I’m working on a Writing discussion question and need support to help me study.
You need to login to my brightspace (search Dalhosuie brightspace), the account is jl433137@dal.ca and password is Loky0516 Go to PLAN2009——>Assessment———>Assignments——->reading summary week 6.
Each student will write a brief summary for each chapter of the Policy Primer textbook. Each summary will have:
- A summary of key points in the chapter (250 words, maximum) — presenting the main theme and a description of how the authors make their points (use examples from the reading). This week, as there are 2 chapters, each student will write TWO summaries for a total of 500 words in this section. When writing your summaries, ensure you clearly indicate which chapter you are summarizing (e.g. through the use of headings).
- A brief discussion on how the chapter relates to other discussion materials assigned for that week (other readings, videos, etc) (50-100 words, maximum). Think critically. Consider similarities, differences, relationships, cause and effect, gaps in the information, etc. This week, you will discuss how the HRM public hearing additional readings are connected to either chapter 3 or 4. The choice is up to you which chapter you refer to.
- A reflection on how the content relates to things you interact with in your everyday life (50-100 words, maximum): perhaps an experience from the previous week, or some action you are considering, or something you are following in the media. Reflect critically on the experience through the policy lens that is the theme of this week’s reading and lecture or presentation.
- A question for class discussion which is related to that week’s content (50 words or less).
These summaries will be due on the Monday before class at 2:30pm ADT, and APA references are required. Please submit all of the above as ONE (1) document and PDF to the week 5 dropbox.
