This week’s Writing Assignment will require you to produce an application letter and a resume, tailored to a specific job and employer. 
For this discussion, conduct a job search for openings and find a job you could reasonably see yourself applying to, either now or after you have earned your degree. (LinkedIn.com and Indeed.com are two popular job search sites, but feel free to use a site of your choosing). 
Next, conduct some background research on the organization you’d like to apply to via websites, social media, or other online sources. (Part 2 of this resourceLinks to an external site. has good ideas, plus additional info that may come in handy on this week’s writing assignment).

A link to the job posting you found and a summary of the job description 
The reason(s) you’d like to apply to a job like this  
One key piece of background research on the employer, and how you might use this info to tailor your cover letter and resume

DISCUSSION POST- OTHER WORDS FOR HOME BY JASMINE WARGA
For this week’s discussion, choose ONE of the following prompts for response. Please indicate which prompt you’re responding to. Your response should be at least one paragraph.
1. Contrast Jude’s relationships with Layla, Sarah, and Miles. What do their actions toward her say about them? Be specific. 2. Look at the passage on pg. 82. Warga writes, “America, I realize, has its sad and tired parts too.” What do you think she means by that? We get this observation from Jude — in what way does her character, and her experience, add additional weight to this statement? 3. “Lucky” is a word Jude encounters in America: “I am learning how to say it/ over and over in English./ I am learning how it tastes— / sweet with promise/ and bitter with responsibility.” What do you think she means by this? Use specific details from the book to explain your response. 4. Why do you think Warga decided to tell Jude’s story in verse? How does this affect your reaction to the story? What do you think the author wanted you to understand about Jude and her family? Why couldn’t she tell you these things in ordinary prose?

Write a 150-word analysis that answers the following questions.
Who is the speaker?
Who is the speaker talking to?
What is the speaker’s purpose?
Speaker: In writing, the speaker is not just a voice , but a crucial element that speaks behind the scenes. It is the narrative voice that conveys a writer’s feelings or situation, shaping the entire story (Literarydevices.net).
Works Cited:

**It is of utmost importance that you do not use any information from outside sources or quote/cite from them in your answer. This challenge is designed to test your understanding and interpretation of the text.
**If you choose to quote from the story, poem, or play, please use this as an opportunity to practice in-text MLA citation format.
To cite a direct quote in proper in-text MLA citation format, add the author’s last name and (if available) the page or line number in parentheses at the end of the quote.
Example: Within the work, the author notes that “she looked at the child in awe” (Blixton 60).

Chose one of the following assignments:
Option 1: If you live in the US, go to the NASS webpage for can I vote or the NCLS webpage for voting outside polling places or your local elections website to find out the voting rules for your state. Develop a flier for other social work students that describes the rules for early voting, absentee voting, and/or mail voting where you live.
Option 2: If you live in Canada, go to the Elections Canada webpage for voter registration to find the voting rules for your country. Develop a flier for other social work students that describes the rules for early voting, absentee voting, and/or mail voting where you live.
Option 3: Choose one of the special populations listed in Lane & Pritzker, Chapter 8, pp. 247-250. Develop a voter education project for that population. Create a flier to be used to share information with them about their rights to vote.
Requirements
Your flier should be 1 page and include both narrative and visual images.
There are many free templates available through Canva.com, Google docs, and other web sources.
You will be assessed based on the accuracy of the information provided and whether it will be understood by readers, but don’t worry–this is not a graphic design course and there is not a grade for artistic effect.
You should include some sort of citation or link to a website at the bottom (doesn’t need to be APA format) for the source of your information.

Your assignment is to write a narrative (story) about your (or a friend’s or family member’s) adventures in your neighborhood. Stick to one specific event that happens in 24 hours or less. Try to give a sense of how people talk as well has how they act. Use description techniques, (review the handout under narration resources) to help build your narrative. 
A narrative essay should recount an experience where you learned something or an experience that changed your life. Make sure your story has a point! Describe what you learned from this experience. Your essay should be clearly organized in time, make a central point, and contain specific details relevant to that point. 
2. Before you begin, brainstorm your topic and consider experiences that covered a brief span of time, from a few minutes to a few hours, basically less than 24 hours. Reflect on the significance of the event or experience. 
To do this, you need to answer the 5 W’s and H about your narrative.
Why it was important?
What happened?
Where did it happen
When did it happen? 
Why did it happen? 
How did it happen? 
3. There are certain features to a narrative essay that should be kept in mind while writing. These are:
The first paragraph should be an introduction, You can follow these basic guidelines: who, what, where, and when.
Use logical ordering of events with a beginning, middle, and end (chronological). 
A narrative essay may be written in the first-person (I) or third-person (he, she, or it) point of view; do not use second person (you).
Include sensory language that appeals to the readers’ five senses, descriptive language
Purposeful dialogue may be included that shows action and not idle conversation, but isn’t mandatory. 
Include all the conventions of a story – plot, setting, characters, climax, and an ending.
Most narratives are told in past tense and in chronological order. You should keep tense consistent.
The conclusion must wrap up the story and include what you learned or realized from this experience
4. Use MLA format, including heading, title, page numbers, Times New Roman, size 12 font, and double space. 
Minimum Requirements
For a C or above, your essay must:
Be 800 words long and formatted according to MLA guidelines.
Focus on a thesis that includes the overall theme and/or lesson learned.
Maintain coherent organization with the use of topic sentences for each body paragraph.
Use descriptive techniques with subjective and objective descriptions. 
Incorporate at least two metaphors or similes.
Incorporate two examples of personification. 
Be written effectively and coherently, with few punctuation or grammatical errors.
Not use outside sources, AI, or the Internet to write the paper. Any use of these tools will earn an automatic zero

Watch this Ted-Ed Talk by Rebecca L. WalkerLinks to an external site.. 
Write one paragraph explaining the author’s main idea and main supporting points in your own words.
Then, write a second paragraph in which you present your own observations, opinion, and/or experiences related to this issue.

In this module, we start the synthesis paper, which is 25%  of the class grade. In this essay, you all will create an argument in response to one of two questions about effective ways of writing and, throughout the essay, will establish your credibility, your ethos, by providing a section that informs your reader about the topic, two sections defending your claim, and a section acknowledging and responding to the opinions of others.  You all will also provide evidence for your claim using other sources, you will address an academic audience, and you will establish a clear purpose: to argue a position. If all of this seems familiar, it is because you all are applying the academic writing standards discussed in the beginning of the course and evaluated in the previous essay.
For this essay, I am not requiring an outline but will provide one for those who would like to use it. This module’s discussion board is meant to act as another form of prewriting that will familiarize you all with the sources available to back up or develop your thoughts in essay three and to plot your course using them. To accomplish this, you all will be completing an exercise that combines two familiar composition techniques.  The first is somewhat of an abbreviated outline, and the second emulates an annotated bibliography, which is often used to help students evaluate and plot the placement of sources. The main idea behind this is to examine the sources closely and decide what information will fit best where.  Many of my students express frustration with not knowing what kind of information to borrow and include in their essays, and this exercise tends to exactly that. Normally an annotated bibliography would also provide a summary of each source, but you all did that for some of them last week.  After this, the hardest part is over and all that is left is filling in your own thoughts.  Many English 1023 teachers assign annotated bibliographies, in their complete form, so please use this as an opportunity to prepare for what might come. 
I am also releasing some supplementary web sites and videos on argumentation.  As you all complete this essay, remember that it is important to formulate your own opinion before seeking the opinion of others; in any paper such as this, though, your opinion might change, and that is perfectly fine.  I created these prompts, these questions (each of you has the option to respond to one of two prompts), because the topic is relatable to you all, which will hopefully make the assignment somewhat easier.  Please make sure to read and observe the guidelines and regulations on the assignment sheet; the regulations for this essay, the synthesis paper that requires you all incorporate a minimum of three sources in an essay of a set length, are the standard requirements for all English 1013 courses. My best advice in creating this essay is to use what you know! Based on you all’s experiences using the process throughout this semester, everyone should be able to write essay with no sources at all (but don’t do that), which is all part of the plan: I wanted to reinforce the idea that personal opinions and experiences are important and are used in all forms of communication, but how you all present those opinions is what matters.  

I need some revisions done on my paper. below is the feedback I received.
” I do not see linkage to your institution, nor do I see how the topic links to your PoP and how you will address it”
I would like to add the following;
Institute background information: We can call it KEU (Kuwait English University) not its real name, because we can’t use its real name.
Private university competing with other universities to gain students. All students are privileged and are sponsored by the government. Students in Kuwait are actually paid by the government to study.
New PoP: How do I influence/persuade/ motivate/ instructors to embrace a student-centered approach in Higher Education?
1 problem – attracting students
2 problem – new program
