Presentation guidelines Your presentation should provide an overview of the content of your final paper. Therefore, as you work on your presentation, please pay careful attention to the guidelines under “Final paper” in the Content section. Like your final paper, it should make a persuasive case for a thesis. Length: 5-7 minutes. This will allow some time for questions and comments, as well as time for the next presenter to set up. (I’m figuring on 12 minutes max between the start of one presentation and the next.) Document format: PowerPoint, Google Slides or PDF. Delivery format: Either in person or pre-recorded. If you pre-record, your face should not obscure any important information on the slides. Grading: You will be graded on three elements that each count equally: Content: Includes an introduction and conclusion Presents key information about: The building Its design Its architect(s) Its history since it was first erected Makes a persuasive argument that this building is an important and distinctive element of the cultural heritage and built environment of the city of Chicago Document (slides): Contains suitable, suitably-sized, non-blurry illustrations that serve a clear purpose Contains readable text that supports what you are saying and does not substitute what you are saying Is virtually free of grammatical and spelling errors Exhibits a unified, visually pleasing style and arrangement of text and images Delivery: Clear, fluent, understandable Speaking, not reading Addressing the audience, not the screen Drawing attention, at the appropriate moment, to what is important in the illustrations A research project on a specific Chicago building, which should include at least the following: a description of the architectural and engineering features of the building; a history of the building, its uses and its owners; a biography of the architect(s) and/or a history of the architectural firm responsible for its design its broader place in architectural history; captioned illustrations (preferably including photographs you have taken); and your assessment of its value as part of Chicago’s heritage. Let me expand on this. Your aim is write a paper with a thesis and an argument. You should not simply provide the above information about the building. You should use that information to persuade the reader that this building is an important and distinctive element of the cultural heritage and built environment of the city of Chicago for reasons a, b, c, . . . . So, after gathering the information (listed in the bulletpoints above and also in your original proposal), figure out what your argument is going to be. The value of the building could lie in its place in Chicago history. It could be a first (or a last!). It could be a distinctive example of a significant architectural style. It could be an example of engineering or architectural innovation. It could be a prime example of the work of a an important architect or storied architectural firm. It could be one of a kind. Or it could be all or many of the above! Then, lay out that information in such a way that the reader will be able to follow your argument for the importance of this building. (Remember: A research paper is not a research summary; it is not one darn thing after another; all the bits should build to a clear conclucion, maybe one that makes your reader say, “I wanna go see this for myself” or “No way are they gonna tear this down!”) Wordcount: Minimum of 2,000 words (not counting documentation). First draft: Contrary to what it says in the syllabus, there will be no required first draft. (So, the total points for the quarter will be 180, not 200.) If you wish to receive my comments on an ungraded first draft, please submit it by noon, Friday, March 15. Illustrations: You are required to provide Illustrations. These should be chosen to support your argument. They could be images you’ve gathered; they could be images you’ve made. The source of the images should be credited. Sources: Your paper should have at least four sources (besides any photos). They should include at least one book and at least one article published in a scholarly journal. If you have trouble finding a book, as I stated in an earlier email, think creatively! I would be very surprised if there were a book devoted solely to one of these buildings. However, since you are asked to write not just the individual building, but its architect, its style, its history, etc., you should easily be able to find a book and an article about, e.g., the Chicago School or Art Deco or Post-Modernism. Likewise, you should be able to find suitable writings by or about, say, Louis Sullivan or Daniel Burnham or Jeanne Gang. An easy way to find scholarly articles is to consult the library databases or use scholar.google.com. A better way to find sources is to consult with a reference librarian; see the top righthand corner of the library homepage at library.depaul.edu. Format: Double-spaced; Times New Roman typeface; 12-point font; one-inch margins; page numbers in the margin; your name, your paper’s title, the course title, the professor’s name and the date submitted at the top of the first page. Citation: Your citations should be complete and properly formatted. (A URL all by itself is not a citation!) There are many citation styles; two of the common are MLA and APA. I suggest that, unless you are very familiar with another style, you choose one of these. The library’s Research 101 website has a page that helps you with citation: libguides.depaul.edu/research101/research101-cite-sources. I will also be providing a set of examples of bibliographic entries in both MLA and APA style. Writing for an audience: Your professors are paid to read what you write. However, I urge you, as you sit down to write, to think: What if the person reading my paper has the option of tossing it out before reaching the end? Strive to write in a lively, clear, understandable, organized way so that your reader – a boss, a roomie, a sibling, an aunt, . . . – is going to want to to read all the way through and will be persuaded of the correctness of your thesis. Maybe imagine that the readers of this paper are in a position – now or in 20 or 50 years – to decide whether to preserve or demolish the structure you are writing about. (Hopefully, you want them to preserve it!)

Select two (2) Chicago buildings that enable you to tell the story of Chicago. The two buildings should speak in the first person. E.g., “I am the Water Tower, built in … by …. I am a Chicago landmark because I survived the Great Fire. Let me tell you how Michigan Avenue has changed in the last 150 years.” OR “I am the Thompson Center, built in … by …. I was pretty controversial when I was built because I represented something new…” OR “Today I am a Target, but I didn’t start out that way…” OR even “Today I am the DePaul Center, but I didn’t start out that way …” Guidelines: 500-600 words (make sure you identify the year built, the architect, and briefly the style or architectural features); at least one photo of the building.

Create 10-12 steps on how to read a architect scale on a word document. The main purpose of this assignment is to give you practice in writing instructions, one of the most common kinds of technical communication you will do in the workplace and in your day-to-day life. Some common reasons for writing instructions include Specifying details of technical activities, Describing office procedures, Preparing training manuals, Explaining how to operate computer programs, etc. An important aspect of writing instructions is using graphics and design: good instructions contain graphics and are designed to be easy to read and understand. Therefore, another important purpose of this assignment is to improve your skills in the visual dimension of technical communication. Topic You work in a field related to your major or a field of your interest and your supervisor asks you to create instructions for something you do daily at work. The audience of the instructions is entry-level interns majoring in that field but who have no experience with the job or any specialized tools it requires. Your instructions should describe a simple, easily-conducted process related to your major. Select something for which you could write around 10-12 steps at the most. Avoid illegal, unethical, and potentially dangerous topics, but try to find something interesting. Topics you cannot choose: recipes, CPR procedure, changing car engine oil. Your audience is a non-specialist audience. Assume that your user is completely ignorant of the task at hand. I want to see you think through everything involved, even with a simple topic, and be very clear. Deliverables (3) 1. Select your topic Topic- “How to read a architect scale” 2. A complete set of instructions. Instructions must be submitted as a Microsoft Word document. A complete instruction set will include the following parts: Title page Descriptive title. Author’s (your) full name. Table of contents, auto-generated in Word. Here is a tutorial for it: MS Word Table of Contents Brief introduction (“Indicate the specific tasks or procedures to be explained as well as the scope of coverage (what won’t be covered). Indicate what the audience needs in terms of knowledge and background to understand the instructions. Specify the age range of the audience here. Give a general idea of the procedure and what it accomplishes. Indicate how much time may be necessary to complete the task or procedure. Indicate the conditions when these instructions should (or should not) be used.”) Technical definition and description To write this, follow the advice given in the textbook found here. Cautions and safety information (include ANSI- or ISO-compliant safety information, as appropriate). For digital/electronic tasks/procedures, include precautions regarding loss of data, viruses, cybersecurity, etc. if applicable. Parts/equipment list “These typically are listed either in a simple vertical list or in a two-column list. Use the two-column list if you need to add specifications to some or all of the items—for example, brand names, sizes, amounts, types, model numbers, and so on Writing the steps of the instructions. Start each step with an action verb. Use imperative voice and simple language. Each step should contain 2-3 sentences each. Write 10 such steps at least. Be consistent, define each action with the same verb. It is okay to use the same verb multiple times. Number each step; you can use a two-level numbering system (1.1, 1.2, 1.3, etc.). Do not use letters (a, b, c etc.) or Roman numbers (I, II, III, etc.). Graphics/photos You must include visual elements, and they must be created by you (whether it’s a photo or a graphic). I will not accept any submissions with images from the Internet. Each step requires an image. Images should be bright, clear, and captioned. Each image should correspond to its step. Images should not overwhelm the document; written instructions should be the focus of the document. Show the readers what the end product looks like either at the end or at the start of the document. Conclusion with a feedback statement “A conclusion ties the process up neatly; offers troubleshooting information (i.e. what to do if something went wrong); includes your contact information.” Any relevant back matter List of references, a glossary or appendix, an index, or technical specifications if applicable.
