Read the assignment for Paper #2 below,  and explain how some of your beliefs developed because of Inductive or Deductive Reasoning.  Comment on other people’s posts and ideas.  This is not a draft, but a discussion to help you generate some meaningful ideas and see what other people might be doing in their papers.     English 1C Paper #2   Examining Your Beliefs/Opinions/Truths using Inductive and Deductive Reasoning Overview: You will examine one or more of your beliefs or those of others based on inductive or deductive reasoning.  You will break these down and research the points in detail to determine if these beliefs are or are not true.  You will arrive at a deeper understanding of how inductive and deductive reasoning works through this project. Getting Started: To find your topic, begin by listing some beliefs you have that exist because of your own observations about the world (inductive reasoning) and beliefs someone else told you were true the you have applied in your life (deductive reasoning). You may have learned these beliefs from your own experiences (inductive) or from parents or relatives, or the media (deductive). These could be beliefs about love, friends, cars, college, careers, yourself, other people, sports, music, relationships, bad habits, people’s character, things you are afraid of, things you love or hate. . . but they must have come from Inductive Reasoning, which is when specific examples lead to a general belief or “truth,” or Deductive Reasoning, which starts with a general belief or “truth” that is applied to specific examples.  You could also use the beliefs of someone else in this paper; if you have a friend or relative who has beliefs you are not sure are correct, you can challenge these beliefs in your paper as well. Overview: You are going to select one or more of these beliefs, examine them by breaking them down, and research these claims and analyse them to see if they are true or if they are examples of faulty inductive or deductive reasoning.   The Process: The pages in our textbook on 303-306 and 309-311 cover Induction and Deduction; use this information in your research, and quote from them in the paper.  Most of Chapter One could also be helpful.  You will examine how you developed these beliefs.  Did your reasons or evidence come from your own experiences, others’ experiences or beliefs, or somewhere else? Let’s say you believe a certain restaurant is pretty bad because the first time you went there you had bad service, and your friend told you he had a bad meal there.  So you think the place is a terrible restaurant, which is Inductive Reasoning. You might want to choose important beliefs that you have questioned or wondered about, and determine through this analysis and research whether they are, in fact, true.  Research and Analysis: Do some research to see if your claims about the restaurant that led to the belief are, in fact, valid.  Perhaps you will go to Yelp and read some reviews; you can talk to your friend who used to work there, and you see that you ordered the only items on the  found them to be very positive.  You now can’t wait for the restaurant to open again after this quarantine period is over so you can try the food. Evaluating your research: How have these beliefs worked for you in your life?  Have they helped you?  Held you back?  Prevented you from learning something? You can do more than one belief in the paper; make sure to organize so the reader can follow it clearly. Format:  The introduction should give background information about the beliefs, draw the reader in, be specific, and include a thesis that breaks the parts of the paper down (the topic, the subtopics, and the purpose).  Body paragraphs should be specific and follow the ideas above; develop using specifics, and quote from the book and any other sources you want as support or evidence.  Do a bit of research when examining the parts of your belief!  Is your belief (or beliefs) valid or true?  Include a brief analysis of Inductive and Deductive reasoning and how these can be flawed, if that is relevant.  The conclusion should be your arrival, but you can have important moments throughout the paper The link below briefly but accurately explains how we develop beliefs using inductive and deductive reasoning; you can quote from this as you construct your draft. https://courses.lumenlearning.com/engcomp1-wmopen/chapter/text-inductive-reasoning/ (Links to an external site.)  (Links to an external site.) List the sources you used at the end of the paper, using MLA Style.  Write at least two but no more than three pages.  ______________________________________________________________________________ POST BELOW:  What are some ideas you have about this assignment and how it relates to you?  What are you thinking of writing about?  Will you choose one example of inductive or deductive or more than one?  Will you talk about both types?  Give people feedback about their ideas, and think about what you ultimately want to use as your topic and if you want to explore more than one belief?

Step 1: Your Relationship Bank Account `Each of us has beliefs about what represents “positive” and “negative” behavior in relationships with family, friends, and others.  Think of these beliefs as your “personal rules” for relationships.  This part of the assignment allows you to use your self-awareness to identify some “personal rules” you have for relationships in college.  It introduces the idea of a “relationship bank account” as a way to help you identify your “personal rules” for what represents positive and negative behaviors on a project team.    Step 1 is like a case study: it gives you a fictional situation and you will reflect on how you would react in that situation.  This part of the assignment is not asking you to reflect on actual students in our class.  Imagine that you are on a project team for one of your classes.   If you are currently in a team for another class, you might use that experience as you reflect on the situations below. At the top of a scratch piece of paper, write the number “100.”The number “100” represents the balance you have with one member of your imaginary project team.  After reading each situation below, decide whether your team member added or subtracted from their “relationship bank account” with you, and how much they added or subtracted. Example: Situation: You tell this teammate you are having difficulty in a class.  The teammate tells you they took that class last semester and earned an A.  They offer to meet with you before the next test to help you study. In this situation, did your team member add or subtract from the 100 balance in their relationship bank account with you?  Let’s say they added 20 because your “personal rules” place a high value on behaviors that show someone understands your situation and offers help before it is requested.  The new balance in their relationship bank account with you is now 120.  Situation:  This same teammate says something in a discussion referring to something you told them privately.  Your “personal rules” place a high value on confidentiality, so this person has now withdrawn 50 points.  120 minus 50 equals 70, which is the new balance. Situations: Your teammate noticed you weren’t in class and picked up an extra set of handouts for you.  After class, they texted to check on you.  Does this behavior add or subtract from their “relationship bank account” with you?  How much does it add or subtract?  Calculate your new total. Your teammate agreed to a meeting time for the team but, five minutes after the meeting was supposed to start,  texted to say “Something came up. Can’t make it.” How much does this behavior add or subtract from their relationship bank account with you?  Calculate your new total. Your teammate arranged a meeting room for your team and helped the team set an agenda so your meeting was productive. How much does this behavior add or subtract from their relationship bank account with you?  Calculate your new total. Your teammate comes to meetings but does not contribute.  Is often on their phone. How much does this behavior add or subtract from their relationship bank account with you?  Calculate your new total. Your teammate responds promptly on the group chat. How much does this behavior add or subtract from their relationship bank account with you?  Calculate your new total. Your team set a deadline for everyone to submit material for the presentation.  Your teammate missed the deadline and did not contact the team or explain why. How much does this behavior add or subtract from their relationship bank account with you?  Calculate your new total. For your post to the discussion, answer the 5 questions below, referring to how you responded to each of the six situations.    Number your answers and type in bold the words that appear in blue bold so it is clear what question you are answering.  Your original post will include Step 1 and Step 2. Balance: What is the balance on your relationship bank account after reading and responding to each of the situations? Withdrawals: What situations caused you to make the biggest withdrawals? Persoal Rule for Withdrawals:  What “personal rule” did your teammate break that led to the withdrawals?  For example, maybe you expect people you have relationships with to fulfill their commitments, even if it means they need to come up with an alternative.   Deposits: What scenarios caused you to make the biggest deposits? Personal Rule for Deposits:  What “relationship rule” did your teammate follow that led to the deposits?  For example, maybe you value it when someone helps you out, even if you have not requested help. Step 2: Goals and Rules for Your Success Team You have been randomly assigned to a small group (3-5) students who will be your Success Team.  You have been assigned this discussion in your Success Team, so you will meet them and the discussion will take place among the 3-5 members of your team only.  Only after you have posted will you be able to see the names of your Success Team members.  (For those of you who enjoy a mystery, this discussion offers you a taste of that: as each member posts, the names of your Success Team members will be revealed!) The purpose of Success Team is to help you build your interdependence by providing a support network in our class to help you finish strong this semester.   To ensure your team functions effectively, for Step 2 of this discussion you will apply the 3 guidelines for effective study groups from Chapter 5 of On Course.  Skip Downing suggests three steps for maximizing the value of a study group: Choose Only Creators.  Instead of making a choice, you have been assigned to this group.  It is up to you and your teammates to create a Creator culture in this group.   Choose Group Goals.  Effective Success Teams have shared goals.   Choose Group Rules.  As a team, you will create what On Course refers to as a “team covenant” for the steps that you will each take to reach your team’s goals.     Your original post will include Step 1 and Step 2.  For Step 2 of the discussion, answer the 4 questions below.  Number your answers and type in bold the words that appear in blue bold so it is clear what question you are answering.   5.  Introduction: Briefly tell your team about yourself: your name, preferred pronouns, major, etc. 6.  My Creator Statement:  What Creator choices will you make to support a Creator culture in this Success Team? 7.  Group Goals: Suggest at least two possible goals for your Success Team, being sure to apply the DAPPS rule.  For example, “By Friday, December 11th, each member of the team will have completed the class, earned their goal grade, and continued their 32-Day Commitment.” 8.  Group Rules: Suggest at least two steps that each member of your team can take to reach your team’s goals.  Be sure they meet the DAPPS rule.  For example, “Starting Week 10, each week every member of the team will contact the other team members twice: On Mondays to share their DAPPS goals for the week and again on Saturday to report on their progress.”

After reading/listening to LBJ’s “Speech on Vietnam” and MLK’s “Beyond Vietnam,” determine which speech is more persuasive in arguing FOR or AGAINST America’s involvement in the Vietnam War. Keep in mind the context of which you are writing; do not immediately determine your position based on historical knowledge alone. You are writing from the position of knowledge from 1967; therefore, your position should be the THIRD PERSON, as well as from that time period (after these speeches).  Consider the following questions as you develop your position: What sorts of rhetorical strategies did Johnson and King use to make their argument (logos, pathos, ethos)? How does Johnson explain the necessity of America’s involvement in Vietnam? What is Johnson’s position on Vietnam as a country and why is it necessary for America to “fix” it? How does King view the problems at home (in America) versus the problems in Vietnam? Does King believe the Vietnamese have the right to follow communism? Why? Other than The Age of Great Dreams, no outside sources can be used. This essay must be typed in MLA format, 1200-words MINIMUM, and turned in online to Canvas.

In class we have read and talked about two types of factors that affect student success:  resources (such as money, supplies, funding to pay teachers) and a student’s mindset (such as confidence, beliefs about education, family experience).  Which do you think is a more important factor in student success:  resources or a student’s mindset?  Or, do you think these factors are equally important?  Why? “Re-see” your essay: I will expect your revision to be significantly different from your first draft.    Remember that in academic writing, we are respond to other people’s ideas and arguments about our topic.  So, in order to “re-see” your essay, you will need to re-read at least parts of James Vaznis and David Gardner’s articles.    Guidelines: You must use examples or ideas from “Struggling Brockton Schools May Sue the State” by James Vaznis and/or “Confronting the Achievement Gap” by David Gardner. A substantial part of your essay (at least a full paragraph or two) should respond to one of these texts.  You are also welcome to use any other examples you like, including your own experience.    You must use quotations from at least one article we read.
