write it as an outline (intro, thesis, body paragraph and conclusion) it doesn’t have to be that long.
These are the 6 fiction texts:

You can connect ANY ONE of the 6 texts (the 4 stories and 2 films) to ANY OTHER ONE of those 6 texts. use major themes, You CAN NOT talk about the same text more than once, so you will need to have a few different combinations in mind.
here are just my own examples
-CORPORATE CONTROL VS. CONSUMER CHOICE

-FANTASY VS. REALITY
-BURDEN OF REPRESENTATION

The assignment description is on 3314_A3_AssignDesc. My initial template paper is 3314_CalderonE_A1_12Sep24.
Paper 3314_CalderonE_A3_15Oct24 is what I had initially, and the Professor stated, “Your citations are done incorrectly, and the summaries do not provide enough information. Please review the APA guidelines and your proposal (A1) with my feedback and make corrections. Please summarize the findings. Also, see how to quote directly from the text. I have provided the examples for you.”

Activity 1-
define, in your own words “family systems” and explain how it relates to both “subsystems” and ‘suprasystems.'”
Next, describe your place within your family system. Are you part of a subsystem? Are you a member of a larger suprasystem?
Finally, what communication skills did you learn because of your place within your family system and how can reflecting on those skills help you to become a more effective communicator in other areas of your life?
Activity 2-
define, in your own words “passive aggression”.
Next, share an example of a time when you were engaged in an interpersonal conflict involving passive agressive behavior. Describe the conflict situation, as well as the passive aggressive behaviors the other person exhibited.
Finally, describe how you handled the conflict. Was your approach effective? Based on what you’ve learned from your textbook, which communication skills might help you manage this type of conflict more effectively in the future?

What:
A bibliography is simply a list of sources you’ve used in your research and writing that stand in support of claims you’ve made or as springboards into your own ideas: interviews, books, periodicals, Web sites, images, etc.–OH YEAH, I DON’T LIKE USING “ETC.” DO I?
An annotated bibliography is simply a Works Cited that may include summaries or evaluations of the sources you’ve listed. We’re using MLA (Click Me for Information on the New MLA), so we use the words “Works Cited” rather than “Bibliography” (that would be APA)—same idea, though.
The purpose of this assignment is twofold–1) to give you practice with research. 2) to expose you to a hot topic in education today–that’s right–ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (or “AI” as some like to call it).
Specifics for this assignment:
A. Come up with a thesis statement with the following guideline: explore an idea or a problem that is important and central to the following theme–artificial intelligence (AI) –and how you might reconsider it. Example: if you feel artificial intelligence is ok for college students to implement when writing summaries, explain why you feel this way.
Make sure your thesis statement has both a topic and a controlling idea stating why your argument matters.
B. Choose three sources that you might use to support your thesis, and write proper Works Cited entries–also called “citations”– (Click Me) for them. Click me, too, for an explanatory video.Two of your sources must be retrieved from the MVCC Library databases. One of these sources must be a peer reviewed scholarly source.
One Open Source. Your third source can be retrieved from a medium of your choice—BOOK, MAGAZINE, MOVIE, INTERVIEW, TED TALK, YOU TUBE CLIP, ONLINE, OR WHATEVER ELSE.

HOW?:
C. Underneath each separate source, create three bullet points: Bullet Point 1: provide a short narrative (I’m your audience this time around) on where and how you found the source. Be specific.
The point of this is for you to learn to conduct searches and reproduce them; that is, the sources you’ll use for this assignment don’t matter as much as the processes you’ll use to find them.Example: If you walk into the library and grab a magazine off the shelf randomly to fulfill your required open source, you’re missing the point–sure you can do that, but when it comes time for you to use the library systems to find specific information, chances are good you’ll be lost.
Check out the Links for Formatting and Citing in Module 6: Gig Economy Activity AND Annotated Bibliography MLA style (Fall 2024) in Modules–very useful.
Bullet Point 2: After the narrative on how you found the source, write a narrative on what you know about its credibility. Perhaps more importantly, tell me how you know about its credibility. That is, evaluate the source–Click Me (this link will take you to Purdue’s OWL Evaluating Sources of Information link).Bullet Point 3: After the narrative on the source’s credibility, write a short paragraph (say, 5 – 7 sentences if you really need a ballpark figure) that integrates and properly documents a paraphrase (Click Me, Too) OR a direct quotation (You May as Well Click Me, Too) from said source. Don’t overdo it—all I’m looking for with this paragraph is that you understand this next bit of information:Always, always, always observe these basic steps each time you integrate an outside source (quote, paraphrase, image, summary, chart, fact, etc.) into your own writing:
Lead into the information with your own voice; that is, introduce it to your audience.
Add the information
Respond to the information according to the controlling idea of your thesis with your reader in mind; that is, use it rather than simply reporting it.
Why:
We’re switching gears from writing personal essays to writing essays that incorporate outside texts, voices, and ideas into your own voice and style. However, the importance of you maintaining your voice cannot be stressed enough—you should not revert to the voiceless, robotic mode so often associated with research-based writing.
This assignment is a lower-stakes opportunity for you to practice finding, evaluating, integrating, documenting, and properly using outside information in your own writing.
You’re not writing an essay this time around; rather, you’re practicing techniques and ideas you’ll use when you are asked to write research-based papers for this class and otherwise.
The resources made available to you and your ability to navigate and understand them really are the biggest takeaways from this assignment.
CURIOUS COM 101 Student: “Yeah, Mr. A, we haven’t done anything like this in class before. Do you have any examples of how this assignment was done?”
Mr. A: “Yes, I have some samples of how this assignment has been done. They’re located in Module 6 under “Writing Samples (Previous Annotated Bib Projects).”
CURIOUS COM 101 Student: “Yeah, Mr. A, is there a rubric for this assignment?”
Mr. A: “This is the best I can give you as far as a point breakdown”:
Thesis Statement: 10 points
Citation 1: 30 points5 points for citation
5 points “How I found it?” paragraph
5 points for “credibility” paragraph
15 points for “integration” paragraph
Citation 2: 30 points (Same as Citation 1)
Citation 3: 30 points (Same as Citation 2)
Additional Information:
Do not write an essay.
Do not include more than the three required sources; if you do, I’ll only look at the first three.
Focus on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI).
There is no need for a cover page or reflection for this one. You can pay me later for that.
Submit your work to Canvas as a single document.
PLEASE ONLY USE SOURCES THAT ARE FROM THE LAST 10 YEARS–2014 to PRESENT. I PREFER RECENT MATERIAL.
“MUY IMPORTANTE” (THAT’S SPANISH FOR “VERY IMPORTANT.” I’M SHOWING MY BILINGUAL SKILLS OFF): THIS COULD SERVE AS A PILOT FOR WRITING PROJECT # 4, WHICH TACKLES A PROBLEM SOLVING THEME JUST LIKE THIS ONE–HINT, HINT, NUDGE, NUDGE.

Ironically, listening is more important to communication than speaking. Compose (write) a speech to give to a class that will discuss the process of effective listening. (Be sure to include the barriers that get in the way of effective listening as well as the tools that help to make certain that what one hears is what the speaker means). Length: 500-700 words.
