From our textbook, decide which “value group” or worldview you feel that you agree with the most in ideology. You should have experienced the very short with one question quiz asking you which “value group” you identify with the most. If you tell me that you identify with all the groups, that is not the purpose of this assignment. You will narrow this down to the one value group you believe is the most like your thinking. The following are the instructions:

Part 1

Decide one of the following groups that you think you identify with the most:

Libertarian

Utilitarian

Egalitarian

Religious Values

Prima Facie Values

Do some research on this identification and cite 2 quotes correctly in the MLA style within this essay about your selected value group.

Part 2

The author and speaker Ravi Zacharias defines one’s “worldview” as the cumulative answer to four questions:

1. Where did I come from?
2. What is life’s meaning?
3. How do I define right and wrong?
4. And what happens to me when I die?

Those are the fulcrum points of our existence. How do you answer these questions? (page 402 from our text)

After some thinking and jotting down some of your ideas, write a reflection with the following:

Make sure to have the following for a 100% on your grade:

1) Write a 1000-word essay in MLA style on the following 4 questions.

2) Cite 2 reference or have at least 2 quotes from different sources in correct MLA in-text citation style.

3) Works Cited page with the 2 references cited correctly in MLA style.

1. Scenario: You have been asked by your boss to design a two-hour training program on harassment for a group of predominantly Millennial employees.* Which learning theory would you use to design it and why would you use that one? Describe two or three specific actions would you take to make help employees transfer their learning back to the job.

*For more information, including a definition of Millennial employees, visit this report from the U. S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation (2012) and scan down to the Workplace section (about a third of way down); it begins with a Workplace Summary and includes Key Findings.

2. Research a learning theory, write a summary of it; and tell us how you would apply it in developing training.

Psychologists have discovered that human beings experience several different states of consciousness during the course of a day. For example, people have times when they are especially alert and times when they are awake but not alert, often called “daydreaming.” Also, while people are asleep, they experience different stages of sleep, each characterized by different patterns of brain and bodily activity.

In a multi-paragraph essay, discuss the different states of consciousness that you have experienced in the past 24 hours, including any periods when you were asleep, alert, or “daydreaming.” Be sure to describe both the brain and bodily activity you experienced during each state of consciousness. Include information from class materials, readings, and research on states of consciousness to support your discussion.

You will submit for small-group discussion and teacher evaluation a minimum of one poem and one work of prose (fiction or creative nonfiction). Depending on the length of the poem and prose, you may need to include shorter pieces in order to reach the minimum word count of 1000 words. For this assignment, ALL pieces in your submission must be emulations from course texts. By emulation I mean, employing the title, a line, or the theme from a completed work of prose or poetry either from the works we have read in/for class (including the links and handouts I’ve provided) or works which are present in our textbook. Here are some ways your work can emulate**:

– It shares all or part of the title of a work we’ve read in/for class, or which is in our textbook. (Please note: if you title a piece “Yes,” for example, it should be clear why you’ve chosen that title. Do not borrow a title from another work which has nothing to do with the piece you’ve written. A sure way to avoid that mistake is to make your piece echoes the themes of the piece whose title you are borrowing.)

– It uses a line or multiple lines or a phrase from a work we’ve read in/for class, or which is in our textbook. (As with the title, the lines had better fit with the piece you write. Please don’t just toss them in arbitrarily.)

– It tells a story from the POV of another character in the story, e.g. you use “Bone Hinge” and retell the story (in prose or poetic form) from the perspective of Hattie, or from the father, or the fiancé, or his brother, or someone in the town, or the mother, etc. Or you use Brian Turner’s “Eulogy” to write a poem or prose piece from the POV of PFC Miller (for whom the original poem is written).

– You tell a story beginning where another left off. For example, using “Where There’s Smoke,” you begin when the narrator returns to her apartment. Alternatively, you tell a story that ends where another began.

– You develop one of the “possible prompts” I gave in my feedback on your first assignment.

– You borrow the theme from a work we’ve read in/for class, or which is in our textbook, e.g. appreciating the present (a la “Golden Retrievals” by Mark Doty) or bringing someone important home to meet the family (a la “Someone I’d Like You to Meet” by Elizabeth McKenzie).

– You retell a fairytale or myth, or incorporate fairytale or mythic elements, as in “UrsaMajor” by Jen Corrigan.

**This is not an exhaustive list. If you are still unsure whether your work qualifies as an emulation of something we have read in/for class, or which is in our textbook, ASK MEBEFORE the portfolio is due, and I will let you know if it sounds acceptable. If I cannot see the correlation between the piece you’ve written and the piece you’ve cited as your emulation, I will grade it as though you did not write an emulation.

For every piece in your portfolio submission, please indicate the name of the text you are emulating (title and author) at the top of the page.

Your total workshop submission should be a minimum of 1000 words.This includes at least one poem and at least one work of prose. In addition, your submission will include 2-3 paragraphs of commentary (not included in the word count) addressing your goals in writing and assembling this submission. The commentary paragraph(s) should explain what you hoped to accomplish in these drafts and mention at least two literary techniques you employed in order to achieve your goals.

Your workshop submission should reflect thought, effort, and development of an idea beyond a typical free-writing exercise or writer’s notebook entry.That is, your workshop submission may grow out of work you have started in class or in your notebook, but you must develop the work outside of class before submitting it for a grade.

Please carefully edit your work for typos (the best way to edit is to read the work through out loud) and format it in the most aesthetically pleasing way possible. The submission must be typed, and prose should be double-spaced. You must bring two copies with you to class on the day the submission is due—one copy for me, and one copy for you to share with the members of your small workshop group
