From the following set of story notes, write a news story. The facts are not in chronological order nor are they written to be re-copied. Rewrite the sentences in your own words. Pay attention to AP style and grammar.

Story notes:

Children also spend more time on homework because they learn how to study using the computer, he says.

NYU graduate students observed 40 families in New York, Connecticut and New Jersey who have home computers, and Professor Joe Glacquinta is analyzing their computer use.

“Families appreciate each other a bit more than when Dad was watching TV and the son was playing his guitar,” Glacquinta said. “They’re spending more time together because they’re having fun working on their computers.”

He plans a four-year study of 2,000 families.

Families with home computers spend more time together and watch less TV, and the children do more homework, according to preliminary findings of a New York University study.

The Census Bureau says about 25 million families now have home computers.

As more and more homes get computers, the technological revolution “could alter the structure of the family,” according to Glacquinta.

The Dictionary defines Urban as:

ur·ban

[ur-buhn] adjective

1. of, pertaining to, or designating a city or town.

2. living in a city.

3. characteristic of or accustomed to cities; citified: an urban type.

This definition is a good starting place to understand the background for where these kinds of stories, characters and issues that Urban Drama comes from and adresess but, we must look a little deeper and wrestle with the issues and themes of these characters as well, not just location. The location(s), in an abstract sense, is a through line for much of this genre and where these characters reside and live but it is the circumstances, relationships and conflicts that arise out of living in highly populated, lower scale communities suffering from crime, gangs, drugs, blight, and poverty that drive the force of the drama in these stories. The drama and conflict can be quite intense within the scope of this Genre. We also see that Urban Drama does not lay claim to any one specific ethnic background. So much of Urban Drama looks at communities of all races who share in similar circumstances be it Latino communities, Black communities, various Asian neighborhoods, White communities, or a sub community within the larger groups mentioned. Urban Drama discusses issues of race, poverty, crime, drugs, upward social mobility, institutional racism, sexual abuse, misogyny, religion, class etc.

This week you will get to choose between doing ONE of two assignments.

Formats for Procedure Manuals

/in /by

The discussion assignment for this week will be about finding an appropriate format for writing a procedures manual for a set of business processes or procedures. Proper execution of processes or procedures may be dependent upon a properly constructed procedures manual. Careers exist in technical writing to accomplish this very goal. Procedures manuals may also serve as a reference guide once the staff member has mastered the how-to portion. The audience for the procedures manual ranges from novice, for someone with very little background information, to experienced, for those who want a quick refresher on a certain process or procedure. Think about a process or procedures manual you have found helpful in the past to serve as a guide.

Complete the following for this assignment:

  • Research the library and the Internet for information on suggested guidelines and templates for organizing a procedures manual.
  • Select 1 set of guidelines or template that you think will be most appropriate for developing a procedures manual for a business process or set of procedures of your choosing.
  • Provide a summary of the selected guidelines.
  • Describe how you will adapt this to develop your procedures manual in the next assignments.
  • Discuss the strengths of the selected guidelines for providing the information that various audiences will require.

The Essay about the 3 article

Dweck, Carol. “Brainology.” National Association of Independent Schools.

Hilton, Adriel. “Scholar Calls Growth Mindset a ‘Cancerous’ Idea, In Isolation.” Nov 16, 2017.

Kohn, Alfie. “The Perils of ‘Growth Mindset’ Education: Why we’re trying to fix our kids when we should be fixing the system.” 16 August 2015.

“Brainology” by Carol Dweck.

PROMINENT SCHOLAR CALLS GROWTH MINDSET A CANCEROUS.

THE PERILS OF GROWTH MINDSET EDUCATION.

More Specifically:

  • Your essay must include your argument about growth mindset. You can argue that growth mindset is the most important factor in improving student success (taking Dweck’s side) or you can argue that there are other factors that are more important than growth mindset (taking from either Hilton or Kohn). That means you need a thesis that states your answer to the above question and topic sentences that give reasons for your answer. You also need support for your argument in the form of cited material and personal experience.
    • Your thesis may look something like this:
      • “The idea of growth mindset is the most important aspect of improving our education system because….(3 reasons you think so). OR
      • “The idea of growth mindset is not the most important aspect of improving our education system because we need to consider….. (think of what you find more important, probably from the Hilton and Kohn articles).
    • You are required to cite both personal experience and the texts we discussed. When citing the texts, make sure to follow the Incorporating Quotes in Research handout.
    • Your body paragraphs should be formatted as PIEIE paragraphs. Your P should be a topic sentence (reason) in your own words, your I should be personal examples or quotes from the articles and your E should be explanations/analysis that connect back to the thesis.
    • NOTE: Since you are citing the article, and possibly your own sources, don’t forget your Works Cited page.
