About Workshop 1 The Workshop 1 page on our Canvas site describes the purpose and goals of Workshop 1. If you don’t know those things by now, you’re in trouble. Go reread what I wrote there! Workshop 1 Requirements There are two requirements for Workshop 1, and one optional exercise: REQUIRED: Submit the first 2-3 pages of a story AND 2-3 pages of poetry (3 pages of poetry, not 3 poems), properly formatted, by the assigned due date. Submit your work as a single attachment to a forum message posted in your workshop group forum (more info on this below in “Workshop Groups”). REQUIRED: Read your group members’ work, and compose a thoughtful response to each work using the “Workshop Response” guidelines below. OPTIONAL: Complete the Author’s Reflection exercise at the end of this document. Why do it? It will guide you through reflection, which is a crucial part of the creative process, it can help you figure out how to develop and strengthen your creative work, and it may provide great material for you to use in the Final Portfolio. Below you’ll find detailed info on these requirements and step-by-step instructions on what to do. Workshop Groups, Submitting Your Work Workshop groups have been randomly selected, and are listed below. Each workshop group has its own forum thread on our Canvas site, linked on the Workshop 1 page. To submit your work, create a message, title it with your name, and post your work. You can either copy/paste your work into the message body, or provide a link to a Google Doc. If you provide a link to a Google Doc, you must be certain to set sharing permissions so your group members and I can read your work. To respond to group member’s work, simply respond to each person’s message and type your work (no need for attachments).

This guide is not required. You don’t need to submit the results. It isn’t graded. It’s purely an exercise to help you develop your first draft. NOTE ON POETRY FORMATTING: Poetry may be single-spaced. Boldface your poem titles, and leave a little white space between poems—just enough to show readers where one poem ends and the next one begins. DO NOT try to get away with placing one extremely short poem on each page, just to reach the page limit. Workshop 1 Grading Each of our workshops is worth 25 points of your course grade. In Workshop 1, you will receive 10 points for: Submitting your creative work to the appropriate Canvas workshop forum, properly formatted, by the due date. In Workshop 1, you will receive 15 points for: Responding thoughtfully to your group members’ work using the “Workshop Response” guidelines below, but the due date. NOTE ON GRADING WORKSHOP RESPONSES: If one or more of your group members does not submit their work on time, you are not obligated to respond to it. If a group member does not submit work at all, it won’t affect the other group members’ grades. In other words, if a group member is not contributing to the group, it’s not the other group members’ problem, and their grades won’t be affected. Workshop Responses After submitting your work, your second step is to read your group members’ work and respond to it. You are required to write one response to each of your group member’s rough drafts. However, I strongly encourage lots of back-and-forth discussion—that’s the next best thing to live discussion. You do not need to post your response as an attachment. Simply type it into the message body of your response. Your response is simply an informal “letter to the author” that offers thoughtful observations and questions about the work. Remember, this workshop is NOT about “fixing” the work or making recommendations, so avoid offering suggestions for improvement, etc. Just stick to the guidelines below. There is no length requirement for the response. As a guideline, write the kind of detailed, thoughtful response that you hope to receive yourself from your group members. When you’re responding to fiction, write a response that addresses the following: What aspect of this story really interests you: Is it the main character? Another character? The conflict of the story? The plot? What do you believe the main character wants or needs, and why? (Review character want/need from Module 2, if necessary.) What conflicts or obstacles stand in the main character’s way to getting what he/she wants/needs? (Review character want/need from Module 2, if necessary.) Do you think the main character will ever get what he/she wants/needs? If so, how? If not, why? How do you think the story will end? When you’re responding to poetry, write a response that addresses the following: What seems to be the central “thing”—the main subject—that all of the poems revolve around? Be specific. For example, don’t say all of the poems are about love, say they’re about romantic love, or fraternal love, or about the dangers of falling in love, or the rewards of loving a specific something or someone. Do the poems spend most of their time expressing emotions or thoughts about abstract concepts (love, hate, friendship, loss, etc.), or do they use a lot of concrete and specific imagery (a cut, a rusty hammer, a vine curled around a rock, an empty room, etc.)? What images stand out to you? Does the poet seem to be writing about his/her own experience in order to express something about the poet himself/herself (“self-referential” poetry), or is the poet consciously using his/her own experience to participate in a larger subject that impacts a larger discourse community? What other angles or perspectives do you think the poet might use to explore his/her main subject? For example, if the current poems explore the joys of romantic love, which is only one perspective on romantic love, do you think the poet’s future poems might explore the dangers of romantic love, or the challenges, the rewards, the humor, the chaos, etc., of romantic love? VERY HELPFUL HANDOUT: FINDING YOUR WORK
Assignments: Individual – Policy Design Overview for Final Paper: Approval of ProfessorStudents will be required to research and design a formal policy to address a public/organizational or community issue as approved by instructor. Student/ Policy makers are expected to systematically review and apply evidence when developing policies to create a policy to support their organization, department, community or special target audience or issue. The policy-making process will identify goals, target groups, necessary information related to the problem, desired solutions, and alternatives to meet goals. The policy will be designed using course concepts and theories to assist Human Service agencies in areas such as administrative capability, analysis, capacity building, productivity, development, and problem solving as identified in student research.
For this paper you are to indicate in a few sentences how you will complete each of the six steps in the final paper. The sample paper should be followed for part one of the final paper.
Step 1: Identify and research policy issue
Step 2: Conduct local assessment (site visit, interview, policy manual review)
Step 3: Prioritize needs assessment of agency or community group, review policy alternatives
Step 4: Select policy model and prepare action plan
Step 5: Develop evidence base with research support (use scholarly research journals and explore the websites located under each week to find additional support and information) and policy justification
Step 6: Evaluate policy and indicate how your policy will be implemented. What steps will you take to implement this policy?
It is the policy of …………………………….(name of agency) that no staff person or administrator be subject to sexual harassment by another.
It is the policy of …………………………(name of agency) that all employees wear an Identification (ID) Card with Photo provided by the agency while in the building.
An employee of ………………………….(name of agency) many not take vacation time until they have completed at least one full year of employment. At no time may a supervisor, director or member of the administration give approval.
It is the policy of…………………………..(name of agency) that all staff members and administrator undergo a physical as a condition of employment.These are very simple policy statements. Hopefully, these examples will give you some ideas as to how to formulate your own. You might start by thinking about a policy in your own place of employment that you would like to see changed. Consider rewriting the policy and continue to follow the additional steps in your assignment under Policy Design.
This is part one to a final paper, I would like to keep same writer. Instruction for final paper has not yet post.
