Students will choose a book of the Old Testament and submit a critical introduction for the Old Testament book of their choice. The book I chose was Eclesiastes
The sources of this information should come from at least three other Introduction to the Old Testament books listed in the Selected Bibliography at the end of the syllabus. (See attachment)
Do not copy word for word from the resources. Paraphrase the information (i.e., write the information in your own words) and cite the resources using Turabian style format. If you do not know how to cite using Turabian, there are several free online resources that will help you.
The Critical Introduction must be 4-5 pages in length (double spaced and typed in a 12-point fount of your choice).
The Critical Introduction should include the headings provided below and should contain well-developed paragraphs.
The Critical Introduction should include the following information with a description for each heading:
Title of the Book
Authorship. There are debates concerning the authorship of certain books of the Bible. If it applies, students should reference the major debates.
Date of Composition
Major events of the book. This section should note the ancient context. For example, the book of Ezekiel was written to the exiles. Students should include a brief account of the historical events, political situation, etc., that led to the Babylonian invasion.
Broad outline/structure of the book
Purpose and message of the book
Theme(s) of the book
Any other important information for understanding the book.
In addition to any feedback you received from me regarding your thesis/outline, use the worksheets/feedback you completed for CR #1, CR #2, and CR #3 in order to craft your rough draft. Also, be sure you have read the Guidelines for Essay #1 very carefully before drafting. While the final draft must be 1,500-2,500 words, you should aim for a minimum of 1,000 words for this rough draft. Please note that this draft will be graded credit/no-credit and awarded 1 point per 100 words, up to 10 points. Once you have submitted your rough draft here, you will then provide feedback to a minimum of two peers. Please start with a peer who does not have feedback yet so that everyone gets at least one peer review. Please read the directions carefully below since this is a different style discussion assignment that our usual ones. You’ll note that this entire assignment is worth 20 points. 10 points for a draft submission, and 5 points for each peer you respond to. Keep in mind that because these peer groups are smaller, if you’re the first person to post, you will likely have to check back a few times before you see other submissions.
The feedback I got from the teacher about my Outline Essay.
You did a nice job of easing the reader into your topic (comics) and introducing both articles! 1) One thing you should add in this introduction paragraph is T-GAP for both authors (tone, specific genre, target audience, and purpose). You should do this before discussing rhetorical strategies or appeals. 2) Your thesis is not addressing the key question from the guidelines for this assignment: who crafted a more effective argument and why? Be sure to list the different rhetorical strategies you’ll go on to discuss in your body paragraphs. 3) Your body paragraph topics are focusing on what the authors are saying, but they should be focusing on what the authors are doing by comparing their use of appeals, fallacies, organizational strategies, assumptions, etc.
Vitruvius’s first-century BCE text
De Architectura
(The Ten Books on Architecture) is considered to be one of the earliest forms of writing that attempt systematize architecture as a body of knowledge. As such, it has often been referred to as the “first book of architecture.” However, we
know that De Architectura was not in fact a book but a series of ten scrolls. We also know that the book itself did not present a single “work” of architecture (in the form of a real or ideal building), but only the types of information necessary to produce architecture — a codified system of knowledge. What is the relationship between the body of the book and the body of knowledge it presents?
This assignment asks you to analyze the design of De Architectura as it relates to Vitrivius ideas of architecture. You will employ a formal analysis of De Architectura, looking closely at both the body of the treatise as it was presented in antiquity (what did it look like?), in order elaborate on the body of knowledge it presents. Begin by describing how the form of the “book” relate to the ideas presented in the treatise. To whom is the book addressed? How do notions of numerics, ordering, and geometry inform the body of the book? What are the chapters of De Architectura and how are they organized in relation to one another? What are the privileged forms of knowledge or scientia? Why is there a chapter on machines? What is the relationship between image and text? Is the treatise primarily a visual or a textual source.
No external sources. Base your response on the author’s conversation in the assigned book and, as an add-on, you can tie in lectures, multimedia, and your own personal experiences, stories, and examples.

Evaluative Dimension #1:
SUPPORTED DOCUMENTATION (30 points)
In your essay or book review, I ask you to make sure to discuss and analyze the histories, identities, and experiences that make up American History based on the book. The groups to be included are Asian Americans, African Americans, European Americans, Mexican Americans, and Native Americans. Leaving out one or more groups may result in a grade deduction.
My hope is that you’ll entertain a broad range of topics, issues, concepts, and groups in your book review. To ensure you are discussing relevant topics discussed by Takaki in your essay, here is a list of prompts that you will want to consider (but not required) as you outline your book review.*
Define and discuss race and ethnicity.
Describe how indigenous and Native American culture and identity under European colonialism.
Describe and discuss the African Americans experience.
Discuss Takaki’s concept of El Norte and the Mexican American experience.
Discuss World War II and it’s dilemmas, with Japanese-Americans and African-Americans.
Describe and discuss the role of ethnicity or race in shaping Euro-American identity.
[OPTIONAL] Define and discuss Takaki’s notion of “We Will All Be Minorities.
*I would like you incorporate responses to at least four (4) of the prompts/questions above to ensure the scope of your review is broad enough to include multiple histories that make up American History.
