As our final major writing project this semester, you will write an autobiographical literacy narrative that explores your emergence as a literate citizen. Broadly speaking, your topic is how you have developed as a reader and a writer through your engagements with language through books and other media. As an autobiographical narrative, you may want to include the following subjects in your narrative: various time periods in your life; literacy activities in elementary, middle, high school, and college; literacy activities in the workplace; your hobbies and personal interests as they relate to literacy; various aspects of literacy including reading, writing, speaking, and other communication activities (not just writing and reading); traditional texts such as books along with non-traditional texts such as films, video games, comic books, etc.; and most importantly, how these subjects shaped, influenced, and affected your literacy development. The goal here is to re-examine your life through the lens of narration and literacy and to bring a meta-awareness to your literacy skills. By doing so, you’ll be able to improve and refine those skills. This reflective activity will also give you a great opportunity to prepare for your portfolio. Your narrative should be between four and six pages. As you generate ideas for this narrative and begin to draft it, consider the following questions: What are some of the key chapters, parts, or stages of your life? What kinds of writing, speaking, and reading did you do during those stages? Who taught you how to write, speak, and read? What role did books play in your youth? Your work life? Your adult life? Your academic life? What role did non-traditional texts play in your literacy development (such as comic books, cartoons, films, etc.)? What influenced your relationship to stories, words, language, and writing? How important was formal education to your literacy development? What other factors – outside of school – influenced you? What role, if any, has writing played in your professional life? What challenges did you encounter when developing your literacy? How did you respond to moments when you realized you weren’t as literate as you needed to be? How did you become more literate as you grew older?

Please deliver ASAP (within 12 hours) Locate (1) print ad in a magazine of your choice and write a 2-3 page analysis answering the questions below. You’ll need to bring in specific supporting points from the ad itself to make your case.

Your analysis on whether you think the ad is effective in reaching its intended target audience? Is the target audience of the ad (based on your analysis) the same as the average reader of the magazine (based on the circulation information you find in the press/media kit)? What brought you to that conclusion? Compare your creative analysis and the information you uncovered in the magazine’s media kit to make your case. It’s perfectly acceptable to think the ad missed the mark based on your research. Offer up reasons why you think it’s reaching the right audience or not. Format of Assignment This paper should be typed (12 point font), double spaced, and written in paragraph style. It should be no more than 3 pages long (excluding attachments) on a standardized paper. ling errors. Attach a copy of the ad to your review. You can attach the original ad from the magazine or take a picture of the ad and include this with your assignment. Remember, your ad must come from a print magazine not from an online search.

The fact that the Constitution does not have a specific clause or reference to a right to privacy has become a very contentious cultural, social, and political issue in the United States. The ability of the government to enter into the private lives of American citizens has clearly been restricted by provisions in the Fourth Amendment, yet the debate over certain privacy based rights such as contraception, abortion rights, and consensual sexual activity continues today. In particular, when discussing abortion, many immediately begin to debate a woman’s right to choose to have an abortion or not. At the heart of the issue constitutionally, is not whether a woman has the right to make this decision but whether she has the right to privacy under the Fourth Amendment. Write Icon Write: In your initial law coursework post of at least 250 words, utilize the Constitution, established case law, and scholarly sources to answer the following questions: How does the right to privacy protect a women’s right to have an abortion or not? Is this a constitutionally valid interpretation of the right to privacy? Why or why not? Do not rely upon personal opinion to make your argument. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references.
