You will accomplish several tasks with this first assignment in the course. The first task is to introduce yourself to Instructional Design Community of Practice (ID CoP) located in the Commons if you haven’t already done so. The link is available in this week’s resources.

In doing so, you will begin or extend your own community of practice and support from your peers. Almost everything is more fun when you are joined by a friend. Whether you meet students who live around the world or around the corner, you will find that they have different perspectives borne from their own lived experiences. Your neighbors near and far will help you develop and hone your understanding and application of diversity, equity, and inclusion through design.

You will also explore your own motivation for engaging in your degree program. What brought you back to school? Is your return [to school] related to any economic, employment, educational, or other trends you have noticed? Whatever the degree program in which you are engaged, and whatever you already know or don’t know about ID, connecting with other educators and designers is a good idea. Read the introductions of others in this community; what similarities and differences do you see?

Follow these steps to complete and submit your assignment:

Compose your introduction in a document. Share as much personal information as you are comfortable, and be sure to address your motivation for returning to school.
Use the link included in this week’s resources to access the  ID CoP conversation for this assignment.
Copy the text of your introduction from the document and paste the text as a reply to the conversation titled, “ID-5000 Week 1: Relate to Others through the ID-CoP.” Remember, a link to this conversation is posted in the resources section.
Tag your professor in your post using the “@” sign followed by your professor’s name. The job aid, Tagging in the Commons, is available in this week’s resources if you need help.
After confirming that your reply posted, copy the hyperlink to the conversation into the same document in which you originally composed your introduction. This document, with both your introduction and the hyperlink to your specific post, is what you will submit to this week’s Dropbox.
If you have trouble posting your reply, you may need to “Join” the ID CoP group. You can find additional help at the bottom of any page in the Commons; a link to this general help page is included in this week’s resources in addition to a job aid specific to tagging someone in a post.

The Module 3 Case study is an Argumentative essay in which the writer takes a stance on technology and children and provides three or more supporting points as support.
After reflecting on “The Impact of Technology on the Developing Child” and “Is the Internet hurting children?" write a well-organized and well-supported essay on technology and children.
A well-organized essay has a beginning, middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your reader’s attention. Follow the opening sentence with a brief background on the topic or situation. In this case, it would be brief summary on technology and children today. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be a statement affirming the impact of technology on children today.
A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. For this essay, you must decide the best way to organize the body of the paper. Will you have one or two paragraphs for each supporting point? Will you divide the body of your paper into three or more paragraphs, one for each point? In any case, each body paragraph must support (explain) your reasoning (rationale) using specific details. Each body paragraph must have a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph, which in this case would be each supporting point.
This essay must include no fewer than EIGHT citations from:
ONE of the assigned background materials for Module 3 and
ONE additional credible and reliable source selected by the student.
Citations are to be a combination of direct quotations and paraphrased quotations with or without the author's name.
The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay and/or closes with a lasting impression that connects the reader to their world. In this case, where do we go from here?
The essay must also include a Reference List.
Be sure to proofread your essay and edit for proper grammar, punctuation, diction (word choice), and spelling, as errors in sentence skills will lower a final grade. A grade will be determined based on the Module 3 Case expectations and the Trident University General Education rubric for English.
Papers must be double-spaced in Times or Times New Roman font (12 cpi) with standard one-inch margins.
The first person "I" is not used in a formal essay.
Assignment Expectations
Write an essay (no fewer than five pages in length) that states an original thesis statement on technology and children.
Demonstrate the ability to make and support an Argumentative claim in a well-supported, organized, and cohesive essay.

-Important: for your secondary sources this essay, you may use any of the articles or lecture notes posted in D2L in modules 5 & 6. I've posted several good articles to assist with your analysis and from which you can provide quotes and support for your argument (please note that scholarly articles were not available for "The Lanyard," "A Brave and Startling Truth," or "The Portrait"). You may search other databases through the UNG Libraries online feature (Galileo, etc) if you're interested in those poems.

Caution: Please do not use any .com websites; sites such as Schmoop, Sparknotes, or Litcharts, etc. are highly frowned upon.

Poetry Analysis topics (choose one):

Choose two poems to discuss.

2. How does the poetry of Langston Hughes respond to themes of universal brotherhood and democracy developed in the poetry of Walt Whitman? Choose two poems to discuss.

3. Compare how two of the following poets--Collins, Hayden, Kunitz, Hughes--use poetic elements (sound patterns, figurative language, structure, etc.), symbols, and the theme of memory in their poems--("The Portrait," "Mother to Son," "Those Winter Sundays" and "The Lanyard")--to express the nature of familial relationships. Choose two from the poems in parentheses to discuss.

4. Identify the central themes of two related poems by two different authors and discuss how the poets reveal these themes through an analysis of the literary elements (such as parts of the poem, sound patterns, figurative language, and poetic devices) and any other aspects (symbolism, historical context, structure, etc.) you feel contribute to the overall meaning you wish to discuss. Draw comparisons and contrasts between the two poems where you are able.

You may choose your own topic, but make sure you have a strong thesis that you can prove with textual evidence.

Short Quotations:

When using short (fewer than three lines of verse) quotations from poetry, mark breaks in verse with a slash, ( / ), at the end of each line of verse (a space should precede and follow the slash). If a stanza break occurs during the quotation, use a double slash ( // ).

Cullen concludes, "Of all the things that happened there / That's all I remember" (11-12).

Long Quotations:

When citing long sections of poetry (four lines of verse or more), keep formatting as close to the original as possible. (Note: Use long quotations very sparingly. I would prefer you break the lines up and analyze in shorter sections).

In his poem "My Papa's Waltz," Theodore Roethke explores his childhood with his father:
The whiskey on your breath
Could make a small boy dizzy;
But I hung on like death:
Such waltzing was not easy.
We Romped until the pans
Slid from the kitchen shelf;
My mother's countenance
Could not unfrown itself. (qtd. in Shrodes, Finestone, Shugrue 202)

Instructions from the instructor:
Submit your Annotated Bibliography (5 entries) in the correct MLA format. Read the assigned chapters and study the examples.
(You are welcome to use one of your evaluations from Week Four, Evaluation Discussions #1 or #2, as part of this assignment.)

Assignment:

Reading:
1. Chapter 52, Evaluating Sources.
(In Chapter 52, pay special attention to the questions and instructions on pgs. 416-417 and 420-421. Actually, in order to write a successful Annotated Bibliography, it is important that you study the entire chapter carefully. In addition to ansewring CRAPP test questions, put each of your 5 sources to the test of the questions and instructions throughout the chapter.) 
2. All the Week Four Tutorials
3. Sample Annotated Bibliographies
4. MLA Formatting (See Sample Paper at the end of the the MLA chapters in Rules for Writers.)

Pre-writing/taking notes:
This is a formal assignment. I suggest using pre-writing techniques and writing a draft. Use the  questions on the CRAPP Worksheet to evaluate your sources. Write down you answers in your Reseacrh Log.
For your formal entries, though, do not use the Worksheet question and answer format. An Annotated Bibliography is written in paragraph form using carefully crafted prose, as with any other academic work. (See the sample Annotated Bibliographies.)

Instructions:
For this assignment you will compile an annotated document evaluating several potential sources. These may include academic journals, professional journals and magazines, books, organization literature, government reports, video, documentaries, websites, etc.
Include at least one book, one website and one peer-reviewed, scholarly article.

Try to spend a one half a page on each article, providing information in the following areas:
•    brief summary
•    reliability/validity of the article
•    relation to ideas in other sources
•    implications for your research
Present your information as a document for an imagined researcher following in your footsteps. Put your name, the date, and the tentative research question or title written up at the top of the page. Use headings and subheadings, bullets or numbering if needed.  List the entries in proper MLA bibliographic form. Alphabetize the bibliography as for "Works Cited."
The whole annotated bibliography is double-spaced and alphabetized. Don’t add extra spaces between entries.
You should give your annotated bibliography a real title. Try something like this: Ma Rainey’s Blues and Feminism: An Annotated Bibliography.

Notes:
Though you are required to turn in only a few source entries for this assignment, I highly recommend annotating all the sources you are considering. This is a part of  the research process and you will be asked to provide this type of bibliography in many academic situations. (In many disciplines, this is known as a Review of the Literature.)

This assignment is for you: It is an important part of your research materials. This bibliography will be instrumental in organizing your paper later on. Use it. You will be able to quickly review and decide how you will use each source. It can also spark new ideas and connections when you get stuck.
