Modern French Language

/in /by

For your final project, you will investigate an element of spoken French or French written in the “familiar” press
in blogs and social networks.
In your final project, we’ll start with this prescriptivism as a starting point. Then we will analyze French as it is
spoken / written using data from social networks, corpora, blogs, and the press.
To begin with, we will study the prescriptive rule (s) of the phenomenon we are studying. The Académie
française website is a good place to start. Then we will visit French sites where we will see a confirmation of
this prescriptivism in the language as it is used or perhaps a use that departs from prescriptive French.
You may discuss a platform such as Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter, etc. Use specific examples.
Format:
Each essay will have an introduction

  1. An explanation of the approach:
    a) How did you find this data?
    b) What are your main sources?
    2 / Data analyzed
    3 / A summary including the data and their analysis

America’s involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict

/in /by

Select a current event in American society and write a five-six (5) page research paper explaining the event and its historical context. The aim of this essay is for the student to develop a deeper understanding of contemporary America and be able to interpret current events based on their understanding of the past.
TOPIC: You may choose any major event that is ongoing in American society or in the very recent past. For example, the debate over the Affordable Care Act is acceptable; the Civil Rights Movement is not. The selected event should be controversial, and you must be able to relate its significance to broader ideas within American History. Connecting the event to themes discussed directly in the cases we have covered in class is preferred.
RESEARCH: For this paper you should do extensive research to understand both the current event and the controversy surrounding it, and also the historical context that makes it relevant. To that end your final paper should include a minimum of the following sources:

  1. 7 current news articles covering the events you are researching.
    a. These articles should be from a variety of news sources and from a variety of perspectives.
    b. You may not have more than two articles from the same publications.
    c. These may include a long-form audio or visual source such as NPR, 60 Minutes, or a documentary
  2. 2 secondary sources related to the historical context of the events you are researching.
    a. These should be books found in the library or classroom, online reference sources are not appropriate.
  3. 1 scholarly journal article relating to either the current event itself or its historical context.

A Carbon-Neutral Energy Plan for Arzaville

/in /by

Imagine that you are a resident of Arzaville, a community whose characteristics are described below. You have
come together with your neighbors for a special meeting to devise a plan for helping the community become
carbon-neutral by 2050, meaning that by that time, no net carbon dioxide emissions will be produced by
residents as a whole.
Fortunately, you have all attended the meeting with knowledge that you have gained from your readings in this
course. Now it is time to put your thinking cap on and get to work! Your plan should consist of the following
elements:
Energy conservation measures (e.g., promoting carpooling by adding special lanes to local highways).
Steps to move toward sustainable energy production (e.g., installing solar panels on town government
buildings).
Reducing energy consumption will help, but some actions will have to involve switching to other power sources
for buildings and vehicles as well.
Post your ideas for plan components and share pros and cons of different proposal.
Post at least three separate and entirely original ideas.
The Arzaville description you will be using for this activity

The peoples’ history of the Valley of Mexico

/in /by

1) Why might it be important to briefly learn about the peoples’ history of the Valley of Mexico, Central America, and South America before discussing the first peoples of the modern-day United States based on the textbook chapter? In other words, how might the history of the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, and Inca encourage us to think differently about the popular narrative/mainstream history of the US?

2) What were some key points/quotes that resonated with you from this week’s textbook chapter, “Follow the Corn,” and why? Please include specific examples.

3) How might the textbook chapter connect to one of our key terms from last week? How and why?

4) What are your thoughts/reactions to Winona LaDuke’s TED Talk? What might the points discussed be significant in our understanding of this week’s material?

5) What were your previous understandings of Christopher Columbus, or what did you learn about him in grade school? How did both articles challenge your previous perspective of Christopher Columbus?

6) Compare/contrast the authors’ perspectives from the “Columbus Day Comic” and the “Flawed Critique of Columbus Day.”

7) What does the term “Doctrine of Discovery” mean, and what is its significance as we analyze US history from an Indigenous perspective?

8) In the textbook, what does the chapter title “Culture of Conquest” mean/refer to? What were some key passages in the chapter that stood out to you, and why?
