Both of these essays were created as assignments (for differing classes in differing semesters).
-
The first is an Opinion of the Editor piece, which discusses the declining viewership in poetry and the corresponding consequences we can see in the general public.
-
The second is a persuasive and analytical research paper discussing the ethics behind treating Pediatric Bipolar disorder with medication.
These four files hold all of the components and deliverables for the Advanced Professional Writing course.
Therein, students were instructed to choose an organization and create a series of deliverables around a grant, which the student also created the details of.
-
Project Details: The student's formulated grant advertisement for their chosen company.
-
Proposal: The student's response to their own grant ad.
-
Memo: Consists of the second stage and natural next-step of a grant proposal.
-
Infographic: the final deliverable, which acts as an advertisement for the student's work and clearly defines the proposed project.
Both of these poems were written creatively and extracurricularly.
