Biblical Integration Exercise

Biblical Integration Exercise

Biblical integration is more than just putting a Bible verse or other religious connection into a project. True integration of this type requires the author to address a topic with God’s character in mind. Looking at life situations, and the people involved in this manner should help direct leaders to a better solution than he or she might select on his or her own.

Read and respond to the Biblical Integration Case Study provided in the online classroom. You are required to answer the questions in a 900 word paper written in APA format. This assignment requires the use of six (6) scholarly sources. Limit your literature search to the last five (5) years and select only sources that are full text – PDF. Include a standard APA reference page.

As part of this project, prepare an annotated bibliography. The bibliography will be structured as follows: APA formatted reference (minimum 250 words per reference) followed by summary of key points, evaluation of the quality of the publication, evaluation of the quality of the author(s), where this fits into the assignment, and the library database in which you found the article. The annotated bibliography will be turned in with the associated paper.

Recall that graduate-level writing expects you to not form an opinion and then find evidence to support your position, but rather that you weigh the evidence and respond accordingly. This requires considering at least two views of a situation.

How is the plague personified

How is the plague personified

My general question is: how is the plague personified? And, is there some psychological or perhaps religious benefit to be gained from personifying the plague? Is this process something like the process that leads to the creation of fairy tales and myths? (If you want to look into this, what is Bruno Bettelheim’s explanation of the meaning of fairy tales.)

Do fairy tales only have meaning for children? More specifically, in the image of the 6th plague of Egypt visited upon the Pharaoh — What do you make of the fact that the Pharaoh is represented as a medieval king? Did this provide some kind of meaning for the people of 14-century Spain who made the image?

Public Figure Analysis Writing Assignment

Public Figure Analysis Writing Assignment

The assignment asks to provide a general analysis and evaluation of any speech. Two pages plus a works cited. I will leave the full rubric in the “Materials” section, this is just general information. I will also have a link to the speech that I want the paper to be about here in “Paper Details.” Can’t download the video from Youtube, but this is the link.

SPEECH VIDEO: https://youtu.be/6_uYWDyYNUg

And if for some reason the link that I gave doesn’t work the video is called “Malcolm X’s Fiery Speech Addressing Police Brutality” on Youtube.
“This is to be a critique and an analysis not merely a description of the event. Be sure to take a stand, explain, and defend your views. Use appropriate terminology…

…In well-developed paragraphs, support your assessment of the speaker’s presentation and content using evidence from the speaking event that you are analyzing. Grammar and writing style are very important. Check them both carefully…

…citing examples and evidence from the observed speech to support your claims.”

Teacher wants the papers to cover 4 main ideas when analyzing the speech, again the full rubric is in the “Materials” tab but I’ll put a shortened list of it in here as well.

1. INTRO (Situation) – Name of the speaker. -Date of event. – Place of event. -Pretty much just set and setting

2. CONTENT ANALYSIS AND EVAL. – What was the speaker’s desired response? How do you know? – Was the introduction effective? Why or why not? – What types of support were used? How effective were the speaker’s choices?

3. DELIVERY – How comfortable did the speaker look? – How could the speakers delivery been improved? -Did the speaker maintain eye contact with the audience? How appropriate was it? – How appropriate was the speaker’s pitch/tone?

4. OVERALL – Explain your overall reaction to the speech and event. What, if anything, can you try to incorporate into your own speaking?
