Project Guidelines and Rubric
Competencies
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competencies:
·    Analyze written works using critical reading techniques
·    Explain, in a written communication, a writer’s choices in relation to a specific audience, purpose, and subject
·    Adapt the writing process to various writing situations
Overview
Analysis is an essential life skill. You have likely performed analysis and not called it that. Maybe you are a social worker, and you went to a home visit and then had to create a report; you had to record or remember the details and analyze what happened before you could summarize the event and explain the actions you took. Maybe you were a soldier on a mission for the military and were asked to complete an after-action review (AAR). Maybe you wanted to write a letter to a community organization explaining how volunteering for them was a meaningful and rewarding experience for you.
In each of these cases, you had to think carefully about the situation, gather the most important information around a central idea you wanted to share, and then think about how your specific audience would need to have that information presented to them. Sometimes, you need to communicate to multiple audiences, and each audience needs to have that letter or report presented in a new way just for them.
In this project, we are pulling together all the skills you’ve learned in this course to help you show that you understand how to do a close, critical reading and analyze what is being communicated and to whom. You will also show that you can assemble an analysis that shares that central idea and how it works, and you can communicate that analysis with specific audiences, customizing it for the audience who needs it. As you can see, this assignment prepares you for a range of writing projects and tasks in other courses and in your personal life, career, and workplace. We hope you enjoy completing it.
Directions
For your project, you will create two versions of the same paper, an analysis of a written work. In the first version, you will explain the writer’s choices in relation to genre, audience, purpose, and subject. You will also write about the core idea of the text as well as the details that support it. To create this first version, revise the draft you wrote earlier in the course using the feedback you received from your instructor. Your instructor will evaluate this version based on your analysis of the text and on how you use evidence from the text to support it.
For the second version, you will adapt what you have written to a different audience and writing situation of your choice. This means making changes throughout your paper to adapt your writing style and conventions based on the needs of the audience and situation. Therefore, you will use the first version of your paper as the foundation for the second version. Your instructor will evaluate this version based on how you adapt your writing.
Use either the APA or MLA template linked in the What to Submit section to complete your project.
Specifically, you must address the following:
Part One: Analysis of a Written Work for a First Audience
In this section, you will analyze a written work and explain some of the writer’s choices. This is the first version of your paper. The audience for this version is the one you addressed in the draft you wrote in Module Five. This part of your project should be about 1 to 2 pages long.
1.    Identify the topic of the text.
2.    Explain the writer’s choices in relation to the genre of the text.
3.    Describe the writer’s purpose.
4.    Explain the writer’s choices in relation to the audience, purpose, and/or subject of the text.
5.    Determine the historical and/or cultural context of the text.
6.    Articulate the core idea of the text.
7.    Summarize details of the text that are relevant to the core idea.
8.    Support your analysis of the core idea with evidence from the text.
A.   Include at least one quote from the text.
B.    Explain how this evidence supports the core idea.
Part Two: Analysis of a Written Work for a Second Audience
This is the second version of your paper. In this version, you will first choose and describe the new audience and writing situation. Then, you will revisit the first version of your paper and make changes to it to adapt your writing style and conventions.
Identify a new audience: Before you get started with your second version, choose a new audience and writing situation by addressing the following items in a few short paragraphs:
1.    Identify an audience for the second version of your paper.
A.   This audience must be different from the one you addressed in the first version of your paper.
2.    Describe the needs of that audience.
3.    Describe the needs of the writing situation for the second version of your paper.
A.   Choose a writing situation different from the one you addressed in the first version of your paper. Then, describe the needs of that writing situation.
Second version of the paper: Now, revisit the analysis you wrote for the first version of your paper. Make changes to it based on the needs of the audience and writing situation you described in the previous section. This part of your project should be about 1 to 2 pages long. Specifically, do the following:
1.    Adapt your writing style based on the needs of your audience.
A.   Adapting your writing will require you to make a significant number of changes. While the core idea of your paper will remain the same, the style that you use to communicate it to your audience will be different. Additionally, the changes you make should be consistent throughout the paper.
2.    Adapt your writing conventions based on the needs of the writing situation.
A.   Adapting your writing will require you to make a significant number of changes. While the core idea of your paper will remain the same, the way that you communicate it to your audience will be different. Additionally, the changes you make should be consistent throughout the paper.
What to Submit
To complete this project, you must submit the following:
Using either the APA template or MLA template, submit your project as a 3- to 5-page Microsoft Word document (with an additional title page and reference page in the case of APA, or a works cited page in the case of MLA) with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. The first and second versions of your paper should be about 1 to 2 pages long each, while the “Identify a new audience” section of Part Two should be addressed in a few short paragraphs. Use evidence from the text to support your paper. Follow APA or MLA citation guidelines when citing the text both throughout and at the end of your project.

What I want exactly is different points tat I will add to my paper. 
1- at least one source say how  how African American studies at universities in the US raised awareness about African American rights and how these studies encouraged activism. 
2- I need at least 2 sources that show how having black skin color (for black Africans) did not bring any inferior feeling to them before colonization. I mean any source that shows how Africans in their culture were happy and accepted their skin color without any  bad feelings about their skin 
3- I want sources about the “inferiority complex” by Frantz Fanon in his book black skin white mask. First, I want direct quotations written by Fanon about the inferiority complex(I want to introduce this theory in the introduction of my paper) 
4- I want any other scholarship at least 2 written by different scholars about the inferiority complex that shows that  Africans felt inferior because of the colonization. 
5-  3 pages with direct quotations and paraphrases from Fanon and any other scholars about “the intermingling of racism and sexualization”.I want to explain what is “the intermingling of racism and sexualization” by Fanon,   but first explain what Fanon means exactly What does intermingling of racism and sexualization mean, Direct quotations from Fanon and you can add some other scholarly views about this topic. I want to add this research to prove what I am writing about. I am writing that some films portray Black characters men and women with Hypersexuality. I want to say that this is because of the colonial ideas that were transferred to films after colonization and even after independence in Egypt. Try to connect the idea of the intermingling of sexuality with the representation of Black people as hyper-sexual in some modern films. 
6- I want to write about the idea of the otherness of Black people from Fanon’s perspective, but this time I want to apply it to the representation of Black people in Arabic literature. I want you to help me with applying this idea to Arabic literature. How do I say or apply his view of otherness to Arabic literature 
for example the story represents the black Afro-Arab with inferiority ( here ow I can explain more and use Fanon’s ideas about otherness. at least one page. 
7- I  want at least 2 academic sources about how European colonization represented Africans as less human, hypersexual, and inferior. because I am writing this claim and I want sources to support my claim.

Assignment 3
:
Many years ago, I read the following very interesting and very
controversial books, which argue that complex life is very rare and
that we are very likely alone in the universe.  I read the books with
great skepticism, having heard the argument that there are billions of
galaxies and, so, statistically, it is very likely that there is complex
life elsewhere in the universe.  What do you think?  You will be asked
to watch a few very interesting videos about this idea.
Watch the following videos and write a 1/2 page DOUBLE SPACED
(or as much as you wish to write) summary and reaction to each video:
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wa1l7M5gU8
2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CsLmoiKugE&list=RDLV8wa1l7M5gU8&index=11
3)

Watch the following clips then answer the following questions. 
For the first clip, (The birds- playground scene) break down the scene and describe how the pacing of the editing contributes to the suspense of the scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Du_AC3iKTM0
For the second clip, (the Godfather- Baptism scene) this cutting between simultaneous or related scenes does more than just tell a story.  There is symbolic value.  Briefly describe the symbolic meaning of this clip.  ***Hint Michael is in the process of becoming a “Godfather”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Pf8BkFLBRw
