Discuss, while protecting confidentiality, a case example of codependency, dual diagnosis, addiction, or substance abuse you have encountered during your clinical field experience.
Part 2
For your final Writing Assignment, you have three choices. Please choose one of the following prompts and begin drafting your assignment. As long as I see earnest effort, I won’t be terribly strict about word count this week. Please use what you create for the discussion in the Writing Assignment itself.
Choose one of the following options to complete.

  1. view Artemisia Gentileschi’s Judith Beheading Holofernes, c. 1612. Answer thefollowing in essay form using 200 – 250 words.
    1. What is happening in this picture? Why?
    2. What does this picture teach us in regard to morality?
    3. Read about the context of this painter on pp. 108 – 109. After reading this section, how does this changehow you view this painting? Does this context add another layer of understanding to the action of the painting?
  2. Write a love song. You may write your own music, or use someone else’s musical score, but give them credit (Rolling Stones, “I Can’t Get No Satisfaction”). Explain using 200 – 250 words, what kind of love you are extolling and who this song is dedicated to and why.
  3. What music, poetry, sculpture, paintings, architecture, dance, theatre, or cinema art form would you like to have performed or viewed at your funeral to express your life? Explain in detail, using 200 – 250 words, why you have chosen the various pieces to affirm your life.

theatre

 
While theatre (almost) came to a stand still during Medieval Times, religious vernacular drama, about biblical figures or events, survived – partly because much of this religious drama was being produced theatrically within the confines of the church.  Out of this drama, came morality plays.  This type of drama, often considered “less” religious and “more” humanistic (from a socially and cultural point of view, because it taught moral lessons to society), has had a significant and lasting impact on theatre and culture in the western world.
Everyman remains the most popular example of a morality play.  After reading the play and doing some additional research on its themes, storyline and characters, your skills of creative writing will now be employed.  This assignment requires you to:

This new interpretation could include (but not be limited by) contemporary images and/or moral concerns; personification and interaction of vices and/or virtues; and themes or lessons for a modern day “Everyperson”.
This assignment should be typed and proofread (4-5 pages in length).  The final choice of how this assignment will be presented (i.e. a fairy tale, short story) is strictly up to you.  Think originality and creativity – images, graphics, Powerpoint/Prezi presentations, video links, etc. are always encouraged to help tell your story.  Some additional research may be needed (remember to document your sources in a bibliography).  Early submissions are always accepted.  Please be aware of spelling, punctuation, grammar, capitalization, etc.  This assignment will be graded according to the Written Assignment 1 Rubric.
The Everyman link provided (sometimes) does not open on all computers.  If that is the case for you, use this alternative translation.
