Assignment 2

Mentoring and Service-Learning

The following topic(s) will demonstrate what the discussion is about, but feel free to branch off or expand on the topics. In addition to this discussion, you will be asked to craft a 150 word reflection on what you have learned through this conversation and post it to the Reflection Journal. The more active you are in this part of the discussion, the more you will have to draw from in your reflection, so get involved, be active, help out your classmates when they need it, and, most of all, enjoy the conversation.

Was it not so good advice? Additionally, list two or more traits you would like to see in a mentor. Why are these traits important to you?

Assignment 3

The Rough Draft

Throughout the course, you have been working toward your final project. This week, you will be submitting a rough draft of that project. Using the information from your outline, your bibliography, and your literature review, combine the information to create a rough draft (you will have the opportunity for this to be reviewed by your instructor and your peers). Pay close attention to the following criteria to ensure you covered everything.

While this is a rough draft of your project, keep in mind that the more complete your draft, the greater chance you have to receive relevant and constructive feedback.

Once you have completed your work, post it to “The Rough Draft” forum (we will return to this forum in our peer review activity in week six).

Your paper should be creative and interesting, and demonstrate what you have learned. It should be a minimum of 5-7 pages in length and you will use APA style formatting with a title page and reference section. You should use Times New Roman, 12pt. font, double-space your lines, and set your page up with one inch margins (See the APA Template included in the Course Resources folder)

For All Assignment Types

Your assignment should be well-organized and demonstrate an orderly flow of information that clearly addresses the subject chosen. In addition to the above criteria, your final project should include the following elements:

The Community Organization: Clearly indicate the focus of the organization and the community needs that the organization wants to address. A brief historical background of the organization should also be included.

•Discuss any community partnerships that they have. Suggest additional partnerships that you feel they should have.

•Explore how the cross-cultural challenges and humanitarian considerations are involved.

•Demonstrate how the organization uses volunteers and the economic benefits associated with this (not just “free labor”).

•Illustrate any roadblocks that the organization has faced or potential could face and how they did or might find solutions.

•Describe the organization’s vision for the future.

•Indicate what areas in which you feel the organization could improve. What challenges (technological, political, economic, laws and regulations, community-based initiatives, educational, etc.) will they need to overcome?

•Discuss potential ways you might be able to contribute to the organization. How could your own interests, talents, and skills benefit this organization?

Research:

•You will need to include a minimum of ten (10) sources to support your project claims.

•Additionally, you will need to ensure the sources you choose are no more than five (5) years old.

Writing:

•Title your Project

•Introduction: Begin with the attention-getter, tie in the background information, and end the introduction with your thesis.

•Body:

◦Clearly identify the topic of each section. The topic must be a statement, not a question, and should begin with your own ideas and your own words.

◦After identifying your topic, use quotations or paraphrase from your sources to help illustrate the point you are making (be sure to identify the author(s) and source(s)).

◦After you have given support, spend a sentence or two explaining how the example(s) support the section topic.

◦A compilation of your research, your literature review, your methods, (how the data was collected or generated and analyzed), and your results should be included in the body of your project.

•Conclusion:

◦Restate your thesis. This means that you say about the same thing as you did in your thesis, but you say it differently.

◦After stating your thesis, restate the topics from each of your body sections and emphasize what is important for your audience/readers to remember.

◦End your conclusion with a call to action that illustrates what your audience/readers should do with the information you presented.
