Below is a draft outline of what is expected for the 3-2 activity assignment. This
assignment is one of the building blocks of your final essay due at the end of week
7.
This assignment should be in essay format, but you need to use subheaders to
clarify each section. You can learn more aobut how to use headings and sections
here at the Purdue OWL:

d_style_guide/apa_headings_and_seriation.html
To clarify, the reliable evidence from varied sources is NOT a separate section, it is
support to be used throughout each of the other sections. You are graded on
the type of academic evidence (valid, reliable) you use as well as how it is used and
attributed (cited) in your essay.
Make sure you clearly address each of these required criteria in your essay:
1. Cover page
2. Discuss how you would constructively collaborate with your population to encourage
their engagement with your chosen topic.
a. Use reliable evidence from varied sources
3. Describe at least one positive element within your topic that supports
transformation.
a. Use reliable evidence from varied sources
4. Describe at least one specific element within your topic that could benefit from
change.
a. Use reliable evidence from varied sources
5. Reference page
PLEASE DO NOT USE OTHER REFERENCE THAT IS NOT
IN THE MATERIAL PROVIDED.
Overview
For this activity, you will critically analyze how those within your chosen
population engage with your topic. You will identify what is already working
well and opportunities for change. Completing this activity will result in a draft
of the critical analysis section of your project. It also provides an opportunity
to obtain valuable feedback from your instructor that you can incorporate into
your project submission.
Directions
In this activity, you will consider the elements of your topic you can develop to
encourage, promote, and transform conversations about diversity. Include
diverse perspectives from varied sources to support your points. You should
continue to gather the sources you will integrate into your final project, which
include two resources from course materials and two resources from the
library. Look to the SNHU Shapiro Library for assistance in finding evidence
and resources from outside the course. For this activity, you will discuss how
to collaborate constructively with your chosen population group. You will then
describe at least one positive element related to your topic and, finally, one
element that could benefit from change.
.
Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:
1. Integrate reliable evidence from varied sources throughout your
paper to support your analysis.
a. It is important to draw from a more diverse pool of perspectives
from varied sources to support the analysis. This is different from
the Citations and Attributions rubric criterion.
b. Reliable evidence from varied sources should be interwoven
throughout the paper itself, while citing and attributing sources
will be represented as APA in-text citations and a reference list at
the end of your work.
c. You will be evaluated on both criteria.
2. Discuss how you would constructively collaborate with your
population to encourage their engagement with your chosen topic.
a. Consider how you would develop a dialogue with your population
about the topic you have chosen. What are your ideas for
supporting constructive and inclusive conversation and programs
of engagement?
3. Describe at least one positive element within your topic that supports
transformation.
a. What conversational and collaborative approaches have already
been successful? Visualize how this positive element could have a
ripple effect towards a transformative conversation about your
topic. This is not simply your opinion but should be supported by
reliable evidence.
b. If you do not think your topic has been engaged with positively or
successfully, explain why you have come to this conclusion.
4. Describe at least one specific element within your topic that
could benefit from change.
a. What potential opportunities are there to improve your topic?
What could be done differently to encourage, promote, or
transform your topic? Build off ways that your topic has been
discussed and represented in the past. This is not simply your
opinion but should be supported by reliable evidence.
What to Submit
Submit your paper as a 2- to3 -page Microsoft Word document with double
spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources
should be cited according to APA style. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style
Guide for more information on citations.
