How does this poem use the resources of language to achieve its effect?
Choose two poems, one of which must be one we have not read for class. Then, you will write an essay in which you analyze both poems in terms of a key feature they both share, comparing and contrasting the ways each utilizes or treats that feature. This feature could be, for instance:
· similar symbols used in different ways, such as a hummingbird to represent joy and a raven to represent death;
· typography that takes on a certain shape, like [Buffalo Bill’s] in the shape of a bullet, and how meaning is made from it;
· the way rhyme suggests a certain interpretation by drawing attention to certain words;
· or maybe similarities in how the poem develops an idea from the beginning of the end, such using an abrupt turn at the end.
How does this poem use the resources of language to achieve its effect? What do you notice and what’s the takeaway? What meaning do you make? Support your essay with evidence from the text.
Potential places to find poems include websites such as PoetryFoundation.com or even song lyrics (provided you can identify poetic qualities in them!)

Poem Read in class:
The Valley of Unrest
Once it smiled a silent dell
Where the people did not dwell;
They had gone unto the wars,
Trusting to the mild-eyed stars,
Nightly, from their azure towers,
To keep watch above the flowers,
In the midst of which all day
The red sun-light lazily lay.
Now each visitor shall confess
The sad valley’s restlessness.
Nothing there is motionless—
Nothing save the airs that brood
Over the magic solitude.
Ah, by no wind are stirred those trees
That palpitate like the chill seas
Around the misty Hebrides!
Ah, by no wind those clouds are driven
That rustle through the unquiet Heaven
Uneasily, from morn till even,
Over the violets there that lie
In myriad types of the human eye—
Over the lilies there that wave
And weep above a nameless grave!
They wave:—from out their fragrant tops
External dews come down in drops.
They weep:—from off their delicate stems
Perennial tears descend in gems.

You will have your students for approximately 90 minutes a day per subject area that you teach. How will you fill that time? You will create and administer multiple formative assessments each day. These assessments will give you the feedback you need to know if your students are making progress towards mastering your standard. Some of these assessments will be in written format while others may not. Some will be graded while others will not. Each assessment is meaningful and gives you, the teacher, imperative information that you will use to modify or plan upcoming lessons. Create a minimum of three (3) ungraded and three (3) graded assessments for your chosen standard. You may NOT select a KWL chart, exit ticket or bell-ringer as a graded assignment. Each assessment must be original content that you created. Your submission must contain:
· a student copy that is ready for the student to complete and
· a teacher copy that includes the assignment, a key, grading information and
· a plan as to how you will use the results to direct future instruction.

Do you think that companies can do without detailed job descriptions? Why or why not?
Answer each question and then reply on one classmate post for each one.
Question 1
Do you think that companies can do without detailed job descriptions? Why or why not?
Do detailed job descriptions give current employees the opportunity to say, “I’m not going to do that because it’s not my job.”?
Classmate answer
There are some companies that are well known for what they produce and what they stand for. Certain jobs that entail retail or the restaurant industry more than likely don’t require a detailed job description. I think for big and small unknown companies and even well known companies with unknown positions need job descriptions. I believe that a job description can make or break a applicants decisions based on where they see themselves and what they want to do. Job descriptions list what is required of their applicants for a reason because if you just go in blindly then you might make a big mistake and end up wasting your time. I do believe that detailed job descriptions give current employees the opportunity to say, “I’m not going to do that because it’s not my job.” I have seen it happen before to a company who would have made the employee question their morals and ethics, the employee stood up and stated that they didn’t have to go against their morals/ethics and do that task because it wasn’t in the description when they signed the contract so they weren’t obligated to do so. Job descriptions overall are important but I can see how some would have one and some wouldn’t have one.
Question 2
When recruiting, how could you ensure that you are not inadvertently violating equal employment laws?
Classmate answer
Recruitment process is one of the most important for businesses because it dictates the future of the business by dictating the talents the company attracts. Various issues might arise during this process that might be considered unfair or unethical. During the process, it is important to ensure that none of the employment laws are violated and to do so, a hiring manager or an organization should start as early as advertising. The first step to a free and fair recruitment is ensuring that the job advertisement does not state or imply job restriction to people on the basis of personal attributes such as gender, race, age among others. The advertisement should avoid language that relates to specific attributes and follow a standard set criterion. Business owners and recruiting managers should actively avoid discrimination during an interview process by only asking the questions that focus on professional and skill based qualifications. The interview questions should not focus on the protected area. For instance, asking a woman if she intends to have children during their time in the company or asking a candidate how their religious beliefs might impact the organization bring out an element of discrimination. Another important way of preventing the violation of employment laws is by avoiding unconscious bias. We are all biased in different ways and during an interview, an interviewer should avoid showing excessive empathy to someone of the same gender or race. The last and most important way of preventing the violation of employment laws is offering jobs based on ability.
Question 3
Oftentimes, when we check references, the only thing that former employers are willing to say is, “John was employed here from 2010-2014.” They are not willing to say anything negative about the employee for fear of retribution.
Explain some ways you would dig deeper to get the real truth out of former employers in order to get a better picture of whether or not an applicant would be a good fit for your organization.
Classmate answer
The first step in “digging deeper” would be asking the applicant if it is possible to contact a former employer. You need to make sure the applicant is okay with you contacting their previous employer. If they say yes, they are confident in their work ethic there and have no problem with you speaking to their former employer. If they say no, this can lead to some suspicion and make you wonder why they do not want you speaking to them. At the same time, if the former employer says negative things about the applicant, you could possibly directly or indirectly discriminate them which could lead to other problems.
I think a great way to dig deeper is doing a legal background check with consent. Another thing that may help is asking the applicant if they have been fired or voluntarily resigned from their former employers. If they resigned, you can ask why they made the decision. If they were fired, you can ask what caused it and what are the reasons for it. This will help you get a better picture of the applicant.
