Middle East history Primary Source Paper

Please follow the instructions below carefully as this is exactly how i would like my paper to be written.

Choose ONE primary source related to Middle East history between 1700 and 1914. Primary sources are those created during the period under investigation and could include documents, state papers, laws and legal treatises, speeches, travel accounts, census data, diaries, memoirs, autobiographies, literary works, photographs, paintings, and other cultural artifacts. Please provide a photocopy of the source, unless it is an entire novel or another lengthy source in which case you may provide only the citation. It should NOT be a source we are reading in this class.

Present this source in your paper by answering the questions: What is the genre? Who is the author? When was it composed? Who is the intended reader? Why was it composed? The last question is the most important and should entail a discussion of the context in which this source was generated.

The paper is a presentation of the source, and therefore need not state a thesis and argue a particular position. Rather, the source itself is the subject of the paper and you want to provide the reader with the information necessary to understand the source and suggest how this information influences how we should interpret the source and what it adds to our historical understanding.

The essay should be 4 double-spaced pages (not including the source itself), with endnotes fully citing any reading that you quote or to which you refer. A full citation includes for a book: author, title, place of publication, publisher, date of publication, and page number(s); for a journal article: author, title, name of journal, volume and number, date, and page number(s).

You may pick a primary source from the website below:

Race, Ethnicity, and the Administration Of Justice

Question: Immigration is a hotly debated topic in America. Some believe the United States
(US) should open their borders to those who seek a better life. Others, however, believe that we
need to place stronger criteria on who can enter the US. Who is correct? Specifically, should the
US have an open access policy for those seeking a better life, or should criteria to enter America
be stringent?

Articles:
Adelman, R., Reid, L. W., Markle, G., Weiss, S., & Jaret, C. (2017). Urban crime rates and the
changing face of immigration: Evidence across four decades. Journal of Ethnicity in
Criminal Justice, 15(1), 52-77.
Choi, S. W. (2018). Does restrictive immigration policy reduce terrorism in Western
democracies?. Perspectives on Terrorism, 12(4), 14-25.

In your response:
Ensure the articles are properly applied in your analysis. That is, ensure the use of key
elements of each article are utilized. Simply using quotes and adding a sentence or two
thereafter will NOT suffice. Utilize, for example, major themes, findings, conclusions,
policies, etc. is important when integrating scholarly works. Presumably, you will
NOT agree with both publications, which is great. You will need to be objective in your
presentation of both publications, however.
Each article MUST have its own substantive paragraph. In short, there MUST be a deep
and cogent reflection for each publication.
Ensure that you have a strong introduction and conclusion for the paper. Being able to
set-up and wrap-up your position in a written format is important with academic writing.
Use quotations sparingly. The over-use of quotations is likely to detract from ones
analysis, which would result in a grade reduction.
REVIEW the rubric prior to submission. The rubric for this assessment is located via
the Paper Submission link. Look for the View Rubric tab.

Compare the notion of “sisterhood” in Lucille Clifton’s poem, “sisters” to bell hooks’ critique of mainstream feminism in “Black Women: Shaping Feminist Theory.” How does hooks’ critique expose the ways in which Western feminist theory excludes a broad vi

* Word count: 250-minimum to 300-words maximum total, excluding the Works Cited, which should follow MLA format (Links to an external site.). In other words, the Works Cited should not be included in your 250- to 300-word count. This is equivalent to one page double-spaced.

* Structure: The recommended structure for the paper is 1) descriptive title, 2) brief introduction (2-3 sentences mentioning the authors and texts analyzed, and outlining your main claims), 3) body paragraphs (either one body paragraph for each text you analyze -or- one paragraph for each of your chosen themes with both texts analyzed in each paragraph), 4) short conclusion (1-2 sentences), 5) “4 Substantive questions” heading followed by a list of your questions, and 6) “Works Cited” section with the citations for all texts analyzed in the response provided in MLA format.

* 4 Substantive questions: Formulate four questions based on themes and analysis you’ve presented in your response and/or expand on an idea that you introduce within your response, or write a question for a topic not directly addressed in your response. Thus, the four questions might be related to your response paper, but not answered within it. The questions should require a thoughtful response and provoke discussion (i.e. not yes/no questions). We may be able to use some of these questions during small or whole group discussion in class. Also, when students respond to peers’ posts by the last day of class, they can choose to respond to one of more of their colleagues’ questions or address an idea mentioned in the response itself.

* “Close Reading”: This is the literary analysis that you will perform for the poems (if you choose to write about them). After you read the poems carefully, make annotations of your observations, and then offer your poetic interpretation in your response. Your analysis of the poems is key. Please do not write a summary. Focus on language, imagery, repetition, word choice, literary devices, and try to connect your observations to the larger themes in the work: How does the form of the poem relate to its content? What does it reveal about the author’s perspective of Black women? A few resources on close reading:

https://writing.wisc.edu/handbook/assignments/closereading/ (Links to an external site.)
* Theoretical analysis: For the theoretical essays by hooks, Hill Collins and Harris-Perry, focus on understanding the authors argument. What evidence do they present? Do you find it convincing?

* Can we relate the readings to our personal lives? As you will read in Patricia Hill-Collins, there is a space in your writing for the “experiential” or what you have experienced. But, you want to ensure that your response is not solely a personal reflection. It is important to engage with and analyze the texts to demonstrate your critical understanding and move beyond personal impressions.

* Grading: The response papers will be graded Credit/No Credit. Responses that are incomplete may receive half credit.

Remember that you are only required to write about two of the readings listed in the response paper instructions.

Low-Stakes Writing 2: Using SPACE to Provide Directions

Professional Engagement Assignment 4: Providing Directions
For this assignment, you are going to experiment with providing and improving directions to a classmate. First, you need to select a location within a 10-minute walking distance from your Jabs Hall classroom. Please make sure your destination is one your classmate can reach while adhering to social distancing guidelines. Then, you will write directions for a classmate to follow for Professional Engagement Assignment 4. You will be assigned a partner who will follow your directions and then provide feedback on a D2L discussion board.

Using the feedback you get on those directions from your classmate, you will revise your directions. Then, you will explain how your understanding of SPACE considerations informed those changes. Though this activity might seem removed from the kind of instructions you will typically give at work, the nature of providing instructions is similar no matter the kind of directions being provided. Giving instructions to others is a fairly common workplace activity.

This assignment has three parts: (1) writing directions for Professional Engagement Assignment 4 and posting them to the discussion board, (2) revising those directions, and (3) explaining your revisions using course concepts.
1.    For Professional Engagement Assignment 4, you will post your directions to the discussion board. Include your original directions in your Low Stakes 2 document for comparison to your revised directions. The following restrictions apply to the directions:
    Only written words can be used to convey the directions. You may not provide illustrations or other aid.
    You may not tell your classmate the name or identity of their destination. In other words, you cannot start out by writing, Im going to tell you how to get to the SUB.
2.    Provide revised directions based on the feedback about your original directions from the classmate who followed them and from your instructor.
3.    Describe how you changed/improved your original directions (from Professional Engagement Assignment 4).
    Specifically state how your revised directions differ from your original ones.
    Identify how your revised directions demonstrate all five SPACE considerations (see Chapter 3 of Competent workplace communication).

Use the next pages to respond to all three prompts. Be sure to address all requirements in your response. Complete responses will include your original directions, your revised directions, and your explanation of your revisions based on SPACE considerations.
