Advocacy Project on Virtual learning

i already have a rough draft with ideas and 2000 words + multiple sources already used. I just need a final version of this project with a few more sources and I need you to address my teachers comments. This project is about proposing a solution to the problem of grades falling once we went to virtual learning. I have attached the current draft which you can work off of.

This is what my teacher had to say about it:
“You’ve got a lot of great stuff here. A couple things: aim for a more formal (less conversational) tone. At this point, you want to frame your solutions with your own argument and advocacy, rather than as “ideas” pitched by others. Presumably there’s no sports or bands if we’re in zoom school because of a pandemic, right? It’s not always clear in your writing whether this is a solution for the next pandemic, or something we should implement in-person, too. It’s contradictory when you say, at the beginning, that learning can’t be measured, but then on page 3 say that a study showed no difference in scores where students had a 4-day school week. At this point, I think your argument about a pass/ fail system could be stronger. At the end of the day, grades aren’t meant to measure how hard a student is trying; they measure how much a student can do. Can you make your argument another way, that acknowledges, say, the obstacle that American schoolchildren are already behind students in other countries? Likewise, I’m not sure it helps your argument to assume unrealistic things like that college should be an equal opportunity for everyone. Even if that’s how it should be, it’s absolutely not. It’s important to show how your solution could realistically be implemented.”

Please address those concerns and meet the minimum requirements.

Scenario: You are an event company, and you have just been contacted by Mr. and Mrs. Kumar to organize the engagement party of their son, Raj, with Ms. Priya Patel. The event will take place during the weekend of October 14th to 16th, 2022.
They want the event to take place in the most amazing destination. They are flexible, and their guests are coming from all over the world. They ask you to select the location that you believe will allow the organize the best event.
Their expectations:
· Welcome drink on Friday evening.
· Brunch/Lunch & suggested activities on Saturday.
· Saturday evening: engagement party. With a famous performer from 20h00 to 20h30.
· Budget: 2 mio dollars.
You are in competition with other event companies and need to present to Mr. and Mrs. Kumar the best project so they will sign the contract with you: the decision will be taken after the final presentations from all the agencies.
They are giving you a guest list with details of arrivals and departure dates so you can organize the rooms accordingly. Some information is missing but they will not be able to provide more details before you win the contract.
All required deliverables are detailed in the PowerPoint “Project Support” available on Moodle.
Special note: we will consider that the pandemic situation that the world is currently facing does not exist in our scenario.

All sections should be written in a bullet point style and must be supported by arguments with academic literature where appropriate. The report should NOT be written as an essay. You are recommended to use tables, diagrams and pictures as much as possible.
Each step of the processes is dependent on the flow of customers, information, and material. Some of these sources are readily available, others must be coordinated with other departments, or sources from outside the company.
It is expected that the students apply taught concepts and theories, through reference to academic literature.

Chapter 12 begins with a mostly positive assessment of the Obama administration’s use of public relations. Now that we have a different President, how would you assess the public relations efforts of the new administration? What advice would you give to the Biden administration? Consider their use of media, their spokespeople, and the nature and content of their communications.

Consider their use of media, their spokespeople, and the nature and content of their communications.
When discussing, please avoid any argument of the administration’s policies themselves. For example, many of us may have opinions (positive or negative) about the policies that are being pursued by the government. Please keep the discussion only on how policy is being communicated. Remember that the administration is invested in enacting its policies and communicating them effectively. Let’s assess that, and not the merits of the policies themselves. Above all, respect each others’ opinions!

Is the thesis clear in every genre?

This is where you will submit the first draft of 2 genres and their endnotes and where you will upload your peer review in the comments box. Remember that the first draft is worth 100 points and the peer review is worth 60. They will be graded separately, so don’t worry if your grade seems low at first.
**Here is the peer review for the Multi-Genre project. Please answer these questions THOROUGHLY. Also, feel free to mark up your partner’s work.**
1. Is the thesis clear in every genre?
2. Is the argument presented effectively and appropriately for the chosen genre?
3. Is the language appropriate for the chosen genre?
4. How well does the writer use ethos, pathos, and logos in each genre?
5. Is the genre appropriate for the topic?
6. Are the endnotes written professionally (no jargon, no misspellings)? Are they clear? Do they provide the reader with informative points that their genres could not?
7. What are the writer’s strengths and weaknesses in each of these drafts?

my subject
The subject of several of my genres is the relationship between the child and the parents. I decided to choose this topic because I believe that respect, intimacy, and a healthy relationship are very important in the family. Many families do not live together and have no pleasure in living together. The absence of parents has a bad psychological effect on the child in the long run. I also want to talk about the child’s emotional problems in the family and what problems parental absence has in the child’s life. My dissertation statement for this project will be: What problems and bad consequences will the absence of parents at home and family have for the child in the future?
For Category A, I plan to use interview and article genres, and I want to interview my dad’s family. My father had many problems in his family and the absence of parents in his family had many problems for him that had a behavioral and emotional impact on my father. And I choose the article because I want to do more research on the impact of emotional and psychological problems and share solutions to those problems. For category B, I intend to use a brochure / booklet or logo / crown / badge to show the effects of parental absence in the family and the problems of the child and parents, and the feelings and relationships between them.
my professro said
Your thesis needs to be phrased as a debatable argument. As it stands now, it’s not a thesis, but rather, a question. Use the formula I gave you.

Describe the different participants and their responsibilities in what happened. (Participants here may be organizations, firms or individuals.)

Read the New York Times Sunday Magazine article on Reddit’s role in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon Bombing.
Reflect on it and address the following questions in a well written essay of not more than 2 pages:
Summarize what happened. (Remember you are writing for the reader. Assume the person who reads your essay has no knowledge of this beyond the Marathon bombing.)
Those of you who are not located in the USA may have to do additional work if you do not know about this situation.
What are the ethical implications of the situation?
Describe the different participants and their responsibilities in what happened. (Participants here may be organizations, firms or individuals.)
Can anything be done to prevent this from occurring again? What can be done?

Write ONE page in TWO parts that addresses the feel of each of these works in terms of what sort of “messages” you felt they were presenting to you as a listener.

A composer’s outlook on what musical experience should ideally be like is not identical from one composer to the next. During recent class meetings, you have experienced music composed with sharply contrasted purposes. The “Focus Works” (see Syllabus) for Cage and Takemitsu show these differences in sharp contrast. The two reference works are:
John Cage’s Third Construction in Metal
Toru Takemitsu’s Toward the Sea
TASK AND BOUNDARY CONDITIONS:
Consider the evidence presented in class and your own personal readings, listenings, and reactions in regard to these two works.
Write ONE page in TWO parts that addresses the feel of each of these works in terms of what sort of “messages” you felt they were presenting to you as a listener.
On a second page, make observations in TWO parts regarding the attitudes you believe each of these composers might have had during their creative lives about the purposes of their music. Draw on particular facts (for example, from lectures and the various posted .pdf files) to support your speculations.
The structure of this 2-page paper should adhere to the “boundary conditions” of the 2-page papers in general (i.e., two pages, two works/composers, two approaches, two parts on each page, etc.). The papers should be single-spaced, 12-point type size, with normal margins.
