ACROSTIC POETRY IS AN INNATE AND EXPRESSIVE WAY OF CONVEYING A MESSAGE.
Acrostic poetry is a form of short verse constructed so that the initial letters of each line taken consecutively form words. The term is derived from the Greek words akros, “at the end,” and stichos, “line.” The word acrostic was first applied to the prophecies of the Erythraean Sibyl, which were written on leaves and arranged so that the initial letters of the leaves always formed a word. Acrostics were common among the Greeks of the Alexandrine period and with the Latin playwrights Ennuis and Plautus. Medieval monks and poets also made this form of poetry popular during the Middle High German and Italian Renaissance periods.

Introduction: (the following information is what you should include in your introductory paragraph)
o Hook – Provide an interesting lead-in: a first sentence that will spark interest in your reader. You could include a fact or statistic here. Make sure the hook (first sentence in introduction) relates to the problem you are discussing.
o Provide a background – Think of the six journalistic questions when providing background for your exploratory essay. When thinking about the background of a problem/issue, consider the who, what, why, where, when and how of an issue (focus on which of these are most relevant to your issue/solution – you will not have room for all of them in this paragraph). Make sure what you discuss in your intro, regarding your problem, has to do with what you have in your thesis statement!!! Make sure to reference and give brief specifics about your solution!!
o In one or two sentences, lay out a position (reason) that supports your proposed solution and a position that opposes your proposed solution. In other words, who favors your solution/proposal and who opposes your solution/proposal.
o Provide a thesis statement that includes your 1) opposing view 2) proposal/solution 3) two reasons that support your solution/proposal

example 1 ( Melanie)
For nurses who have already achieved their Master’s Degree and are pursuing their next steps, two options are offered, DPN (Doctor of Nursing Practice or Ph.D. (Doctor of Philosophy in Nursing) (Bal, 2023). Both degrees are the highest degrees a nurse can achieve and offer a variety of opportunities within a chosen field. Though DPN and Ph.D. are both advanced degrees, they prepare nurses for different roles in the healthcare workforce (BAL, 2023). DNP programs focus on educating nurses who wish to become experts in the clinical field and assume leadership roles within the clinical setting (Bal, 2023). Ph.D. programs prepare nurses for academic or research positions, often assuming positions within an academic institution or research in a medical laboratory (Bal, 2023). DNP nurses may diagnose and treat patients, prescribe medication and order diagnostic testing (among other responsibilities), where as Ph.D. nurses may design and conduct research, write proposals and apply for grants and develop new nursing methods (among many)(Bal, 2023).
Advanced degrees in nursing opens limitless doors of career opportunities. An Adult Nurse Practitioner (ANP) is one of many positions that may be obtained with a DNP degree (Maryville University, 2024). Adult Nurse Practitioners care for patients in the adult age range group and focus care on preventative measures, and patients with acute or chronic conditions (Maryville). Adult Nurse Practitioners may provide a variety of primary care services including diagnosing and prescribing medications. Nurse Practitioners assess and treat patients in collaboration with other healthcare members. ANP may collaborate, delegate and supervise team members, act as advocates for patients and ensure and coordinate continuity of care.

Example 3 (chidimna)
The Doctor of nursing practice (DNP) is a terminal nursing degree that entitles nurses to advanced practice positions. DNP-prepared nurses are experts in their field and fully comprehend the complex medical needs of the patients they care for. They use this knowledge to improve patient outcomes and deliver top-notch treatment. They operate in a range of settings, including hospitals, clinics, long-term care institutions, and community health organizations, offering patients, families, and other healthcare professionals skilled treatment and advice. In addition to being crucial for the development and implementation of clinical practice standards, they are also crucial for the education and mentoring of other nurses. One of the main responsibilities of a DNP-prepared nurse is direct patient care, which includes the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of difficult medical conditions. They work collaboratively with other healthcare professionals to develop and implement individualized treatment plans for their patients, monitoring their progress and making adjustments as necessary. Additionally, they serve as an advocate for their patients, ensuring that all of their medical needs are met and that they receive the finest care possible (Beeber et al., 2019).

Step 2 Complete this Activity
Write a one-paragraph argument in which you take a position on the topic of whether a college education is a good investment. Fill out the template below:
Whether or not a college education is worth the money is a controversial topic. Some people believe
that _________________________________________________________________________________________________
—————————————————————————————————————————–.
Others challenge this position, claiming that ___________________________________________________________
————————————————————————————————————————–.
However, ___________________________________________________________________________________________

Although both sides of this issue have merit, it seems clear that a college education (is/is not) a worthwhile
investment because __________________________________________________________________________________

TOPIC: Implementing a Pet Friendly Workplace
Instructions: Review the instructions for Speech Assignment 3 below. Compose both a working outline and a speaking outline for your speech. Use the appropriate outline formats for both.
You may use any organizational pattern appropriate to your argument, except the motivated-sequence. (Your final speech requires the use of the motivated-sequence.)

I left the topic, necessary tips, and work sites for you. Regarding the work sites, I must say that I copied all the items for you because you do not have access to them.
Read the first draft assignment carefully! Read and re-read the assignment for the entire paper: This Module refers to the FIRST DRAFT. The final draft is more developed — READ.
Writing is a process.
Writing is rewriting.
With those ideas in mind, you will upload the FIRST DRAFT of the Informative Essay by the end of the week. We have chosen topics. We have worked on a thesis (narrowing your subject to something you can handle well in 1,200 words). It is now time to WRITE the paper. I will give you points for uploading and following directions. I am not your editor, so do not expect notes and corrections on the first draft. Get help on grammar and citing from a tutor!
Your sources are one eBook from the school databases and one website. (For the final draft next week, not using an eBook found through the school library databases will mean the paper gets a ZERO.) You don’t understand how to find eBooks? Talk to the tutors. Talk to the Librarians. Come to our Zoom meeting. (I do not teach through email.)
A first draft has a beginning, a middle, and an end. It is around 1,200 words, not including the Works Cited page. (Next week you should rewrite and make it better.)
For the first draft, you will do the following:
1 You will quote or paraphrase from your sources, but for this assignment, you are allowed to use a “signal phrase” to introduce a quote. Remember, paraphrases are YOUR words, but they get cited just like a quote.
2 At the end of the first draft, you will have a Work(s) Cited page to correspond to any in-text citation(s) in the paper (Points off for not doing so.)
You have to be proactive and responsible for learning, understanding, and following the rules of MLA. We have looked at Owl Purdue in class many times. It is now time to show that you can follow directions. Probably, it is a good idea to come to the Zoom meeting even though it is not mandatory.
Points off for being late. There is a shut down da
Once you hand in a first draft, you will have a week to re-write to improve the work and perfect the MLA. I am not your editor. You need to find help, if you need it. The library has websites on MLA. I have Modules on MLA. The library has tutors for checking essays. NetTutor Online is free and can help. Find help. Proofread. Perfect the MLA.
From grading the last paper, it is evident that many of you need help. I recommend getting help in our Zoom meeting. I expect college-level work. And you should expect that from yourself. Many students showed that they don’t know how to use the databases, and they don’t know how to cite. That will lead to failure in this class. I suggest getting help.

Read the written essay. Give constructive criticism to help better the essay. Give grammar, word choice, flow, punctuation feedback. Anything that would help. Peer review basically.

or this module, please do the following from the textbook in the Overview:
Part I from the exercises in 1.4 (1-15)Special Directions: Simply state whether the argument is valid and sound, valid but unsound, or invalid (hence unsound).
If you determine that the argument is valid, that means soundness is still in question (see textbook and PowerPoint as a reminder). When determining soundness in those cases, you may need to look a few things up to know whether the premises are actually true or false!
