This week you will write a short paper about rhetoric and the labor movement.

Prompt

Specifically, in the paper you will address the following question:

How did leaders use rhetoric to motivate their followers and shape worker identity in the American labor movement?

Components

In your paper, describe the identity of workers articulated/suggested by speakers and explain how the movement speeches you read thus far have contributed to that identity. You should identify key characteristics of workers in the American Labor movement.

While no outside research is required, you do need to draw on the readings assigned for this class to support your claims.

Your response should be 600-800 words (approximately 3 pages double spaced in 12 pt. Times New Roman font with 1-inch margins). Use the APA style guide to cite sources. Provide a bibliography citing the sources you used and be sure to use parenthetical or footnote citations in the text.

Analysis (40 points)

• Identifies key characteristics of workers in the American Labor movement in describing the identity of workers (20 points)
• Explains the rhetorical choices the leaders have used in the movement speeches you read thus far and considers how those have contributed to that identity (20 points)

This week’s WTE assignment can be found on pages 138 – 145 of your textbook. This assignment focuses on the Zenger Trial.

Instructions

1. Identify the question(s) being asked. Each WTE assignment asks you to consider an overarching question and supporting questions. They are typically located under the Your Turn heading. Keep these questions in mind during Step 2. To access the WTE and sources online:
   1. Go to the module reading assignment. Click the assignment to open, and then load in a new tab. On the left hand side, click on “Table of Contents” and then click “Open full eBook.”
   2. Locate the correct chapter at left and click the right arrow to expand the chapter contents. Scroll to the bottom and click on “Weighing the Evidence” to begin reading the key context and provided sources.
2. Prepare and Assess: After reading the associated chapter and using the related lecture(s) for context, read the primary evidence provided in your textbook.
   • Use the questions listed after each document to guide your assessment of each individual document.
   • Decide how each document addresses the larger question.
   • No outside sources or research is necessary. All the necessary documents are provided for you.
3. Organize and Outline: Organize your analysis of each document by placing the documents into categories or groups based on how each one addresses the larger question(s). Outline your paper to organize your evidence. Your essay should include:
   • an introduction with a thesis statement,
   • evidence in support of your position,
   • acknowledgement of the alternative position, and
   • a conclusion which summarizes your position.
4. Write: Write a brief paper of no more than 750 words (about two pages). Your final paper must:
   • Have a clear thesis statement which communicates your response to the question(s) asked.
   • Include specific, cited evidence.
     • Evidence does NOT mean using only direct quotations. Summary is welcome and demonstrates a greater understanding of the document contents. Summarize the document information for your evidence when possible.
     • Any information from the provided sources should be cited immediately after use. You can cite the individual documents simply by identifying their evidence number and page number in parentheses. Example citation: (Document 13.2, 610)
   • Be well-organized and coherent. Your writing should be purposeful and succinct. Avoid tangents and unnecessary filler words.

• • Be original. Your paper should reflect your own analysis and conclusions. Using AI or online essay generators to complete this assignment violates the Code of Academic Integrity and can have serious consequences.

General Reminders

2. Be Concise: Stick to the point and avoid unnecessary elaboration. Do not use excessive quotations from the documents. Summarize where possible.
3. Be Specific: Generalizations are not helpful. The more specific your answer and your evidence, the more convincing it will be.
4. Stay On Topic: Going off on a tangent can be easy. Always bring your answer back to what is directly relevant.
5. Check Your Grammar and Spelling: Small errors can significantly impact how your answer is received. Proofread your work carefully.
6. Review and Revise: If time allows, set your answers aside for a short period and then review them with fresh eyes for any errors or areas for improvement.

Objective:

Demonstrate your understanding of bacterial anatomy and physiology by designing an original bacterium, showcasing its structures and explaining how they help it survive.

Instructions:

1. Draw or digitally create an original bacterium that includes at least five key features discussed in Chapter 21 (e.g., flagella, capsule, endospore, plasmid, cell wall, fimbriae, etc.).

• You may use hand-drawing, digital design tools (like Canva or PowerPoint), or even a 3D craft using home materials.

1. Label all parts clearly on your drawing/model.
2. Write a brief description (150250 words) that:

• Names your bacterium (get creative!).
• Describes how each of the 5+ features contributes to its survival, reproduction, or pathogenicity.
• Mentions where your bacterium lives (environmental niche or host).
• Indicates whether it’s gram-positive or gram-negative and explains why.

Unit Outcomes addressed in this assignment:

• Discuss unique challenges and safety considerations for clients with neurological and mental health conditions.
• Recommend safe activity levels and program modifications for these populations.
• Explain how exercise serves as an intervention for symptom management and well-being.

Course Outcome addressed in this assignment:

EF310-3: Modify exercise programs for selected health conditions relevant to exercise and fitness programming.Exercise offers significant benefits for individuals with neurological and mental health conditions, serving as a powerful tool for symptom management and improved well-being. However, developing effective exercise programs for these special populations requires a deep understanding of the unique challenges, risks, and limitations involved to ensure safe and successful outcomes. This assignment will explore these topics in depth by having you research a specific condition and develop appropriate exercise modifications.For this assignment, you will select one of the following special populations and write a 3-page research paper. Your paper should explore the condition’s current trends, associated risk factors, and underlying pathologies. You will then describe how an exercise program should be modified to safely and effectively accommodate an individual with that condition.

• Cardiovascular Disease
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Neurological Conditions
• Mental Health

Choose one of the five special population conditions listed above. Your paper must address the following four key areas for your chosen condition.

• Overview and Current Trends: Include an accurate overview and most recent trends and statistics of your chosen condition in the context of physical activity or health. Be sure to communicate the relationship between the condition and physical activity.
• Risk Factors: Outline the specific, primary risk factors (e.g., genetic, lifestyle, environmental) associated with the development of this condition? You must support your information with at least one reputable source.
• Challenges & Limitations: Explain at least three unique challenges or limitations (physical or psychological) associated with this condition that a fitness professional must be aware of when designing an exercise program.
• Underlying Pathologies: Accurately describe the key physiological and biological mechanisms, or pathologies, that define this condition and contribute to the challenges and limitations you’ve identified. You must support your information with at least one reputable source.
• Exercise Modifications: Based on your research of the condition’s challenges and limitations, identify three distinct and specific exercises or movements. Explain how each can be adapted to safely and effectively accommodate an individual with this condition. Specifically, how do these modifications differ from what you would recommend for the general population?

Submission Requirements:
