Revise your interpretive essay draft to engage peer sources
Start by thinking about your inquiry/argument and the inquiries/arguments of your two peers. Where do they intersect and overlap? Where is there agreement and where is there disagreement? Where is that agreement and disagreement rooted? What do your various arguments have to say to one another? The aim for this essay is to make an interpretive argument in relation to the interpretive arguments of others, so try to get a sense of where your peers stand in relation to each other and where you stand in relation to them. In case it helps, I have provided a few student samples, though they are not perfect.
Then, think about how you’ll want to arrange your essay. You’ll need to summarize the perspectives of your peers, and you’ll need to explain how those perspectives are relevant to your interpretive question; where will those sections go? And you’ll want to include your own analysis; where will that work best?
Note: There are many effective ways to organize of this essay, though simply adding your peer perspectives to the end won’t really work because it will seem as though you’d already come to a conclusion before examining the work of your sources. Instead, try to integrate the work with peer sources so that the draft has a smooth, organic “flow.”
Then, revise your initial interpretive essay draft so that it grows from a central research question, explains what your peer sources might say in response to that question (in detail!), evaluates the strength and weaknesses of their perspectives, and that then draws on your own analysis of the text and your evaluation of peers’ arguments to make an argument of your own.
Be sure to cite your peers’ work and the primary text, “Go Carolina,” according to MLA format for in-text citationsAlso in academic writing, in which the goal is to articulate a claim in relation to the claims of others, we often use “I” when evaluating sources’ perspectives and comparing/contrasting them with our own, so don’t be afraid to say things like, “Whereas [Source A] believes the text is about _____, I argue that it is instead about ______.”
Once you’re finished, go over the draft to make sure that it’s well-polished, flows well, and is grammatically correct.
i will send you my interpretive essay and then i will send my two friends essay and you need to use the other two essay find inquires as stated above .
keep in mind that the point of this unit is not about writing interpretive essays, but about working with scholarly sources, so you’re meant to treat your peer essays just as you would any scholarly source.
Here are some tips for success:
Introduce your peer sources formally, giving their full names and the titles of their essays (after that, refer to your peers by their last names)
Summarize their arguments in *detail* (using phrases like, “so-and-so argues…”)
Quote and paraphrase them and use proper citation as you do so
Explain what you think of your peers’ arguments and your perspective in relation to them (it’s okay and even recommended to use “I”)
In a nutshell, the draft you turn in should pose an interpretive question, explain what your peers (your sources) would say in response to that question, and then make your own argument in relation to the arguments of your peer sources.
Also, consider your readers to be people outside of this class, which means you will have to introduce and summarize “Go Carolina” as well.
I hope this helps, and good luck!

Write a 2-3 paragraph response essay about the article.
Topics *could* include (but are not limited to): what information you found interesting, what information did you find helpful in understanding the Social Construction of Race, was there anything you might have found confusing. Did this article help to deepen your understanding of how race and racisms have been created and nurtured in this country? Did it anger you? Did it interest you? Was it a hard/easy read? Did the reading guide help? Did it make you think of anything else you have learned in this or another class? Something else entirely?
This is the article: Race: The Power of an Illusion (racepowerofanillusion.org)

Theories and models ground teaching practice in empirical research and tested experiences. As a technology coach and classroom teacher, you can use theory to apply technology purposefully to meet instructional challenges.
Read “Theories, Models, Frameworks, and Strategies.” Imagine you have been asked to conduct a professional development session about design theories and models that can be applied to instructional technology and promote learning in the digital environment. Create an 8-10 slide digital presentation for a staff development session for teachers who represent the grade level where you are most interested in working.
Select two learning theories and two instructional design models that will be the basis of your research and presentation.
The presentation should address the following:
Explain each theory and model and how it relates to instructional practice when using technology. Include specific, real-world examples to illustrate your ideas.
Provide 2-3 examples of specific frameworks or instructional strategies that are relevant to each model and include a rationale why each supports learning in the digital environment.
Title slide, reference slide, and speaker notes.
Support your presentation with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
The digital presentation should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.

Item 1 of the Portfolio: Report on the Communication in My Field of Study (due in week 2)
For this assignment you will complete a form, providing information about 4 things:
The program (discipline) you are studying (examples: Intelligence Studies or Criminal Justice).
Some ways you learned about folks in your discipline (looking at your program’s research guide, journals, websites, organizations, books, blogs, podcasts, etc.).
Tips for communicating with folks in your discipline gathered from Artificial Intelligence (AI).
YOUR tips for communicating with folks in your discipline (merging AI observations with your own).
Read the information below for a broad understanding of the purpose of this assignment. Refer to the attached template for more specific details on what to do.
What is a discourse community?
You learned earlier that writing does not exist in a vacuum, that it is a conversation between writer and reader. One scholar, Erik Borg, says that “We do not generally use language to communicate with the world at large, but with individuals or groups of individuals…these groups are gathered into communities.”
Each of us belongs to a number of these groups (called discourse communities). If you stop at a coffee shop routinely, you are a member of that community. Members know what the “rules” are for communicating with each other, what kind of greeting is used, what the standard length of comments is, what kind of comments are acceptable, and what kind are not. Other discourse communities might be related to activities with children, fitness, or church. You can probably think of examples of a conversation topic or a greeting that would be acceptable at the gym but not at church. In this assignment, you are going to look at the communication that occurs in one of your discourse communities, the one formed by an interest in your field of study (major, program, or discipline).
How do I learn about the discourse community in my field?
What will you be looking for? You will be looking at the kinds of reading and writing members of the community do; the expectations and rules (conventions) for the communication; the way they communicate with each other online; and other tips that help you understand this group.
Here’s an easy way to gather this information.
Click the link in the classroom to the APUS Library.
Click the link Subject A-Z.
Click the alphabet letter that starts the name of your degree program (N for Nursing, F for Fire Science, A for Accounting, etc.).
Click the name of your degree program (Nursing, Fire Science, Accounting, etc.).
Look through the many choices listed there, including databases, multi-media, podcasts, websites, career, associations, government agencies, and social media. Click numerous links in these choices and see what you can learn about how these professionals communicate with each other and those outside the field. Look at how these professionals write by reading items in the sites as well as tips offered for persons new to the field.
Once I’ve learned about my field’s discourse community, what do I do with that information?
After you have looked at your program in the library’s page, do the following steps.
Go to a generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) site, such as ChatGPT or Google Bard, and type a question like this into the site’s chat box:
What style of writing do professionals in the field of ___(type in your program)___ use?
Example questions to ask AI:
What style of writing do professionals in the field of nursing use?
What style of writing do professionals in the field of sports fitness use?
Copy and paste the answer from AI into a Word document. Be sure to write in the name of the AI tool you used to get these results. You will be pasting this information in the template to be turned in.
(NOTE: This site is a comprehensive catalog of AI tools: Futurepedia, The Largest AI Tools Directory. It is updated daily. Do a search for General Writing to get started.)
Open the template for the assignment and save it as a Word file with the title “(Your last name) Report on Communication.”
Answer the questions on the template with the information you have gathered and the analysis you have done.

This week, you are building on ideas from last week’s journal and reshaping them into a full argument in essay form. You might be able to reuse some material from last week–but you should definitely go over the feedback you received. In addition, this assignment contains some new elements, so be sure to read carefully.
