Respond to the following prompts in at least two well-developed paragraphs (not including the copied-and-pasted material from your secondary source):

Discussion 2 

 An Annotated Bibliography organizes your research by way of APA citations and a short paragraph about each source. For this Assignment, you will create an Annotated Bibliography for four sources related to an argument for change. One of the sources should address an opposing viewpoint or misconception related to your topic. Your instructor will provide insightful feedback on the sources you find so you can determine whether to use them in the Unit 8 Assignment, a persuasive research essay.

The following aspects are required for your Annotated Bibliography Assignment:

• Title page in APA manuscript format.
• Your revised thesis statement for an argument for change in your community or workplace.
• Four primary and secondary sources; one source should be a periodical or ebook, preferably from the Kaplan Library.
• Sources that would be appropriate are as follows:
• Book, ebook, article, or a chapter from book or ebook
• Periodical (e.g., newspaper, magazine, journal article)
• Internet source (e.g., blog, organization website, article from Internet site)
• Video or audio source (e.g., documentary, video blog, TED Talks , podcast)
• A primary source in which the authors of the content are the primary researchers (the ones who conducted research), e.g., a government report, case study, or speech
• At least one source should address an opposing viewpoint or misconception.
• APA citation for each source (this is the information you would normally include on a references page).
• Annotation for each source, which must include each of the following in a full paragraph:
• Brief summary of the source (no direct quotes from the source) and a parenthetical citation after the summary, e.g., (Smith, 2014)
• Evaluation of the source’s credibility, including the author’s credentials and the verifiability of the source’s information; this should include where you found the source (KU Library, Google search engine, government website, etc.)
• Discussion about the source’s usefulness to your argument for change in your community or workplace
• All writing must be in Standard American English.
• Use APA manuscript format throughout the Assignment.

Note: The thesis statement should be at the end of the first paragraph

Coetzee, Life and Times of Michael K

The Reading Response Journal will consist of 1000 word (maximum) informal responses to each of the current week’s readings. There is no specific prompt for the journal. It is also not a writing exercise that asks you to summarize the reading. Think of it as a space in which you reflect upon and think through what you’ve read–as a space in which you write about the questions, ideas, concerns, etc. raised for you in your reading of the text. 

Use the EBSCO host link to find the following article:

Lun, J., Sinclair, S., & Cogburn, C. (2009). Cultural stereotypes and the self: A closer examination of implicit self-stereotyping. Basic & Applied Social Psychology, 31(2), 117-127. doi:10.1080/01973530902880340

Summarizing a published work

Your initial post should respond to each of following discussion elements:

Step 1: Summarizing a source

Write a brief summary of the argument presented in the article above. Remember that summaries do not go into great detail. Your summary should have enough information for the reader to understand the focus (thesis) of the article and how the author supports the thesis. Your summary should contain all the following elements:

• Introduce the article by its author and title
• Explain the author’s argument (what does the author claim and what are the supporting reasons)
• What the does article tell us about individuality or identity?
• Use in-text citations to identify when you are using the author’s ideas.
• Quote a passage that struck you as interesting or enlightening and explain why.
• 1. Introduce the quotation carefully with a signal phrase, such as, “Lun, Sinclair, & Cogburn explain that…”, and
  2. Include an in-text citation including a page number to cite your quotation.

Step 2: Examining Different Viewpoints

One of the most interesting things about stereotypes is how they can affect the actions of those who have been stereotyped. Think of a stereotype you’re familiar with.

• Which came first, the label or the trait?
• How can the things that other people say about us affect who we become?

Step 3: Create a References Page

At the end of your discussion post, create a references page:

• Type the word “References”
• Enter a line break
• Provide the full citation (in APA format) for your selected text.

UNIT 3.2 DB: CREATE YOUR OWN PIECE OF CREATIVE NONFICTION

Now it is time to show both your creativity and your newly learned expertise about creative nonfiction.

• Create a brief, original story about a true, nonfiction, out of the ordinary experience and use a creative format to convey it to your audience. Think about “The Man on the Tracks,” and how that author took a shocking experience and wrote a creative piece to express the tale.
• This experience does not have to have a supernatural connection, but if you have a paranormal tale to tell, then feel free to use it.
• Peer Response: Respond to at least two of your peers and reflect on their effectiveness in being creative and in relaying their tale. What details are present on which they could have expanded? What aspects of the story really worked? Do you have any further questions about the incident?

Answer to question 1:

With a changed mindset and clear conscience, I can now say that literature and film support each other in a way that is beyond human justification. Through literature, religious beliefs are made clear, and through religion, inspiration is developed for the production of relevant science fiction films. I also realized that the relevance of science in fiction films is not in the name given to them but is in their contents. Just because the word “fiction” is used in the name does not mean that the contents of a science fiction film are false.

In the course of my study, I found David Loy’s book `The World Is Made Of Stories’ most interesting.  He posits that the world is full of stories that range from cultural beliefs, myths, soap operas, novels poems, scientific data, and talk shows.  His assumption is that these stories teach people what is real, valuable, and possible. Moreover, he stated that stories are key to what gives life and meaning. 

Holy Clues definitely opened up my eyes to a new way of looking at Sherlock Holmes, almost as a prophet, priest, or messiah whose life is dedicated to the almost religious pursuit of truth. 

Sacred Terror examined the religious elements lurking in horror films.  By emphasizing the success of horror movies with religious themes Cowan proved that religion is very alive in the American culture.
