Graphics for Your Proposal

Review the requirements for the proposal assignment that is due in Week 6.  This week you will be creating two graphics that will go into your report to add clarity.

Here are the guidelines for your graphics:

·  You create original graphics (e.g. chart, table, graph, process flow) You can use information/data that you found during your research, but you must create the actual graphic.

o  For example, if you wish to show the rise in workplace accidents, you might get the numbers from a government website, but you must create the graphic that demonstrates how the numbers show an increase.

o  If you use source information, identify the source.

·  The graphics must clarify a concept in your proposal. Provide a short description with each on how the graphic relates to information in your proposal.

·  Focus on creating clear and appealing graphics that enhance the content of your proposal.

o  For instance, if your problem is that your company does not advertise on social media, then you could include a table or bar chart that shows the number of viewers on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.

·  The table or chart would use source data. Create your graphics in Word or a PowerPoint. You will be inserting them into your proposal in the week 6 assignment.

Assignment Expectations: As part of your Research Project, the third assignment requirement expects students to complete a Primary Source Analysis Assignment of TWO primary sources on your chosen topic. For this assignment, you will do a search for two (2) primary sources from an appropriate database that houses primary sources related to your topic (further details below). Once students select two primary sources, they should complete the appropriate Primary Source Analysis Worksheet. Finally, after reading and analyzing your two sources, students will write a 250-word Primary Source Analysis Narrative for each primary source. Once again, for each primary source, students will submit a Primary Source Analysis Worksheet and a 250-word Primary Source Analysis Narrative. Keep reading to find out more about where to find sources for this assignment and what your analysis should include. As always, if you have questions, please feel free to reach out to your instructor.

Keep reading to find out more about where to find sources for this assignment and what your analysis should include. As always, if you have questions, please feel free to reach out to your instructor.

But First, What Exactly is a Primary Source? Primary Sources are original records of the political, economic, artistic, scientific, social and intellectual thoughts and achievements of specific historical periods. They are produced by the people who participated in and witnessed the past. Primary sources offer a variety of points of view and perspectives of events, issues, people and places. These original sources were used or created by someone with firsthand experience of an event and these records can be found anywhere – i.e. at home or in government archives. Moving forward, if you still have questions about primary sources, please email me with questions. If you prefer further verification, please feel free to email me the sources that you plan to use.

National Archives: Primary Source Analysis Worksheets – The National Archives has created analysis worksheets to help you work with primary sources. Copies of these worksheets are provided as attachments in the Primary Source Analysis assignment. The worksheets consist of a combination of checklists and short-answer questions that will help you focus on the most important elements of many different types of historical documents. You will need the worksheets to complete the Primary Source Analysis assignment

Where can you find Primary Sources? Where should students look for primary sources?? Well, the UMGC LIBRARY, of course!! Why, you ask? Well, the UMGC library subscribes to many databases that contain such resources and are available to you in full-text and electronic format. Additionally, students can find sources through the Library of Congress, National Archives or University Libraries and Archives.

Here are some helpful links to get started with the research process.

What are Primary Sources??

Finding Primary Sources

How to Cite Primary Sources

How do I Analyze Primary Sources?

Please do not hesitate to reach out to me with questions about finding appropriate primary sources for your research. Do not use resources from history.org, Britannica.com, online encyclopedias or similar tertiary sources. While these tertiary sources are useful for general knowledge, they are not primary sources. Should students use one or more of these sites, then they will not receive credit and the instructor will ask you to redo this assignment.

Assignment Directions: After selecting, reading and analyzing your primary source(s), please make sure that both analyses follow the format below and includes the following information. Please note, students must submit a Primary Source Analysis Worksheet for each source AND a Primary Source Analysis Narrative for each source. If possible, please save all of your work in one PDF or Word document file to submit to your instructor for review.

  • Complete a Primary Source Analysis Worksheet for each primary source. Please make sure to elaborate with your answers. The more information, the better!
  • Format: Each Primary Source Analysis Narrative should be typed in a word document, with 1-inch margins, double spaced, and include no less than 250 words.
  • Bibliography: At the top of each Primary Source Analysis Narrative, students should provide a complete bibliographic entry. This complete bibliographic entry should include a formal citation, including the URL and your date of access. How should you cite your primary source?? Check out the link below.
  • Analysis and Content: Each Primary Source Analysis Narrative should include a detailed summary of source– in your own words. Ultimately, this should be written within the first two paragraphs of your analysis and should:
    • Identify the type of source, author, when and where the source was produced, and any unique quality or characteristics
    • Summary of source
    • Strengths and Weaknesses of source; any unanswered questions
    • What the source indicates about the time period it was produced and how the source defined, influenced and/or shaped history within the time frame of the course and possibly on a global scale.
  • Each primary source should explain how the article pertains to your research
    • Ideally this information would be stated at the end of your analysis
    • It is important that students share more than a simple sentence in this analysis. I would like to see a paragraph dedicated to this portion of the assignment.

Submitting Your Work: Students can submit their work under the Primary Source Assignment directions. Click on this assignment, scroll to the bottom of the page where you see “Add Attachments,” and then attach assignment here. Students can also submit this assignment through the Assignment tab. Students will also see the rubric attached to this assignment. Please make sure to review the rubric before submitting your final draft.

You will prepare and submit a term paper on Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca. Your paper should be a minimum of 1000 words in length. Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca landed on the shores of Cuba. Next, the Spanish sailor traveled by sea towards the sunny beaches of Florida. Next, Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca’s reached the shores of the Mississippi river. Next, the sailor landed in Galvestan, United States. Finally, the famous sailor slowly but surely reached Mexico and Veracruz, as expected, the sailor’s voyage was wrought with dangers. Hurricanes were a normally sight.

Many of Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca’s sailor died while trying to prevent the hurricanes from capsizing the boat. An estimated 13 sailors were able to make it to Land. The sailors landed on the shores of the Colorado River. The few survivors were able conquer the harsh nature of the rapid waters of the Colorado River. As expected, only four men remained alive during the travel. The four survivors included Alonso Maldonado and Cabeza de Baca. The other survivors included the Estevanico and Carranza. While in the United States, the Spanish travelers were able to see the huge American buffalo (Adorno 11)

While in the United States, the group was able meet the other Spanish group in Culian Can during the adventurous year of 1536. The group was converse with the Mexico City officer, its governor. The sailors conversed with the Indian residents in the place. After several years, Cabeza de Vaca was able to travel back to his native land, Spain. Upon arriving in his native country, Cabeza de Vaca focused his attention to writing books. With his writing prowess, Cabeza de Vaca was able to inspire other fellow Spanish sailors to travel abroad. The other Spanish sailors included Hernando de Soto as well as Francisco Vasquez de Coronado (Pautz, 4).

write an article on journals Paper must be at least 500 words.

/in /by

Hi, I am looking for someone to write an article on journals Paper must be at least 500 words. Please, no plagiarized work! “The Road Not Taken” This is a poem that indicates a lack of direction, lack of focus by a man whose decision making is characterized by confusion and uncertainty. It’s a poem depicting a decision making crisis of a lifetime, where any decision made determines the destiny of the person. It’s a poem replicating real life circumstances, which are equally important to a person, yet only one can suit the individual at a time. Worse still, it’s a situation that means taking an opportunity and foregoing the other. It’s a complex situation marking a journey started, yet with no clear sense of direction. The problem of decision making that requires an individual to balance between good and bad. While good is not very promising, bad is neither the best option. This signifies a life situation that requires concrete decision making on serious issues. Such situations require an individual to compromise on one aspect or the other, yet the aspect to compromise is not as clear. Visualizing clearly the right decision to make troubles this person. He thinks of taking both opportunities, but there is only one option at a time. Taking either option would mean no opportunity to take the second. However, in every confusing situation, there is always a more promising option. Regardless of how complex the situation in life can be, there is always a better way out. The confused individual looks at both options carefully and takes the best, hoping to try the other, if life allows a chance. This is a poem depicting real life, informing people that compromising situation must occur, and calling for people to ponder more and be decisive.

“Love Is Not All”

There is more to life than just love. This poem is about the reality of life, telling people that love is not the ultimate solution to the challenges we have, yet it is the most important thing for man. There is a great irony in this poem. First, the impression of the title and the first sentence makes us believe that love is worthless, since it cannot supply man with the very basics of this life. However, this notion changes as the poem progresses, and we come to realize that love is in fact everything. Love is the most coveted thing by man, which overshadows everything else. Many people will not value anything else other than love. Even though an individual may have everything they need in life, all the treasures, all the comfort, all the possessions. lack of someone to love them will make all those meaningless. Love could be there, but people shall always need food and shelter. Love could be there but people still require overcoming the challenges of life. Having love and being loved does not shield us from the usual life problems. Although love could be present, it cannot prevent people from getting sick. Love cannot change the nature of a person. bad people will always be bad even when they are loved. But with love, all these problems will appear less painful. Therefore, the ultimate cure to life suffering and pain is love. Ironically, love is all. Love is everything we desire to have, for us to value this life. Without love, life is meaningless.

Compose a 2750 words assignment on changes in future writing as journalism goes online.

Compose a 2750 words assignment on changes in future writing as journalism goes online. Needs to be plagiarism free! Online writing is emerging as a site where the majority of the empowered audience goes to search for news rather than the old way of using newspapers. In this, the article’s writer is not lagging behave not been left behind, they have altered in the types of feature to fit the demands of the growing online population. Alongside this, numerous chances for the writers to continue holding the impacts they had in news writing have emerged. The wave of the competitive nature of the writing in the online age is mainly changing the old writing transforming them into new. To reach and maintain the current audience, feature writing has improved substantially to fit into the modern era of media where the writing of news and articles is online.

When talking about online feature writing the first noticeable drastic change is the use of media in articles. It is a necessity for the writer of any feature to accompany it with appropriate media. This is in most cases the captivating photos making the news interesting attracting the masses to read the article (Karlsson and Strömbäck 23). In the online era, people need what will capture their eyesight and prompt them to attempt to read an article. If the feature is a research article the audience will read it to the specifics even if it lacks the attachments, otherwise they will just assume that it was supposed to be read. Therefore, the writer needs to be extra creative and come up with graphics and appropriate media (Karlsson and Strömbäck 24). Previously articles appeared in papers where any person who bought the paper could easily locate the article. In this, therefore the much media to attract the readers to the article was not that necessary. Either in the newspaper era, those much media could have taken place preserved for the advertisements as the size of the newspaper did not allow for other more media as it could make it look bulky.

Matching of an article with media has made many writers form an association with the popular freelancers. This creates a symbiotic relationship where the photographers and the writer both form a crew selling the news and the media to the audience at the same time (Abdulla et al. 13). This move, however, is more beneficial to the writer who performs the dual role of a photo man and a writer (Purcell et al. 23).

write an article on The Black Dahlia. It needs to be at least 1750 words.

/in /by

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on The Black Dahlia. It needs to be at least 1750 words. The murdered victim was found severely mutilated with her body severed and drained of blood. Her mouth has been slashed at both ends in a macabre grin, while her head has been bludgeoned. The two detectives are the older, more seasoned Lee and the younger Bucky, who has been nicknamed as “Fire” and “Ice” respectively, because of their emotional response styles. While Lee gets involved in another case where an old enemy is about to get paroled, the primary investigation of the young woman’s murder falls on Bucky. The detective takes a fancy to the young murdered woman and becomes obsessed with solving the case and finding out who murdered her.

In the search for clues, he arrives at a lesbian bar where he meets Madeleine Linscott, a spoilt rich woman who also turns out to be bisexual. This also provides him his ticket into the circles of the rich in Hollywood where he discovers a den of filth, corruption, and crime. In his attempts to solve the mystery, Bucky only falls deeper into this corrupt world, where his own morals are tested.

Brian DePalma’s films abound in “highly improbable plots and characters.” (Hirschberg 79) and this appears to be a reasonable observation in the case of films such as “Blow Out” and “Body Double” for example, where the principles of irony and a general imperviousness to realism appear to predominate. This may also be applicable in the case of the film “Black Dahlia”, where the audience is presented with several improbable characters, notably the bisexual character of Hilary Swank who is presumably a look-alike for the murdered girl. Another character that appears to be almost a caricature is the character played by Fiona Shaw.

The film “Black Dahlia” is characteristic of dePalma’s form of suspense noir, where the viewer is constantly reminded that he or she is watching a film from outside, because the events occuring are so surreal or because they appear to make so little&nbsp.sense.&nbsp.
