You will then write a 1000-1200-word summary of the article. Your paper should be organized into two main parts.[1]
First, in the longer part of the paper, you should summarize the content of the article.[2] This includes describing the author’s main thesis, as well as the supporting ideas Harris uses to develop the thesis. Your goal is that a reader who has never read the article would come away from your summary understanding the author’s argument.
Your paper should be coherent, with one idea flowing logically to the next, just as Harris logically develops his argument. In this part of the paper you may quote key passages of the work, but you should do so sparingly—in general, you should put the author’s arguments into your own words (but still cite appropriately). Given your word limits, you must pick and choose the author’s most important points. The most common error in this kind of paper is spending four pages on the first half of the author’s article, and then rushing inadequately through the remainder.
In the second part (much shorter) of the paper, you should evaluate the author’s work. What evidence does the author use? Is it adequate? Is his analysis sensible and does he use his evidence well? Is his argument persuasive to you? Your goal here is to decide if Harris successfully supported his argument(s) and to present your overall opinion of the article. Measured critiques are welcome, but we want to avoid surface-level criticism.
All written assignments for this course must be typed and double-spaced, in 12 pt font, with one-inch margins on all sides. Assignments must list the final word count at the beginning or end of the paper (e.g. “Word Count: XXXX”). All written work will be assessed for style, grammar, syntax, and spelling as well as content. Please use footnotes for citations, following the Chicago format, which can be found on the library resource website and using the example below.

Targeted behavior in the classroom can be difficult to deal with for both students and the teacher. For the students, they can become distracted when their classmate(s) are talking loudly and just moving around the classroom. The students lose focus when a child is constantly speaking out and loudly. When a student is talking loudly and moving around the classroom, it disrupts the teachers focus and motivation because you are trying to focus on teaching but you are also thinking about the child with the targeted behavior and also the students trying to learn. Most of the time I do think it is about attention or responding to some kind of stimuli. I am nervous to be able to teach while focusing on the disruptive students and students eager and ready to learn. Comment as you see fit. Min 30 words or more

“The primary challenge that may come across is inattentiveness of any particular student. In this respect, to overcome the challenge, primarily, as a teacher, I must deliver the lesson with activity that calls for active participation of all the students through forming separate groups. This way the problem of inattention can be addressed.”
Another student reply:I respect and appreciate your response of inattentiveness and the use of small groups to engage in active participation. I am an advocate of small group learning and am specific and observant with regards to who I place in small groups and why. Do you have a specific way of organizing your small groups or would you let the students pick their small groups? How would you handle a situation in which the groups were not effectively working together? And, would you consider one-on-one instruction as well?
Answer the another student reply. Min 40 words or more

It is easy to live our lives without thinking too carefully about why we are doing what we do. It is also easy to simply do the things that seem immediately pleasant without a bigger life-plan in mind. This is totally natural, of course, since thinking about how to live our lives can be quite annoying and deciding to be more intentional about what we do can be truly exhausting. But while Socrates was clearly exaggerating when he said that “the unexamined life is not worth living” (of course it is!), he was certainly right in suspecting that unexamined lives often lead their subjects to the late and regrettable conclusion that their living was not worth their lives. So the truth is that simply going-through-the-motions of your life is a recipe for existential disaster down the road. It would be great if we could all avoid that. In this short paper, then, I want you to examine your life so far and your life goals moving forward, in light of our discussions of Religion and Meaning in this unit. More exactly, I want you to do three things. (A) I want you to begin by analyzing your own life until now. I want you to make a self-assessment of how meaningful it has been. This is once again an opportunity for self-improvement; an opportunity to turn a constructively critical eye to yourself. (B) I then want you to discuss the connection between Religion and Meaning in general, based on our readings, and also the connection between Religion and the meaningfulness of your life, so far, in particular. Here I want you to engage with at least one author from this unit. (C) Finally, I want you to discuss what steps you can take to improve the meaningfulness of your life going forward.

Plato, Aristotle and The Theban Trilogy offer pretty much the same view of human nature, which is summed up in Aristotle’s
Politics
Book 1 Chapter 2: Human Beings are political animals and Human Beings are animals having
logos.
Rousseau in the
Discourse on Inequality
asserts that the specific human difference is “perfectibility.” (This is on page 88 paragraph 17, the translation uses the phrase, “faculty of self-improvement,” the French text has ‘perfectibilit,”)
Compare and Contrast these two views of being human. Can they be reconciled? Which of two better resonates with your sense of things? Etc.
