CUSTOMIZE CONTENT: The essay provides logical discussions regarding the elements and controversial aspects associated with the nature/nurture debate. Also included are general discussions regarding twin studies on alcoholism, and a study on kindness in children. Discussions which identify, describe, and compare two specific studies are not fully developed and require additional detail.

This paper is on the book ‘Site’s of Memory’ by Jay Winter. Answer 2 of the 3 questions and follow the prompt as needed. Make sure to focus on the part of the prompt that discusses citations. They are important, and needed in this essay.
Thank you.

It will be graded for: 1-a clear thesis, 2-depth of analysis, and 3-grammatical accuracy.
For an answer in the A range:
Student answers all questions clearly and accurately; answers are well-developed and provide examples and appropriate analytical detail where necessary; answers are well-articulated, and are presented in full, grammatically correct sentences. Answers incorporate quotes and supporting material from text and includes parenthetical references to appropriate page numbers and documentation for outside sources.

Do not make any claim or argument without some supporting evidence based on quotations. You MUST cite the page numbers in parentheses after the citation from the book (whenever possible). Your answers should show your command of the text. Quotes should have relevance. Do not use quotes that are “toss-aways”-meaning you picked some quote, any quote, because you writing at the last minute.

Your grammar, sentence structure, and paragraph structure are part of your grade. I prefer you use 12 point font, 1″ margins, and single space to save paper. They MUST have an analytic component. No analysis means that your starting baseline is automatically 80 points, not 100.

I. Sites of Memory Prompt; Answer two questions.

1. As clearly as possible, reiterate Winter’s thesis and argue for or against it, or modify it. It may be helpful (but not necessary) to situate him with Paul Fussell’s work, which he mentions.

2. What roles do “fictive” kinship and spiritualism play in mourning?

3. Winter notes a number of artists and writers as carriers of the war’s “apocalyptic” vision. Which one of these artists or writers struck you the most, and why?

Helping Restaurants Fight Obesity

As consumers become increasingly concerned about obesity and health risks associated with nutrition, many seek more information about restaurant foods. American families are estimated to spend as much as half of their food dollars at restaurants and to consume about one third of their calories outside the home.

One U.S. senator is pushing a bill to require chain restaurants to list nutritional information for all menu items. Although this law has not been passed, your city would like to encourage restaurants to offer more nutritious menu choices.

Assume that you work for Partners for a Healthier Community (PHC), which is part of the City Health and Human Services Department. PHC has been working on a program called Healthy Dining. Its goal is to offer food establishments the opportunity to be recognized as Healthy Dining restaurants. In order to be listed, owners must meet certain criteria.

A PHC team devoted to the Healthy Dining program discussed a number of requirements. The team thought that restaurants ought to offer at least two choices of fruits or vegetables. They wanted choices other than potato dishes. The team was much opposed to french fries. What could be substituted for them? Perhaps salads? In regard to the menu, the team thought that Healthy Dining restaurants should have some low-fat and low-calorie menu items, and when they are offered, customers should know what they are. However, no minimum on the number of such items would be required. The team also thought that Healthy Dining restaurants should try to provide at least some dishes in smaller portion sizes or perhaps half portions. Milk was discussed, and team members suggested that restaurants move away from offering whole milk. Team members preferred 1 percent or nonfat milk when milk was offered as a beverage.

The team gave you the task of giving a PowerPoint presentation to restaurant owners who inquired about the Health Dining rating.

(Adapted from Dr. Guffy case studies)

Case Assignment

Create a PowerPoint presentation with audio to be presented to owners who want to know how to earn the Healthy Dining rating for their restaurants. ” Don’t add voice to the presentation put the exact text of your talk in the “Notes” section”.

Address the presentation as a response to Mr. Adrian Hammersmith and guests, Adrian’s Steak House, 974 South Cobb Drive, Marietta, GA 30060. Explain in your presentation that information about the Healthy Dining program can be found at http://www.healthydiningfinder.com. This page is primarily for diners. A link at the bottom of the page, labeled “Nutrition Services,” takes dietitians and restaurateurs to information about program certification and membership.

Note: Put the exact text of your talk in the “Notes” section.

Submit your PowerPoint presentation with narration by the module’s due date. Narration includes the audio recording of your talk and/or the actual text of your talk in the “Notes” section. There is no need to have an actual audience for the presentation.

Assignment Expectations

Create a PowerPoint presentation and upload it. (PowerPoint presentations should not be over 10MB.)
Basic PowerPoint Guidelines
•Don’t use small fonts. The bigger, the better. Small fonts are harder to read on screen.
•Use “sans serif” fonts like Verdana, which was specifically designed to be readable on computer screens.
•Don’t use “serif” fonts like Times New Roman. The bits at the end of each letter tend to blur when projected.
•Don’t write complete sentences on your slides. Write short phrases. You will be less tempted to read the slide word for word.
•Don’t use more than two fonts per slide. More than two creates visual confusion.
•Keep your slides simple. Try to have an average of four lines per slide, one heading and three bullet points.
•Unless you plan to have a totally dark room (which is not a good idea by the way) use white or light-colored backgrounds with black or dark-colored letters. They are much easier to read than white or light letters on dark backgrounds.
•Create a completely black slide for the beginning and end of your presentation. That way while you are waiting to start, you don’t have to show the first slide and at the end you can fade to black and it can stay black as long as you like.
•Don’t use timed slides. Advance your slides manually with the mouse. You may not be able to keep up with the timed slides or an accident may happen that would throw off your timing.
•Talk to your audience, not the screen.
•Avoid walking in between the projector and the screen.
•If at all possible, practice at least once with the actual machine you will be using in your presentation. If you don’t, you may encounter some unpleasant surprises. (At a presentation during my job interview at UOR, I discovered that the projector I had been assured would work with my Mac laptop didn’t.)
•Don’t assume that the data projector will work. Always make back up visual aids (such as black and white overhead projector slides, printed handouts, etc. At that same UOR job presentation, I had brought overhead slides as a backup and used them instead. I got the job.)
•Use “three slides per page” for printing audience handouts. That way your audience has a copy of each slide you have and has some room to the right of each slide to jot down notes.

Your PowerPoint presentation will be reviewed according to the Oral Communication Rubric (above).

The Cognitive Load of PowerPoint: Q&A with Richard E. Mayer

In this short article, Cliff Atkinson interviews University of California, Santa Barbara, Professor Richard Mayer about the conclusions one can draw from his extensive research on multimedia for PowerPoint presentations.

Five Ways to Reduce PowerPoint Overload

This PDF download is the real stuff. This article is radical in its approach to PowerPoint. It is also the single best thing I’ve ever read on PowerPoint. It contradicts almost everything you’ve been told about PowerPoint, including much of what is in this module. Most of what is in this module will help you to do very good PowerPoint presentations—presentations much better than most that are given today. But if you want to go beyond that and make PowerPoint presentations that make your audience’s socks roll up and down, then use this approach. It isn’t easy, but the results are great. Personally, the hardest part of this approach for me is finding images that precisely convey what I’m trying to get across. Notice that the authors do what they say in the article. The headings and graphics in the articles are done in the style they recommend, and the text on the bottom is done using the “notes” function in PowerPoint.

Look over the sample essays in the attached document, then:

1) Does personal material (using I and your own experience, etc.) work in each essay? If so, how so? If not, why not? Can you think of any guidelines or reasons for using personal material in an analytical essay? Why might you not/have you been taught not to use personal materials in analytical writing?

2) How does each essay handle writing about artifacts–can you describe how the author discusses, analyzes, and/or describes the object? Are any of these descriptions more effective or ineffective? How so?

3) How does each essay handle combining item use and analysis? At once? Separately? In a particular way?

4) Describe how each author brings cultural connections into his or her essay. Does the essay or its ways of discussing cultural connections seem particularly effective? How so (or not)?

Due Date: Mar 01, 2015 23:59:59 Max Points: 60

Details:

Find three sources that discuss critical thinking. One source should be from the assigned and/or optional readings, and the other two should be found through your own research. Read the three sources, and consider how they define critical thinking.

In 300-500 words, explain your own personal definition of critical thinking. Keep
the following guidelines in mind:

Select a direct quote from one of your resources to include in your explanation.
A reference page that documents the three sources you found (and any other resources you used) is required. Remember, all outside sources must be cited both in-text and on your reference page.
The articles you found in your research may influence your definition, but your own ideas should be evident. In other words, your process should be: a) Read some definitions and descriptions of critical thinking; b) Comprehend or digest the information; and c) Write your own definition of critical thinking.

(Note: Do not simply reword the definitions you read. Consider a new way to explain what you understand critical thinking to be.)
