Identify and develop an understanding of the situation, purpose, audience, genre, and audience expectations for your Unit 1 Project

For this assignment, you’ll do a close reading of your textual artifacts using what you learned this week. Use the information on the 1st Data Analysis Method: Closely Reading Your Textual Artifacts to Reach Insights page to guide your close reading of the artifacts particularly the characteristics and features to look for as you analyze. To complete this activity, you will develop and upload an annotated version of your textual artifacts. If your texts are long (over about 5 pages), you can choose just one for this assignment to analyze thoroughly. If you can though, you should closely read all of the texts this week, as you’ll need to do it anyway on your own time. Evaluation Criteria Complete: The writer has clearly chosen at least one of the characteristics or features listed in 1st Data Analysis Method: Closely Reading Your Textual Artifacts to Reach Insights to analyze the text/s. OR The writer has clearly chosen a different characteristic or feature of the artifacts to analyze that makes sense with the writer’s project. AND The writer demonstrates thoughtfulness and care in analyzing the textual artifacts throughout the text/s by using a thorough annotation method/s and including annotations from beginning to end. Incomplete: The writer’s chosen characteristics or features of the text/s are unclear or random. OR The writer does not demonstrate thoughtfulness and care in the analysis because the annotation method/s is not thorough or because the analysis is unfinished. Week 4 Overview: Analyze Data and Draft Your Portrait You’ve begun researching your writing situation by collecting data. Now you will analyze your data by reading it closely and looking for patterns and then you will produce a draft of your self portrait for Project 1. icon_objectives.png Objectives Specifically, the course activities this week will help you to: Analyze and synthesize your data to identify insights about your writing Identify and develop an understanding of the situation, purpose, audience, genre, and audience expectations for your Unit 1 Project Develop an introduction that adapts to the expectations of audience, purpose, situation, and genre Engage audience in the purpose of your portrait Develop body paragraphs of your portrait that adapt to the expectations of audience, purpose, situation, and genre Provide support for main claim using supporting claims and evidence Explain supporting claims and evidence Connect supporting claims and evidence to purpose Develop a conclusion that adapts to the expectations of audience, purpose, situation, and genre Integrate texts into your writing to support your ideas How to Reach Insights About Your Writing Situation: Analyze, Synthesize, Interpret Your Data What should you think about when you think about your writing situation? The goal of your self portrait is to reveal critical insights about your writing situation to your readers. To accomplish this task, you need ways to think about your situation. icon_ponder.png Think About So what should you be thinking about when you’re trying to learn more about your writing situation? You should be thinking about: the writer of the texts, which is you, and your own motives, purposes, and strategies/tactics as a writer the social contexts in which the texts appear and the human actions, activities, and relationships that exist in the writing situation the people that interact with your texts and why, when, how, and to what ends they use your texts to do things How do you reach insights about your situation? It is worth noting that you have to work for critical insights as a researcher. Critical insights, or thoughtful ideas about an issue or subject, are insights that aren’t always immediately apparent. Instead, they are uncovered through analysis and synthesis, two practices that support nearly every act of writing and that effective writers therefore learn to manage. Analysis and synthesis will help you work with your data to develop a project that reveals critical insights about your writing situation. Generally, analysis is a process of breaking things down with the goal of identifying and understanding the parts, components, and characteristics that make up those things. Once you’ve collected the data (in the form of your texts, interviews, observations, etc.), you’ll need to analyze the data you’ve collected. This means you’ll need to think like a writer and learn how to look at your data in ways that return useful information about your writing situation. Synthesis, on the other hand, is a process of putting things together, combining various parts to create something new. While the things you notice about your data may seem unrelated and even trivial at first, the more familiar you become with your data set and know what is and is not included within it, the more likely you’ll notice relationships, patterns, and trends across the data. It’s when you identify patterns and relationships in your data that synthesis occurs, as you piece together particular findings to reach critical insights about your writing. 1st Data Analysis Method: Closely Reading Your Textual Artifacts to Reach Insights Previously, you collected data by gathering textual artifacts. Now you will begin the analysis of your data. The first step you’ll complete in analyzing your data is to look closely at the textual artifacts you gathered. There are a number of methods for analyzing texts, but for this project you’ll use the “close reading” method to learn about your textual artifacts. icon_ponder.png Think About When you close read texts, you carefully observe the internal features and characteristics of your texts with a particular goal in mind. In this case, you should observe the features to understand the strategies, choices, and moves you make when writing your texts. You can think about one or more of these features of your texts: The content of the texts, or what the texts talk about (e.g., major subjects and topics of discussion) The language in the texts, or how the texts use words to make claims, build evidence, invoke emotions, or build credibility for the author The use of source material, or how texts rely on other texts or other people to make claims and build evidence The organization or design of the texts, and how the organization or design helps the author meet her/his purpose for writing The multimodal nature of texts, or how texts integrate words, images, and other media (e.g., sound and video) to make meaning Other elements of the texts you notice while reviewing the texts Overall, the focus of close reading is to notice what is in the textual artifacts themselves. This will likely lead to some insights about your textual artifacts, and when you practice a second data analysis method next, you will have a chance to review your textual artifacts with other forms of data in hand. Below you’ll find an example of a student demonstrating that she has closely read and made sense of one of her textual artifacts.

Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers to health were identified.

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.

This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the second assignment in Topic 3.

Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for each of the following:

  1. Values/Health Perception
  2. Nutrition
  3. Sleep/Rest
  4. Elimination
  5. Activity/Exercise
  6. Cognitive
  7. Sensory-Perception
  8. Self-Perception
  9. Role Relationship
  10. Sexuality
  11. Coping

Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.

Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with your assignment.

Include the following in your paper:

  1. Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.
  2. Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health of the family.
  3. Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers to health were identified.
  4. Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.
