English Individual Oral

LOverview: The individual oral (IO) is a 10-minute presentation on 1 literary and 1 non-literary text and a global issue, followed by a 5 minute discussion between the student and the teacher. Students speak for 5 minutes on each (extract from a) text, showing how the author of each text explores a global issue. Students select the texts and the global issue and prepare a one-page outline of no more than 10 bullet points. During the exam with their teacher, students must bring the outline and unannotated copies of the extracts. Students must notify teachers of their choices of texts and issues at least one week before the exam.
Purpose Prompt: Examine the ways in which the global issue (GI) of your choice is presented through the content and form of one of the [literary] works and one of the [non-literary] bodies of work (BOWs) that you have studied.
Literary Work: Novel, 10 short stories, 15-20 poems, novella, drama
Non Literary Body of Work: All of the texts are created by the same author or organization and in the same format (eg. 10 print ads by Nike)
Texts: For 2021 Spring Practice Exams, the following texts are options:
Literary: Ray Bradbury Short Stories, Isaac Asimov Short Stories, Robert Frost Poetry, Sophocles Oedipus Rex
Non- Literary: MADD Commercials, Banksy Street Art, Ruth Bader Ginsberg Speeches, Time Magazine Covers
All text will be uploaded to Edmodo by your teacher for you to browse through and select
Defining a Global Issue:
A global issue needs to be:
Significant on a large scale
Transnational
Felt in everyday or local contexts
Fields of Inquiry to Consider:
Culture, identity, community
Beliefs, values, education
Politics, power and justice
Art, creativity, imagination
Science, technology and the environment
Example:
(Global Issue: industrialization) + (Field of Study: environment)
Thesis: William Wordsworths poetry and Hayao Miyazakis Spirited Away demonstrate how the spread of industrialization has negative impacts on the environment

I would also like an extra document with a script of the speech for me to read out along with the annoted analysis and the document.

Ecology and the Environment

After learning about several ways in which our everyday actions impact climate change, choose one action to conduct more research on and create a PowerPoint presentation to tell us more! Use the unit material and reliable online resources to gather more information.
There are several ideas with information throughout the unit but there is even more information out in the world! Think about what you do every day, and how the activity uses energy or natural resources. Think about a product you buyhow it was made, what natural resources were used to make it? You can also do a quick google search of everyday activities that effect the environment and start reading some articles for more ideas.
Remember to use reliable sources from the Internet. There is a lot of misinformation out there and finding reliable information can be difficult. The best sources of reference material for your presentation are scientific journals found in the CSU Online Library databases. Click here for a biology research tutorial that demonstrates how to locate library resources relating to biology You can also find reliable statistics at organization websites listed in the Unit under Combat Climate Change.
Your presentation must include:
What everyday activity or product have you chosen to present? Why did you choose this activity or product? Why is it important?
Connect the activity/product to its impact on the environment and climate change. How does doing the activity or making the product use natural resources, disrupt habitat, impact wildlife or other effects on the environment?
Report data and statistics, with references, on how this activity/product effects the environment.
What can people do to decrease the activity/products impact on the environment?
Be sure to follow the formatting and guidelines provided below:
Include at least three visual aids.
Include three reliable references, and at least one source must come from the CSU Online Library.
Use bulleted information on slides (five lines or fewer).
Include substantial and detailed speaker’s notes that include what you would say in an actual presentation. The speaker’s notes should also reflect the depth of your research.
Include a separate title slide and separate reference slide.
Use an appropriate font and background.
Include at least 11 slides, but not more than 15 slides (not counting your title slide and reference slide).
Use correct APA format for references and citations, and use correct grammar and spelling.
Upload the presentation as a .ppt or .pptx file.

Confidence Intervals

Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:
Textbook: Chapter 8
Lesson
Minimum of 1 scholarly source
In your reference for this assignment, be sure to include both your text/class materials AND your outside reading(s).
Confidence Intervals
In everyday terms, a confidence interval is the range of values around a sample statistic (such as mean or proportion) within which clinicians can expect to get the same results if they repeat the study protocol or intervention, including measuring the same outcomes the same ways. As you ask yourself, “Will I get the same results if I use this research?”, you must address the precision of study findings, which is determined by the Confidence Interval. If the CI around the sample statistic is narrow, you can be confident you will get close to the same results if you implement the same research in your practice.
Consider the following example. Suppose that you did a systematic review of studies on the effect of tai chi exercise on sleep quality, and you found that tai chi affected sleep quality in older people. If, according to your study, you found the lower boundary of the CI to be .49, the study statistic to be 0.87, and the upper boundary to be 1.25, this would mean that each end limit is 0.38 from the sample statistic, which is a relatively narrow CI.
(UB + LB)/2 = Statistic [(1.25 + .49)/2 = .87]
Keep in mind that a mean difference of 0 indicates there is no difference; this CI does not contain 0. Therefore, the sample statistic is statistically significant and unlikely to occur by chance.
Because this was a systematic review, and tai chi exercise has been established from the studies you assessed as helping people sleep, based on the sample statistics and the CI, clinicians could now use your study and confidently include tai chi exercises among possible recommendations for patients who have difficulty sleeping.
Now you can apply your knowledge of CIs to create your own studies and make wise decisions about whether to base your patient care on a particular research finding.
Initial Post Instructions
Thinking of the many variables tracked by hospitals and doctors’ offices, confidence intervals could be created for population parameters (such as means or proportions) that were calculated from many of them. Choose a topic of study that is tracked (or that you would like to see tracked) from your place of work. Discuss the variable and parameter (mean or proportion) you chose, and explain why you would use these to create an interval that captures the true value of the parameter of patients with 95% confidence.
Consider the following:
How would changing the confidence interval to 90% or 99% affect the study? Which of these values (90%, 95%, or 99%) would best suit the confidence level according to the type of study chosen? How might the study findings be presented to those in charge in an attempt to affect change at the workplace?

Hello everyone,
According to our textbook, “the point of estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals”. One of the most relevant issues today is the vaccination process against covid 19. For this reason, it is useful to establish measures on the process, for example, to know what is the number of vaccinated in the state during the year 2021, as the data varies and the population is long, a confidence interval on the average number of vaccinated can be used to establish a reference on the real number, in this case, we have variable= number of vaccinated in the state during the year 2021. Parameter=average=mean. This article, called ” coronavirus disease 2019 vaccine not effective against infection variant, responds to the part of variables that are being studied and why it would be used to make a confidence interval. For example, one of the study variables is the level of hospitalization after receiving a vaccine treatment in patients between 18 and 64 years of age. In this case, the variable is the measure in a proportion, where the percentage represents the number of hospitalizations. The confidence interval is useful to establish a reference of real changes in the reduction of hospitalization due to covid based on a specific sample, without the need to measure the entire population. As it is not possible for us to know the exact value of population parameter (population mean or population proportion) who were vaccinated, so we select a random sample from the population. Then we calculate the mean and standard deviation of that random sample to create a 95% CI for the population parameter. Although we can never know the exact value of the population parameter, by constructing a 95% confidence interval, we can say that we are 95% confident that the population parameter will lie in this interval. So, 95%. Confidence interval means you can capture true value of the population parameter with 95% confidence.
