In Dennis Burgess article ‘ObesityPproblem stems from Laziness’, he adresses the root cause of obesity. Burgess claims the root of obesity to be laziness. He argues that America does not have an ‘obesity problem’, rather a ‘laziness problem’. More specifically, Burgess makes mention of the correlation between children and parents concerning obesity. ‘As a child, I would go outside and “play”. This involved getting up off the couch and exerting myself. But many of today’s children don’t participate in this type of play. And many of today’s parents sit on the couch right next to them’ (Dennis B. Burgess).

Parents do indeed play a role in their children’s health and ultimately have some effect on their children’s health. Healthy kids most often have healthy parents who encourage their kids good health by setting the example well and partaking in activity with their kids.

Andrea Freeman addresses the issue of fast food in her article ‘Fast Food: Oppression Through Poor Nutrition.’ Freeman considers fast food in respects to low- income families. ‘Fast food has become a major source of nutrition in low- income, urban neighborhoods across the United States’ (Freeman, pg. 1).

Burgess makes the correlation by stating that the parents often times discourage active play by not setting the example. Parents would rather sit with their kids on the couch than take the initiative and go outside with their kids and take a walk or play ball.

Less privelaged families must make do with their current financial situation. The easiest most convenient food source for low- income families is that of fast food. Therefore, parents have a direct effect on their children’s health.

he author argues

The author mentions the possibility of a change in design of our surrounds might help aid in the fight against obesity. 

In his deliberately provocative — and deeply nihilistic — new book, “Reality Hunger,” the onetime novelist David Shields asserts that fiction “has never seemed less central to the culture’s sense of itself.”

Mr. Shields’s book consists of 618 fragments, including hundreds of quotations taken from other writers like Philip Roth, Joan Didion and Saul Bellow — quotations that Mr. Shields, 53, has taken out of context and in some cases, he says, “also revised, at least a little — for the sake of compression, consistency or whim.”

It’s also a question, as Mr. Lanier, 49, astutely points out in his new book, “You Are Not a Gadget,” of how online collectivism, social networking and popular software designs are changing the way people think and process information, a question of what becomes of originality and imagination in a world that prizes “metaness” and regards the mash-up as “more important than the sources who were mashed.”

这篇作文的目的是看学生对自己的人生有没有什么规划。任何大学都希望自己的学生和校友成功，而有雄心有计划的人成功的可能性会更高一些。这个题目并不难写，如果你想当导演，第217页可能是写你在奥斯卡奖颁奖仪式上焦急地等待结果；如果你想从政，第217页可能是写到你作为新科参议员视察飓风袭击后的灾区的情景。写什么都可以，你的想象力是唯一的障碍。如果你说我不知道我想做什么(这也常见)，那就编一个，没人会找你算账的。最后别忘记提到你在宾大接受的教育在你成功中起到的作用，这样你就给大学一个录取你的好理由。

Using the quotation below as a jumping off point, tell us about an event or experience that helped you define one of your values or changed how you approach the world.     "Some questions cannot be answered./ They become familiar weights in the hand,/ Round stones pulled from the pocket, unyielding and cool."

High school writers often fail to include dialogue in their stories. Perhaps this is because they over-rely on telling (1) narratives. Or perhaps skipping dialogue is a strategy that allows students to elude the punctuation rules that accompany quotations

In diesem Zusammenhang wäre es auch wichtig, die Ausbildung der Studierenden im Umgang mit den sozialen Medien zu fördern und dies curricular in den Studienablauf einzubinden.

Sehgewohnheiten, die sich gerade in Richtung „Listen“ verschieben, weil das die häufigste Präsentationsform von Information in den sozialen Medien ist.

mehr Forschung über unsere gegenwärtige Internetkultur und eine größere Reflektion über unser Tun im Netz notwendig sind.

A PLAGIARISM CRIB SHEET To avoid trouble, follow these tips: * Always attribute words or ideas that didn't originate from you. * Use quotation marks and proper citation when you copy large sections of text. * If you're paraphrasing, use your own words to express the idea, and cite the source. * Better to err on the side of too much attribution than too little. * Don't buy or borrow an assiqnment-from the Web or elsewhere.

Your introduction is an important road map for the rest of your paper.

your introduction should contain a thesis that will assert your main argument. It should also, ideally, give the reader a sense of the kinds of information you will use to make that argument and the general organization of the paragraphs and pages that will follow. After reading your introduction, your readers should not have any major surprises in store when they read the main body of your paper.

Four Corners and Anticipation Guides:Both of these techniques “activate schema” by asking students to react in some way to a series of controversial statements about a topic they are about to study. In Four Corners, students move around the room to show their degree of agreement or disagreement with various statements — about, for instance, the health risks of tanning, or the purpose of college, or dystopian teen literature. An anticipation guide does the same thing, though generally students simply react in writing to a list of statements on a handout. In this warm-up to a lesson on some of the controversies currently raging over school reform, students can use the statements we provide in either of these ways.

Gallery Walks:A rich way to build background on a topic at the beginning of a unit (or showcase learning at the end), Gallery Walks for this purpose are usually teacher-created collections of images, articles, maps, quotations, graphs and other written and visual texts that can immerse students in information about a broad subject. Students circulate through the gallery, reading, writing and talking about what they see.
