Overview

Identify some area where you want to examine your motivation more deeply (TIP: Go back to Module 1 Learning Activity and reflect on what you noted at the beginning of the class).

Details

Draw or diagram your expectancies, values, and costs associated with that drive (i.e., complete a cost benefit analysis). You may use paper/pencil (take a picture and insert into a word doc) or a digital diagramming tool (like shapes in powerpoint). You can represent the analysis in any way that makes sense to you (e.g., t-chart, a scale with weights, table, flow chart, concept map), but you must include some indicator of what you identify as expectancies, values, and costs (e.g., color coding, labeling, to identify which is which) and multiple aspects aligned with each one (e.g., 4 expectancies, 2 values, 6 costs). At the end in 3-5 sentences, you should reflect on: a) whether this cost benefit analysis would predict you as motivated OR not, and b) what can you change to improve your motivations in the future. 

I’m working on a art question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.

This discussion is about connecting avant-garde art in the early 20th century with manifestoes, which were important statements written by artists to declare the goals and outlooks of their artistic movements.

Also, this activity gives you a chance to practice some of the skills you will use on your Virtual Exhibition.

Read, Look, Think, Post

1. Read Marinetti’s Manifesto of Futurism from 1909. Use it to start your post by summing up the purpose and structure of Marinetti’s argument. Select one quote that for you best conveys the spirit of the manifesto. Post it and explain what it made you think about futurism.
2. Go online to a major museum — good choices are the Museum of Modern Art New York, the Tate Gallery London, the Getty Museum Los Angeles, the Pompidou in France — and find a futurist artwork that you find interesting and is not in the textbook. Post the image or link to the image and explain what you find significant about the image. Use a quote from Marinetti that applies to the artwork. Explain what elements in the art work embody the futurist ideals cherished by Marinetti. 

Module 02 Content

1. 
   
   As you may recall, nutrients are divided into the following six (6) categories:

   • Carbohydrates
   • Lipids (Fats)
   • Proteins
   • Vitamins
   • Minerals
   • Water

   For this assignment, you will need to develop an informative PowerPoint presentation that could be used to teach your classmates about a variety of nutrients from the nutrient categories (above).

   1. Your PowerPoint presentation should:

   1. Have a title slide.
   2. Contain at least 6 content slides.
   3. Reflect proper spelling and grammar.
   4. Cite at least 2 credible references and present the sources in APA format on a References slide.
   5. 2. Choose five (5) specific nutrients from within the nutrient categories listed above. You may choose either:
   6. a mixture of five (5) macro and micro nutrients
   7. For example, you can use 2 macronutrients (such as lipids and carbohydrates) and 3 micronutrients (such as specific vitamins and minerals)
   8. five (5) different vitamins or minerals
   9. For example, 2 vitamins (such as A and D), 2 major minerals (such as sodium, calcium, and potassium), and 1 trace mineral (such as zinc)
   10. 3. For each of the nutrients you selected, create content slides that address the following:
   11. Explain the function(s) of the nutrient within the body.
   12. Describe how the nutrient is metabolized (where primarily digested, absorbed, and transported) within the body.
   13. Identify the current Reference Daily Intake (RDI) for the nutrient for an average adult.

Choose 1 work that we have read. Identify a character, theme, point of view, setting, symbol, other figurative language, etc. you want to write about from the text.

For this paper, you will choose any one literary work we have read for analysis

you have to pick, book wise, between A dollhouse by henrik ibsen, omelas by ursula leguin, A&P 1961 by john Umpdike ( I personally recommend), or the Jewelry 1883 by Guy de Maupassant (the second most recommended).

You will identify ONE aspect of the text to analyze in your paper.  (See list above)

Locate at least ONE SECONDARY SOURCE to support your analysis.

• Follow the organization plan (outline) below
• INTRODUCTION to the text and the element(s) or aspect of the text you have chosen to analyze (1 -2 paragraph)
• BACKGROUND: BRIEF summary of the text you have chosen (1 paragraph)
• MAIN IDEA 1: Describe and  cite specific examples from the text that supports your claim.  Explain how the examples support your interpretation. Bring in your secondary source for support. (1 -2 paragraph)
• MAIN IDEA 2: Describe and  cite specific examples from the text that supports your claim.  Explain how the examples support your interpretation. Bring in your secondary source for support.  (1 -2 paragraph)
• CONCLUSION (1 paragraph)

Due Date:

Friday

Directions:

This journal is a sort of pre-writing for our next essay. To complete, please answer the following question in about a page.

1. This essays asks you to choose a “particular controversy within your theme/topic that you believe is ripe for such an analysis.” What controversies/topics come to mind? Try to list at least three possibilities?
2. Once you have selected a topic (or for now, a few possibilities), you will need to “select artifacts from the various perspectives on the issue to demonstrate your points.” Where might you look for these? Do you have any ideas about what artifacts you might use? (Reminder: You will probably only want one to two artifacts (probably one a piece) for each perspective; furthermore, it usually works best if both artifacts are of the same medium and/or genre (e.g. speech compared to speech, essay compared to essay, podcast compared to podcast, etc.)
3. How do you feel about your understanding of the prompt here? Being able to write the essay? What questions do you have?
