The Rhetorical Stance

The Rhetorical Stance
Read Booth, “The Rhetorical Stance” and Connors, “Personal Writing Assignments” Booth identifies three “stances” that he has seen in student work. One of these, the “pedant’s stance” (think of the adjective pedantic), might be applied by some to describe much of student academic writing,which has also been described as “arhetorical.” Connors, in his history of “personal writing” assignments, touches upon similar issues in describing various ways teachers have attempted to make school writing relevant and meaningful to students. Connors also describes a “backlash” against personal writing as a remedy.
Drawing upon Booth and Connors (also thinking of Toye Chapter 2), offer an explanation of the causes of the “pedant’s stance” and then suggest some possible remedies (not specific assignments but guiding principles for creating assignments). Your audience are other teachers at an in-service workshop and you are on a panel entitled, “Helping Students Make Meaning that Matters.”
Your presentation should be at least two-doubled spaced pages (about five minutes spoken) and should include an overview of Booth, ideas/commentary from Connors, and a few “bullet point” take-away ideas for the the other teachers.

You have to design a 10 week english teaching program for the group of 25 punjabi community people residing in Australia who are intermediate in level of learning. Basically you have to design a one lesson plan for a week. That means in total you have to design 10 lesson plan to teach these Punjabi students. You have to just cover grammar only. It means you have to design 10 grammar lesson plan. One lesson plan for each week for the class of 25 students and the time should be 2 hrs with a lunch break. But you can also set time according to your lesson plan. You can use direct method of teaching that is English to English as their level is intermediate. You can use a grammar book as a resource, as you have to mention the resource to justify your teaching program. I am also sending you the sample of curriculum design program. They are 5 in total and you can use any one of the sample according to your choice. But you have to mainly focus on the following points while framing this curriculum design project given below
1) Aim
2) Objectives
3) Methodology( what methods you are going to use, example play cards, translation etc)
4) Evaluation ( how you are going to conduct evaluation, example fill ups, true or false etc
While framing the lesson plan you have to be very careful about
1) What kind of teaching methods you are going to use
2) You have to make appropriate questions to keep the learners engaged
3) You have to keep on modifying your teaching methodology
4) Contextual matters weigh a lot.
After designing the 10 lesson plan you have write an essay to justify your lesson plans or curriculum design project. You have to focus on the competence and performance of the students. You have to discuss age issues and socio cultural issue. The essay would be divided in following section given below
1) Introduction
2) Class Profile
3) Need Analysis
4) Situational analysis
5) Theories underpinning the curriculum design
6) Conclusion
The assignment should have a general goal. The topic sentence of the essay should be very clear. All the relevant theories can be discussed together with the previous discussion but you can also have a separate section for it but you have to relate it to the previous discussion. I am also attaching the relevant articles which you can use. For referencing you have to use APA style and it has to be really a correct referencing.

Write a five to seven (5-7) page paper in which you:

1. Establish five (5) key objectives for Eastman Kodak that encompasses the operational, financial, human resource aspects of the business. Next, argue that each of the established objectives is essential to the success of the company within the Cloud service industry.

5. Speculate on the way in which both the corporate-level strategy and the implementation strategy you recommended in Question 2 and Question 4 would support ethical business behaviors. Analyze the significant manner in which ethics, corporate social responsibility, and environmental sustainability impact the implementation of the strategies that you have recommended.

Chapter 4 Case Incident 1: “Is It Okay to Cry at Work?”

Based on what you learned in this chapter and the information provided in this case, write an analysis that addresses the following questions:

What factors do you think make some organizations ineffective at managing emotions?

Do you think the strategic use and display of emotions serve to protect employees, or does covering your true emotions at work lead to more problems than it solves?

Have you ever worked where emotions were used as part of a management style? Describe the advantages and disadvantages of this approach in your experience.

Research shows that acts of coworkers (37 percent) and management (22 percent) cause more negative emotions for employees than do acts of customers (7 percent). What can Laura’s company do to change its emotional climate?

Topic: Thesis Construction

The exercise must be at least 400 words in length (excluding title and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center. Be sure to including a title page and reference page as necessary. Your exercise must be organized to address each of the five parts below. Number each part accordingly.

Part one:Thesis Statement

Use the Thesis Generator in the Ashford Writing Center to construct a thesis statement that articulates your position on the question as you have defined it. This will likely be the last thing you do in this exercise, but your thesis should be placed at the top of the first page after the title page.

Your thesis should clearly state your position and provide a concise statement of the primary reason(s) drawn from the three issues you raise in Part Two. For example, having identified three important issues that need to be considered, you may find that two of them support your view, and while one may present a challenge to it, that challenge can be overcome.

Part Two: Provide a Brief Introduction to the Topic

Your introduction must make clear to the reader exactly what ethical issue or question you are addressing within this topic, and what you consider to be the boundaries of the question.

The final sentence of this paragraph should provide a brief summary of the three ethically significant issues pertaining to this question that you intend to address.

Parts Three, Four, and Five: Explain Three Ethically Significant Issues Pertaining to This Question

An “ethically significant issue” is a feature of the topic and circumstances that must be taken into account when reasoning about the question. For example, if you were writing on criminal punishment and focusing on the question of whether drug users should be imprisoned, ethically significant issues might include the monetary costs, the social costs, the impact on the person, the effect on the drug trade, and so on. And each of these, in turn, would have sub-issues, negative and positive sides, etc. Your task is to be as specific as you can in explaining the ethically significant issue.

The first sentence of each paragraph must be a topic sentence that clearly states what issue you will be considering. The remainder of the paragraph should address the relevance and import of the ethically significant feature of the situation. Each paragraph should be focused on a distinct issue.
