IDS 400 ( week 3)

Overview

For this ac�vity, you will cri�cally analyze how those within your chosen popula�on engage with your topic. You will iden�fy what is already working well and opportuni�es for change. Comple�ng this ac�vity will result in a dra� of the

cri�cal analysis sec�on of your project. It also provides an opportunity to obtain valuable feedback from your instructor that you can incorporate into your project submission.

Direc�ons

In this ac�vity, you will consider the elements of your topic you can develop to encourage, promote, and transform conversa�ons about diversity. Include diverse perspec�ves from varied sources to support your points. You should con�nue

to gather the sources you will integrate into your final project, which include two resources from course materials and two resources from the library. Look to the SNHU Shapiro Library for assistance in finding evidence and resources from

outside the course. For this ac�vity, you will discuss how to collaborate construc�vely with your chosen popula�on group. You will then describe at least one posi�ve element related to your topic and, finally, one element that could benefit

from change.

You are not required to answer each ques�on below the rubric criteria but may use them to be�er understand the criteria and guide your thinking.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your paper to support your analysis.

a. It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspec�ves from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from the Cita�ons and A�ribu�ons rubric criterion.

b. Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven throughout the paper itself, while ci�ng and a�ribu�ng sources will be represented as APA in‐text cita�ons and a reference list at the end of your work.

c. You will be evaluated on both criteria.

2. Discuss how you would construc�vely collaborate with your popula�on to encourage their engagement with your chosen topic.

a. Consider how you would develop a dialogue with your popula�on about the topic you have chosen. What are your ideas for suppor�ng construc�ve and inclusive conversa�on and programs of engagement?

3. Describe at least one posi�ve element within your topic that supports transforma�on.

a. What conversa�onal and collabora�ve approaches have already been successful? Visualize how this posi�ve element could have a ripple effect towards a transforma�ve conversa�on about your topic. This is not simply your

opinion but should be supported by reliable evidence.

b. If you do not think your topic has been engaged with posi�vely or successfully, explain why you have come to this conclusion.

4. Describe at least one specific element within your topic that could benefit from change.

a. What poten�al opportuni�es are there to improve your topic? What could be done differently to encourage, promote, or transform your topic? Build off ways that your topic has been discussed and represented in the past.

This is not simply your opinion but should be supported by reliable evidence.
