I have to write a 4-5 page evaluation essay on a topic. I chose the animated short film “Walt Disney Short Film: Paperman”
The evaluation essay should focus on judging something according to a certain criteria. Some criteria you could consider evaluating through this animated film is the acting, sound, directing, engagement and also how the animated short worked together to create meaning. The essay should have a thesis statement and a “so what” moment.
Here’s the copy to the short film https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrqSF2OOz_M

“The Evolving Effects of Technology on Generational Differences: An Updated Analysis of Twenge’s Findings”
Final Project
For the final project of the semester, your task is to contribute to the scholarly research begun by
Twenge. You will extend her analysis by creating an “updated edition” of her text. Since her book was
published in 2017, certainly some things have changed, particularly due to the effects of Covid.
Your task is to pick any subtopic from the book, summarize Twenge’s main findings, and explore how
things have changed by using information and resources from after 2018. Think back to what ideas and
findings from the book have interested you most, what have stirred the most debate, what affect you
personally, or what you have agreed or disagreed with most. These will probably get you excited to dive
more deeply into these topics and enjoy the last few weeks of class.
You will obviously seek secondary research from our databases or other sources, but you may also use
some primary research techniques if you wish (observations, interviews, surveys). Just make sure your
methodology is thorough and fair, and your reporting is accurate. You will also create at least one chart
or graph to be inserted into your paper. This can be one you cite from a secondary source or one you
create through primary research.
This is a scholarly project, so be sure to follow Twenge’s model for professionalism.
The assignment will be 1,000 words in length, will have at least 4 sources on a References page (which
are not part of the word count), and will be formatted in APA style. (PLEASE GET DONE BY 12AMWILL TIP ON CASHAPP OR ZELLE) -
“Profiles in Philadelphia: Exploring the Lives and Legacies of Prominent Philadelphians” “Discovering Philadelphia: A Synthesis Profile Paper”
The paper should capture the individual’s most important contributions to Philadelphia and (if possible) America’s life and society, along with critical events that prepared, led up to, or otherwise qualified that individual by training, employment, or experience, for a place on the public stage. Be creative. Writing “profile pieces” is something of an art: It is similar to a biography in that it requires historical perspective and an eye for human character as well as an understanding of how private life can influence public behavior. Directions: Check the Writing Conference schedule for your time slot for our meeting (if there is a problem, please text or email me). Then, check out the names you have to choose from based on your areas of interest. If necessary, check out those you are interested in by searching Wikipedia for a good, brief biography of the individuals. I have checked out these Philadelphians, so there is definitely sufficient information available for papers on any one of them. Topic: Below your name on the Writing Schedule Sheet is the name and areas of importance of the person about whom you will write your Profile/Analysis Paper. That way you can do a bit of preliminary reading before we talk together about your ideas and approach to the the person. Assignment at a glance: You will submit a formal paper written in the form of a biographical profile that includes a critical analysis of the individual’s importance and reflecting themes, events, or individuals that we have studied this semester. Base your content on at least three academic/peer reviewed sources reference sources and any number of non-scholarly reference sources, about the Philadelphian of your choice. You will submit your paper electronically into Canvas and Vericite. In addition to the paper itself, you will submit a Chronology Separately— including (1) a brief abstract of the key events of the individual’s life (sample abstract and chronology available in Canvas Files). This can be done in a well written paragraph capturing the key contribution(s) of your person, connections to one of our course themes, lasting impact on Philadelphia life, as well as (2) providing a chronological timeline, a bulleted list of the key events in your person’s life. Submit your paper and your abstract/chronology through Canvas and Vericite. Important Note: the purpose of this assignment is not to replicate an existing biography of your subject such as those on Wikipedia or other encyclopedic sources. While you will address aspects of your subject’s life, as with the Philadelphians we have studied, the goal of your “profile” is to capture the “essence” of the individual and make connections to our study by concentrating on key episodes or moments that reveal the character of the individual See assessment rubric for further breakdown of the paper). What to include: The assignment consists of two related parts: the biographical analysis and a chronology of the person’s life. * Profile/Analysis: The paper should review the individual’s life, accomplishments, and contributions to the history of the city. The persons have been chosen and assigned with the central issues of our course in mind. Include information about personal and family life, but do not go into great detail unless there is a clear and significant relationship to the individual’s public life. * Abstract/Chronology: A one-paragraph identification (abstract) of the figure and his or her significance, followed by a short list or timeline of significant dates and events in the individual’s life. The chronology is intended to provide the key “public” information that you may not have touched on in your paper. Format: minimum 1000 words of text (4 to 5 pages), one and one-half-space, 12-point Times New Roman font. Include a title page (with a title, your name, instructor’s name, course name, and date submitted) and a Works Cited page prepared according to MLA format. Title page, illustrations, and reference page do not count toward the word limit. Additionally, Organization, style, spelling, grammar, sentence structure, clarity and concision are all evaluated as part of the overall grade for the assignment. Grade: the grade for your paper will be based upon the scoring rubric that accompanies this assignment (BTW both the assignment and the scoring rubric, along with a sample profile of a Philadelphian are available to you in the Canvas File labeled Synthesis Profile Paper.

Art & Activism Review/Blog Entry
PLEASE USE PICTURES OF THE ARTIST’S ART (Lusophone (Angolan/Brazilian/Portuguese…): Paula Rego, Adriana Varejão, Mónica de Miranda
Francophone (French/Algerian): Kader Attia, Zineb Sedira) YOU’RE EXPLAINING WITH CITATION (IN PDF), thank you :)!
For this exercise in art analysis, take some time to look into the life and work of one of the following artists introduced:
Lusophone (Angolan/Brazilian/Portuguese…): Paula Rego, Adriana Varejão, Mónica de Miranda
Francophone (French/Algerian): Kader Attia, Zineb Sedira
Read at least one essay or introduction to the artist’s life and work. Look through a selection of their works to find ones that are most compelling to you. Pick a couple specific works of art or a series of works to focus on in your blog/review.
Look at the works closely, in terms of what they represent, how they represent, where and for whom and why? Consider how the works may correlate to some of the post-colonial and feminist perspectives and critical concepts discussed in class. How do they work aesthetically? How is the works’ aesthetics linked to ethics? In what ways are these activist works of art? How do they engage with abstract form, material reality, story and history, art history?
As a sort of blog entry or brief review essay, write a personal 1-2 page introduction to the artist (250+ words) focused on close reading of one or two works. Imagine you are writing for an audience beyond the class, contextualizing and commenting on the relevance of this artist. If relevant, you might connect the artist’s work to that of writers (Cardoso or Sebbar). (Cite your sources for info on the artist and include images/links if possible). Draw your reader into your encounter with the artist and your thinking about these critical aspects of the artist’s work. -
