Your patient (Sue) is a registered nurse, 48 years of age, who has worked for 20 years in a large medical center in California. The hospital is located in an area with a large population of immigrants many from Southeast Asia. The last few years have been rough for her family. Her mother recently died from a long battle with breast cancer and her husband has been unemployed for almost two years. Sue has been trying to help her father cope with her mother’s death and at the same time has been working a lot of overtime to pay the bills. She has not had time to personally grieve the loss of her mother and tells you she is having a lot of sleepless nights. In January, Sue came down with bronchitis that has never resolved. She finds herself either coughing all night long or drenched in sweat. She wonders if she has the flu and can’t seem to shake it since she is so run down. She has come to you for a physical exam to help understand what is going on and how to fix it. Discuss the steps in Sue’s physical exam. What lab work would you order? What additional tests would you order? What diagnosis do you suspect? What treatment would you prescribe? I believe she possibly has TB

ending with a strong thesis statement.
 Use specific/detailed support to develop at least two body paragraphs that
include detailed description of your selected place while sharing your story.
 Create a complete conclusion paragraph.

pick an advertisement and analyze it. This essay should be 750 to 1000 words long. You will need to combine both the descriptive and analytical methods of development so that you can express your ideas about the ad you chose. The ad should be printed, not a commercial. Those require a different set of skills to write about.

Keep in mind this paper is not about advertisements as a whole but a specific ad that you chose. A few hints for your ad is to find one that has both words and images. Avoid ads that have a few words because those are hard to discuss. Also, don’t pick an ad that takes up four pages in a magazine. Those can be overwhelming. A one page ad that has a few words is all you need.

Consider reading the example ad essays and observing how they organize their papers and discuss their respective ads. This first paper can seem tricky, so examples might be necessary to help you understand the expectations for this assignment.

Make sure you follow the rules of good grammar and format the paper correctly. Read RW beginning on page 513 for formatting instructions. Rule 37a in RW explains the use of quotation marks with dialogue. Rule 37e explains the use of other punctuation with quotation marks.

You will follow a three-step process: deciding (prewriting), writing (drafting), and making changes (revising).

Step one: prewriting.

1. Begin by finding an ad that you find interesting. Side note: Googling “funny ads” and picking something you think is interesting is fine, but it’s also what many, many students do, meaning if you do this, your essay could potentially be generic.

2. Next, come up with at least four aspects of your ad that you’d like to discuss (the colors, the people, the background, the words, where you found the ad, your experience with the product as it relates to the ad).

3. After making your choice, develop a cluster map, branching off in one direction as you recall associations you’d like to make. For instance, if the color green is predominate in your ad, ask yourself why that is and what ideas you associate with the color green. Ask yourself if the colors used in the ad tie into how you associate the color.

4. Finally, explore your ideas through focused free writing (write a free-flowing rough draft in which you get your idea down on the page; you can reorganize and edit later).

5. Later, try to organize your details and thoughts (a rough outline may help).

Step two: drafting.

1. Use the your notes or an outline (whichever method works for you) and other prewriting to begin drafting your paper.

2. Consider your audience as you write: imagine that you are writing this essay for your classmates whom you have just met.

3. After you write your conclusion, go back and fashion appropriate introductory remarks that give your audience an idea of the reason this place is significant to you.

Step three: revising.

1. Check unnecessary words like redundant use of the phrase “in the ad.”

2. Rearrange, make sentences clear, and remove clichés like “eye catching.”

3. Choose words carefully and provide transitions.

4. Check spelling and punctuation.

5. Use proofreading and peer review.

6. Turn in your final draft.

Instructions: Write two separate paragraphs (at least 6 sentences each – this does not mean you simply stop writing at 6 sentences) on two different examples of chemistry in everyday life. If you Google “Chemistry in Everyday Life” you will get lots of ideas to choose from or come up with your own. You may not use the topics discussed in your textbook.

Describe the example in your own words (do not copy it from the Internet). Include your thoughts, experiences, opinions on the subject and anything you would like to add. As well, discuss the actual chemicals involved – do a little research on what is happening, the processes, etc. For example, if you pick digestion, you would talk about the types of enzymes at work in your body, what happens to the nutrients, the acid in your stomach, etc. (You cannot use that one).

You will be graded on spelling/grammar so I would recommend having a fellow student or friend look it over before submitting it. Paragraphs should be double spaced, 12 point font and margins are to be 1 inch all the way around. Anything you read, look up on the Internet, etc. must be cited.

Talking about the fact that chemistry is in our lives and how it affects us in general is not a topic, nor does it “count” for your 5 sentences. Do a little research. I want you to LEARN something with this assignment.

You may not pick ice floating on water, hand/dishwashing/laundry soap or detergent, why onions make your eyes water, or why water boils. Be creative. Really THINK about the chemicals/chemistry going on around you everyday.

Put each paragraph on its own page. Your name should be up in the right hand corner.

Good example paragraph:
I have a saltwater aquarium and it requires a significant amount of work to keep the salt content, nutrients and dangerous molecules in the right balance. If the salt content is too high or too low it will cause the fish to suffer. These hypertonic and hypotonic solutions will result in the fish’s cells shrinking or swelling causing death. Other nutrients are important for fish and reef survival such as certain metal ions like calcium. Fish waste products include ammonia, nitrate and phosphate. These polyatomic ions are not dangerous in low concentrations however at high concentrations they will interfere with fish survival. To ensure proper survival of all the organisms in the tank, frequent water changes are performed to dilute out some of the harmful molecules. Unfortunately, the good molecules get diluted out as well so the keeper must be certain to supplement the tank to the appropriate levels. This example of chemistry in everyday life is easily performed by anyone willing to put in the effort to learn the hobby and does not require a chemist for an ultimate tank experience.

Very bad example paragraph:
Have you ever wondered why ice floats? It floats because it is lighter than liquid water. It’s a good thing too, because if ice was heavier than water it would sink to the bottom of lakes and oceans and kill the animals because they would freeze in it. Other things are heavier than ice, that is why they do not float. It all has to do with the density of water and of ice.

nd a current event related to topics in Texas government: state and local politics. Whats a summary analysis, you say? The grandaddy of all political science, Harold Lasswell, is known for defining Politics. , Ideological values, beliefs, and opinions, aside, when it comes to government and politics, his definition of the word (ironically) is probably the only thing that all mankind can agree on. Lasswell, defines politics, as “who, gets what, where, when, and how”. Apply that definition to the article’s information, or the article’s information to that definition, and write a 10 sentence summary that focuses on critically evaluating what is going on, from your personal perspective. Interject your opinion. You should be making a statement, argument, and your opinion about the subject matter, should be known. However, this needs to be done in a scholarly and academic manner. Focus on explanation, reason and rationalization, to provide a clear opinion statement and discussion of their personal perspective and political position towards the event or issue in their article. MUST include a direct link to the original article’s text that they are using to complete this assignment.
