Before beginning Like Water for
Chocolate, we spent about two and a half weeks learning about the
genre of Magical Realism. Some
people believe that is not enough time, and more days should be spent
reading additional short
stories/films before beginning full length text, while others think class time
would
be better spent on later units.
Does a reader need to first learn about the genre of Magical Realism
in order to best understand and
enjoy Like Water for Chocolate?
can you write a essay that a reader does need to learn about magical realism before hand. Make sure to include evidence from the book, and Each body paragraph should consist a topic sentence (T) followedde up of a sentence presenting a concrete detail (CD)  quotation, example from the book, followed by two sentences of commentary on that material (CM), and then repeat the CD and CM agian and then by a concluding sentence (CS).

Touchstone 4: Persuasive Recommendation Report
SCENARIO: Your workplace has experienced significant change recently, and your department is expected to respond to change with innovation. Your immediate manager has asked you to determine one specific innovation for your department; you will be responsible for the implementation of this innovation.
You have already presented your manager with an informative report in which you explored two options for how this innovation might be implemented. Now they would like you to create a recommendation report for the department manager.
ASSIGNMENT: In Unit 3, you revised the informative report in which you researched several methods for implementing your chosen innovation and compared and contrasted two of them based on factors that you chose. In this assignment, you will choose one of these methods and write a persuasive composition in which you aim to persuade your audience that this is the best course of action to take in order to implement your innovation.
Sample Touchstone 4
To write a detailed recommendation, you will need to consider 2-3 criteria that are influencing your recommendation. These should be the same criteria that you evaluated objectively in your comparison/contrast assignment; however, you should look at them through a new lens as you are now aiming to persuade your audience that one method is better suited than the others rather than to inform them about the similarities and differences between the methods.
In addition to advocating for the method you have chosen, you should spend at least one body paragraph acknowledging and responding to any counterarguments you anticipate regarding this method. Think about the method you did not choose and why someone might advocate for that method instead. Address those concerns by demonstrating why the method you have chosen is still the best option. Refer to the Unit 4 lesson called Using Counterarguments for further instruction on addressing these types of arguments in a persuasive composition.

A. Assignment Guidelines
DIRECTIONS: Write a double-spaced 4-6 page (1000-1500 words) persuasive essay in which you:
Use the information you have learned from your informative comparison/contrast report to write a recommendation in which you advocate for one of the methods of implementation that you investigated for your innovation.
The essay must contain a persuasive thesis statement that clearly states the method you think is best and why (the 2-3 criteria that influenced your recommendation).
For example, if you compared and contrasted various instant messaging tools for creating more rapid communication between teams, you could argue in favor of implementing a particular tool due to the fact that it is less expensive and more user-friendly than the other options.
State your persuasive thesis in an introductory paragraph.
Include 5-7 body paragraphs that explore the criteria that led you to advocate for this particular method of implementation, applying and analyzing researched evidence.
Make sure to explain your reasoning and interpretation of your researched evidence, using the techniques of context, translation, and analysis where appropriate.
Address potential counterarguments using logic and evidence.
Cite and reference 2-4 reliable primary or secondary sources that you used to support your argument for this particular method of implementation.
Make sure to integrate your source material effectively, using the techniques of summarizing, paraphrasing, and quoting where appropriate.
End with a concluding paragraph that restates your thesis in different words and provides a concluding thought.
