Directions: According to the topic you were assigned in class on Wednesday, July 9th, make a claim and provide at least two, scholarly sources to support that claim.
First: Make a claim
Example: modern writing can make for poor models for potential writers and writing students.
Second: Provide two sources, in MLA format, and then summarize the content of that source.
Example:
Badovinac, Emily. "The Blight of Young Adult Fiction." USRepresented.com. US Represented. 31
August 2013. Web. 7 July 2014.
This article is discusses the inefficient writing in young adult fiction, which--in turn--directs writing students toward poor writing habits.
Ream, Jacquie. "Is Texting Destroying Kids' Writing Style?" Curriculum Review 48.1 (2008): 4-5.
Web. 7 July 2014.
This article describes how texting is leading to children's inability to write properly.
Third: Explain why these articles would defend your claim.
Example: Both of these articles are from scholarly sources. The first is from a scholarly online publication, and the second is an online database article. The first describes how popular fiction is providing poor models for both youthful and older writers, and the second describes how texting is providing a poor model for younger writers. These would both be examples of poor writing models.
Initial response to post due before class on Wednesday, July 16th.
Reply to Classmate: Look up one or both of the citations and provide feedback, given what you now know about sources. If the student's sources would not pass muster, tell him or her, and explain why. If the sources are solid, reaffirm your peer's good choices by stating why they rock (be detailed!).
Example: Though the text by Jacquie Ream is from the online database, it has not been peer reviewed, so it would not meet the standards set by Ms. Taylor or the LBH for a scholarly source. Could you find a similar article that has been peer reviewed?
Example 2: I had such a difficult time finding scholarly evidence for that topic. I am really impressed that you were able to get any information from the database. What search terms did you use? (Then, hopefully, your classmate would respond to you.)

ReplyDeleteElectives can be helpful to students and keep them interested in school, however, it will not help them if their core curriculum suffers too much.

Barrientos, Jorge. "Saving or cutting electives a struggle in Kern High." Bakersfield Californian, The (CA) 03 July 2010: Newspaper Source. Web. 15 July 2014
This article talks about how different high schools in Kern County were affected by reduced funding and enrollment.
Cavanagh, Sean. "Electives Getting The Boot? It Depends On Where And What." Education Week 25.32 (2006): 7. Academic Search Complete. Web. 15 July 2014.
This article is about how increasing standards for core subjects is affecting electives and how some schools are attempting to keep their electives

Both of these articles were found in an academic database. The first one talks about how some students are “saved” by electives by finding something new that they are interested in, it also mentions how students felt when their course was cut due to student and budget loss. The second talks about what schools and students did to keep electives in their schools. Also, it talks about how some (educators) feel about the increased requirements for the core curriculum and how it affects electives.
Barrientos ,Jorge checks out. His first hand experience in teaching really validates his ethos. This is a great source and the article his indepth. He definitely answers your clam.
DeleteClaim- Breastfeeding is the best choice because it is beneficial to the health of both the mother and the child.

- This article explains the health benefits of breastfeeding. It helps the immune system of both mother and child. The article also explains that there are direct links of lower breast and ovarian cancer risks in mothers who breastfeed.

- This article shows the statistics of the number of breastfed children in the US, and the health correlations that go with it. The author explains the risks of formula-feeding which is increased risk sickness. This article also shows studies of decreased risk of cancer in mothers.
Both of these scholarly articles were found on a database, and were written by experts. They both have similar information about the benefits of breastfeeding for infants and mothers. Breastfeeding benefits include decreased risk of SIDS, infection, and sickness among infants. There is also direct links of decreased risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and diabetes in mothers who breastfeed. They both show evidence of how breastfeeding is healthier than formula-feeding.
Claim: Breastfeeding has many positive health affects to support a baby if it is sufficiently continued.
ReplyDeleteSources: Van, Acker. “A Functional Assessment of the Impact of Advantages and Disadvantages on Breastfeeding Attitude.” ERIC.com. Vol 33 2012. Web. 15 July 2014
This article talks about the recommended duration of breastfeeding. “The WHO [World Health Organization] recommends breastfeeding for six months and continuing to two years of age, as is desired by the baby.” This article also explains the how the breastfeeding rates drop between one month after birth and also six months after birth.
Allen Jane, Hector Debra (2005) Benefits of breastfeeding. New South Wales Public Health Bulletin 16 , 42–46.web. 2005. 15 july 2014.
This Article explains many of the positive impacts on a child’s immune system from breastfeeding. It also discusses why infant formula is not equivalent to breast milk in providing benefit and how breast milk is “uniquely engineered for human infants.”
Explanation:
Both of these articles are scholarly journals. The first article explains how long recognized health organizations recommend a baby be breastfed. It also discusses how the number of mother’s breastfeeding goes down drastically after the first month. This article will help explain my claim that the longer you breastfeed the stronger and more significant the health benefits are for the baby. The second article supports my claim in explaining the diseases and health risks the baby is protected from because of being breastfed. It also explains why breast milk is more natural and more vitamin rich then commercially available infant formula.
I like the article, it is very informative and it is peer reviewed. But your citing is wrong, I had trouble finding it because you put "eric.com" instead of ERIC.gov

This article talks about the knowledge women have of breastfeeding and the influencing factors, whether it be nutritional or tradition.

This article talks about the benefits of breastfeeding for both the child and the mother.
III.
These two article’s give accounts of women form different countries that have the same reasons for breastfeeding. The women in Iraq were influenced by what they have learned through tradition and the women in the U.S. from doctors. One thing these women have in common is they know breastfeeding is best source of nutrition for child development.
Both of your sources are peer reviewed and would be a great source of information. Was wondering if you found them on a database? or on Google scholar? Also how did you find the source from Tikrit journal, like what did you search?

The article by Royce Kimmons is written by a PhD, its peer reviewed and recent. However, there are no references in it to unhealthy or addiction, how does it link back into your claim?
