Complete the Summer Assignment for Juniors English 5-6 Advanced Placement Summer Reading Assignments Purpose/Justification: 1. Summer reading provides continuity between May and August, helping students continue to grow in analytical thinking. The annotation/note taking process, in particular, is a structured means to guide students in this thinking. 2. Summer reading provides an immediate springboard for discussion in August. AP English classes, in particular, can begin with the introduction and discussion of argument on Day 1. 3. Students in Pre-AP/AP should be avid, active readers. Summer reading supports this expectation while directing the activity towards pieces specifically chosen in relation to the student’s English course. Overall Tasks: 1. You will read one non-fiction selection, Jon Ronson’s So You’ve Been Publicly Shamed. In August on the first week of school, you will be assigned a timed writing prompt which explains how the author incorporates humor along with the informational text to achieve his purpose. You will be expected to quote directly from the book; therefore, it is essential that you devise some way of taking notes. You may annotate directly in the text itself, or you may choose to keep hand written (blue or black ink pen) notes on paper for the work. Notes taken on paper should be neatly stapled (no frilly edges) with a full heading in the upper-left-hand corner. The book and notes are due on the first day of school. (If you check out a copy from the library, be sure to renew it right before school starts because you will need it for the timed write.) 2. For the second assignment you will be choosing and following a prominent newspaper or magazine columnist. You must read the columns of this writer over the summer and keep a log of responses to his/her topics and writing style. The specifics of this assignment are explained after the information on the non-fiction selection. This assignment should be typed. You will bring in a hard copy, yet you should also keep a digital copy in your pvlearners account. This assignment is due the first day of school. Note: Choose your reading carefully – do some research on a title of the non-fiction work as well as the columnist before choosing him or her. I strongly suggest a parent also has input to your choice. This is a college prep class, and these are college level choices. The list has a variety of topics for a variety of interests, suitable for a variety of sensibilities. Annotation: What’s important? Here are some specific things you’ll want to consider in your reading, concepts on which you’ll want to make/take notes and ideas you’ll want to be able to identify/discuss about your non-fiction work. In addition to your annotation, consider your thoughts and responses to what the author is saying and how he is saying it. Include some personal comments on these thoughts. Carefully consider why you have these ideas? Some may be ideas you had prior to reading the book. How has the author confirmed, changed, or challenged your thinking? Project Evaluation and Due Dates You will be assigned an in-class timed writing for the work you read. The essay will be worth 50 points. You will be expected to provide specific examples from the reading (with proper MLA parenthetical documentation); therefore, you will be allowed to use your book/notes. Bring your book and your notes to class on the first day of school in August. Caution: Whatever you bring and turn in the first day of school is what you will be able to use on the in-class timed writing. You cannot come with additional notes or the book later. The columnist assignment is also due the first day of school in August. Bring a hard copy to class, and you will be uploading a digital copy to Turnitin.com. Your teacher will give you instructions on how to submit your columnist assignment. Assignment: The Columnist Project This coming year in AP English, you will become students of rhetoric and language, learning to think critically about the world in which we live. A major objective of this course is to develop ideas about informed citizenship. This summer project is designed to help you better understand how arguments work. You will hone your skills in reading critically and analyzing nonfiction works. You will focus on one columnist—a writer who regularly (often on the same days each week) publishes an opinion column in a newspaper or magazine, either in print, online, or both. You will choose a columnist who discusses national concerns, including but not limited to finance, politics, or social issues; columnists who write about sports, fashion, music, movies, etc. are not appropriate. You must collect FOUR current columns and provide a link to her/his work. You can access most of these resources online. Select a variety of topics, do not concentrate just on pandemic or related issues. YOU WILL WANT TO READ SOME OF THE COLUMNISTS’WORK BEFORE COMMITTING. In other words, don’t just choose a writer randomly – read some of his/her work so you know if you like the person, his/her opinions, writing style, etc. Directions: ● Choose a columnist to “adopt” for the summer. ● Read and think about four articles from this columnist. These should be current (follow throughout the summer if possible), but check your columnist’s printed material or website weekly because some columnists take frequent breaks during the summer; get to know their schedules so that you can fit in the number of columns you need. You may access archives for many of these columnists; if you should choose to go to the archives, you may only go back as late as January 2021 in order to keep the information current. ● Create a five-page document for this part of the assignment. Important: Organize your work in the following manner, or you will not receive credit. Use the example below as a model and label each part accordingly. This project will be collected on the first day of school in August. NOTE: All work must be typed, and you must retain a digital copy in your pvlearners account. Parts of the five-page document First, the Cover Page. On the first sheet of the five-page document in a single paragraph summary, describe your columnist. You will need to do a little research. However, you may find that the columnist may even describe his or her own column, beliefs, views, biases, etc. The publication in which they are published may also describe the columnists a bit. Describe the writer's typical subject matter (political, tech, business, cultural, social, etc.), his or her angle/bias/slant, anything notable about his or her style(use of humor, sarcasm, expert opinions, research, interviews, etc.), his or her authority or credibility(any other positions he/she holds or works he/she has published), and other information you find about the columnist. (Double space this paragraph.) Still on the first page, but in a short paragraph below the above information, describe why you chose to adopt and follow this columnist. Ideas you might consider are describing a bit of information about you (your beliefs, your hobbies, your interests) that might be relevant to the reason you chose this columnist. You can also explain what you liked about this person's writing style or beliefs. Many students select a columnist who reflects their own beliefs, but you may have chosen one who challenges your beliefs and/or brings up points you haven't considered. (Double space this paragraph as well.) Second, the Column Analyses. Each article analysis should have its own page. Adjust the margins and font if you have to, and DO NOT double space this section. Remember to use the exact format as the example below. For each column, you should complete the following: Part 1: Article Analysis ● Citation: Cite the source of the article. Use MLA 8 format. Purdue's OWL (Online Writing Lab) has an easy to use, correct citation "machine." ● Content: One paragraph (approximately 100 words) overview of the content and scope of the article. ● Tone: In a sentence or two describe the author's tone and any shifts that may occur in the tone throughout the article. Tell where those shifts occur, too. (i.e. In the beginning of the article, the author is humorous to draw in the reader, but the tone shifts to cautious about midway.) ● Organization: Is the article written in chronological order; does it compare and then contrast; does it list a step-by-step process; is it an extended definition with examples; does it explain cause and effect; does it describe more minor ideas first and build to an important idea, etc.…. Identify the kind of organization and explain a bit. Again, this is just a sentence or two. ● Diction/word choice: Choose three specific word choices that the author uses, and discuss in a sentence or two (total) how the author’s specific word choice helps create your understanding of the text and the author’s point of view. ● Appeals, Devices, and Strategies: How does the columnist support his point? Does he or she try to create specific emotions in the audience? Which ones? Doesthe author establish his credibility in the article or need to (remember that they are a syndicated columnist)? Does the writer present figures and statistics? What exact emotions is he or she trying to incite in the reader?) Describe any effective writing strategies or literary devices you can identify in the article.

    “Consider the Source” A Resource Guide to Liberal, Conservative and Nonpartisan Periodicals 30 East Lake Street ∙ Chicago, IL 60601 HWC Library – Room 501 312.553.5760 ver heard the saying “consider the source” in response to something that was questioned? Well, the same advice applies to what you read – consider the source. When conducting research, bear in mind that periodicals (journals, magazines, newspapers) may have varying points-of-view, biases, and/or E political leanings. Here are some questions to ask when considering using a periodical source: Is there a bias in the publication or is it non-partisan? Who is the sponsor (publisher or benefactor) of the publication? What is the agenda of the sponsor – to simply share information or to influence social or political change? Some publications have specific political perspectives and outright state what they are, as in Dissent Magazine (self-described as “a magazine of the left”) or National Review’s boost of, “we give you the right view and back it up.” Still, there are other publications that do not clearly state their political leanings; but over time have been deemed as left- or right-leaning based on such factors as the points- of-view of their opinion columnists, the make-up of their editorial staff, and/or their endorsements of politicians. Many newspapers fall into this rather opaque category. A good rule of thumb to use in determining whether a publication is liberal or conservative has been provided by Media Research Center’s L. Brent Bozell III: “if the paper never met a conservative cause it didn’t like, it’s conservative, and if it never met a liberal cause it didn’t like, it’s liberal.” Outlined in the following pages is an annotated listing of publications that have been categorized as conservative, liberal, non-partisan and religious.

  • Follow a Columnist – 1St Semester
    Follow A Columnist – 1st Semester Originated by Jim Veal; modified by S. Ables 2/5/2016 Some of the most prominent practitioners of stylish written rhetoric in our culture are newspaper columnists. Sometimes they are called pundits – that is, sources of opinion, or critics. On the reverse side find a list of well-know newspaper columnists. Select one (or another one that I approve of) and complete the tasks below. Please start a new page and label as TASK # each time you start a new task. TASK 1: Inform Ms. Ables of your selection for the columnist you will follow. DUE THUR/FRI September 15/16 TASK 1—Brief Biography to reveal their bias. DUE TUES/WED September 27/28 — 10 points Write a brief (100-200 word) biography of the columnist. Suggestions of details to include: birthdate, childhood, education, career, previous jobs, awards, unique experiences, etc. I suggest you import a picture of the author if possible. TASK 2—Five Annotated Columns, complete with a Rhetorical Triangle. DUE TUE/WED November 29/30—50 points Make copies from newspapers or magazines or download them from the internet. All articles must come from the current year. I suggest cutting and pasting the columns into Microsoft word and double-spacing them because it makes them easier to annotate and work with. Your annotations should emphasize such things as: - the assertion of the columnist - identify appeals to logos, pathos, or ethos - what rhetorical strategies are being used to support their assertion? - the tone (or tones) of the column - errors of logic (if any) that appear in the column (logical fallacies) - the way the author uses sources, the type of sources the author uses (Be sure to pay attention to this one!) - the apparent audience the author is writing for - in other words, look for all the components in our Rhetorical Triangle.

  • 1. “Specifically, Both on Twitter and in TV Appearances, You Have Made
    I have deeply valued my time at The Washington Post. And as I said at the beginning of the recent meeting with our executive editor, I am sorry that some of my public statements have angered Post editors. It is true that I have had past conversations with editors about our social media policies. Typically, I spent those meetings seeking specific understanding of precisely where the lines are. It is clear now that top Post editors are more upset than had previously been made clear. Direct and clear communication, even and perhaps especially in moments of frustration and disagreement, are vital to a productive relationship between reporters and their editors. In the same way I would expect an editor to consult me before affixing a correction to one of my stories, I expect that if specific public comments of mine are believed to run afoul of policy that I will be given an opportunity to explain myself prior to being subject to punitive action. I acknowledge that there have been instances in which my tweets or public statements have violated Post policies (it is clear, for example, that I have “criticized competitors”), however the HR sanction I was issued includes factual errors, misstatements about the context and content of my public statements, and sweeping declarations that are unsupported by examples. None of the examples listed in the HR memo are incidents about which I had any discussion with Post editors prior to receiving a formal sanction. I am hopeful that a productive conversation isstill possible, but that cannot happen until the inaccurate HR memo is remedied.

  • U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress
    U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs Michael Moodie Assistant Director and Senior Specialist in Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Updated February 24, 2020 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R44891 U.S. Role in the World: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The U.S. role in the world refers to the overall character, purpose, or direction of U.S. participation in international affairs and the country’s overall relationship to the rest of the world. The U.S. role in the world can be viewed as establishing the overall context or framework for U.S. policymakers for developing, implementing, and measuring the success of U.S. policies and actions on specific international issues, and for foreign countries or other observers for interpreting and understanding U.S. actions on the world stage. While descriptions of the U.S. role in the world since the end of World War II vary in their specifics, it can be described in general terms as consisting of four key elements: global leadership; defense and promotion of the liberal international order; defense and promotion of freedom, democracy, and human rights; and prevention of the emergence of regional hegemons in Eurasia. The issue for Congress is whether the U.S. role in the world is changing, and if so, what implications this might have for the United States and the world. A change in the U.S. role could have significant and even profound effects on U.S. security, freedom, and prosperity. It could significantly affect U.S.

BOB SCHIEFFER: I’m Bob Schieffer. H. ANDREW SCHWARTZ: And I’m Andrew Schwartz. MR. SCHIEFFER: And these are conversations about the news. We’re in the midst of a communications revolution. We have access to more information than any people in history. But are we more informed, or just overwhelmed by so much information we can’t process it? MR. SCHWARTZ: Our podcast is a collaboration of the Bob Schieffer College of Communication at TCU and the CSIS in Washington. MR. SCHIEFFER: In this first year of Donald Trump’s presidency, we’re talking to the reporters who are covering the president the closest. (Music plays.) MR. SCHIEFFER: Today on the podcast we have Ruth Marcus, an op-ed columnist for The Washington Post, who specializes in American politics and domestic policy. She’s also the deputy editorial page editor. She went to Yale and then went to Harvard Law School. And if I’m correct, you started writing for the Post while you were in law school. And then did you ever leave, or is that the only place you’ve ever worked? RUTH MARCUS: That’s – well, I worked for a small legal newspaper before I went into law school, which kind of explains my detour.

  • The Bush Revolution: the Remaking of America's Foreign Policy
    The Bush Revolution: The Remaking of America’s Foreign Policy Ivo H. Daalder and James M. Lindsay The Brookings Institution April 2003 George W. Bush campaigned for the presidency on the promise of a “humble” foreign policy that would avoid his predecessor’s mistake in “overcommitting our military around the world.”1 During his first seven months as president he focused his attention primarily on domestic affairs. That all changed over the succeeding twenty months. The United States waged wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. U.S. troops went to Georgia, the Philippines, and Yemen to help those governments defeat terrorist groups operating on their soil. Rather than cheering American humility, people and governments around the world denounced American arrogance. Critics complained that the motto of the United States had become oderint dum metuant—Let them hate as long as they fear. September 11 explains why foreign policy became the consuming passion of Bush’s presidency. Once commercial jetliners plowed into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, it is unimaginable that foreign policy wouldn’t have become the overriding priority of any American president. Still, the terrorist attacks by themselves don’t explain why Bush chose to respond as he did. Few Americans and even fewer foreigners thought in the fall of 2001 that attacks organized by Islamic extremists seeking to restore the caliphate would culminate in a war to overthrow the secular tyrant Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Yet the path from the smoking ruins in New York City and Northern Virginia to the battle of Baghdad was not the case of a White House cynically manipulating a historic catastrophe to carry out a pre-planned agenda.
