Writing Assignment #3: Drama

For our third essay you will focus on one of the several plays we have read in the section on drama. Specifically, you are to choose one from among the following options:

Trifles

1. Number 13 on page 980 – contrast between the play and the short story.

2. Number 2 on page 980 under “Connections to Other Selections” – views on marriage in Trifles and Kate Chopin’s “Story of an Hour.”

3. Number 3 on page 980 under “Connections to Other Selections” – comparing

Mrs. Wright’s motivation for murder with that of Matt Fowler in Andre Dubus’s short story “Killings.”

The Pitch

4. Number 1 on page 1002 under “Connection to Another Selection” – Does Ives’s play Moby-Dude fill George’s prescription that a story be about “nothing”?

Othello the Moor of Venice

5. Number 1 on page 1153 under “Connections to Other Selections” – comparing Desdemona and Nora in Henrik Ibsen’s A Doll House (which we will be reading shortly).

6. Read the section on psychological criticism (p. 1363-65) in Chapter 47, Critical Strategies for Reading.” Choose a soliloquy by Iago and write an analysis of it so that you reveal some significant portion of his character that explains his behavior.

Please read the entire prompt before starting your essay. The references above, except for number six, are condensations of the actual writing assignment.

The working assumption is that you will quote from the play to support your points. You can also use the criticism that follows several of the selections we have read. You can also, if you so choose, do some library and on-line research to further support your analysis. The format, as for all college writing, is MLA. This, of course, means that all sources will be properly documented and cross referenced with a works cited page. The length of the paper is to be a minimum of five full pages NOT including the works cited page.

The final draft is due Saturday, 7/18. No final draft will be accepted without three distinct rough drafts, outline, editing checklist, and proofing checklist.

If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask.

For this week’s assignment, be sure to refer to the Appliance Warehouse Resources: Organizational Staffing document and the Organization Chart created in Week 1.

Directions

In MindTap, review the Appliance Warehouse Case, and do the following:

· Read the Before You Begin Message and the Module 4-7 Appliance Warehouse Webmail Client Emails. Read the messages to help determine the tasks you must complete.

· Review and analyze the weekly Appliance Warehouse case study content and resources.

Create a 3- to 4-page document (to submit in Blackboard) that includes the following:

· Business Case Investigation

· Identify 4 employees you would interview to support your business analysis. For each employee, state the topic(s) you will use for questioning. The interview topics and responses will be used to influence your future design.

· Implementation resources needed for the project

· Identify people and hardware. Human resources may include internal or external resources.

Hi Kevin,

Our new service manager starts work today! This is great news! As our business starts to expand, we must move our software project along.

You will need to talk to some of our employees to better understand the functionality and requirements for the proposed system. This is important because they are the key stakeholders of the system. You should make a list of employees who you will want to interview. I suggest that you learn the process for scheduling an appliance repair appointment and how the parts are obtained for those repair visits. Also, it is important to understand what reports that managers are hoping to extract from the new system. I find it is helpful to write down questions prior to your meetings so that you don’t forget the topics that you want to cover.

My suggestion is to write at least 10 questions per person prior to the meeting. Make sure that you use open-ended questions (at least 7 questions) to get the employees talking. You should also use closed response and range of response questions. I find that each type of question can provide valuable information and are quite useful in requirements gathering.

Please send the questions to me for at least two of the interviews. I’d like to see what you are planning to discuss. Thanks.

Hi Kevin,

We have previously used both the Joint Application Development technique and the Rapid Application Development technique. However, many colleagues of mine swear by the agile technique. Each of these methodologies offer up some great advantages. Since we need to get this project done as quickly as possible, which of these techniques do you think we should use? I want to ensure that we’ve created software that will handle all of our users’ requirements and that it is a robust system.

Thanks.

Carlie

Hi Kevin,

I almost forgot to mention that you’ll want to also send a questionnaire out to the users of the proposed system. Did you want to send the questionnaire to all the users or do you want to do a stratified or systematic sample?

Please send your draft questionnaire to me before you distribute.
