    Journal entry about being a school counselor

  • English Question

    Now that you’ve read David Wallace-Wells’s nonfiction journalistic analysis of scientific data to predict how climate change will impact humanity’s future and Octavia Butler’s fictional imagining of a climate-changed future set in modern-day Southern California, you can evaluate which elements from each book were most effective in:

    • informing and persuading readers about the current and predicted future impacts of climate change on humanity
    • arguing for particular approaches or solutions to climate change (both short-term and long-term) and
    • persuading readers that climate change is an urgent issue about which they should care

    Essay #2 Prompt: Using evidence (quotes) from each of the assigned textbooks, explain which genre (nonfiction, fiction, or some combination of both) is most effective in helping readers understand and care about climate change’s likely (predicted) impacts on humanity–both now and in the future.


    In my opinion, using a combination of nonfiction and fiction to portray climate change would help readers learn and care about climate change the most. Nonfiction tells the story of what is actually happening through scientific data, while fiction allows readers to feel what the future may feel like. this is my sample thesis

    Sample Thesis Options:

    • A sample thesis could look (meaning, it can look different) something like:
      • Nonfiction writing like David Wallace-Wells’s The Uninhabitable Earth is the most effective genre for helping readers understand and care about climate change’s predicted impacts on humanity because it educates readers with scientific evidence that is so shocking and compelling that it makes readers care about how climate change will affect them in the future. OR
      • Fiction writing like Octavia Butler’s Parable of the Sower is the most effective genre for helping readers understand and care about climate change’s predicted impacts on humanity because it uses scientific evidence to create the dystopian setting. However, following characters as they live through a climate-changed world is what truly helps readers care about climate change’s impacts because reader’s empathize with the characters through the use of pathos. OR
      • The most effective way to help readers understand and care about climate change’s likely impacts on humanity is to combine detailed analysis of scientific data in non-fiction writing with fictional writing that features well-developed characters and the effective use of pathos. The combination of information and emotion is the best way to reach and persuade readers.
    • With this prompt, your essay should have a specific and direct thesis that makes a clear argument in favor of a particular genre (or combination of them). Your body paragraphs should support your thesis with direct quotes from the textbooks.

  • English Question

    Test your knowledge with 50 educational MCQs for students. English + Roman Urdu mix style with correct answers included. Perfect for learning and revision.

    Requirements:

  • Analysis of Personal Beliefs and Biases

    Who are you? What do you believe? What cognitive biases do you have? These are big questions to answer, but necessary to consider before moving forward in your professional life.

    In a one- to two-page paper, consider the people and experiences that have shaped how you see yourself, how you see life, and, most importantly, how they have shaped your biases.

    • List and then describe a minimum of three things you believe to be true, such as the existence of God, right vs. wrong, morality, and what it means to be a good person.
    • Explain, in detail, how you acquired these beliefs (including the other people or experiences that have influenced you most), why these beliefs are important and how these beliefs will influence how you engage with people and policies in your future career. Do not simply say something like, I believe in doing the right thing because it is the right thing. You must really dig deep into your psyche and analyze your own perspective of the world; make your brain hurt!
    • Most importantly, discuss at least two cognitive biases discussed in Chapter 1 that you might be most subject to and why. Integrate these into your three beliefs and analyze the ways in which they shape you.

    There is no right or wrong answer to these questions, but your in-depth insight is important.

    Your paper must be in APA Style, typed, and proofread. You do not need an abstract or outside references for this paper.

  • The Impact of Major Sporting Events on Host Countries

    am working on a research-based argumentative essay about the impact of major sporting events (such as the World Cup and the Olympics) on host countries.

    I already have a finalized research question, planning pages, and some sources. I am looking for help with organizing my argument, checking the logic of my claims, suggesting stronger evidence, and editing for clarity, flow, and grammar.

    I will write the paper myself. I only need guidance, feedback, and revisions, not someone to write the assignment for me. The essay must follow an academic tone, use MLA citations, and clearly address counterarguments.

  • MUS 1030: Music Appreciation

    Writing Assignment 1: Bach, Beethoven, and Bugs Bunny?

    Description

    This is an NPR Weekend Edition Sunday story focusing on classical music in cartoons. Read the from NPR. Then, click on “Listen Now” in the top left corner to open the 9 minute program. Listen carefully to the interview — hopefully you will remember some of the examples.

    Assignment

    • Read the summary.
    • Click “Listen Now” in the top left corner to open the program.
    • Listen to the full 9-minute interview.
    • Respond to the following prompts.
    • Answer the prompts in your own words. Use specific examples from the audio and your personal experience. (Full credit requires references to the actual audio content.)
    1. Around 3-4 minutes into the interview, the guest mentions a specific cartoon scene involving a dramatic moment and a well-known classical piece. Identify the cartoon and piece. How does the music enhance the scene?
    2. The interview mentions “Ave Maria.” Which composers version is discussed, and what does the guest say about how it is used? Have you heard it before? Describe your reaction to hearing it in the interview.
    3. Describe a moment from your own childhood when you encountered classical music in a cartoon or show. What do you remember about it?
    4. In the interview, Robert Greenberg compares the dramatic effect of Fantasia’s final scene to watching The Wizard of Oz as a child. What do you think he meant by that? Do you agree with the comparison? Why or why not?
    5. Do you think children today are exposed to classical music as much as you were growing up? Support your answer with a personal example.
    6. What is your own experience with music (playing, reading, or listening)? How does this shape the way you relate to classical music in media?
    7. What genre of music do you connect with most, and why? Share a specific artist, piece, or performance that exemplifies your preference and explain why you chose that example.

    All answers should be written in proper formal style as an essay. This means that responses should be written in complete sentences with no spelling or grammatical errors, no vernacular speech or contractions, and all sources must be cited. Try to expand on your ideas as much as possible — one-word responses are never acceptable.

    Your submission must be:

    • Created in Microsoft Word and saved as a .doc, .docx, or .pdf file
    • Text should be black, double-spaced, and only in one font (preferably Times New Roman)
    • Your writing should be formatted as an essay and should NOT include the prompt questions or numbers

    When saving and submitting your writing assignments, please use the following naming convention:

    Lastname Firstname WA1.docx

    This example is obviously for Writing Assignment 1 [WA1], so change the number accordingly in subsequent assignments. The example is also for a recent version of Word that saves with a .docx file extension — .doc extensions from older versions of Word are fine too. .pdf extensions are acceptable as well, but please do not submit .odt or .rtf files — your word processing program should allow you to save as a .pdf. Do NOT use symbols (#,&,@, etc.) when creating filenames — this often makes files harder to open (and this applies in work settings as well; stick to letters, numbers, and spaces only).

    Please address all of the prompts in your response, but in paragraph form with appropriate transitions between ideas. Any response that requires your opinion on the music should be extensive; this is always the most important aspect of the assignment. Do not settle for a simple, surface-level answer; music is complex as are human feelings and reactions to it. You must work to articulate your ideas and opinions clearly and completely. You will not be graded based on your opinions — you will be graded based on your ability to communicate your ideas.

    Always remember that I cannot get inside your brain and experience directly what you are thinking or feeling. You must explain your opinions and thoughts so that I can start to understand them; just stating an opinion is never enough, I want to know more: How exactly did you arrive at this idea? How exactly does the music make you feel? Why do you feel this way? Why? Why? Why? Keep asking yourself these critical questions.

    Do not cut and paste any of your answer from another source, including using AI. Plagiarism includes any copying of the words, structure, or ideas of another author without clear citation of that source. If you use the ideas of another author, put these in your own words but still cite the source of the information. Use quotations sparingly and only in support of your response; you cannot use a large-scale quotation and consider this the entire response.

    Reminders:

    • All work for this course should be written in complete sentences with proper grammar and spelling. Use the spellcheck tool on your word processor.
    • Avoid accusations of plagiarism by citing every idea presented that is not your own using MLA style.
    • If you use a direct quote from a source, you must put this in quotation marks and cite the source at the end of the sentence. Use quotes sparingly and on a small scale; you should not quote entire paragraphs.
    • All work for this course must be done independently; there should be no group collaboration except through sharing ideas on the discussion boards. Assignment submissions must be original work.

In that same year, the United States of America exported $6.62 billion to Poland. The most popular are planes, helicopters, spaceships, Gas turbines, and crude petroleum (The Observatory of Economic Complexity, 2022).
        2. “The USA and Poland have signed a double taxation treaty and a bilateral treaty on business and economic relations, including an investor-state dispute mechanism.

        3. The United States Department of State declared that Poland belongs to the same amount of international organizations as the United States.
