ASSIGNMENT 1;

Instructions

The purpose of this assignment is for you to think critically about information presented in this unit. Unfortunately, we sometimes tend to read information and consider it correct without much thought. This assignment should assist you in modifying that process. Hopefully, this will help you to critique future articles as well as your own work.

For this critique, you can choose one of three articles. Each article is located in the CSU Online Library. You should probably skim each article in order to determine which is the most interesting to you.

The article options are provided below and may be accessed by visiting the Criminal Justice database in the CSU Online Library. To reduce the amount of results you receive, it is recommended to conduct an advanced search; enter the article title in the first search box, and enter the author’s last name in the second search box.

Ginn, J. (2014). Going gray behind bars. Corrections Forum, 23(3), 18–20.

Payne, C. (2015). Managing aggressive inmates. American Jails, 29(2), 26–29.

Rowe, D., Huskey, B., & Severson, M. (2016). Mental illness and Douglas County jail: A new prescription. Corrections Today, 78(1), 56–59.

For this assignment, you will critique the selected article. The article critique should include the elements below:

• Provide a short summary of the article (one paragraph).
  • What is the main point?
  • What is the central argument?
• Include a critique of the article.
  • Is the article clear?
  • Is there appropriate evidence to support the article?
  • Is the article logical?
  • Who is the audience?
  • Is the article conventional, boring, controversial, and/or thorough?
  • Would you recommend this article to an individual working in corrections? Why, or why not?
• State your position on the article’s viewpoint.
  • Do you agree with the article? Why, or why not?
  • Do you have any recommendations to modify the article?
  • Has the author neglected any important details?

The completed article critique should be at least two pages in length; make certain to double space and use 12-point, Times New Roman font. A reference page and citations are required for this assignment.

ASSIGNMENT 2:

Illustration Essay Draft

Write a 750-1000 word essay about a topic in which you argue for the existence of a particular phenomenon by stating a generalization about the topic. Then you will support that generalization (in the form of a thesis statement) by choosing to write a single-example illustration essay or a multiple-example illustration essay (see Unit V, Lesson 2). The essay should be written in the style and form described within Unit V.

Purpose: Throughout Unit V, we have discussed the conventions of the illustration essay. The purpose of this assignment is to measure your mastery of those conventions by putting your knowledge to practice. In a larger context, the purpose of writing an illustration essay is to convey an idea to the reader by providing illustrations (examples) that will solidify the existence of a topic.

Process: For the illustration essay, you will complete the following steps:

1. Choose a topic: See the methods for developing a topic and the suggested list of topics in Unit V, Lesson 3.
2. Decide if you want to write a single-example or multiple-example essay: See Unit V, Lesson 2, for more instruction on the differences between single-example and multiple-example essays.
3. Collect illustrations: See Unit V, Lesson 1, for more information about different kinds of illustrations. See Unit V, Lesson 4, for more information about how to gather illustrations.
4. Craft your thesis statement: See Unit V, Lesson 5, for more information on how to write a thesis. Note that you want to craft your thesis according to whether you choose to write a single-example or a multiple-example essay.
5. Draft the essay: For each section of the essay, see the following: Unit V, Lesson 6, for the introduction; Unit V, Lesson 7, for the body paragraphs; and Unit V, Lesson 8, for the conclusion.

Stylistic details: All essays must meet the following requirements:

• 750-1000 words.
• Write in Times New Roman, 12 pt. font.
• Include one-inch margins on all sides.
• Use double spacing (top-to-bottom every page, to include above and below titles and centered words).
• Include an APA title page (for all essays) and reference list that includes all of the sources used in the essay.
• Include a header.
• Include page numbers (upper-right corner only).
• Adhere to APA convention and documentation style (See the CSU citation guide for assistance.).
• At least one source is required. All sources used must be cited.
