...given topic. The goal is not to persuade the reader but to give the reader more information, to provide the reader with insight, and to support the writer’s interpretations with factual information. The essay should make the reader say “Aha! I didn’t know that.” Informative essays do not express the writer’s opinion. Views, pro and con, can be included but they must be presented in an unbiased fashion, pointing out comparisons and contrasts of viewpoints. One way to do this is to imagine that the audience holds a common view of the topic; the writer’s purpose is to give the audience a surprising new view based on research. To do this you can: • • • • Enlighten your audience with new facts and/or statistics. Give them usable material that they can apply. Present sufficient information to explain the new findings about the topic. Make clear from the beginning of your paper its purpose. Here is an example of an informative essay topic: a student wrote about technology invading churches in the form of ATM machines. He called it “Technology goes to Church.” His purpose was to inform readers that because of the decrease in weekly donations some churches are now installing ATM machines in the hopes of raising their revenue. The writing of an informative essay (expository essay) incorporates a variety of modes or strategies of writing. Using a variety of these modes to inform and educate the audience will result in the audience having a clearer view of the topic. This can be accomplished...

...For this assignment, you will choose a topic, narrow it, research different points of view about it, and identify your audience in order to develop your angle on the topic. After looking at the list of topics below, which was shared in Week 1’s lecture, choose a topic in which you have more than just a passing interest. The best topic to choose is one which impacts you in some way. Having personal experience with the topic will probably lend some perspective on it and may get you closer to an angle on it. Also, sometimes research can be daunting, but if you have personal experience with the topic, or are even passionate about it, you will probably be more motivated to keep working when the “going gets tough.” Thus, while “interest” in a topic is important, mere interest will probably not sustain you through this project. You might ask yourself, “What is it about this topic that sparks my interest enough to write a ten page paper about it?” Once you choose the topic, please respond to the five questions below. Each of your responses should be approximately two paragraphs in length. This assignment will be graded using the Week 1 Assignment Rubric available in Doc Sharing. Education | Technology | Family | Health and Wellness | School Bullies | Multitasking and Technology | Sexualization of Girls | College Students and Weight Issues | No Child Left Behind Act/Race to the Top | Technology and Social Isolation | Gender Discrimination | Childhood Obesity...

...Abstract: The proposed research is designed to distinguish an answer to the argument that college sports participation takes away from the student’s academic performance. While several studies show that sports participation causes children to do worse in school then those that are not participating in sports, it is unclear if this affiliation is a result of negative academics from the child, or due to the impact of the sports on the kids minds and ability to participate in school. The general focus of this study is on how athletes and non-athlete’s grade are during the school year. The study will examine the effects of sports participation on many different measures of their academic performance. Participants (N-40) will be sent an online...

...The Effects of Children and Sports My research paper explains whether or not playing sports affects young children in their everyday life. The reason I chose this topic is because I am interested in finding out if sports helps children’s social development. The relevance of this topic is to see if there is an improvement in the overall development with children who participate in sports compared to children who do not and if there is a difference, than hopefully sports can be one solution to children who have low self-esteem and do not have many friends and may also help motivate kids to do better in school as well. Based on my research findings, I have found that there are many benefits of sports participation in children. Ultimately, the best reason for children to play sports is to have fun. One major problem our country faces today is childhood obesity. According to Becerra (2009), twenty percent of children in the U.S. are obese, which will increase their risk of many health problems when they reach adulthood. One way children can benefit from playing sports is that it is a fun way to exercise and stay healthy. Not only can sports help children to stay healthy and fit, but it also helps build their self-esteem by giving and receiving encouragement from their coaches and gaining respect from fellow teammates or peers. According to Metzl and Shookhoff (2002), when asked why they play sports, kids say it is to have fun, to improve their skills, to learn new skills, to be...

...Let Them Play! : Benefits of Sports Briana B. Western Governors University WGU Student ID #: ************ Let Them Play! Childhood sports have been proven to provide multiple developmental benefits to all children involved in such programs. The best way for kids to reap all the benefits of sports participation is to submerse them into a program which offers a positive environment with encouraging coaches who instruct with constructive criticism and work to “minimize negative experiences” (Seefeldt & Ewing, 1996, p.3). Research has shown that children who participate in frequent physical activity, such as sports, experience improved academics, have better mental health, and are less likely to take part in risky health behaviors than their less active counterparts. Dr. Daniels, author of “Interscholastic Sports and the Middle School Student”, finds six main points of interest pertaining to the benefits of and liabilities for children who get involved in sports. Out of the six, four are beneficial, and only two are considered to be liabilities. The four positive characteristics of sports are scholastic achievement, competency, fitness, and self-esteem. Whereas the two negative characteristics are sports injuries, stress and anxiety (as cited by Daniels, 1999, p.2). Although Dr. Daniels doesn’t talk about it in her dissertation, one more benefit of kids getting active is their likelihood to avoid the appearance of evil, in other words they are unlikely...

...intro. Nice signposting Discussion I feel the Father, Tony, has determined that some of his children will be given what he feels is a strong supportive and motivating climate to influence them to compete at an elite level in a chosen sport. His reasons for this seem, on the surface, quite selfish. He desires to be the father of an Olympic champion and he thinks if his son becomes a boxing world champion there will be enough money for all of the family to live on. For Venus, that sport is gymnastics where Tony wants Venus to achieve Olympic status. For Romeo, the sport is boxing where Tony wants Romeo to achieve a high profile career leading to a world championship. Yes. Mainly for financial reward it seems. We can draw upon Eccles research concept of...

...Moore, and Elizabeth C. Katz. "Effects Of Gender And Motivations On Perceptions Of Nonmedical Use Of Prescription Stimulants." Journal Of American College Health 62.4 (2014): 255-262. ERIC. Web. 25 July 2016. The use of non medical use prescription stimulant (NMUPS) is more associated with college students, who use this to implement their ability to stay awake and study. Mrs. Lookatch Samantha J. and her colleagues did a studies on how NMUPS affect college student who use this stimulant to enable them studies. Their research yield a great positive result, which clearly shows how NMUPS has a positive effect on their studies like they were able to remember thing that they would not without the use of stimulant. Moreover males are more likely to use stimulants. The authors use of rhetorical strategies of logos is relevant to my topic so I will be using it to prove the use of non medical use prescription stimulant by college students yields a positive...

...I have learned a lot from English 2010 this semester. The writing projects that we were asked to do was very valuable experiences. I learned to write in different styles. I learned to research my subject material, and cite those sources. I learned to manage my time in a way that enabled me to complete all of these projects in a timely manner, while trying to stay on top of my other courses, as well as working around my full-time work schedule. It hasn’t been easy, that’s for sure. There are only so many hours in a day and a week to get those things done that we need to. The assignments that I added to my portfolio were ones that I really liked to work on. It was great to experience a personal interview with an Olympic athlete, and having to find the time to work out an interview with someone whose time is so valuable was a wonderful way to learn about the interview process. I also added my collaborative assignment to my portfolio. This was a harder project to work on because I have never had to write a paper with someone else, let alone with someone that I have never met. I found that being a working student, and having a partner that also works as well as raises a child, it is difficult to find the time to communicate with another party in order to figure out the process that you are going to work through to create a document together. Bottom line…it can be done, and I think that I have a better understanding of what it takes to get this type of task accomplished. Overall...

...is behind every major brand in the world? An iconic sportsman endorsing it. The celebrity status of sportsmen all over the world has continued to grow, especially in the past decade. Sports stars are often regarded as role models and therefore it has been suggested they should only be able to endorse certain brands and messages. I will be arguing in this essay through the example of NBA star LeBron James how I agree due to sporting stars growing influence on society, especially children and teens, they should not be allowed to endorse negative brands or messages such as unhealthy food. The influence of sporting stars in today’s society is major. Most athletes idolised by millions around the globe, kids holding onto every word that comes from their mouths. Think of your childhood idol for a second. When you are a child you are so infatuated by your idols you want to be just like them, do what they do, eat what they eat and wear what they wear. With this kind of influence on thousands of people caution needs to be taken when deciding the brands and messages one can endorse. A case study completed by youth in India provides proof of the influence Sporting Stars can have on our youth. About 14.1% of the children tested admitted to purchase products that appear in ads endorsed by their sporting heroes while 51.6% youngsters say that they make the purchase however, not always. 20.4 % say that they never buy products that appear in ads. Another 13% say that they do not want to...
