Other teachers are welcome to download and read this pdf file and decide whether this assignment will work in their classes. Of course, other teachers may modify the assignment as desired for their classes. The pdf file is divided into two main sections following this brief introduction. First is a description of the assignment. Of course, teachers can modify the assignment as they wish. Following that is one or more examples of hero-of-human-rights essays. Teachers may print them and use them as examples for their students. A Double Assignment Teachers may make this a double assignment. Teachers may assign a long research paper on a hero of human rights, but before that paper is due require students to hand in a shorter essay designed to be printed in a newspaper or online media. 1 What Do I Have to Do for the Hero-of-Human-Rights Essay For the Media? • You will write 750-1,250 words. Do not write fewer than 750 words. Do not write more than 1,250 words. • You will write “To the Editor” at the top of your paper. • The readers will be the readers of a newspaper such as your local hometown newspaper. • You will NOT have a Bibliography or a Works Cited list. • You will NOT have in-text citations. • You will indicate your sources by writing such things as, “According to [name of author], in his [or her] article titled [title of article] in [name of publication], […].” • You will use quotation marks when quoting word for word. • You will quote sparingly. Do not quote at length. You should not use long quotations in a short media opinion essay. Note: At the top of your media opinion essay, you may write the following note. You have my permission to copy this and use it word for word. I will not consider it plagiarism. To the Editor: Here is an opinion piece that I hope that you will publish. I am submitting it through e-mail so that you don’t have to retype it. To verify that I have indeed written this opinion piece, you may call me at 330-123-4567 during working hours. Note: If you require your students to write a long research paper in your course, you may wish to require your students to write their hero-of-human-rights essay on the same topic as their long research paper. That way, students will start researching their long research paper early. I allow my students to use their hero-of-human-rights essay word for word (or slightly revised) as part of their long research paper. 2 What Do I Have to Do for the Hero-of-Human-Rights Long Research Paper? • You will write 1,250-3,000 words. Do not write fewer than 1,250 words. You may write more than 3,000 words. • The reader will be your teacher. • You will use the MLA format. • You will have a Works Cited list. • You will have in-text citations. • You will use quotation marks when quoting word for word. 3 Heroes to Write About • No Sports Heroes (except Jackie Robinson) • Martin Luther King, Jr. • Mahatma Gandhi • Feminists • A Winner of the Noble Peace Prize • A Righteous Gentile, or Righteous Among the Nations • Oscar Schindler • Raoul Wallenberg • Country of Denmark • Varian Fry, the only American named Righteous Among the Nations for his work during the Holocaust Note: Do not write an encyclopedia article about the hero, but do write about what made the person a hero. Why and how did this person do so much when so many people do so little? E.g. Why did Martin Luther King, Jr. become such a great leader? How did he help to win civil rights for so many people? E.g. Why did Oskar Schindler, a drinker and a womanizer, save so many Jews? How did he do it? Women Winners of The Nobel Peace Prize Wangari Maathai (2004) Shirin Ebadi (2003) Jody Williams (1997) Rigoberta Menchú Tum (1992) Aung San Suu Kyi (1991) Alva Myrdal (1982) Mother Teresa (1979) Mairead Corrigan and Betty Williams (1976) Emily Greene Balch (1946) Jane Addams (1931) Bertha von Suttner (1905) 4 Checklist for Media Article (for a Profile of a Human-Rights Hero) 1. You will need a short note to the editor. You have my permission to use the short note below. I will not consider that to be plagiarism. (Use your own telephone number, of course.) To the Editor: Here is an article about a hero that I hope that you will publish on the opinion page. I am submitting it through e-mail so that you don’t have to retype it. To verify that I have indeed written this article, you may call me at 593-1234 during working hours. 2. You will need a byline and a word count. For example: By Jane Student (832 words) 3. You will need a title. 4. You will need to have written between 750 and 1,250 words. Do not write fewer than 750 words. Do not write more than 1,250 words. 5. You will need to write an introduction or a lede that immediately captures the readers’ attention. 6. You will need pathos—the human element. You should tell a story that is related to the subject of your article. For example, if you are writing about a hero, you may tell a story of a particular good deed that the hero performed or a particular life that the hero saved. This may be your lede. 7. You may want to pose a question that your article will attempt to answer. For example: Why did [name of hero] act to save lives when so many other people did nothing? 8. You will need to give any needed background information. 9. You will need to give the evidence of why the person is a hero. 10. You will need to be interesting. You can do that by telling stories about acts of heroism. 11. You will need to avoid plagiarism. Use quotation marks when quoting word for word. Give credit where credit is due. 12. You will need to write a conclusion that definitely says FINIS to your article. You may end with something that the readers can think about. You may end by telling the readers how to get more information. You may do both. 13. Remember that newspapers use quotation marks, not italics, for titles. 5 Teacher’s Expectations for the Peer Review Your teacher expects you to do these things: • Bring a complete, carefully proofread draft to the peer review. Better, bring two copies. At this time, it should be a complete draft with all visual aids and all steps. Remember that you must have at least one original (meaning that you have created it) visual aid in your Set of Instructions. • Actively read the other person’s draft and seriously look for errors that the writer can correct. • Tell the writer something that he or she has done well. • Seriously give good advice to the writer about what the writer can do to improve his or her paper. • Listen carefully to the other person’s comments about your paper. Don’t be defensive, even if you disagree with some of the other person’s comments. • Try to get at least two peer reviews. • If you have time after getting the peer reviews, look over and evaluate your paper. • Don’t ask the teacher, “Can we leave now?” Proofreading Tips Occasionally, students type “the the” when they mean to type “the.” One way to check this is to use the FIND command of your word processing program. A word processing program will often have an EDIT menu. In the EDIT menu, you will often find a FIND command. You can type in “the the,” and your word processing program will find every “the the” you have typed in a document. You can also do this for other repeated words: “or or,” “an an,” etc. Be sure to use the Checklist. It identifies common errors that you should avoid making. 6 What Do I Have to Do for the Peer Review? What is a Peer Review? In a peer review, you exchange drafts of your communication with other members of the course. They evaluate your writing, you evaluate their writing, then both of you talk about each other’s writing, telling what the other person has done right and how the other person can improve his or her communication. Bring a Good Draft—Not a Zero Draft—to the Review A zero draft is a seriously incomplete draft.

  • Fraser, C, 2018.Pdf
    The PIT: A YA Response to Miltonic Ideas of the Fall in Romantic Literature Callum Fraser Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2018 Department of English Language, Literature and Linguistics Newcastle University i ii Abstract This project consists of a Young Adult novel — The PIT — and an accompanying critical component, titled Miltonic Ideas of the Fall in Romantic Literature. The novel follows the story of a teenage boy, Jack, a naturally talented artist struggling to understand his place in a dystopian future society that only values ‘productive’ work and regards art as worthless. Throughout the novel, we see Jack undergo a ‘coming of age’, where he moves from being an essentially passive character to one empowered with a sense of courage and a clearer sense of his own identity. Throughout this process we see him re-evaluate his understanding of friendship, love, and loyalty to authority. The critical component of the thesis explores the influence of John Milton’s epic poem, Paradise Lost, on a range of Romantic writers. Specifically, the critical work examines the way in which these Romantic writers use the Fall, and the notion of ‘falleness’ — as envisioned in Paradise Lost — as a model for writing about their roles as poets/writers in periods of political turmoil, such as the aftermath of the French Revolution, and the cultural transition between what we now regard as the Romantic and Victorian periods. The thesis’s ‘bridging chapter’ explores the connection between these two components. It discusses how the conflicted poet figures and divided narratives discussed in the critical component provide a model for my own novel’s exploration of adolescent growth within a society that seeks to restrict imaginative freedom.

  • KIIS DENMARK, Summer 2018
    KIIS DENMARK, Summer 2018 HIST 490 Viking Age to Modern State Instructor: Dr. Carolyn Dupont Contact information: [email protected] Course Description, Objectives, and Content: This course will explore the broad sweep of Danish history. We will explore daily life in Viking society, Viking religion and culture, and, of course, the Viking exploits abroad. We will examine in detail the transformation of Denmark from a pagan, Viking society to a modern Christian state. Training our lens on more recent times, we examine Danish society and Denmark’s role in global affairs at the height of its power in the 16th century. In the final sessions, we will look at the occupation of Denmark by the Germans during World War II, as well as Denmark’s astounding rescue of its Jewish population. Students should be very aware that the course will not proceed chronologically. We will move back and forth among the various historical eras, because we want to take advantage of historical sites that cannot necessarily be visited in chronological order. Student Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this course, students will be able to: 1) Describe and explain the major facets of Viking society 2) Describe and explain the reason for the Vikings’ ultimate embrace of Christianity 3) Identify and describe key turning points and trends in Danish history 4) Identify and describe how the major events and trends in modern European history have unfolded in Denmark 5) Demonstrate an understanding of how perspective and vantage point shape the telling of history 6) Critically evaluate the role played by perspective and vantage point at sites where Denmark’s history is told Readings (all readings will be provided by the instructor and placed in a Dropbox folder) Excerpts from Knud J.V.

  • Apocalypticism in Wagner's Ring by Woodrow Steinken BA, New York

I argue that Wagner’s cycle of four operas, Der Ring des Nibelungen (1876), presents colloquial conceptions of time, space, and nature via supernatural, divine characters who often frame the world in terms of non-rational metaphysics. Primary among these minor roles is Erda, the personification of the primordial earth. Erda’s character prophesies the end of the world in Das Rheingold, a prophecy undone later in Siegfried by Erda’s primary interlocutor and chief of the gods, Wotan. I argue that Erda’s role changes in various stage productions of the Ring, and these changes bespeak a shifting attachment between humanity, the earth, and its imagined apocalyptic demise.
