Instructions
You are a lobbyist for an issue that you find important. For example, you would like to see the banning of smoking in federal buildings (Note: This policy has already been enacted.) You are going to make an informational pamphlet to highlight your points to prominent members of Congress. Research members of Congress that you will target in your lobbying. Explain why these members are critical to your goal. Make a plan of action and produce a pamphlet supporting your cause. Who will you be reaching out to? Why? Write a cover letter to a Congressional member and include your reasoning for reaching out to them in particular in the letter. Remember a lobbyist is only as good as the information they provide.

Cover letter should:

  • Follow a standard business format
  • Correctly address your Congressperson
  • Use the correct postal address
  • Explain your choice to write to this representative in particular, and provide your pamphlet. For example, maybe your research showed that this representative sponsored legislation on this issue in the past.

Pamphlet should:

  • Analyze the problem. Provide relevant data. Tell us how to make sense of the data. Provide any findings

the essay about chocalate history

/in /by

Procedure: You may use any of the texts we have read in class and for homework to support your thesis for essay 2. Read for key ideas that relate to your thesis. Use evidence from the text to show how the author supports their thesis. You may also research outside sources for your essay to explain your thesis.

  1. Cover Memo located at end of essay: What is the biggest strength in your essay? (What are you most proud of?)-What still needs improvement in your essay? Write about what you’d still like to work on with your writing. -What was your biggest challenge with completing the task of writing the essay?
  • 3.5-4 pages required, double spaced and MLA formatted (to the best of your ability)
  • 12 point font
  • Quotes from at least two sources are expected to be integrated throughout your essay
  • Write this essay in 3rd person (Them, they, their). Don’t use I or We in this essay.

Readings available on Canvas:

  • “History of Chocolate” by History.com Editors
  • “The History of Chocolate Documentary” Youtube
  • “History of Chocolate” TedTalk by Deanna Pucciarelli
  • “A Brief History of Chocolate” by Amanda Fiegl
  • “A History of Science and Chocolate” by Roberto Verna
  • “A Cultural History of the Medicinal and Ritual Use of Chocolate” by Teresa L. Dillinger, Patricia Barriga, Sylvia Escárcega, Martha Jimenez, Diana Salazar Lowe, Louis E. Grivetti

Essay Prompt: What is most important about the history of chocolate? (Your answer is your thesis!)

Minimum Requirements:

  • The essay contains a clear introduction, body paragraphs, and a conclusion.
  • The essay supports your thesis with appropriate quotes and paraphrases the author’s ideas.
  • Proofread, making sure that grammar errors don’t interfere with readability and comprehension and attempt to use coordinating and subordinating conjunctions.
  • Write a final draft answering the essay prompt (3.5-4 pages), include your drafts and a cover memo describing the revisions that you have made between drafts.

An “A” paper will meet all the minimum requirements AND…

  • The essay contains a thesis statement that gives the readers a clear idea of what you are critiquing.
  • Included are three quotes from texts and writing that shows you carefully unpacked and critiqued those quotes.
  • Develop ideas completely and wrap it up to conclude strongly.
  • Students should pay close attention to style and mechanics in all of your work by implementing the organization and writing skills introduced in this class.
  • Careful proofreading together with correct grammar and punctuation usage is crucial in this class. Although the spellchecker is a valuable tool, one that students absolutely should use, students cannot simply run a spell-check without also proofreading a paper. As we know, spellcheckers do not flag everything, and may incorrectly flag some items. Only careful proofreading can find all the errors. In conjunction with the spellchecker, also enable the Microsoft Word grammar checker to run concurrently with the spellchecker. Lack of proofreading — formatting, punctuation, spelling and grammar mistakes — will result in an NP grade.
  • Questions always arise regarding what constitutes a “page,” so to ensure we all use the same guidelines for essay length, a “page” for essays is a full 8 ½ x 11 inch page.
  • Follow the standard MLA formatting guidelines.
    -Essay is double-spaced.

-Use 12 pt. Times New Roman text running from the top margin to the bottom margin

-All margins are one inch wide, no greater. The exception is the first page with the author block and essay title, in which the text runs from one line space below the title to the one-inch margin at the bottom.

-Single space after period (or punctuation) at end of sentence.

*Students should always keep an electronic copy of work in case of loss (yours or mine).

/in /by

The foreign policy is the key element in any process, which a state directly translates to the conceived goals and interests in its course of actions. On the other hand, Ben-Meir (2009) stated that the foreign policy is the amalgamation of the practices and principles which regulate the interaction of any state and other states. The primary objective of the foreign policy of the United States is maintaining own political independence and the security. The contemporary American power is the key factor behind the development of its foreign policy. In this regard, the current essay would value several past theories and propositions on the impact of the foreign policy of the United States on the global environment. Hence, the present essay would focus on the significant effect of the foreign policy of the United States.

Value chain. discuss how each channel in the product or service offering adds value to the customer it have to be about Five Guys Burger and fries.The reading for this question:Today, the term value chainis sometimes used interchangeably with the term supply chain. The idea behind the value chain is that your supply chain partners should do more for you than perform just basic functions; each partner should help you create more value for customers as the product travels along the chain—preferably more value than your competitors’ supply chain partners can add to their products.Zara, a trendy but inexpensive clothing chain in Europe, is a good example of a company that has managed to create value for its customers with smart supply chain design and execution. Originally, it took six months for Zara to design a garment and get it delivered to stores. To get the hottest fashions in the hands of customers sooner, Zara began working more closely with its supply chain partners and internal design teams. It also automated its inventory systems so it could quickly figure out what was selling and what was not. As a result, it’s now able to deliver its customers the most cutting-edge fashion in just two weeks (Smith, 2008).
