Bonus consideration for any Literary Theory you use that wasn’t covered in the course (New Criticism, Structuralism, Deconstruction, Psychoanalysis, & Feminism)

Follow / Explore a private business or an organization or a public institution’s social media presence for one week and on one social media platform (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tik Tok, Flickr, etc.)  Your essay will express your major findings and present a well-written, interesting analysis of your chosen subject’s social media effectiveness. 
As you follow the social media account, take notes on the following:
·      What are the product(s) /services / ideas / etc. offered? 
·      Where / how are these things offered? 
·      Who is the target audience? (Be as specific as possible about audience; no product or service is aimed at “everyone.” Find demographic information for customers, include it, and document it.)
Consider the overview of the social media presence of your chosen subject. What platforms do they use? How actively? etc. Why did they choose these social media platforms? In other words, how do these platforms help them connect with their target audience? Note: to be eligible, your chosen private business / organization / public institution must use written language as part of its rhetorical strategy, but you should also consider: What other sorts of compositional strategies dominate? (Videos?  Images?  Memes? Links to other social media sites or web pages?  Etc.) The consider which platform you will choose to focus on, and why.
In your analysis of the social media posts address things like:
·      Are posts appropriate for the brand? Why or why not?
·      Is there interaction between the subject and its audience?  How about between followers of the social media account? Is this interaction useful? Should there be more or less interaction?
·      How many followers /fans / likes, etc. does the account have? Does this seem like a successful number to you? Why or why not?
·      How could the subject improve its social media presence? Be realistic in terms of budget constraints and audience. (Wrong answer: “there is no way they could improve.”)
·      Include examples in your paper (screenshots of posts, links, quotations from posts, etc.).
Organizational Approach to the Essay:
In the Introduction:
·      Begin by energetically introducing your business / organization / institution, and smoothly stipulating the chosen social media platform, as well as the timeframe of your analysis;
·      Deliver your dominant impression of how your subject uses its social media platform: this is your thesis, in which you articulate the essence of your analysis;
·      Indicate the points of analysis to come in your body paragraphs.
In Each Body Paragraph:
·      Begin with a strong, claim-driven topic sentence that establishes the main idea of your paragraph;  
·      Spend the rest of the paragraph backing up / defending that claim by citing / quoting evidence, and through your own strong writing work.
In the Conclusion: 
·      State why you chose your particular business / organization / institution to follow and analyze.  
·      Tell a story to elaborate on your personal interest / stake in the topic.  
·      Highlight what findings most surprised or interested you. 
Your Paper Should:
·      Be at least 1,150 words in length (not counting elements such as screenshots, Works Cited page, etc.) 
·      Correctly document / credit sources from the business  / organization  / institution (social media sites and, if applicable, website pages) both in-text and on a Works Cited page, and incorporate at least one good online source you find on your own (one not about the business or organization you are looking at) that you can use to deepen / enhance your analysis. 

You have completed English Composition I! In as much as reflection is a genre, it is also an action—one of the most important actions of the writing process. Writing a reflection does not mean that you focus on what you would have changed or what you may have failed at doing; instead, a reflection should be a holistic assessment of an experience so that you can apply those lessons to the next experience. 
You have written two essays for this course. Please reflect upon your experience in English Composition I by addressing the following questions. You do not have to address all of them or address them in order. 
What was your most successful essay in this course? You may want to judge that based upon your instructor’s assessment, but it would be more beneficial for you to base this upon what you feel is your best work. What was it that made this essay so successful for you? 
What kinds of elements do you consider when thinking about what makes a successful essay? After listing some of those attributes, how does your “most successful” essay match up with these elements? In what ways does it fall short? 
What would you have done differently when writing the essay you deemed less successful than the other? In thinking about what you would have changed, did you really have the opportunity to make that change at the time? Why, or why not? 
What have you learned about the writing process? How has the emergence or, at least, definition of that process changed how you write, if at all? 
What was your favorite thing that we did in the course? Why? What was the least appealing thing we did in the course? Why? What revisions would you suggest for this course to make it more impactful? 
Think about Part III of the discussion board in Unit I that asked you to consider your greatest strengths and weaknesses as a writer and to anticipate the greatest challenges you would face in this course. Now that you have completed the class, have your answers to these questions changed? If so, how? 

To participate in this discussion, you must view the film, The Great White Hoax-Donald Trump and the Politics of Race and Class in America After viewing the film, participate in our weekly discussion, answering the following questions strictly based on the analysis provided by anti-racist scholar and educator, Tim Wise: Racial scapegoating: According to Wise, what role did fear and danger play in the appeals Donald Trump made to American voters? Which voters did he seem to be addressing his message to?
Trumpism and Political Norms: What are some other examples of racial “dog-whistles” that white politicians have used with white audiences to communicate that black and brown people are the source of their problems?
Divide and Conquer Politics: Why does Wise say Donald Trump “functions like a walking, talking opioid”?
Trumpism and White Cultural Anxiety: What is cultural anxiety and what role did it play in Trump’s victory ? A Perfect Storm of White Male Anxiety: What was the reaction of most Trump supporters when he was caught on tape glamorizing and making light of sexual assault? What’s your own take on what these supporters had to say about this? Learning from the Past: Why does Wise see reason for optimism despite rising levels of intolerance, racism, and white nationalism since Trump’s election?
Provide substantial and constructive feedback to at least two classmates (no classmate feedback, no grade).
To help me see your direct answers for each question, please number each response 1-7. If your submissions are not clearly organized this way, your grade may be impacted. (I will give u the two classmates responses after you finish 1-6)

More developing countries are given aid from international organizations to help them in their development plans. Some people argue that financial aid is important but others suggest that practical aid and advice are more important.

Does
gramma matter

Hello David,
Thank you for sharing your perspective on the importance of
grammar. I am glad that you highlighted how the evolution of grammar and language
happens over time. I believe with the current evolution of language, it might
be difficult for younger learners to comprehend “standard” grammar
because of the language they are accustomed to. It might be important for the
standards to evolve with the generations as well.

Hello David
David, reading
your review on “Connecting to a Globe Tribe” was very insightful.
Empathy is a strong core value, I feel like the world needs more of it. I
believe that Harding makes valid points without even realizing it. the way he
effortlessly travels around the world enjoying life and sharing that experience
with others is truly an amazing thing. Empathy is a solid core value when
describing this story. 

Exercise 3: Final Reflection
To close our course, this exercise provides the chance to both look back on what you have done and what you will take into future reading, learning, and writing.
The goal is to consider once more–and therefore better understand–the semester’s work on rhetoric, information, university-level research, and experiments in writing.
In this exercise, explain what course concepts you found the most useful and productive for your work this semester, what you imagine will be helpful in your education to come, and why.
Based on your experiences, insights, and self-understanding, you are writing from an “I” or subjective position. But since it is also about ideas, practices, and goals that are shared amongst your classmates, writers, critical readers, university-level thinkers, your writing should use/reference the vocabulary of rhetoric, research, etc. that is shared between you and such an audience. The writing should be formal, thoughtful, critical, and reflective. You might thus consider what you learned about the various elements of the rhetorical situation, differences in genre, the dynamics of the information cycle, the way information circulates through various modalities, the research potential of citation chasing, etc. Think of those you already find yourself using to develop insights in different contexts beyond this class or anticipate using in the future.
Along the way, illustrate and support assertions with references to specific readings, research steps, moments of illumination, your writing process and products, etc.

With listening to the Very Bad Wizards podcast and watching the film Her we might be able to understand why philosopher Neil Sinhababu believes that we can have a meaningful loving relationship with a girl in another possible world. Possible worlds are a metaphysical concept that philosophers use to think about strange things. We have the laws of nature, logic, and technology that can hold us into thinking that things can never possibly happen in our world. Metaphysically possible suggests that we just have to conceive of its possibility on some possible world and we can then examine the claims meaningfully (this is why a lot of metaphysicians write sci-fi on the side). With that being said, we also see Theodore Twombly falling in love with this personalized A.I. do you think that this can meaningfully happen? It seems possible in another world we can see ourselves intertwined with the most high-tech artificial intelligence in a way that is satisfying emotionally (and probably physically) for us. Do you think that artificial intelligence has the possibility of actually having a meaningful loving relationship with us, in this world? What are the similarities and differences between Sinhababu’s work and Her? Remember to respond to 2-3 of your peers and discuss where you agree and disagree.
