The purpose of this exercise is to practice a tool for overcoming writer's block and developing ideas for essays.
Here are the details:
1. Find a magazine article that sparks a reaction in you. This reaction can be agreement, disagreement, anger, fear, happiness, etc. Any reaction is fine. Your reaction might be the notion that you want to respond or say something to the author of the article.
It does not matter what magazine you choose. It can be any magazine. It can be in print, or it can be online. It also does not matter if the article is recent or old. The main thing is just that you react to the article. After finding the article, you will read it.
2. After reading the article, you will write this exercise. This exercise is made up of three parts.
A. First, you will write a paragraph where you give the title of the article, the name of the magazine it appears in and the author. Then in that first paragraph, you will briefly summarize this article. That is, you will briefly tell what the article is about.
B. Write at least one paragraph sharing your reaction. At this point, do not be concerned with the organization. This is not a formal essay (that will come later); this is just an exercise to generate ideas.
Your reaction can be whatever you like. Just whatever thoughts are flowing out of your mind as you are thinking about the article, write those down. The thought process of this part of the exercise relates to the tools and ideas presented in the Ideas for Essays Lecture Notes in Unit 2.
This second part of the exercise where you share your reaction should be one to two paragraphs long.
C. Finally, after you write one or two paragraphs sharing your reaction, write a paragraph where you discuss possible essay topics that you see coming out of your reaction.

Reread the novella with eye toward making it visible. Write in which you pretend you are casting characters for a film you are making of this story: who would you cast in the roles, and why? Emphasize aspects of human behaviors in your character desсrіptions and be as detailed as you can use imagination. Discussion Worksheet One ~ The Ballad of the Sad Café: In his book, Scandal on Stage: European Theater as Moral Trial, Theodore Ziolkowski1 cites Susan Sontag as saying art “has the capacity to make us nervous or to induce contemplation.” He also quotes Georges Braque who puts it perhaps more succinctly, “It’s the function of art to disturb”(6). Using the ideas put forth in these two statements as your premise, write an in which you discuss how The Ballad of the Sad Café, makes readers nervous, contemplative, and disturbed. Be specific – use examples from the text. Discussion Worksheet Two ~ The Ballad of the Sad Café For each prompt below, discuss HOW the term plays a part in the story for today: Consider not only the definitions provided in lecture, but think also about the idea that perhaps Carson McCullers is playing with these terms: turning classics on their ears. Characters can overlap types: Villain, Hero, Mother, Innocent Youth, Damsel in Distress

Discussion 2: Considerations in Designing a Qualitative Study Using what you have learned about your topic from your literature search, you are working towards formulating a research purpose and question. Note that in the Learning Resources for this week, the language of qualitative research is incorporated into how the research purpose and question is formulated. Here are some basic do’s and don’ts.
Quantitative (Don’ts)
Qualitative (Do’s)
Predict Examine differences, effects, or impact Correlate Analyze Explore Understand Describe Variables Indicators Measures Experience Meaning Essence Narrative Hypotheses
Broad, open-ended questions
For example, in the ongoing scenario for each of the weeks of this course, the qualitative research question is formulated based on:
DO: The purpose of this study is to understand the narratives of childcare and support in families in impoverished communities.
DO: What is the meaning of a “well-behaved child” to early childhood caregivers in impoverished neighborhoods?
While as in this example, the research question is formulated based on quantitative information
DON’T: The purpose of this study is to examine the demographic and family factors that predict the use of childcare services in impoverished communities.
DON’T: What are the differences in early childhood social skill acquisition between children that do receive childcare services and those that do not?
For this Discussion, you will examine qualitative research as it relates to qualitative design considerations.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the Learning Resources and the Fundamentals of Qualitative Research Methods: Developing a Qualitative Research Question video and consider the basic guidelines for qualitative research design. Use the Course Guide and Assignment Help found in this week’s Learning Resources and search for a qualitative research article. (Note: This article should be the research article you are using for your Major Assignment 1.) Review the qualitative research article you found and identify each of the components of the research design and consider what is present and what is missing. Identify what the authors did to document positionality, reflexivity, and bias. By Day 4 Transform your notes from your preparation work into three paragraphs and post the following:
A brief statement of the purpose and primary research question the article addresses An assessment of how thoroughly the research design was presented, including what was missing An assessment of the extent of the researcher’s presentation of positionality, reflexivity, and bias Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.
By Day 6 Respond to one of your colleagues’ posts and:
Reflect and provide feedback on what they found in their research article. Reflect and explain how this experience has informed you of what you should consider if you were to develop your research topic into a project for your dissertation or doctoral study.

Discussion 1: Conceptualizing a Qualitative Research Question Good research is driven by the synthesis of one’s passion or interest with a topic that has been under-studied in the professional literature. Out of that synthesis emerges a gap—an area in need of further study that is consistent with your interests—that defines the research problem. Clarifying the research problem takes time, effort, and thought.
Once you have developed your research problem, the research purpose and research question become self-evident.
What also becomes evident is your position with respect to the topic, the question, and what you hope to find. Qualitative research recognizes that the research “space” is shaped by both the participants and the researcher.
… the identities of both researcher and participants have the potential to impact the research process. Identities come into play via our perceptions, not only of others, but of the ways in which we expect others will perceive us. Our own biases shape the research process, serving as checkpoints along the way. Through recognition of our biases, we presume to gain insights into how we might approach a research setting, members of particular groups, and how we might seek to engage with participants (Bourke, 2014, p. 1).
For this Discussion, you will examine a research question based on the purpose for inquiry, a rationale for the study, and issues of positionality.
To prepare for this Discussion: Consider the research topic you are developing for your Major Assignment 1. Review Chapter 3 of the Ravitch and Carl text and use Table 3.1, page 69 to help you create a rationale using the questions as your guide. Review Chapter 3 of the Ravitch and Carl text and specifically use pages 70–76 to create a positionality memo to reflect on your relationship to the topic. Review the Fundamentals of Qualitative Research Methods: Developing a Qualitative Research Question media program as a guideline to help you create a research question. By Day 3 Transform your notes from your preparation work into four paragraphs and briefly explain in your post the following:
The research purpose of your inquiry The rationale Issues of positionality The research question Be sure to support your main post and response post with reference to the week’s Learning Resources and other scholarly evidence in APA style.
By Day 5 Respond to one of your colleagues’ posts and provide feedback on the following:
The alignment of the component parts of your colleague’s post The quality of the question as a qualitative research question Recommendations on how to improve Submission and Grading Information Grading Criteria To access your rubric:

This will be a parody of the novels/authors (Frankenstein by Mary Shelley) based on a close reading of the text.The parody should show an ear for and an understanding of the author’s voice, tone, style, stance, or motifs, etc.
Close Reading Criteria: Use these to think about your reading.
• point of entry in story, i.e. where does it begin, how this influences the writing; importance of first line: • • structure - how is the story put together: diaphanous or solidly constructed? How much exposition (background info) does the story feature? Locate the story’s complication(s) and crisis—does it arrive early in the story or late. How and where do these begin building toward the climax, and when does it drop off into the resolution?
• how does the author indicate that time is passing in the story? How much time does the story span?
• how is character presented
• what is the universe of the story/book?
• what kind of sentences does author write, i.e. rhythm, the way they are strung together, connectors
• what is good about the story/book? Where does it fail? • texture of work, how created, what is meant by texture? Think of burlap vs silk: burlap has huge holes compared to silk. Does the story leave out details, gaps for the reader to fill in? That makes it a burlap texture. Silk is fine: all the details and info are filled in for you. Victorian literature tends toward silk, modern lit toward burlap.
• writer’s disposition to scene and narrative - how much given in scene, how much is expository
• names of story – ordinary names are not notable, but functional, meaningful names indicate a kind of parable like meaning and determines the distance of characters from the reader
• narrative distance: Does the narratorial voice feel intimate or distant/cold?
• leitmotifs – colors and images (or even repeated words) returned to again and again usually highlight something significant in the story
• does work recall other readings?
• use biographical details only as supplement, not as substitute for reading text
