  • Discussion week

    Length: approximately 750 words

    Drawing on at least two readings from this week, analyze how emotions such as love, pleasure, or desire become embedded in commodities, public rituals, or spectacles.

    In your response, you might consider:

    How historical processes (industrialization, migration, branding, colonialism) shape contemporary emotional cultures.

    How global cultural forms are localized in specific places.

    How public culture produces norms about what love, romance, or pleasure should look like.

    Important:

    Please put the readings into conversation with one another by referencing authors by name and working with specific concepts, terms, or frameworks from the texts. Use brief in-text citations (author and page number) when you refer to examples, arguments, or key moments in the readings. The goal is not to summarize everything, but to show conceptual engagement with the readings as scholarly sources.

    I will post 4 documents you can choose 2 of them.

    Requirements: 750 words

    To begin this assignment, compose your Journal 3 answering the following prompt:

    For most of us, our pets are practically family; I know mine are. Even if we don’t necessarily feel that deeply about them, they are, undoubtedly, a part of our lives. Pets can be a blessing and a curse. They lick us when we are sad, and, sometimes, they even cry with us. They jump all over us when we are happy, and they are always happy to see us! On the downside, they eat your stuff (my deaf one ate my brand new, $1800 couch), they destroy your yards (I was a pioneer in drought tolerant yards when the dogs turned my side yard to a dirt patch), and, typically, to add insult to injury, after they have destroyed something, they are sick and require a vet visit! Of course, the saddest part is that we are destined to outlive them, ugh!

    What is the point?

    Describe for me your favorite pet story. Tell me what type of animal, its name, and what happened. However, the story cannot end in the pet’s death! If you make me cry, I am giving you a 0 for this journal entry!

    Feel free to upload a pet picture just like I did above!

  • Writing Question

    Getting Started

    Senator Robert Stafford in 1978 presented an amendment with the goal of discouraging educational segregation of students with disabilities. This amendment made it a requirement for all public schools to ensure that students with disabilities have placements in the least restrictive appropriate educational settings. This amendment became a part of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EAHCA). It is now known as the least restrictive environment (LRE) mandate.

    As you collaborate with case conference members to develop your students IEPs you will be discussing and making decisions on LRE. Therefore, you will need to understand the purpose of the continuum of placements and standards for determining LRE.

    Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:

    • Support the continuum of placement and services for students with disabilities in least-restrictive environments.

    Standard(s) Alignment:

    • InTASC 9f,9o
    • ISTE 5a
    • CEC 1.1, 6.1
    • EIECSE 2.1, 2.2, 7.4

    Background Information

    IDEA states that students with disabilities are:

    …to the maximum extent appropriate, children with disabilities, including children in public or private institutions or other care facilities, are educated with children who are not disabled, and that special classes, separate schooling, or other removal of children with disabilities from the regular educational environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the disability is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily. (IDEA, 20 U.S.C. 8 1412)

    A students LRE is a very important discussion and decision for the case conference or IEP team. One of the reasons is IDEAs requirement for states to ensure that all students with disabilities in all schools (public, private, and other facilities) are in the least restrictive environment. Additional reasons involve appropriate education and impacting students learning outcomes.

    Your understanding of LRE is not only important for the successful completion of this assignment, but for your students futures.

    Instructions

    1. Download and view the .
    2. Read the following case scenario concerning LRE:
    3. Find a short video addressing the topic of LRE or an example of a student in an LRE setting. You may use the YouTube website for videos.
    4. Design a document, graphic, or presentation explaining LRE. You may create a PowerPoint, a flyer, or a pamphlet. Make sure to utilize and connect the information from the course readings as well as from the video that you selected using APA format and at least one citation. Include the following:
      1. Provide an overview of the video you watched and the web address for the instructor.
        • Provide an alignment between the content of the video, IDEA, and LRE.
      2. Explain LRE and the continuum of placements in the document, graphic, or presentation.
        • Explain the benefits for students with and without disabilities.
        • Explain the impact on schools and other personnel.
        • Communicate your support for the continuum of placement and LRE.
    5. Review the rubric to make sure you understand the criteria for earning your grade.
    6. When you are finished, submit your work to the 6.2 assignment link by the end of the workshop.

  • Writing Question

    Documentary Analysis: Overview

    For this essay, you will watch one of the documentaries listed below and analyze it through the lens of stereotypes and Stuart Hall’s theoretical framework. Specifically, you will explore Hall’s claim that difference “can be threatening, a site of danger, of negative feelings, of splitting, hostility, and aggression toward the other” (228).

    Documentary Options (choose ONE):

    • Latinos Beyond Reel: Challenging a Media Stereotype, abridged version (2012)
    • Reel Bad Arabs: How Hollywood Vilifies a People (2006)
    • Ethnic Notions: African-American Stereotypes and Prejudice (1987)

    All of these documentaries can be found in Kanopy, a streaming service available through the UO library website.

    Content Warning: Ethnic Notions is an important documentary made by the late filmmaker Marlon Riggs, but it includes racist and violent images and songs that are often difficult to view/hear.

    Analysis Requirements

    Your essay should accomplish the following:

    1) Analyze Stereotypes Through Hall’s Framework

    Use specific examples from the documentary to explore how stereotypes operate as sites of danger, negative feelings, splitting, hostility, and aggression toward “the other.” Connect the documentary’s analysis to Hall’s theoretical concepts about representation and difference.

    2) Integrate Course Readings

    Reference at least three class readings total:

    • Stuart Hall’s “The Spectacle of the ‘Other’” (required)
    • At least two additional class readings

    When citing readings, engage with specific arguments, concepts, or passages (don’t simply mention that you consulted a source). Use direct quotes or detailed paraphrases that demonstrate your understanding of the theoretical frameworks.

    3) Connect to Contemporary Media

    Discuss whether the stereotypes examined in the documentary continue to shape our society today. Provide specific contemporary examples:

    • Where and in what form do we still see these stereotypes? (Name specific films, TV shows, news coverage, social media trends, or other media examples from the past 5 years)
    • Where and in what form are these stereotypes being challenged? (Provide specific examples of counter-narratives, diverse representation, or activist movements)

    Evidence Requirements

    From the Documentary

    You must provide specific, detailed examples including:

    • Timestamps or detailed scene descriptions (e.g., “at 23:30, the documentary shows a montage of…”)
    • Specific film clips or media examples analyzed in the documentary (name the films, TV shows, or media texts discussed)
    • Particular interviewees or scholars quoted in the documentary (include their names and credentials when mentioned)
    • Specific stereotype categories identified in the documentary (e.g., “the Latin lover,” “the terrorist,” “the mammy”)
    • Exact quotes from the documentary’s narration or interviews
    • Historical periods or contexts discussed in the documentary

    For each major analytical point, reference at least one specific moment from the documentary with this level of detail.

    From Hall’s “The Spectacle of the ‘Other’”

    Engage directly with Hall’s theoretical concepts. This might include:

    • His discussion of “naturalization” and how stereotypes fix difference
    • The concept of “racialized regime of representation”
    • The relationship between power and representation
    • Strategies for contesting racialized representation (reversal, substitution, etc.)

    Include at least one idea from Hall’s chapter that was not discussed in lecture and explain how it illuminates what you’re seeing in the documentary.

    From Contemporary Media:

    When discussing current stereotypes or challenges to them, be specific:

    • Name actual films, TV shows, or media products (e.g., Crazy Rich Asians, Black Panther, Reservation Dogs, Ramy)
    • Reference specific creators, actors, or movements (e.g., #OscarsSoWhite, specific directors or writers)
    • Cite news coverage, social media campaigns, or cultural moments with dates
    • Describe specific scenes or representations that either perpetuate or challenge the stereotypes from the documentary

    Avoid vague statements like “we still see these stereotypes in the media today” or “some shows are challenging stereotypes.” Ground your analysis in verifiable, specific examples.

    Documentary Citation Guidelines

    When referencing the documentary, use this approach or a direct time stamp:

    “At approximately 15 minutes into Ethnic Notions, the documentary presents a sequence of ‘mammy’ figures from films including Gone with the Wind, showing how this stereotype functions as what Hall calls a ‘racialized regime of representation’ that naturalizes Black women’s servitude.”

    Required Elements

    Be specific in your analysis. For the documentary, this means citing particular moments with timestamps or detailed descriptions, naming the media examples analyzed, and quoting interviewees or narration. For readings, this means engaging with authors’ specific arguments using direct quotes or detailed paraphrases.

    Provide a brief (one paragraph) overview of your chosen documentary early in your essay for readers unfamiliar with it. Include the documentary’s title, release year, and main focus.

    There are no correct or incorrect interpretations. Instead, you will be graded on your ability to work with class concepts and present evidence to back up your arguments.

    Viewing Process

    As you watch the documentary, take detailed notes including:

    • Timestamps of key moments you may want to analyze
    • Names of films, TV shows, or media examples discussed
    • Names of scholars or interviewees and their key points
    • Specific stereotype categories identified
    • Historical contexts provided

    Keep these notesyou may be asked to reference them or discuss specific moments during class discussion.

    Essay Structure

    While you have flexibility in how you structure your essay, you might consider this structure:

    1. Introduction: Introduce your chosen documentary and Hall’s key concept about difference as threatening
    2. Documentary Analysis: Analyze specific stereotypes using examples from the documentary and Hall’s framework (plus other readings)
    3. Contemporary Analysis: Discuss where these stereotypes persist and where they’re being challenged, using specific current examples
    4. Conclusion: Reflect on what this analysis reveals about representation, power, and change

    Formatting Requirements

    • Your essay should be at least 1,200 words
    • It should be typed in 12-point, Times New Roman font, double-spaced, with 1-inch margins
    • It should have a title
    • The word count (minus your works-cited page) should appear in the header
    • Cite any readings, websites, and films you consult using a standard citation style (e.g., MLA, Chicago Style, or APA) and include a works cited page at the end of the document
    • When citing the documentary, include the title, director, year, and timestamp if possible

    Grading

  • Peer Review

    Each module begins with a Concept in Action activity. These informal activities introduce key rhetorical concepts and discuss how they can be applied in your writing in and outside of class. To complete the activity, open a Google or Word doc and follow along with each prompt – starting with Exercise 01. This is a space to get messy with learning as you build your understanding of key rhetorical concepts. You will be graded based on completion of the activity.

    Concept in Action: Why Peer Review Matters

    Peer review isnt just a classroom routine or a box to check. Its a powerful tool for learning, collaboration, and growth. When we approach it with the right mindset, peer review helps us become more reflective writers, more thoughtful readers, and better communicators. At its core, peer review is about mutual support: we help each other improve, and in the process, we improve ourselves.

    Exercise 01: Free Write on Peer Review Experiences

    Take 35 minutes to reflect on the following:

    • What comes to mind when you hear the term “peer review”?
    • Have your past peer review experiences been helpful, frustrating, or confusing? Why?
    • What would make peer review feel more useful or meaningful for you?

    Peer Review Matters

    Writing is a social activity. No matter how experienced you are, you need readers to understand how your writing is working. Peer review gives you a chance to hear from those readers while you still have time to revise.

    Scholar Bill Hart-Davidson calls this “giver’s gain”: when you give helpful feedback, you also improve your own understanding of writing. Melissa Meeks explains it this way: What you read, you too can imitate; what you detect, you too can correct; what you explain, you too can retain; what you suggest, you too can try.”

    Writing scholar Peter Elbow also reminds us that feedback is most useful when it comes from a place of appreciation. When we read generously, we respond more effectively.

    Peer review is also a chance to practice durable skills that matter far beyond the classroom:

    • Empathy: Trying to understand your peers goals.
    • Critical Thinking: Evaluating what works and what needs clarity.
    • Communication: Expressing feedback clearly and kindly.
    • Adaptability: Tailoring your review to different assignments and stages.
    • Reflective Thinking: Learning from others and applying feedback to your own growth.

    Exercise 02: Characteristics of Effective Feedback

    Adaptability + Strategic Thinking

    Effective feedback is tailored to fit the assignment, the writers stage, and their goals. This builds the same flexible thinking needed in collaborative work environments.

    Focus Your Comments

    Dont try to comment on everything. Choose two or three key areas to focus onlike the clarity of the thesis, the strength of the argument, or organization. Avoid grammar corrections unless they significantly affect meaning.

    Use a Supportive Tone

    Write like yourselfkind, honest, and respectful. Straub reminds us to sound like readers who care about helping, not critics looking for errors.

    Be Specific and Complete

    Short comments like awkward or unclear arent helpful on their own. Explain what you mean and offer a suggestion. Use full sentences to share your understanding of what the writer is trying to do.

    Clarity + Constructive Feedback

    Saying what works and what needs improvementclearly and with examplesis a habit that makes feedback more useful, whether youre editing, writing, or reviewing a product design.

    Balance Praise and Suggestions

    A good review includes both. Straub encourages us to praise whats working while also pointing out what could be stronger. If a draft still needs a lot of work, focus on a few high-impact suggestions. And when something is effective, say so!

    Collaborative Communication

    When you acknowledge whats working while offering thoughtful suggestions, you show that youre engaging with your peer as a partner in learningnot just as a critic.

    Writing scholar Peter Elbow suggests that readers help writers most by being genuinely appreciative. When we read with generosity, were more likely to offer helpful, encouraging feedback.

    Exercise 03: Using Peer Review in this Class

    Richard Straubs article “RespondingReally Responding to Other Students’ Writing” reminds us not to act like teachers, but to respond like thoughtful readers. Heres how to do that:

    Set Clear Goals

    Start by knowing what youre aiming for. Your main goal is to help your peer grow as a writer. You might also have personal goalslike getting better at giving feedback or deepening your understanding of the assignment.

    Understand the Context

    Look at the assignment, the draft, and where your classmate is in the writing process. Use the rubric to guide your review, and pay attention to any specific questions or comment requests from your peer.

    The Describe-Evaluate-Suggest (DES) Method

    The DescribeEvaluateSuggest method, developed by Eli Review, is a structured way to give useful feedback. It helps you slow down and focus your comments.

    DES Method and ExamplesMethodExampleDescribe: Say what you see.”This paragraph introduces your personal story and sets a reflective tone.”Evaluate: Say how well it works.”This aligns well with the assignments requirement to reflect on writing identity.”Suggest: Offer a specific improvement.”You could connect this experience more clearly to your current writing habits.”

    This structure encourages you to focus on one moment in the draft, rather than jumping from sentence to sentence. It makes your feedback clearer and more actionable.

    Exercise 04: Peer Review Outside of Class

    Peer review isnt limited to school. Anytime you give or receive feedbackon a work project, a social media post, a presentation, or even a textyoure practicing peer review principles.

    Whether youre reviewing a coworkers proposal or asking a friend to proofread your email, thoughtful feedback helps improve communication. In fact, this courseand this very textwas peer reviewed by several people using these same principles.

    Durable Skill Spotlight: Communication + Professionalism

    Whether youre reviewing a rsum, a proposal, or a social media post, peer review shows up in everyday interactions. When you apply the same valuesclarity, respect, honestyyou show professionalism and build stronger relationships.

The evidence from the Evidence section of your paragraph should come from the source you located on your topic.
