“think piece,” which is an essay that requires you to interact with a subject and develop your own interpretation based on that experience.

Assignment Instructions Assignment 1

This assignment is a “think piece,” which is an essay that requires you to interact with a subject and develop your own interpretation based on that experience. After your initial analysis of a specific topic, you should synthesize that with other outside research to support your ideas. You should use a minimum of two other scholarly, peer-reviewed resources found in the APUS library. .

Specifically for this assignment we will use an interactive map of westward expansion from 1860 to 1890. You can access it at this URL: http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/asset/akh10_int_expansion/ Once you have the map open, click on the boxes for Major Cities, Railroad Networks, Improved Agricultural Land, and States and Territories. At the bottom of the map, you will notice the decades 1860, 1870, 1880, and 1890. Click on each of these decades in succession and you will see the ways in which the country changed.

The goal of this assignment is for you to interpret, synthesize, and analyze what you are seeing on the map. You will make a well-organized argument, support that through research, and then write a conclusion for your findings.

Analysis is the process whereby the researcher separates something into its component parts. In an analytical essay, the writer examines a subject relative to its own terms, and explains the problem by studying the individual parts. In contrast, synthesis requires that the researcher examine individual unrelated parts in an effort to discover something new. A good essay will utilize both analysis and synthesis. Instead of examining the simple facts of a problem, the writer will go beyond the obvious, making connections between different pieces of evidence to discover something new.

As an example, consider a modern map of the world illustrating the growth of the internet over the last thirty years. It demonstrates the new ways in which the world is connected by facilitating the spread of ideas through instantaneous communication. Access to much of the information that once required us to physically travel to a library is now accessible through a computer at home (or a mobile phone in your pocket). Social media has also given us the ability to discuss and debate ideas, not only with our friends and family, but with people we may have never met. We all have the power to disseminate knowledge around the globe within a matter of seconds.
If you were writing a paper on this topic (this is an example only, as your paper will focus on the period from 1860 to 1890) you could analyze this larger topic by focusing on a specific aspect like use of the internet in online education. You might make the argument that the internet has enabled more non-traditional students to pursue a higher education. Your synthesis would include understanding the connections between your outside research and your argument.
This essay should be at least three double-spaced pages of text (Times New Roman, font size 12) and you must consult a minimum of two academically credible sources. Bibliographies and citations can be in MLA, APA, or Chicago format. If you are a history major, we strongly suggest that all citations adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style.
This essay needs to be turned in through the assignment section for grading. If you use any of the information from your sources word-for-word, you must cite the source by using endnotes or footnotes, and enclose those words within quotation marks. If you read the information and write it in your own words and it is not common knowledge, then you must cite the source because you are paraphrasing someone's information.
The short paper must include a cover page with your name, course number and course title, instructor's name, and date. You must also include a bibliography at the end of your paper. While composing your paper, use proper English. Do not use abbreviations, contractions, informal language, passive voice, or first/ second person (I, you, we, our, etc). Before submitting your paper, check your grammar and use spell check. Remember, the way you talk is not the way you write a paper. Please label your paper as follows: lastnamefirstnameHIST102ShortPaper.

Bloom’s taxonomy of active, measurable verbs. Bloom’s Taxonomy identifies specific action verbs that should be used when writing educational objectives.

Part 1:
The purpose of this assignment is to identify the student’s professional learning objectives related to the specific project. A minimum of two objectives are required for the project. The wording of the objectives will vary greatly with the type of project planned. However, the format of the objectives will be similar.
When writing your objectives: 
    • Include the use of Bloom’s taxonomy of active, measurable verbs. Bloom’s Taxonomy identifies specific action verbs that should be used when writing educational objectives. Sample verbs include identify, describe, develop, recognize, contrast, explain, interpret, compare, etc.
    • Use the SMART format to write the Capstone project learning objectives 
      • S = the goal must be specific;
      • M= the goal must be measurable
      • A= the goal must be attainable
      • R= the goal must be realistic
      • T= the goal must be time-limited
Considering, Bloom’s taxonomy, the SMART format, your needs assessment, and research, complete the table below and submit for grading. You may have more than two objectives, if needed. 

Part 2:
Evaluation Plan Assignment
Evaluation is a necessary step for nurses to measure outcomes and progress towards meeting objectives in any environment. There are two general types of evaluations: 
Implementation evaluations (process evaluations) show whether or not a program has been implemented as intended, and why or why not? In process evaluations, you might examine whether the activities are taking place and who is reached through the activities. Process evaluation is important to help distinguish the causes of program performance, good or bad. Such measurements might include reviewing the number of people receiving services, the quality of services, staffing, the number of activities and meetings, or the number of training sessions offered.
Effectiveness/Outcome evaluationsassess progress on the outcomes the program is meant to assess, using short-term and long-term outcomes. Examples include changes in people’s attitudes and beliefs, changes in behaviors, changes in policies or enforcement of regulations, or changes disease or death rates.
With these examples in mind, how will you evaluate your program? In 2-4 pages, discuss your evaluation plan by following the rubric below.

Based on your reading of Jones (and supplemented by the Lyon text) what obligations does a medieval king have to himself, his kingdom, his family and friends, to his posterity?

Based on your reading of Jones (and supplemented by the Lyon text) what obligations does a medieval king have to himself, his kingdom, his family and friends, to his posterity? Do you, and does Jones, find the actions of Richard I justified? Were his actions toward the rebellious subjects appropriate? Do you find yourself siding more with the rebellious subjects or with the boy-king, and why? This response should not be based on which you liked better in today's world, but rather based on considerations of the rules of legitimacy and authority of the time.
