Info> https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/1996/06/24/the-fourth-state-of-matter Short Critical Essay Students will write one short critical essay. The purpose of the SCE is for you to demonstrate that you have completed the reading, and more importantly, learned something about writing from it. Process: I. Choose one aspect of the reading to focus on. Make that focus about writing craft. II. Examine the ways in which the element you’ve chosen to write about has developed your understanding of writing in a new or different way. Requirements: A. SCEs should be approximately two pages long. B. Quote or paraphrase from the text to support the claims you’re making. C. Use correct MLA format. If you don’t know what this is, check Blackboard or go to the Writing Center at the Learning Commons. Advice: 1. You may use the word “I” since you are talking about your own growing understanding of writing craft. However, use it sparingly. 2. Avoid personal examples. Stay focused on the text. 3. Do not summarize the reading. I’m looking for your analysis and application of a concept. 4. Do not use any other outside readings. The only thing on your works cited list should be the book. Everything else comes from you. 5. I recommend writing multiple drafts of the SCEs. Use the writing lab or my office hours to get feedback before the due date. 6. Read the sample SCE to follow on Blackboard.

Traditional experimental research dictates that there must be one or more experimental groups (groups receiving a treatment or intervention) and a control group (which does not receive the intervention). Participants are assigned randomly to the experimental and control groups. Although experimental designs may be preferable to other designs, even in action research, they are not always feasible for practitioners for many reasons. There may be ethical issues regarding withholding an intervention from a client group; or time, financial, or logistical constraints may make it impossible to include random assignment into groups. In such cases, the use of time-series research can provide a meaningful alternative to true experimental research. Time-series designs are quasi-experimental, meaning that they still seek to evaluate the impact of a treatment or intervention on a target group (or individual) but do not include random assignment to treatment and control groups. Researchers still have control over admittance criteria to the treatment group (e.g., mothers under the age of 21). Times series then allows researchers to take measurements of treatment effectiveness at various intervals over time. Taken together, these data points provide information about the intervention under consideration. In this Assignment, you apply time-series research techniques to a case study. To Prepare Imagine that you are a human and social services professional working with a child, Kaya, who is having some behavioral problems at her elementary school. As a scholar practitioner, you approach your work with her from an empirical standpoint and want to measure the effectiveness of your recommended services. To date, you have provided information about resources to the family and coordinated services for the child and family. As such, you pose the following research question: “What impact do the services the child is currently receiving have on reducing off-task behavior, physical aggression, and verbal aggression for the identified child?” For the purposes of this research, the target behaviors are as follows: Off-task: failure to maintain eye contact with task at hand for more than 3 consecutive seconds Physical Aggression: hitting/pushing/kicking peers/teachers, throwing objects Verbal Aggression: threatening, yelling Consider the following observation report: During the first observation period, which was conducted on Monday (in math class) between 11:20 and 11:30, 10-minute, 10-second, partial interval recording was used to assess the frequency of off-task behaviors, physical aggression, and verbal aggression. Kaya was observed to be off-task during 12% of the intervals observed, engaged in physical aggression 0% of the intervals observed, and engaged in verbal aggression 2% of the intervals observed. During the second observation (during recess), which was conducted on Wednesday from 9:00 to 9:30, Kaya was observed to be off-task during 15% of the intervals observed, engaged in physical aggression 20% of the intervals observed, and engaged in verbal aggression 3% of the intervals observed. Kaya was also observed on Friday from 10:30 to 10:40 during a group activity. Kaya was observed to be off-task during 20% of the intervals observed, was observed to engage in physical aggression 7% of the intervals observed, and was observed to engage in verbal aggression 10% of the intervals observed. Off-task Physical Aggression Verbal Aggression 12% 0% 2% 15% 20% 3% 20% 7% 10% The Assignment (1–2 pages) Based on the data, you determine that you must design a behavioral intervention for Kaya and determine if it is successful. As you begin the process of investigating your research question: Briefly describe a time-series design that you would use to investigate the impact of your intervention, and explain how you would collect and record the additional data. Be specific. Select a method for graphically representing the provided data. Use the method to create a graph. (You can use Microsoft Excel or Word). Analyze the data and provide a narrative description of your analysis.

Idea: Fortune Sneaks Buy and Supply (Social Enterprise) Description: Fortune Sneaks is a sneaker shop that invests into clothing stores to supply kids with school uniforms whenever a purchase of shoes is made. We partner with clothing stores to give kids the clothes needed for school so their parents can have the necessary funds to focus on the other important components that come with the new school year. Target Market: Our target market would be any families with children going to school from Head Start all the way up to 12th Grade. No matter your age we supply shoes to any and everyone and in turn you get the satisfaction of knowing you helped a young man/woman get clothes for the school year. Competition: Our competition would be TOMS shoes who donates a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair sold as well as State Bags who gives a book bag full of school supplies to a child in need for every book bag sold. State Bags would be a direct competitor because they are geared towards promoting education kind of in the same area as Fortune Sneaks as well as TOMS because they focus on the need of children and also promote education that being one of the reasons they donate shoes. Indirect competitor would be BARON FIG which is when you buy a book they plant a tree so they would be more towards the promoting environmental consciousness making them a competitor but not directly related to my field. Competitive Advantage: The competitive advantage I would have is that I would have all of the new releases of shoes but they would be sold a little under retail bringing in heavy traffic which would means more clothes for the children while also providing incentives for my repeat customers and pushing the long lasting benefit buying shoes you were going to get anyway has on the upcoming generation as well as the community. Pricing Strategy: As mentioned in my competitive advantage my shoes will be sold at a discounted rate a little under retail making them much more affordable with the same authentic quality of my competitors. I would except both cash as well as visa to make customer transactions flow a lot smoother and get you on about your day as quickly as possible but also allowing you the time to browse our various collection of sneakers. Just to give an example of price range say you were buying the Pine Green Jordan 1’s, at retail those are 160 according to stock x I would then mark down that price and sell them for around 125 on top of you getting some type of discount on your next purchase granted you tell someone about my business that’s just to give you an idea. The Organizational Plan Summary is a concise report of your idea and its feasibility. It is an early attempt to pull together your work on ideation, opportunity identification, opportunity assessment, customer discovery, and customer validation. While it is not a complete business plan, it does address how you will create and capture value. You may identify an idea in any of the following topic areas covered in this course: ? Social enterprise – remember to encompass how the venture will achieve its impact and the plan itself. Create an opportunity/solving a current problem with a plan of action. Cover Page ? Introduction (The “Hook” – Problem statement that engages the reader) ? Organization Description (overview of who, what, when, where, why, and how) ? Mission/Vision ? Product/Service Description (product, pricing strategy, place/distribution) ? Competitive Differentiation (Unique Selling Proposition or Value Proposition – use your research!) ? Customer & Market Analysis, including market size and potential customers (Target market and industry overview, including relevant trends – provide data and cite it in APA format – use your research!) ? Competitor Analysis (direct and indirect – use your research!) ? Financial Information – (Financial projections and startup capital requirements – How much money do you need, in what form, to do what, and how will it return to the lender or investor? When will you be profitable? How profitable? – educated estimates) ? Sustainability & Growth (Long term sustainability – How will you grow, survive and succeed? What makes the team right for the business? Who will be on it? What roles need to be filled? What makes you qualified to succeed? – This section should make the reader want to invest or join the team!) Unlike much of the written work that you complete during undergraduate studies, this summary is limited in size and scope. It is meant to be clear, concise and compelling. The following rules apply: ? Limit is 10 pages without appendices and references (double spaced, 1-inch margins, 12- point Times New Roman font). ? Include a cover page with the organization’s name and names of the members on it (not included in the ten-page limit). ? Include a “hook” in the Introduction at the beginning to capture the reader’s interest and attention. ? Use subheadings to clarify segments. ? Use References in APA 7th format to cite your sources. (You must have sources. Typically, eight (8) to 12 different citations are sufficient to support this). Complete identification of sources, using APA citation format and a full list of sources referenced, must be included in the paper. Note that Wikipedia is not an acceptable source for an academic research paper, although you may use it to obtain a general overview of the topic. The “References” page does not count toward the page maximum.) ? You may want to create a Business Model Canvas to help you sort out these categories of information. You are welcome to include it in the appendices (not part of the ten-page limit). ? Remember to select a voice (“we” or “they”) and a tense (“future” or “present”) to talk about the business and use each consistently so that the paper does not keep shifting from one to another. ? The Organization Plan Summary is a team project and each team member is expected to participate in all aspects of the project. If team members write their sections of the Organizational Plan Summary separately, it is important to revise the document to avoid a “Frankenstein” paper written in different voices, tenses, fonts, and styles.

Respond to the prompt below in this unit’s Dialogue/Group Discussion area in Blackboard by clicking on the link above. This week we read a powerful short story by Flannery O’Connor. I want you now to consider this story technically in the context of a plot diagram, and examine how the parts of story contribute to its overall theme or message. You need not draw the partial triangle (as presented in lecture notes) but carefully list and discuss the following points as you feel they apply to this story: Exposition–in the opening scenes, what information do we find out about the setting & main characters? Does the author hint at the theme or develop the mood/atmosphere of the story? What details does she use to do these things? Initial Conflict—what was it and what characters were involved? What does it mean to story development and reader interest? Rising Action—which scenes (or parts thereof) do you consider the most important contributors to character development and to the building tension before the climax, and why? Remember to discuss character involvement concretely and to use specific references and quotes from the story. Climax—when does it occur and precisely, why do you think it is the true climax to this story? What is the significance of this moment? What do we find out and how does it relate to the overall message or worldview conveyed by the story? Was anything surprising, ironic, or unexpected about the climax? Denouement—identify falling action and story ending/resolution. Is the ending tragic, comic, satirical, romantic, etc.? Do the characters learn anything? Do they change? Is it hopeful or bleak? Again, what theme or message is implied by the ending? Do not hesitate to weigh into this discussion even if you disagree with your peers. Support your choices with evidence from the text, using page number references in MLA style

Write a collegeview the instructions are going to be listed below.  1. Write it (200-300 words)  A “collegeview” is a document that describes your ideas about what college is for and what it means to you. It is not just a list of goals or a to-do list of activities (that’s your Bucket List) – it’s your manifesto about college’s purpose.  If it helps, use the questions below to guide your thinking. There are more questions than you have space to respond to, so choose the items that feel more important.  ·      What’s college for? ·      You can use college to answer many questions; what question do you want to explore? ·      What role should college play in your personal, intellectual, and vocational formation? ·      What responsibility does the institution have in making your college experience positive? How much of that responsibility is yours? ·      What are the critical outcomes of college for you? ·      Where are the most persuasive voices trying to influence your collegeview (e.g., family, Lynn, friends, lore…)? How do you feel about these various voices, and what role do they deserve to play or not? ·      How might you complete the sentence, “College will have been worthwhile if… “.
