new HW for Monday nite 1A class... this is due next monday the 10th.

Hey Monday nite 1A class! (be sure to email me the previous Home work if you have not yet done so....)

We will be assigning essay #1 on Next Mon. all the HW below directly relates to the essay.... soooo, be sure to kick ass on this HW, and to type it... you have four things to do here...

1. You are asked to meet up with 4 to 5 people who know you. (You don't need to meet them all at once, lol, but pairs might work...)
You will be asking these people to talk about YOU. (yes, it might feel weird at first!)
See if you can create a discussion that explores 
what strengths they see in you...
what passions they see you having... 
what future they envision for you... 
what role they can imagine you playing in groups or in doing projects....

(these can be turned into questions that you ask...)

TAKE NOTES about what they say, maybe even record them... their words will end up being QUOTES that you may be using in paper #1..

After you do the interviews... write up 3-4 paragraphs that pull together the ideas and especially the trends that you notice...(it probably means something if every person you interview thinks you should be an astronaut...lol)

2. Why do  you think people don't get more involved in the issues that are around them, esp. issues that are related to cities. 
 Pick the best 3 reasons that you came up with that you think you want to write about...

Keep in mind that you should try to avoid picking reasons that are similar to each other. Once you pick the 3 best that you like, write up 3-4-5 sentences for each one, expanding the discussion of each. (You are essentially creating the topics sentences for each reason.)

3. Pls watch this cool video about this concept called "Participatory Budgeting."

https://www.participatorybudgeting.org/what-is-pb/

Once you watch it, go back to the reasons you came up with for why people don't get more involved 

For each of the reasons you came up with, ask yourself  "Does this movie address (and maybe even solve) the reason?"

I think you will find that a LOT of the issues you came up with for why people don't get involved are addressed by this movie.... 

4. Next, spend time on this website, and learn what you can about this concept of PB...THEN, write up a 1-2 para summary about what PB is...

HW for Tues 102 class, due on Sept 6th, (this thurs)

Hey , so you have seen the essay assignment.
We need to get started on it... to do that you have 2 things to read, and then we will have you write.

https://seanchabot.blogspot.com/2014/01/rule-of-3.html

What are YOUR passions and interests that could perhaps make an impact on a larger community?

English —1st  Formal Essay —McFarland--Fall—2018

For this first essay we will be investigating an important issue related to our semester together. As we have been discussing in class, you are going to be invited to make an impact on a local community. For that to happen, it is important for the community to get involved. Of course, that is not always easy to do.

The following questions will guide you as you build your paper. It is OK to argue more than one side of a question if that is how you feel. 

1. Why DON’T people get more involved in the issues that impact their lives?
2. What can a city do to more effectively engage their citizens? 
3. What are some ideas that might encourage people to get more involved? (These can be practical and/or theoretical.)
4. What are YOUR passions and interests that could perhaps make an impact on a larger community?

You can bring in ideas and examples you know from other countries, or other areas of life.

You must interview 3 or so people for this paper, and their quotes and ideas should be in the paper. Try finding people who know what they are talking about. I will explain more about this....

For sure you should do Rule of 3 in the paper.

In order to support your points, you need to use ideas found in essays and other materials I provide you, your own research, interviews you will do, and in any other handouts, books, etc. that you have access to.

You should  average a minimum of 2 short quotes per paragraph. Quote length in a paper of this length should be no more than 1-2 lines.

The essay’s page minimum is 6 full pages…(BNDJTM…)

Paragraph topic sentences should start with concepts. Paragraph topic sentences should also feature KEYWORDS, taken from the essay assignment questions.

The paper is due ________________.

First draft is due _________________
