A literacy narrative in personal life

/in /by

A literacy narrative in personal life is a story, typically written in the first person, about the author learning a valuable life lesson, becoming more fluent in a language or skill, or discovering something new about themselves. Simplified, these are stories about becoming more literate, which can apply to many different aspects of life and personal growth.

For this response, locate an example of a literacy narrative to read and discuss. This could be a feature story about an individual or an experience (a first-person account of volunteer work on a non-profit’s website, an immigrant story in the US or Europe, the story of an athlete discovering their role in the sport or on the team, a travel story about a foreign country or other destination in which the author becomes more fluent with culture or language, the story of a discovery or invention, the story of someone climbing Everest or some other challenging task, a true crime story from a podcast where the investigators must discover important details, a TED speaker who tells a personal story of learning through success or failure, etc…).

Where did you locate the narrative, what is it about, who is the author, and how does it qualify as a literacy narrative? What details does the author include to make the story good, what moral or message does the narrative offer, is it written in the first or the third person? What information is provided in the story and what does the author become more fluent in? How, according to the author, have they benefited from this? What did you learn from this? If you were to write a similar piece or a similar narrative, what would you write about and why?

Essential elements of Professions

Writing Assignment on Bayles, Meyers, and Essential Qualities of Professions.

Prompt: In Bayles’ “What Is a Profession?”, he notes: “no generally accepted definition of the term profession exits, yet a working concept is needed for our study of professional ethics” (p. 56). In order to provide a working understanding of what a profession is (as opposed to an occupation, trade, hobby, etc.) he goes on to discuss “three central features” that characterize and distinguish professions (he also considers “common features” of professions, but I want you to focus on the “central features”).

In your short writing assignment, first, discuss the “three central features” of professions that Bayles identifies in his essay (in other words, what are these central features, and why does Bayles think they are significant?).

Second, evaluate Bayles’ central features. Do you agree with Bayles that these really are the central features that distinguish a profession from other forms of work? Why or why not?

Third, compare Bayles’ discussion with Meyers’ discussion of essential elements of professions. How are their accounts similar? How are they different?

Writing Assignment on Ethical Identity

Prompt: You have now begun to think about ethics and its relationship to being a professional. You have completed an activity – “Who’s My Hero: Identifying Influences on Work and Life” – and, also, you have listened (on the Ethicist’s Corner) (Links to an external site.) to Dr. Mary Barlow (Kern County Superintendent of Schools) discussion including ethics in her leadership role in our community and professional life.

Examine the influences of ethical identity on work and life and discuss your own ethical identity, namely, the view you have of your own ethical commitments as a professional:

(1) who has most influenced you in how you approach your work and

(2) what are your motivations for pursuing a profession?

(3) regarding your own ethical identity, what kind of professional do you hope to be and what values will guide you as a professional as you enter the professional workforce?

As a basis for reflection regarding ethics and professionalism, be sure to directly reference at least one comment from my conversation with Dr. Mary Barlow in the Ethicist’s Corner Podcast in your writing assignment.

Tribal Nations: Tribal Governance through time

/in /by

Please review the report on Tribal Nations and the United States: Tribal Governance through time: By the NCAI.org

The topic for the essay is concerning American Indian sovereignty and territoriality. As you have seen in the NCAI report, self-governing is crucial to the survival and success of the First Nation people. Below is a series of articles that examine the history of sovereignty and the debate on whether the United States Congress should limit or allow sovereignty for tribes in the United States. Each article has to discuss the history and have knowledge of treaties and policies that have been made in the past.

You will pick one of the articles and your essay will summarize and discuss for the class what you learned in the article. In this essay make sure you discuss what sovereignty means and whether your author approves of sovereignty or not for an American Tribe residing in the United States. Discuss some of those policies or treaties you discovered in the articles. Also, discuss what issues the First Nations deal with in having the ability to self-govern. Also, add one paragraph discussing your view on American Indian sovereignty.
