This is a term paper that is meant to bring together everything we have learned over the four years we have attended college. The focus of this paper is on the effect massincarceration in African American communities has on the children of those incarcerated and how they turn to drugs because of it. All term papers must have an argument or answer a question. So the question here would be why do they turn to drugs? What drugs do they turn to?

2. Write a 2-3 page essay explaining the techniques used to create your ad and why you used those techniques to achieve your purpose and appeal to your target audience.Part I: The Advertisement
Your advertisement should be designed for distribution as an 8.5×11 poster or flyer. The ad may include images, and MUST include text. Your ad should use techniques of persuasive language we have studied during the last few weeks, such as slanting, propaganda, and weasel words. Think about how those techniques could be used in support of a good cause. Refer to the examples on pages 258-259 in Language Awareness for help. As you work, remember that advocacy advertisements often use:
language and images that appeal to a readers emotions and values
slogans or condensed thesis statements in eye-catching type
bulleted lists or sidebars with supporting points, reasons, or facts
a direct call for action (donate!)The following questions may help you design your ad:
Who is your target audience? What do they value? How can you appeal to them?
How could charged language or propaganda techniques be used to give urgency to the issue or appeal to readers to take action?
Where can you use emphasis to highlight the parts or main points of the argument?
Can any part of this argument be presented as a slogan or memorable catchphrase?
How could photos or other graphic elements establish and give presence to the problem?
How can the use of color enhance the ads effectiveness?
How should things be arranged on the page to catch attention, make the most sense, and have the most impact for the audience?Part II: The Essay
Your essay should analyze the advertisement you created by identifying the techniques you used to create the ad and explaining why you used those techniques to appeal to your target audience. In other words, the essay should explain the choices you made in the ad and why you think they will persuade the audience to take action.Before you write the essay, consider the following:
1. What is your advertisements purpose and argument?
2. Who is the ads intended audience?
3. What values or emotions does the ad appeal to?
4. What strategies did you use to appeal to your target audience?
a. Charged words, emphasis, selection of facts, weasel words, and/or specific propaganda techniques
b. Visual design elements: images, layout, color
5. How does the ad convey the action it is urging your audience to take?
6. What do you feel is strongest about your finished ad? What did you find most challenging?
7. Do you feel your use of propaganda or persuasive language techniques is justified, given that it is in support of a good cause?
Then write a 2-3 page essay that includes the following elements: Introduction:
Introduce the issue you are advocating for. Briefly describe the ad you created, summarize its purpose and argument, and identify its target audience.
Assert your thesisa claim about the overall effectiveness of the finished adhighlighting two or more features of the ad that you will focus on in your essay.
Body:
Develop and support the claim made in your thesis. Explain the strategies you used to appeal to your target audience and its values. (Refer to questions 2-5 above)
Identify specific techniques you used to urge action from your audience (types of slanting, weasel words, types of propaganda).
Discuss the ads use of visual design: images, layout, color.
Support your points by referring to specific details from the ad.
Conclusion:
Wrap up your analysis. (Refer to questions 6-7 above)
For this major assignment, you are going to construct an imaginary interview with the author “Rita Dove” . The Writers on Writers essays, spread throughout the textbook, may provide inspiration in that one writer is reflecting on anothers work. You are to compose ten literature-related questions for your author, and you will provide answers as if you are the author. In addition to reading the authors headnote in our text, you may also read other biographical materials on the author. This will help you formulate an idea of how the author would respond to criticism on their work. Of your ten interview questions, at least two must ask a question and thus provide an answer about at least two secondary sources who have written about one or more of the authors texts. Thesesecondary sources must be criticism found in peer-reviewed, scholarly journals. You will retrieve the articles from Warners databases. Remember, criticism is not a negative thingit is merely the art or practice of judging and commenting on the qualities and character of literary works. Imagine how the author would respond to this criticism. Write a solid response paragraph (6-8 sentences) for each question.
Example:If I were interviewing Gwendolyn Brooks, I could ask her about where she grew up and its influence.Me: Ms. Brooks, how did growing up and living on Chicagos South Side affect your writing?Brooks: There were many influences to my writing career: my parents and our church were majors ones, but location was another. My first book of poetry A Street in Bronzeville was heavily influenced by the people, places, and events I witnessed in that area of Chicago. One poem in which this influence is seen is We Real Cool. I was driving past The Golden Shovel, a pool hall, in the middle of the day and saw these young men playing pool while they should have been in school. The poem became a commentary on truancy and how it can affect someones future. Living and working in Chicago kept me in touch with the people who lived there and allowed me to tell their unique stories to the world. I made it my lifes work to reveal how the material conditions of their lives affected them.
Example of question engaging a secondary source:If I were interviewing Charlotte Perkins Gilman and asking her about theories on mothering, I could reference Catherine Goldens article Light of the Home, Light of the World: The Presentation of Motherhood in Gilmans Short Fiction and ask the following question:Me: Ms. Gilman, Catherine Golden argues that your work establishes motherhood as a collective political action. Ms. Gilman: The narrator experiences intense personal struggle because she lacks the collectivist culture that mothers desperately need. The narrator is suffering from post- partum depression, but her condition is made worse because of a rest cure that isolates her from others and prohibits her creative impulses. If she had women in her life who she could confide in and ones who did not fear subverting patriarchy, she would not have felt so entrapped. She might have been able to speak up for herself, knowing she had support. Together, she and these women would have changed their small sphere of influence. Inthis light, I agree with Goldens assertion about my work because political action grows from small pockets of people working toward a larger social or political goal.

Thank you The two famous paintings – Entombment of Christ(Italian Baroque), ca. 1602 oil on canvas, 300 x 203 cm (Pinacoteca Vaticana, Vatican City) of Michelangelo da Caravaggio and Autumn Rhythm (Number 30) (Abstract Expressionism), 1950 enamel on canvas 105 x 207 in. (266.7 x 525.8 cm) of Jackson Pollock share Dramatic expression theme. Both paintings are expressed in high contrast between light and dark. The sense of presence and deep involvement are offered in both these Art works. Caravaggio in his Entombment of Christ uses sharp contrasts of black background and very bright spotlights on human figures. This effect attracts all the attention to the figures and looks very dramatic. Feel of motion is also displayed in Entombment of Christ. Carravaggio used an effect of interlocking diagonals to transcribe the sense of the lowering of Christ in to the tomb. This very real feel of the action involves the viewer in what is happening in painting. Jackson Pollock in his Autumn Rhythm uses abrupt transition from light to dark and from very light colors to very saturated colors. Dark and light in this painting is next to each which gives Drama feel. The lines in painting move in all the directions and constantly change in their appearance- wide and thin; straight and curved; delicate and bold. There is no distinct composition elements. The entire painting is composed of current of changing lines and contrast of light and dark. This makes the viewer eye constantly wonder thru the painting without possibility to stop on something in particular. This constant move of the viewers attention give very deep involvement in the action of painting.

Week 8: HIT Support of Evidence-Based Practice
Nurses working in the recovery room at City Hospital received many complaints from patients who were required to void prior to being released. The nurses also questioned this requirement and decided to explore current best practices based on research evidence. Using the hospitals health information technology, they located current research indicating that City Hospitals policy was out of date and that research evidence no longer supported this practice. As a result of accessing and utilizing health information technology to locate evidence-based research, new practice guidelines were crafted and adopted.This week you evaluate evidence available through health information technology and consider how health information technology supports evidence-based practice.

Discussion: Using Health Information Technology as a Source of Evidence-Based Practice
Before the digital revolution, health information technology supplied very limited support for evidence-based practice. If nurses wanted to be informed about cutting-edge research, their best bet was to either subscribe to leading journals or make periodic trips to the library. With the establishment of research databases, however, nurses became empowered to learn about and facilitate interdisciplinary and translational research. Databases are just one example of how health information technology supports evidence-based practice.
To prepare:
Read the following scenario from the text (McGonigle & Mastrian, 2018, p. 506):
Twelve-hour shifts are problematic for patient and nurse safety, and yet hospitals continue to keep the 12-hour shift schedule. In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (Board on Health Care Services & Institute of Medicine, 2004) published a report that referred to studies as early as 1988 that discussed the negative effects of rotating shifts on intervention accuracy. Workers with 12-hour shifts realized more fatigue than workers on 8-hour shifts. In another study done in Turkey by Ilhan, Durukan, Aras, Turkcuoglu, and Aygun (2006), factors relating to increased risk for injury were age of 24 or less, less than 4 years of nursing experience, working in the surgical intensive care units, and working for more than 8 hours.
Consider how the resources identified in the scenario above could influence an organizations practice.
Select an issue in your practice that is of concern to you. Using health information technology, locate at least three evidence-based practice resources that address your concern and that could possibly inform further action.
By Day 3
Post a description of your practice concern. Outline how you used health information technology to locate evidence-based practices that address this concern. Cite and include insights from the resources. Analyze how health information technology supports evidence-based practice.
Read a selection of your colleagues responses. Focus particularly on those questions raised to which you can add comments based on shared experiences or situations. Consider how your colleagues postings reflect and/or differ from your own perceptions and opinions. Review the Learning Resources for any clarification needed before responding.
