For this assessment, you will report on the information that you collected in your interview, analyzing the interview data and identifying a past or current issue that would benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. This could be an issue that has not been addressed by an interdisciplinary approach or one that could benefit from improvements related to the interdisciplinary approach currently being used. You will discuss the interview strategy that you used to collect information. Your interview strategy should be supported by citations from the literature. Additionally, you will start laying the foundation for your Interdisciplinary Plan Proposal (Assessment 3) by researching potential change theories, leadership strategies, and collaboration approaches that could be relevant to issue you have identified. Please be certain to review the scoring guide to confirm specific required elements of this assessment. Note that there are differences between basic, proficient and distinguished scores.

When submitting your plan, use the Interview and Issue Identification Template [DOCX],  Download Interview and Issue Identification Template [DOCX],which will help you to stay organized and concise.

Psych Selfie #2

“Psychology Selfie”

This assignment entails you to take a picture of yourself (or have someone take it) that demonstrates a psychological concept from the most recent units (Chapters 8- 15). Please post the photo in the body of your thread.   In addition to your photo, you need to write a paragraph (minimum 5 -7 sentences) that defines the concept in your own words using in-text citations for your paraphrased definition. That paragraph needs to explain how your photo relates to the concept being depicted.  

You need to then do research about this concept, refer to it, and use it to do any one of the following: Explain the concept better to someone else by going into more detail, comparing what your research says to what your textbook says, explaining how this informed you, or something along those lines. This should be a paragraph (minimum 5 – 7 sentences). You must use in-text citations in reference to the material you use for every source you use.  You should not be quoting your sources, you should be paraphrasing and using in text citations for the paraphrases.

In addition, please comment on how understanding/applying this concept could add value to your life or someone else’s minimum a paragraph, (minimum 5 – 7 sentences). You can incorporate your research here instead if that makes more sense. If you incorporate the research here, you must use in-text citations here.

Doing just the bare minimum may not allow you to obtain full credit. Be thorough in your explanations.

• You may not duplicate someone else’s concept. So you must check the prior posts to make sure you are not copying anyone. (ex. If they chose anterograde amnesia you could do retrograde amnesia but not anterograde).
• You may not use general chapter titles as the main concept (ex. you cannot use “memory,” “learning,” “sensation” etc. but you could use extinction, absolute threshold, aptitude test ex.)
• You must have a reference to your textbook and the source you researched and use in text citations for each one.
• Those references must be included at the bottom of your post.

To submit the assignment you will post it here by creating a new thread in the forum. When you have finished, go back to the discussion board and insure that your photo is visible to everyone. To insert the photo, go to the rich content editor at the top of the window and click embed image (it’s the fifth icon in that looks like a mountain and a sun) or follow the instructions hereLinks to an external site..

 This is worth 50 points.

A SOAP is a rhetorical guide that helps the writer to grasp the precise nature of a writing assignment. For the three news analyses you will be conducting this semester, your SOAP can be broken down as follows:

• Subject = A summary on a news or journal article
• Occasion = An evaluative summary that demonstrates the student’s knowledge of how to format and write a proper summary, as well as analyze and evaluate the content of the original source.
• Audience = Your instructor.
• Purpose = The purpose will be to summarize and analyze/evaluate the article you have chosen.

Your writing task: Choose a story that has appeared in the news within the past 60 days. Find at least two articles about the event you have picked to use as part of this story.

First, write a section about news literacy 

Then, you will need to choose an event and two articles–the articles should be from two different sources. Pick something timely and something that you have an interest in. Next, summarize the articles. Be sure to include the most relevant details and leave out the unnecessary and extraneous details. Third, evaluate the articles. Was the writing clear and concise? Did the author do a good job of conveying the information to you as a reader? What do you think about the information being reported? How do the articles compare/contrast to one another? Is there similar information? Different viewpoints or perspectives? Finally, proofread for errors.

Write a conclusion that brings your work to an end — is the event you picked still ongoing? What are some of the takeaways you can offer to the audience about the event? How can people continue to stay informed and what are the best strategies for consuming the news. 

Develop your thesis statement. Conduct research. Organize your evidence and prove your point. Conclude thoughtfully. Cite your sources in text!

Here is a sample of the sections your work should include. The template is attached:

• Introduction: Begin the work, discuss the relationship or concept of new literacy (what is news literacy?) and how it links to the course theme (Building Resiliency from Tragedy: Understanding Hate, Loss, Violence, and Reconcilation).
• About News Literacy: provide information on the pros/cons of news literacy. Use some of the resources we discussed at this point in the semester (Week 6 and Week 7 folders) and illustrate the challenges of news literacy, the role fake news plays, etc.
• Analyzing the News: Here you must summarize and evaluate each of your articles. This section should be at least three paragraphs. The first paragraph is about the first article; the second paragraph is about the second article; the third paragraph is the comparison/contrast of the articles. 
• Conclusion: End the work thoughtfully. Recap the major points and explain what the reader should have learned from the work. If applicable, make recommendations on how to improve news literacy in society.

Remember: Websites like Wikipedia.org, eNotes.com, etc. are not considered academic sources for this assignment. Your personal opinion is not necessary—write in the third person voice.

You may also choose to incorporate comments and reflection on video content (anything that we saw in class or video you have found that could support your ideas).

After you have done your research, write your work.

• Be sure you write a strong introduction. The introduction should introduce the concept of your work, defining important ideas and terms. The introduction should end with a specific thesis that makes a clear informative or persuasive stance
• The body should discuss the evidence that supports your thesis (with specific examples from your researched articles). Remember to connect the material and explain its importance to your audience. Don’t just summarize the information, but show how it exemplifies your thesis. State the so-what. Say what you what to say and then explain why it’s important.
• Finally, the work should have a strong conclusion that sums up the work and tells the reader what the takeaway of your research is; how significant is all this? How does it connect to our course theme?

Please implement APA style in-text citations and create a References page, using APA style.

Your work should have a proper title page as page 1; and then an abstract on page 2. Your work should begin on page 3.

   For extra credit, you may submit a review of a film that seems to show psychological principles throughout it.

To earn extra credit  you need to:

• Find at least TWO concepts you saw in the film related to any of the chapters in your psychology textbook. 
• Explain how these two concepts relate to the class including defining the psychological terms. Entries that do not sufficiently explain how the example relates to class will not receive full credit. (E.g. posting a link and saying “This article talks about parts of the brain” is not sufficient). Make sure to cite your textbook for definitions.
• Make sure you bold the terms for ease of locating them in the paragraphs.
• This is expected to be no more than two paragraphs long.

Grading

This extra credit is worth up to 5 points. No late film analyses will be accepted.
