First Generation viewing and reflection

First Generation viewing and reflection

Directions:

We have now seen the challenges/barriers some successful individuals have had to overcome on their way to an education. But now, I want us to think a little closer to home, in something that may be more relevant to what you may be experiences. To do so, we will watch a documentary called First Generation. As the name would suggest, it focuses on four California students who are the first in their families to go to college. They each have different barriers to cross.

Step 1:

Watch the documentary below:

Step 2:

As you watch, work to complete the worksheet below.

What is the human development index?

Ecology Discussion

McKee et al (2003), Jha and Bawa (2006) – Questions for Discussion

  1. What is the human development index? What factors does it consider? (1pt)
  2. What are biological hotspots? Why are they important to consider for biodiversity? (1pt)
  3. In the context of these papers, define “exogenous factors”. Give two examples of exogenous factors mentioned in the papers. (1pt)
  4. McKee et al 2003, Figure 1: What two variables are being compared in this graph? Why is the trend between the two variables important to know? (2pts)
  5. McKee et al 2003, Figure 2: In your own words, describe what this graph is showing. Approximately how many countries are expected to have a net recovery of species by 2050? (2pts)
  6. Jha and Bawa 2006, Figure 1: For the countries described in the graph, what is the relationship between HDI and deforestation rate in the 1980s? How does that change by the 1990s? Hint: Table 2 contains the correlation coefficient and p-value for these graphs. (2pts)
  7. Based on the results of these studies, why is it important to conduct ecology studies over several years and across several countries? Inversely, what benefits are there to short-term studies and studies conducted at the local/regional level? (3pts)
  8. Both papers focused on terrestrial ecosystems and species. How might freshwater and marine ecosystems be affected differently by local increases in human population density? (3pts)
  9. Do you believe that there should be restrictions on developing nations for the sake of preserving biodiversity? What measures could developed countries take to help? (3pts)
  10. Write out the citations for both articles using Ecology formatting. (2pts)

Write a paper in which you research and analyze President Lyndon

Write a paper in which you research and analyze President Lyndon

I have a essay due wednesday by 11:59 pm.

Write a paper in which you research and analyze President Lyndon B Johnson’s key initiatives for his “war on poverty” in the 1960’s.While often remembered for his failure to end the Vietnam War and his crude personality, president Johnson felt deeply about ending poverty. You should research what initiatives were put into place (remember that Congress and the Senate also played a role in passing them), what their goals were, and then how successful they have been, or if they have not been successful. When you are analyzing some of these laws and programs (choose a few, not all) look at what made them succeed or fail. Was there enough funding? Were they implemented in the same way in each state? Were the programs funded and ran by the federal or state governments, or a combination of both? Are these programs still workable today, or do they need to be modified?

Other Information:

1) Must use MLA research paper format

2) Must use 4 scholarly sources plus one article from the textbook.

3) Must use quotes and cite within the paper. Don’t forget to make connections between the quotes and paper ideas.

4) Paper II is 5-6 pages in length, not counting the Title page and Works Cited page

5) The Works Cited entries must contain a link to the articles that is functional. Do not use Ebsco Host since their links often do not work.

Your Name:

1) Write your thesis sentence:

2) What are your three reasons for your main point about your topic?

3) Give an example from your paper of evidence for each of your sub points:

4) Explain why your evidence is relevant:

6) Are your body paragraphs in the same order as your sub points?

7) Have you introduced and cited quotes from sources properly?

8) Have you explained/analyzed/ interpreted quotes, ie made connections between quotes and paper ideas,etc.?

9) Where do you need to do the above (# 8)?

10) Have you introduced sources and given their credentials?

11) Where do you need to do this (#10)?

12) Do you have good transitions between paragraphs or do you need stronger transitions?
