Compose a piece intended for a specific audience in which you propose a solution to your community’s problem. This piece of writing will need to include both a problem and a solution as well as evaluation of your solution. Is this a viable solution? Why or why not? Because you’ll be composing a research project, the text you produce must be set in conversation with others’ texts about the subject and should seek to influence your audience by changing mood, mind, or action. What form your engagement takes, however, will depend on what you elect to compose. Strive as much as possible to create a meaningful text – one that you could use in real life. Goal here is authenticity! What would work best for your community in the real world.
You may elect to compose an article or opinion piece for a local newspaper, an industry newsletter, or academic essay, a letter to a politician, a proposal to a board of directors, a pitch to get funding for a non-profit, a speech someone would present. (Please note that this list is not exhaustive of the kinds of texts you might produce.) The length requirement for this assignment will be determined by the conventions generally observed in the genre and medium you have selected. That said, I expect you to compose a piece of significant critical depth and intellectual engagement – two characteristics that will likely culminate in a longer rather than shorter text. Generally speaking, you should aim for a piece that is over 1,250 words (roughly 5 pages) in length and incorporates at least four sources, but again, the genre you select will determine the length for your particular project and the number of sources you use.
To create a successful research project that meets its rhetorical purpose, you’ll need to, unsurprisingly, do some research. You already have a great deal of information and knowledge about your community. But that existing information and knowledge will need to be complemented by additional research as you construct your piece for a specific audience. In other words, as you likely did when composing your Visual Multi-media Artifact, you’ll need to look deeply into your subject and gather useful information such as statistics, quotations, and evidence from reliable sources.

1989 anthology film New York
Watch the short 46-minute film Life Lessons, part of the 1989 anthology film New York Stories, posted below. Write a short, 3-5 page essay discussing how the film uses the Narrative film language element, as discussed in class.
Answer the following questions:
What is the setting of the story? How does the setting have a dramatic effect on the story?
Describe the film’s main characters. Who is the protagonist? Who is the antagonist? Are they flat or round, dynamic or statis? Which are the main supporting characters?
What is the dramatic crisis of the characters? Is the crisis internal or external?
Focus on the film’s narrative structure. Describe the protagonist’s opening balance, and how the rising action begins. Which are the main rising action events? When does the climax occur, and how does the falling action solve the dramatic crisis? Is the resolution a closed or open ending?
What is the film’s theme(s)? What message do you read in this film?
Leadership-focused
Create a minimum of five pages (content) leadership-focused paper. Your paper should reflect an analysis and summation of a recent article or TV news coverage featuring an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) leadership topic(s). Focus on recent events (2021 or sooner) for your paper.
As you start trying to organize your thoughts, use the following approach:
1. Start with an Introduction that presents the focus or purpose of your paper. Don’t form the introduction statement until you have read all your articles or viewed the television episodes.
2. Next is a Background section that summarizes the articles you choose. Summarize the key concepts of each article into a brief narrative in your own words. Make sure to use quotation marks and citations for sentences, words or phrases lifted off the pages of your articles.
3. In the Analysis section, identify common threads or themes in your articles. What area(s) of leadership do these themes address – leadership style/behavior, traits, motivation, power, charisma, vision, ethics, values, effectiveness, DE&I, etc.? This is the section whereby you will employ your knowledge of leadership. Do all the articles support your thesis, as stated in the introduction? If not, state and explain the areas where there are differences.
4. In a Author’s Opinion section, present your own opinion on the paper. What’s your reaction to the topic?
5. Provide a Conclusion statement.
