It is especially important to indicate times when it was both difficult and easy to abstain, as well as those specific circumstances during which you slipped (birthdays, holidays, and weekends seem especially difficult). Although daily entries into the log are not required, daily entries have been reported as most helpful by previous students. The log should have a minimum of five entries over the week. The can be hand written (a minimum of one a page per entry).
During this assignment you will (a) write an introductory letter to yourself, (b) keep an abstinence log of your experiences, and (c) write a summary paper which will serve as the conclusion to the 1 week exercise. This assignment will have the following components:
A Letter to myself written in the third person to yourself, explaining why you would benefit by abstaining from the substance/behavior, will completed before the abstinence period begins. (This will be the first part of your paper.)
A summary paper This is to be a minimum two page paper describing the abstinence experience (e.g., did you succeed or fail, what influenced you, what was the process like for you, etc.) and will serve as the conclusion to your overall experience.
1..How the addictive substance/behavior is loved and has caused consequences to your life.

Objectives Identify the anatomical structures of the immune system Describe how immunity works Explain how the immune system contributes to the homeostasis of the body Describe selected immune system diseases and disorders Describe issues and changes related to the immune system at different points in the lifespan Assignment Overview In this writing assignment, you explore the anatomical structures of the immune system and how immunity is affected by diseases and disorders. Deliverables A one- to two-page (250- to 500-word) paper Step 1 Research one disease or disorder of the immune system. (I do not want to see submissions on leukemia. Type I diabetes is acceptable, but not the best choice. If you do your paper on diabetes, the emphasis should be on the immune system aspect of it, not the complications of the disease.) Research an immune system disorder or disease. Write a one-to-two-page (250- to 500-word) paper that addresses the following directions: Describe the disease including the causes, signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures, and potential treatment. Describe the immune system and other organs that are involved or damaged by the disease or disorder. Describe how the immune system works and how it malfunctions in this disease or disorder. Relate it to the normal functioning of immunity. Identify how this disease interferes with the homeostasis of the body. Explain whether this disease is prevalent in a particular phase or age of life.

PromptFor your post, something a little different this week:1. Find a primary source related to the U.S.s role in World War II, or American life on the home front during the war (1941-1945) on the internet. Text, pictures, and even songs on YouTube are okay. Remember that a primary source is something made during the time period – so books and documentaries about World War II are not what we are looking for here. No repeats will be accepted – so make sure to check what your classmates have posted before you post your own contribution, and remember to cite where you found it.2. Write about the source you’ve posted: What does this primary source tell us about? What does it add to how you understand this period? 3. Connect your source to information about the time period that you’ve read from your textbook.

Watch the following video on YouTube (09:38). It’s a primary source, produced in 1943, even though it’s not a reading assignment.https://youtu.be/yVvTk9ThEG42. Post. Your Ws plus analysis. See below. What techniques does it use to convince the viewer that internment was a good idea and a good program? Who do you think the audience for the video was? Do you find it persuasive? Why/why Not? Your task is to focus on Analysis:What does the text tell us about the historical moment? What can it not tell us? What kinds of biases and assumptions are reflected in what the author wrote?

A History of Play, Playing with History
What is the history of games? Is it a history of dates, dollars, and data catalogued on Wikipedia and stored in corporate archives? Or does the history of games include the material traces of conflict minerals, the global circuits of distribution infrastructure, the labor in manufacturing plants, the private memories of domestic play, or the recycling or reuse of game hardware? Moving past what Erkki Huhtamo calls the chronicle era of game history, in this class we will attempt to write a history of a metagame. Not a history of games, but a history of play–a story of the people who play games and your interactions with them. To write your history of play, begin with a paper consisting of (1) Introduction, (2) Original Context, and (3) Community Contribution.
The paper should include the following components as well as at least 2 popular/primary sources, 2 scholarly/secondary sources, and a works cited page: 1. Introduction and Thesis Statement
In a single, exciting paragraph about 250 words long, introduce your topic and provide a thesis statement clearly articulating your overarching argument. Your introduction should let a reader know what specific game and what specific community you are researching, how the community or practice you are discussing transformed the game, and why this example of play has broader significance.
2. Original Context: What is the game?
Provide at least 500 words demonstrating the historical and cultural context in which your metagame is based. Research and clearly articulate the history of the game itself or the games engine, the games design, the games genre, etc. Imagine your reader has never heard of your game, let alone your metagame. Back up your history, ethnography, archival, or other material research with citations from both popular and scholarly sources (see below for details). Avoid random information–be judicious in selecting those aspects of the games context which support your overall thesis.
3. Community Contribution: What is the metagame?
In at least 500 words describe a specific gaming community and how they have transformed a game. How, when, and why did the community begin? Who are the primary actors? What rules did they invent? How do they differ from the way the game is typically played? What specialized materials or technologies are needed to play? And why do you think this type of play is worth analyzing–consider its historical, cultural, political, technical, aesthetic, or experiential consequences of their play. Name specific people who made the metagame!
Formatting and Style
Your final project should be formatted according to MLA style. It should be typed in 12 point double spaced Times New Roman font throughout (for headers, footnotes, works cited, etc.), set with 1 inch margins on all sides, paginated with your last name .5 inches from the top right-hand corner of each page, with footnotes, parenthetical notation, and a works cited. See: https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/
You must demonstrate that your project is informed by a rich historical and theoretical context by including at least 2 scholarly sources and at least 2 popular sources (for a total of at least 4 sources).
There is a difference between using a source as an object of analysis and using a source as a piece of supporting scholarship. For example, popular/primary sources like forum posts, YouTube videos, games journalism articles, etc. can help to contextualize your object of study (e.g. they provide cultural import, historical framing, etc.). This form of research is extremely valuable, however, it does not constitute a scholarly/secondary source like academic research, scholarly monographs, peer-reviewed articles, etc. (i.e., a source which has gone through various forms of vetting and peer review). There can often be ambiguities, particularly in digital media, on what constitutes a primary/popular and secondary/scholarly source! Use your best judgment.
