Discussion 9Research and choose one piece (not covered in the textbook) that is an example of a Classical Era concerto, a Classical Era symphony, or a Classical Era chamber sonata. Share the selection with your classmates. Be sure to confirm its authenticity by composer and date of composition. You cannot always trust YouTube labeling.Then, discuss in-depth the musical characteristics that identify your selection as a Classical Era piece. Additionally discuss the musical characteristics that identify it as the genre you chose.Include the YouTube or other link to your piece selection. Cite all sources using MLA format.Discussion 10Discuss a specific piece in relation to the visual art movement(s). How did the visual art influence the composition of this piece? What are the similar characteristics between the two art forms? This can be any composer/musician throughout history and it can be a classical piece or a popular music piece.Tip: Do not choose a performing artist unless they composed the music themselves. For instance, you may only choose a song performed by Beyoncé if she wrote and composed it herself or in collaboration with others.Do not choose a musical example that has already been discussed in the course or text. Include the links to music and visual art for clarity. Cite all sources using MLA format.

Points of View in WritingThere are three different points of view that can be used in writing: first person, second person, and third person. In academic writing, the third person point of view is usually clearer and allows a writer to come across as more credible. As you move toward more formal writing, you will want to write in third person point of view.First person relies on the use of the pronoun “I.” This is the point of view used when writing a personal narrative essay, as you do in weeks one and two. However, it is generally best to avoid referring to yourself, when writing a persuasive or critical essay. Statements like “I believe” or “I think” tend to weaken writing and are better when written in the third person. (example: “The U.S. government needs to pass this law” is better and stronger than “I believe the U.S. government needs to pass this law.”)Second person uses the pronoun “you” to refer to the reader. In second person, you are talking directly to the reader. This can be awkward and can alienate the reader. Consider this:“You left the baby in the car and it was 110 degrees outside. What were you thinking? Do you want to kill your baby?” As opposed to: “She left the baby in the car while chatting on her phone. It was 110 degrees. What was she thinking? Did she want to kill the baby?”Most academic writing does not use 2nd person point of view.Third Person involves directly stating who is being written about without using the words I, me, we, us, or you.To clarify, here are examples of sentences written in the various points of view:First person: I should learn how to write well.Second person: You should learn how to write well.Third person: College students should learn how to write well.As mentioned earlier, most academic essays should be written almost entirely in the third person. The second person should be avoided, and the first person should only be used when using personal examples that help support claims made in the essay. In addition to enhancing credibility, another reason to write primarily in the third person is because frequent changes in point of view can create confusion for the reader.Blog instructions:Respond to the prompts below in no less than 250 words. Be sure to use as many sensory details as possible.Using first person point of view – “I” – describe your favorite holiday.Using second person point of view – “you” – describe a place that everyone should visit at least once.Using third person point of view –“he or she”– describe a person you admire. or a person you dislike (this can be fictional)Sample description using second-person point of view: “You stand in the steaming kitchen with people you haven’t seen in almost a year. You wish your shirt didn’t have that tiny stain on the cuff. You wish your aunt’s laugh wasn’t quite so brittle. Feet stomp on the porch and you hurry to let your tall uncle in, forgetting to keep the dog from escaping outside…”

the_griffin_and_the_minor_canon_by_pandagulung-d7obsv2.jpgThis assignment is due on February 11thThe Griffin and the Minor Canon (americanliterature.com)The assignment for this short story is to answer interpretive questions. Interpretive questions ask for your opinion, based on the facts you obtained by reading the story. Usually a factual question and answer asks you to look only for one or two facts, but an interpretive answer requires a different kind of thinking. Interpretive answers require inferences from what is stated directly. That means you have to infer the answer from the facts you gained in the reading of the story.Here is an example of an interpretive question followed by an interpretive answer from this same short story:Are we meant to regard the Griffin as a good monster?

A strong narrative focuses on a single event or conflict and builds from introduction to body to a resolution. Descriptive language brings the reader into the experience; consider carefully how you describe each scene. Show—don’t tell. Telling informs the reader by stating facts. “She was angry.” Show describes a scene. “She grabbed the wilted flowers and threw them in his face.” Telling repeats a list or series of actions, often without stopping to describe what happened. Showing shares concrete sensory details to capture the scene in which the event takes place.To submit your assignment, click on the title Week 1 Assignment: Narrative Outline and Worksheet.
