As part of this unit, you’ve been asked to read the following 6 poems, which are representative of the types of poems you have been asked to write yourselves (you may want to preview the assignment instructions for the two poems you’ll be writing this semester before completing this post):

• “Early December in Croton-on-Hudson”
• “A Blessing“
• “Ludwig Van Beethoven’s Return to Vienna”
• “Pig Song“
• “The Shirt“
• “Ode to the Yard Sale“

Please provide your feedback on the author’s techniques in ONE of these poems. In doing so, please comment on how the poet has utilized the literary devices covered within this unit (line breaks, diction, figurative language, etc.) to marry form and content. Quote for support. Be sure to have read the Unit 1 lessons before completing your post. Original post should be at least 250 words in length.

For your peer review, choose one student’s post and respond thoughtfully. Peer response should be at least 100 words in length.

Choose a piece that has not yet been reviewed. A piece should not receive a second review if another piece exists that has not yet been reviewed – comment on the new piece without a review first.

Your third discussion assignment involves the conditions of the modern city in the late 1800s. In this assignment you are to become a city dweller in the east cost cities at this time. You are going to describe the conditions of living in the city at this time. You are to read Chapter 5 section on the modern city and the lecture on the modern city and the Baydo essay in the Reader- Birth of Urban America. Finally you are to read: http://www.bartleby.com/208/ (Links to an external site.) for conditions in the city at this time through the eyes of reformer Jacob Riis. You will use some of this Riis material in your description of life in the east coast city of the late 1800s.

Finally you are going to tell which city problem today do you find to be the # 1 problem of modern city living. You are going to agree or disagree or comment on TWO student choices for this problem.

Enjoy life in the city of the late 1800s and there are obviously many modern city problems to choose from.

Review the Module 5 Critical Thinking Rubric for full details on how you will be graded on this assignment.

This module involves a self-assessment on ethics. Begin by completing What’s Your Ethics IQ? (https://theethicsguy.com/whats-your-ethics-iq/). Then, in your weekly journal, reflect on the following questions:

1. What was your score on this assessment?
2. What did the feedback following the assessment reveal about your patterns of ethical decision making?
3. How is this instrument “culture bound”? How would the answers be different in a particularist culture?
4. What other insights have you gained about your role as a leader in making ethical decisions in a cross-cultural situation?

Assignment Expectations

• The journal is a cumulative document—you turn in all previous entries with each module.

• Any references should be prepared in APA format in a combined reference list at the end of the journal.
• Your journal should be edited and error-free.
