For this week’s response paper, choose one of the following:

You may base your response paper on any of this week’s discussion board prompts.
Practice the skill of summarizing that is discussed in Chapter 2. Choose either the essay “Gun Debate: Where Is the Middle Ground” (p. 46) or “The

Gay Option” (p. 50). Write two separate paragraphs that demonstrate different ways of summarizing the essay. One paragraph should be a rhetorical

summary; the other should be a referential summary. See pp. 44-45 for an explanation of rhetorical and referential summaries.
Locate an online editorial that interests you. (Be sure to provide me with a link.) Remember that an editorial does not just report on a situation;

the author makes an argument about the situation. Respond to this essay using the “Strategies for Prereading” on p. 35. What can you observe about

the title, the kind of text, the author, the context, and the target audience. If you want to go further in your response, you may also analyze the

editorial’s structure and rhetorical strategies.
Discuss a “graphic”–a chart, diagram, or other visual that presents information. (See the examples on pp. 77 – 78.) Articles in our library’s

“Facts on File” database (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. are an excellent source of such graphics. Once you’ve found a

graphic that interests you, analyze it using the “Reading and Discussion Questions” on p. 79.

Literature

Did the adaptation strive for historical accuracy?

Did it integrate modern elements?

How did the experience of viewing and hearing the play change your perceptions?

Did it succeed in breaking you out of your everyday routine and absorb you in a different, dramatic reality?

In the classical conception of tragedy, the tragic character is destroyed through a “tragic error” of his own making or a “tragic flaw” in his character. What is the nature of the tragic error for Hamlet?

 

One of the primary financial goals of parents is financing a college education for their children. Fulfillment of this objective demands careful planning, prudent investment selection, a sufficient amount of time, and perseverance. Personal financial analysts are often recruited to design and monitor a college funding strategy. Submit a two to four page summary of this planning process, either in general or with reference to a particular case in which you participated. Do not reveal any personal or confidential data.

This the link for the assignment: https://centralstate.schoology.com/system/files/attachments/files/m/201801/course/1348872549/Researched_Analytical_Argument_Prompt_5a70c22bba9e0.doc

An introductory paragraph that provides the background and context necessary for the reader to understand the argument. For this essay, the immediate context of the passage would be especially helpful. The introduction should avoid “fluff,” and there is no need to summarize the text.
A clearly articulated thesis statement that uses tension and makes an analytical claim about how the text should be read.

IT outsourcing has both benefits and drawbacks. Outsourcing can lead to increased profits for customers and vendors, more work for vendors,

and increased revenue generation. On the other hand, outsourcing can result in a product that does not meet the customer’s requirements or

a project that goes beyond the estimated time and cost, to name a few possible outcomes.

For a customer, the decision to outsource is based on the assessment of the benefits and drawbacks of outsourcing. In this assignment, you

will identify the benefits and drawbacks of IT outsourcing. As a project manager, this information will help you decide in favor of or

against outsourcing.

Perform the following tasks:

Research the benefits and drawbacks of IT outsourcing on the Internet and in magazines, journals, and newspapers.
List the benefits and drawbacks of IT outsourcing in a table format.
Report five examples each of the benefits and drawbacks of IT outsourcing.
Submit a 3- to 4-page document containing a generic tabular list of the benefits and drawbacks of IT outsourcing and five examples each of

the benefits and drawbacks. Your document should conform to the APA style.

 

Efficiency and Adaptation
Cooperation and trade are common in the natural world. Based on the cost of production and the constraints presented by the environment, an organism may

be more successful by trading for a product than producing it. In this situation the organism may specialize in one product and trade for another. In

this SLP we will examine an example of trading partners, mycorrhizal fungi and plants, and compare it to the principles of international trade, an

important component of macroeconomics. After you view this tutorial, consider some of the principles it introduced and how they apply to specialization

and trade between the symbiotic partners that make up a mycorrhizal association.
In the videos and tutorials you completed for your Case 3 Assignment, you learned about how plants can utilize sunlight to build sugars. Some of these

sugars are sent to plant roots for growth and storage. Mycorrhizal fungi live within or surrounding plant roots as a symbiosis. Mycorrhizal fungi cannot

make their own food. As fungi, they have the ability to decompose organic (carbon-based) material, but they do not contain chlorophyll and must obtain

carbon directly from the environment (like we do!). The fossil record shows mycorrhizal fungi living in association with the earliest plants,

bryophytes.
In the following image, you can see the cross section of a mycorrhizae root with only the cortical cells of the root being invaded by the fungus. The

large circular cells are the cortical cells and the black areas are the invading fungus. Note, the fungus is invading the root, but not penetrating the

cortical cells.

Scientists believe that this symbiosis may have been key to the success of plants on land. Begin your introduction to this symbiosis at the Compost

Gardener, and be sure to view their video. Next, proceed to this site maintained by the University of Western Australia, School of Plant Biology:

http://mycorrhizas.info/vam.html to complete your research and locate important images for your SLP assignment.
Using the resources provided above, develop a PowerPoint presentation that includes the following:
Slides 1–3
Compose a brief overview of the structure and function of plant roots. Include definitions and images of these terms: epidermis, exodermis, cortex,

endodermis, and root hairs. You can refer to the following resource:
Roots:
http://mycorrhizas.info/root.html
Slides 4–10
Provide an explanation of the symbiosis between mycorrhizal fungi and plant roots. Include definitions and explanation of the differences between

Arbuscularmycorrhiza and Ectomycorrhizal fungi using the following images:

mycorrhizal fungi image 2.pdf
Ectomycorrhizal Associations.pdf
And the websites: http://mycorrhizas.info/vam.html

Slides 11–15
Discussion of the costs and benefits associated with this trade arrangement using the following resources:
