While all writers go through a process in order to produce a finished product, not all writers are aware of this process. The writing process occurs in concrete activities (generative writing, drafting, reflecting) as well as in more incidental momentsthe ideas we have that pop into our heads as were eating dinner, walking to class, or just about to fall asleep. Writers also may be unaware of where their perspectives on writing come from (early schooling, past teachers, family, friends) and how those past experiences shape what they are able to do with writing. The Initial Writers Statement is an opportunity to begin to describe all of this to yourself and to me. ASSIGNMENT: For this assignment, you will be tasked with writing in the epistolary form.

  • Writing Question

    For this assessment, you will focus on how leaders encourage taking risks and pursuing opportunities. A lot can be told about a leader by the risks they take and the opportunities they seize.

    You will also explore how leaders promote collaboration and empower their people. How do you get people to work together for a shared vision? Is it a trick? A carrot and stick? Getting people to drink the Kool-Aid? There are many ways, but without giving others the power to act, a leader would end up doing everything themselves.

    You will be introduced to Kouzes and Posner’s (2023) final practices of effective leadership, which they call encouraging the heart. Effective leaders realize that employees should be recognized for a job well done.

    In this discussion topic, we will explore some resources that are designed to help students understand the concept of a literature review. Please browse these resources and then complete the discussion post below.

    • The article by Debora F.B. Leite, Maria Auxiliadora Soares Padilha, Jose G. Cecatti, “Approaching Literature Review for Academic Purposes: The Literature Review Checklist.” Please use this .
    • The tutorial from The University of North Carolina on writing literature reviews. You can find this link in Content/Learning Resources for this week.
    • The tutorial from UMGC’s Effective Writing Center on writing the literature review. You can find this link in Content/Learning Resources for this week.

    Task:

    After reviewing the material on writing the Literature Review posted above, please return to your annotated bibliography, or your last assignment, and begin developing “categories” to help you organize your sources. For the literature review, you will want to collect your sources into themes or categories. There are many ways to develop categories, including thematic, schools of thought, major authors, or chronological.

    Example: Say that my topic was on women and humor and I wanted to develop thematic categories for my literature review. I would gather current sources from authors researching on many aspects of the topic. However, as I read them over, I might discover that several of them discuss what women’s humor consists of, while others might talk about the difference between men’s humor and women’s humor, and still others might discuss the history of women’s humor. So, I would divide them up into categories: defining women’s humor, men’s humor versus women’s humor, and the history of women’s humor.

    Post one category based on your topic below and list at least three sources that might fill that category. Remember that some sources may fall into more than one category. Please post questions or concerns. Please respond generously to at least two of your classmates.

    Important!!! Initial discussion posts are due before 2359 (CET) on Saturdays. Responses to at least 2 classmates are due before 2359 (CET) on Tuesdays.

    Analysis Paper: Gender, Race, and Ethnicity in Sport Assignment

    The face of sports in America has changed dramatically over the past 50 years through the

    inclusion of women and athletes of color (African Americans, Latinos, and Asians) at all levels

    of participation. Where white males once dominated sport, the balance in many sports such as

    basketball and football has now shifted to dominance by black athletes. African Americans and

    Latinos have also both increased their representation in baseball.

    In addition, changes in American society in the last 50 years have dramatically altered the roles

    for women, but the quest for equalizing womens opportunity in sport is still short of its goal.

    While a few female athletes gained fame during the early 1900s (Babe Didrikson Zaharias in

    golf and Helen Wills Moody in tennis), sport opportunity for women did not change until the

    passage of Title IX in 1972.

    Despite the integration of athletes of all genders and races into sport, there are still challenges.

    With this in mind, and based on your sports interests and career goals, do you believe sport plays

    a positive role or a negative role in promoting diversity and equal opportunity based on gender

    and ethnicity? Describe pros and cons of each view and then decide which list is more powerful.

    Also, discuss additional strategies not listed in the textbook to eliminate sexism and racism in

    sport.
