Write: 
In your introductory paragraph,
Explain auteur theory in your own words and why this is a useful approach to the study of film.
Tip: review Chapter 8.3 in Film: From Watching to Seeing for a clear definition of auteur theory and why auteur theory is one useful approach to the study of film. Do you think the director is the sole owner of a film’s success or its failure?
Describe, using Chapter 8 of the text as a reference, the criteria for what makes a director an auteur.
Tip: review Chapter 8.3 in Film: From Watching to Seeing for a clear guide to Andrew Sarris’s criteria for auteur theory. Remember to evaluate specific examples from your chosen director’s films to decide whether or not they meet the criteria.
Identify a director who meets the criteria posed by auteur theory.
Example: you will identify one director and two of that director’s films: for instance, Sofia Coppola and her films The Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette.
Summarize briefly the ways in which this director meets the criteria using examples from at least two of the director’s films.
Example: you have evaluated specific examples from your chosen director’s films to decide whether or not they meet the criteria. Now, name those examples: costuming, mise-en-scène, light and color, actors, and dialogue.
Develop a thesis statement that focuses on how your chosen director and their films meet the criteria posed by auteur theory and advances the possibilities of storytelling through the medium of film.
Tip: visit the Writing a Thesis Statement resource from the UAGC Writing Center.
Example: In her films The Virgin Suicides and Marie Antoinette, Sofia Coppola demonstrates that she belongs among the list of auteurs for her elaborate costuming, consistent use of light and color, her reliance on actor Kirsten Dunst in the lead roles, and telling stories that focus on young women coming of age amidst formidable obstacles.
 
In the body of your paper (at least three paragraphs),
Apply the lens of auteur theory in breaking down the director’s technical competence, distinguishable personality, and interior meaning using specific examples of their work (e.g., particular scenes or plot components).
Tip: use at least one paragraph for each criteria (or two paragraphs for each criteria, one for your analysis of each of two films) to analyze specific techniques and themes that demonstrate how your director meets the three criteria of auteur theory.
Analyze the specific ways in which filmmaking techniques, consistent themes, and storytelling distinguish your chosen director as an auteur among their peers.
Example: the elaborate costumes in Coppola’s Marie Antoinette help to establish the period in which the film is set, and go beyond it by drawing particular attention to the extravagance and excess of Pre-revolutionary France. The ornate and colorful dresses worn by Kirsten Dunst’s Marie Antoinette allude to the equally colorful cakes, for which she is infamous, having said, “let them eat cake.”
Evaluate your chosen director’s ethos, that is what they have to say about complex social and cultural issues.
Tip: the ethos is the director’s characteristic spirit, evidenced by their beliefs and aspirations. A director’s ethos is directly connected to the type of stories they tell and what they intend to communicate in telling those stories.
 
In the conclusion of your paper,
Connect each element of your analysis to show how your chosen director meets the three criteria of auteur theory and what this director’s body of work has to say about social and cultural issues.
Tip: your conclusion should restate your thesis and remind the reader which specific examples demonstrate how your chosen director meets—or doesn’t meet—the criteria of auteur theory and remind us why auteur theory is a valuable tool for film analysis.

Review the policies identified in Week 2 to determine how they may help meet the needs of the Grand Challenges you have chosen. the uploaded attachment is how I started them. so please incorporate from here within the next two essays . week two has been done so please read and then go from there. make sure to have two separate essays when finished.
week 3＝Write a 700-word analysis of the policies, in which you:
Explain the components of the policies that align with the goals of the Grand Challenges.
Identify any gaps within the policies or areas of the policies that do not align with the Grand Challenges.
Determine what changes may need to be made to the policies to address these gaps.
Explain how these changes will help to advance human rights and social, economic, and environmental justice related to the Grand Challenges.
Format your analysis according to APA guidelines.Assignment Content. this paper will be included into the last paper.
week 4＝Last week, you analyzed social welfare policies and identified gaps and changes that needed to be made. In this assignment, you will build upon that work and create a social welfare policy proposal that includes those changes.
Consider the policies you have researched and analyzed for your identified social issues related to the Grand Challenges of Social Work.
Choose one of the social issues to examine further.
Consider the need for change in policy that you determined in your policy analysis assignment last week.
Create a social welfare policy that incorporates this change and will enhance social justice for your identified social issue.
Write a 1,400- word proposal to address the changes in policy that you would like implemented in which you:
Describe the characteristics, needs, and issues of the community or population you have identified.
Describe the identified policy that pertains to these characteristics, needs, and issues, including a brief history of the policy.

Describe how this policy or change in policy will enhance social justice initiatives.
Explain how this policy or change in policy will support the Grand Challenges of Social Work.
please keep the two essay separate as I need to turn in them both as two different assignments

create a simple interactive math application using Snap Berkeley
You are required to create an interactive learning application based specific subject area (math)
2. You are advised to use your own imagination to create the application.
application must include each of the following:
Interactive. The application must be interactive. Users must be able to interact with your application. Avoid making a lot of animation, where the user does not control the program.
Technical Requirements:
• Sprites – Your application must have multiple characters(sprites), not including any
sprites used to give instructions. Do not use Alonzo (BYOB), Cat (Scratch) or Turtle (Snap)
sprite. You need to create or edit at least ONE (1) sprite.
• Stage / Scene – Have more than TWO (2) a different background.
• Repetition – Your application must have at least TWO (2) loops with a variable other than
“forever” somewhere in the project.
• Decision Making – Your application must have at least TWO (2) “if” or “if-else” blocks.
It is compulsory to have nested if with a variable.
• Audio – Any number of sounds is fine; the MINIMUM is ONE. Note that sound is
important – if no one can hear it, no one will use your application.
• Data representation – Use appropriate blocks to enable the operation of variables or lists.
• Operators – Your application must consist of operators.
• Events – Use more than TWO (2) types of “event-handler”.
• Broadcast – Your application must consist of at least ONE broadcast message.
• Make a Block – Your application must consist of at least ONE custom block with
parameters and should be called accordingly. Additional Technical Requirements:
• Input Data – Your application can have some form of user interaction, even if the project overall is not interactive.
Bug free.
• Users must be able to operate all parts of the application without crashing or exhibiting unworkable behaviour or other hang-ups.
• Students should test every part of their application to be sure there are no bugs and that it is fully functional.
• Things to be consider
o Is it easy to play or use?

Introduction to Visual and Interactive Programming Group Assignments – Foundation
o Does everything work?
o Be alert to the problems that might be caused by unexpected user behaviour.
o Validation: When you ask the user a “Yes” or “No” question (y/n?) what will
happen if they press 9?
o User friendly: Include the instruction on how to operate your application.
The application should follow the RULES as below)
1. No vulgarism
2. No inappropriate graphics and contents
3. Relevant to the topic you have chosen.
4. Application must be fully working, properly terminated and no errors.
