Preparation Guidelines for both your written and oral, in class

“PRESENTATIONS”

 

1 During your oral presentation, do not “read” your entire paper.

Your grade will be based on how much you know about the subject, and not

how much you read from your notes.

 

 

2 Do not include information in your class presentation or written paper that

you do not understand, or you cannot explain. This is to be about what you

have learned; what you now know.

Be prepared to answer questions and to explain what you have in your

presentation.

 

 

3 Do not “copy and paste” your entire written paper from the internet, or any

other sources. You can cite from other sources, but make sure you indicate

what sources you are using. (Example: According to the X sources…etc.)

Your paper will be scanned and checked for plagiarism.

Class HUMA 2323

/in /by

In “From Every End of This Earth”, Steven Roberts recounts the lives of 13 families from different countries. He addresses the issues of what it means to be an immigrant in 21st century America. In many ways it has not changed from what existed in the early 19th century when the Industrial Revolution was sweeping across America. The 9/11 attack and the problems with immigration today appears to us to be new issues but in reality is just a repeat of the past. As different waves of immigration enter our shores and border lines, each culture brings with it different beliefs, values, families structures, religions, and child rearing beliefs and different philosophies towards education. America is more than a “melting pot”, it is a mosaic, with each piece rather ordinary by itself but when put together it becomes a beautiful work of art. The challenges to each of us in the 21st century is to find a way to be that “cultural broker” each child and family needs to help them achieve their “American Dream”. Please select 3 families and compare and contrast their character traits and cultural beliefs and practices. What drove them to be the people they were? Why did they come to America? What were their hopes and dreams for their children and for their families? How did they maintain their cultural identities and yet learn to fit into the beautiful mosaic that is America. How did they learn a new language and why is it important to maintain the native language while learning a second language? Did they achieve their dream? Your paper should be 6-8 pages, (double-spaced, 12-font/Times New Roman/Black. In addition, remember to read at least 3 papers and respond to AT LEAST 3 other students. (Below is the scoring sheet I will be using.)    _____1. Title page, complete with your name, (also maiden name), and course selection.  _____2. Strong introduction, clearly hooking the interest of the reader and introducing the families/characters selected.  _____3. Thorough explanation of how/why each family came to America and why their goals and aspirations were. How did this impact their success?  _____4. Explanation of how/why you think the different families/characters behaved or reacted as they did as they tried to build a new life in America.  _____5. Explain the adversity that each family encountered before they entered the US and after they began their lives in America.  _____6. Well-developed predictions about the success of failure that will be encountered in the future for each family you have chosen.  _____7. Correct spelling, grammar and punctuation utilized throughout the paper.  _____8. How might a “cultural broker” help each family to succeed?  _____9. What role should the public school/teachers play in helping each family succeed  _____10. Strong well-developed conclusion.
