short paper roman empire history class

by

Topic: Cleopatra in Roman History

For your short paper assignment, read these instructions carefully. For additional details, consult the syllabus.

Papers should be analytical in nature and not merely a narrative of events (e.g. Hannibal’s conquest of Italy). You must confer with your instructor before you settle on a topic and begin your research.

For each short paper, select A SPECIFIC TOPIC, more detailed than the suggestions provided below, to analyze the problem presented, marshal the evidence, and then present your own reasoned conclusions, which must be supported by the evidence and documented in the endnotes or footnotes.

Sources

When researching and writing your paper, you should use at least one of each of the following types of sources: 1) a primary source; 2) a monograph; 3) an article from an academic journal; 4) a piece from a reputable internet site.

Articles, and some books, can be accessed through the online databases available at the UMUC Library: Databases.

With regard to websites, keep in mind that a website is not reliable simply because it exists on the Internet. If you are not certain about a web site, click on this link and read the Library’s guide to evaluating web sites.

Encyclopedias are useful consulting tools, but they should never form the basis of a research paper. Encyclopedias are guides, not major sources.

Format

The paper must be 6-8 double-spaced pages, excluding works cited. Pages should be numbered at the top right-hand corner. There are a variety of reference tools in the Library to assist you with your research.

Your paper should be double-spaced, with one-inch margins, in 12-point type.

Include endnotes or footnotes and a bibliography.

Your paper should follow the Chicago style throughout. Instructions on the Chicago style can be found at style examples or in A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations. Please consult with your instructor if you wish to use a different professional format.

References

The general rule to keep in mind is that you should avoid using a large number of endnotes/footnotes.

Conversely, whenever you use an idea which is not yours and is not considered common knowledge you should add a footnote or endnote. (Common knowledge: a fact or argument mentioned in multiple sources.)

Also, even if a fact or argument is common knowledge but you want to draw attention to a particular person’s use of it you should use an end note or footnote.

You’re advised to read the Mark Fiore summary first (long version, preferably) to give you a complete grounding in the poem before beginning your paper. 1000 words,12-pt. Type.

Review of Behavior Plan with Parents

John, a student with learning disabilities, lacks in social skills. This interferes with his interaction with his classmates and with his learning. Select the behavior you need to eliminate or reduce and explain why this behavior concerns you so much that you want to have a meeting with John’s parents to discuss it.

Directions:

Step 1: You want to invite John’s parents in for a meeting. But first, you have to plan for this meeting. You need to plan what to do and what to say as a teacher and professional who cares about this child. In preparation for a conference with John’s parents, develop a script of what you plan to discuss with them and their anticipated responses. The script must be at least three pages, double-spaced, indicating what you, as a professional, would say and how you think the parents would respond. Your script should be written in a dialogue format. Your plan should include the time of day and setting of the meeting, possible participants, and concerns to be discussed.

The information presented by you must include at least three research-based strategies for addressing John’s behavior, and his parents’ concerns or needs. It should also include at least one community-based program that might be of benefit to John or his family.

At the end of your report speculate on the kinds of decisions that could be reached with John’s parents, and describe a follow-up plan and your role and the parents’ role in this plan.

Step 2: Role-play the scenario with a classmate and report on this experience. You play the role of the parents and have your classmate play your role. Follow the transcript and report on any adjustments or modifications you would make in the script to convey your message to the parents.

Step 3: Write your reflections about this activity (Steps 2 & 3) and discuss what you learned from this exercise.

I believe we are a people. United Under one sky. We share air, water, humanity, but we, here, live better than many who die. I believe then that as a people, we should put our best forward.

At the start of your paper, I’d like you to use seven sentences or phrases as a prologue to your final project.

Part or paper 3: Choose 3 policies, practices, inventions, programs, that the US has, which either in whole or in part, could help your chosen country’s “issue.” Explore and explain how that county might implement and/ or benefit from the ideas and knowledge that work within the United States successfully.
