark colors. This is the first time Hurston introduces the
snake and through her descriptive language we can see how the snake is symbolic
of Sykes’ evil. 2.   
Bring
in a quote as evidence to back up you point (in this case that the snake is
symbolic of Sykes’ evil)
3.   
Analyze
the quote. Explain how it does indeed go to show that the snake is
representative of Sykes’ evil. Do not end a paragraph on a quote. You need to
explain/analyze your quotes each time. Conclusion Paragraph: 1. Restate your
thesis (in different words) 2. Summarize your
main points (in different words) 3. End with a
personal comment/suggestion for further inquiry
To further our understanding of Hurston’s use of the snake
as a symbol, we may want to do a comparative analysis between the snake in the
Book of Genesis and the snake in “Sweat”.
NOTE: Do not
write “In conclusion….” Or “In summary….” Or anything like that. NOTE: Short
stories are always in quotations: “Sweat” and “A Good Man is Hard to Find” NOTE: If a
quotation is long and you only need certain sections you can do this to shorten
it and get to the point: “glkrsajgeijgigrqiljglirgiqng … gasijrgnqeignijgrnq  … ljgnqilgnqlin”  (23). NOTE: The above
citation structure. Quote, end quote, parenthesis with page number, period. 

For this homework assignment, you’ll need your “parts of argument” Download “parts of argument”handout. First, review the handout to make sure you understand the rhetorical function of all of the parts of argument. Then complete the following “parts of argument flowchart” Download “parts of argument flowchart”according to your essay draft. So, you’ll be taking your essay draft apart to place the “parts of argument” (claim, reasons, evidence . . .) into the flowchart.
What to submit:
Please submit ONLY the completed flowchart. I should be able to read through your chart and get a good sense of your argument and how you’re developing your paper.

LOOK AT THE STUDENT-SUBMITTED EXAMPLE ON THE HOME PAGE OF THIS SITE.
Choose your topic from this list of choices: 
Should standardized testing be eliminated from K-12, should it just be modified, or should it be kept as is?
Can the United States continue its policy as defender of the Western World?
Should abortion be legal nationally, regardless of states’ laws?
Purpose
This major assignment attempts to ensure that students are comfortable using the skills they have learned to move fluidly among different argumentative rhetorical situations and styles. Composition II, the course following this one, focuses on writing longer sustained arguments that attempt to solve complex problems by finding common ground. More importantly, students’ professional and personal lives will require those same skills. By using this argument style, students will engage in metacognition (awareness of one’s own thought processes) to finalize this semester’s course of study.
Learning Goals
• Demonstrate the ability to enter effectively into a discourse community.
• Compose a document that demonstrates understanding of how to select and structure from specific types of claims.
• Demonstrate effective use of the Toulmin argument structure, in addition to ethos, logos, and pathos utilization.
• Demonstrate the ability to engage in research critically and thoughtfully, and to then effectively incorporate ideas from research into one’s own argument.
• Use APA format to present a rhetorical situation, and use the skills taught to correctly avoid plagiarism and present ideas effectively.
• Use self-reflection to provide metacognitive analysis of one’s own composition process.
Assignment
Compose an essay for a college-level audience in which you use Toulmin argument methods to argue a claim. The final paper should be four (4) to five (5) content pages in length and have an additional cover page and “References” page. Your argument itself should incorporate support from among five (5) or more sources from the ONLINE DATABASES (JSTOR, Statista, eBooks on EbscoHost), and the entire paper should demonstrate correct use of APA format and documentation. Use the following steps:
1. After exploring the discourse community and rhetorical situation through reading, discussion, and invention, create an original, purposeful, manageable claim of your own to add to the discussion.
2. Create an outline for Toulmin argument style development of the claim and submit it to the course assignment folder for professor input.
3. After receiving input back on your plan from the professor, conduct research for the essay and then write a complete draft of the essay, and bring one printed copy to class for peer review.
4. Receive informal input from class members and formal input from the professor (if time allows) on your draft. Use other resources such as tutor.com, the Writing Lab, and the Rose State College tutors as needed.
5. Based on the input, revise the essay, proofread it, and submit to the assignment folder for grading.
6. Reflect on the final essay draft in order to gain metacognition regarding your own composition processes.
Assessment Criteria
The essay and process should have the following qualities:
• an intellectually complex thesis that makes an original claim on the issue and provides unity and coherence throughout the document
• an introduction that creates a sense of purpose appropriate to the audience
• double-spaced content pages consisting of a well-presented argument; USE Times New Roman 12-pt. font and size with no extra spacing
• ideas that are detailed, well-developed, and supported with appropriate, credible evidence
• effective use of ethos, pathos, logos, kairos, warrants, qualifiers, and refutation of counter-arguments
• body paragraphs with clear topic sentences/subclaims
• an overall document body that is developed using the Toulmin argument structure
• appropriate transitional elements throughout the essay
• a conclusion that provides effective closure by purposefully unifying all ideas presented in the document
• material from CREDIBLE sources that is well-integrated and supports claims argued in the paper, with the information logically placed to enhance the argument
• all source material integrated through introduction and commentary, and by a combination of paraphrasing, summarizing, and direct quoting
• all in-text citations correctly done in APA format, as well as the use of section headings
• all sources documented correctly on the “References” page and that page correctly formatted
• no errors in areas of spelling, punctuation, grammar, and mechanics
• appropriate use of formal language for a college-level essay throughout
no contractions, second person, or absolutes
