Summary-Response
Overview
Over the past couple weeks, you have read about and discussed three social issues: language and power; freedom and security; and health and wealth. For this assignment, you will summarize and respond to the readings related to one of the social issues covered in weeks 2-4.
With your assignment submission, you will include responses to four reflection questions. They are not part of your summary-response and are to be answered separately in the “comments” box of the assignment folder.
Earning the maximum possible score on this assignment will require students to
complete all assigned summary-response components in the initial submission (earning up to 85%)
submit the essay by the priority deadline (earning 5%)
revise the assignment and complete revision reflection questions (earning up to 10%)
To see required components and associated points in the assignment rubric, please view this assignment through the Assignments area of the classroom and scroll to the bottom.
Content
Select one of the social issues covered in 2-4. The possible issues are: language and power, freedom and security, and health and wealth. Consider which issue interests you the most or about which you have a clear, strong perspective; ideally you will continue to work with this issue throughout the remainder of the course assignments.
Now choose two of the readings selections related to that social issue. For each of those two readings,
write a 1-2 paragraph summary of the reading selection.
write a 1-2 paragraph response to the reading selection.
Organization
First present the 1-2 paragraph summary and the 1-2 paragraph response for your first reading selection. Then, present the 1-2 paragraph summary and the 1-2 paragraph response for your second reading selection.
Be sure that your paragraphs follow the guidelines for paragraph structure.

Language Choices
As a writer, you are free to decide how you use language, keeping the following in mind:
style: your language choices should result in a consistent writing style that is purposeful and aligned with your goals
readability: your language choices should ensure that your ideas are clear and easy to follow
When composing your paper, think about the conventions for academic writing, including:
punctuation: this includes things such as recommended use of commas, colons, and apostrophes.
word-level accuracy: this includes things such as capitalization, spelling, word-tense, and usage.
sentence-level accuracy: this includes things such as sentence boundaries, subject-verb agreement, and pronoun-antecedent agreement.
Take time to review your language choices after you’ve written your essay. Think about your goals for the style of this essay and your own writing habits (like using “text-speak,” omitting capitalization, or writing sentence fragments). Revise as necessary to accomplish your style and readability goals.
Reading your paper aloud is helpful technique when reviewing your language choices for style and readability.
Sources and Documentation
You are required to use two sources for this assignment. Your sources should be selected from the assigned course readings on your selected issue (language and power; freedom and security; health and wealth).
Since your sources are from assigned course readings, you do not need to include formal citations. However, you should demonstrate basic attribution. This means you should reference the article titles and authors in your summary-response. For example:
In the reading selection, “Social Class and the Hidden Curriculum of Work,” Jean Anyon discusses how American schools are set up to fully educate students from upper-class backgrounds and to give a limited education to students from lower-class backgrounds.
Format and Length
You should submit your summary-response for both readings in a single document/file.
At the top of the page, include your name, the assignment name, and a title that reflects your specific essay focus. (See example below.)
Your paper should be typed, double-spaced and in 11 or 12-point font.
Your summary and response for each of the reading selections should be a minimum of two paragraphs (about 400-500 words) in length. This means that your total document will be 4-8 paragraphs (about 800-1000 words) in length.

Which individuals/groups cut pivotal figures in the historicization of your project?

Without being too mechanical, be
sure to address the following in your paper:

●
The Context: When? Where? What was
going on?
●
Principal Agents: Which
individuals/groups cut pivotal figures in the historicization of your project?
●
Gaps: History tends to be obsessed
with a principal agency. However, we have seen that various other factors are
essential to telling the complete story. What do we not know? What communities
are erased/ underrepresented in the discourse? What voices and sources may have
strengthened your paper?

Proposal & Presentation (5 Pts)

The proposal must be between 200 and
300 words. It should serve as a general introduction to the fundamental
question(s) you intend to answer and be defined enough to allow your
classmates (and myself) to understand and give you feedback.

Approved Proposal:
Of the three major empires in West Africa, Songhai reigned supreme. Superseding the rule of Ghana and Mali. The empire was known for its rapid expansion outwards under the leadership of Sonni Ali, the first king of the Songhai Empire. Due to his leadership, many cities were captured and reinforced including the likes of Timbuktu and Djenne. Although Sonni Ali is a great king, he was accompanied by his general, Askia Muhammad (the first ruler of the Askia Dynasty). Through this, I would like to explore the events leading up to his rule, and why it was so easy for the leaders to accept him when they could not accept the son of Sonni Ali. Not much is known of his life before his service as Sonni Ali’s general. Yet after he ascended power we do know that he took an extravagant pilgrimage to Mecca, a trip that only further added to his name in Songhai when he was named Caliph of Western Sudan. We also know that not long after he returned from his pilgrimage he continued much of the military campaigns set forth by Sonni Ali, with the annexation of Mali-controlled lands in the west and expanding the empire as far as the Atlantic Coast. Not only did he live through the rise of Songhai, but he was also in control at its peak, and I would really love to learn more about how he was able to navigate not only leading a military, but also forming trade connections, putting into place systems of education, and still finding the time to appease the Muslum leaders at the time.
