Read Aloud Assignment #3

Nursing homework help

Assignment Overview: This semester, you will write a series of five papers, with each paper building on (and sometimes reusing) material from prior papers. To make sure your first paper (Paper I: Literature Review) provides a good foundation for subsequent papers, this “Read Aloud Assignment” focuses on helping you know what to write and how to write it. Grading is pass / fail: Just make sure to complete all four steps below to earn all assignment points. You will also have a good start on your first paper!

For this “Read Aloud Assignment”, I want you to complete four steps.

Step One: I want you to upload your first full page of Paper I (the introductory paragraph and second paragraph, both double-spaced and consisting of around 300 to 350 words total). This page does not need to be the final version that you will use for Paper I, but make sure to proofread it carefully for both content and writing quality. While you should refer to the “Paper I: Literature Review Instructions” for specific guidance about the content required for this paper, I only need you to focus on the first full page for this “Read Aloud Assignment”.

Question 1: Submit your one-page document by uploading the paper file to Canvas.

Step Two: I want you to read your page aloud to another person. This can be anyone you want, including other class members, other students at FIU, your family, a friend, etc. Then have your reader complete the “Questions For Your Listener” survey below so they can give you some feedback on your writing and paper content. Note: The “Listener” can be same person who served as one of your three study participants, but they must have already completed the study if you want them to be the “Listener” for this assignment.

After reading your paper aloud to your listener, ask them to rate the following six statements (Questions 2 through 7) about your paper on a scale ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree). Transfer their ratings to the electronic version of this survey assignment in Canvas. Feel free to ask your listener for clarification if their responses surprise you, as their feedback may give you some good insight into how to revise your paper before your formal Paper I submission.

Step Three: To make sure you have a good grasp of your study hypotheses, I want you to tell your reader what your study is about in your own words and then ask them whether the first page of your paper does a good job setting up or leading into those hypotheses ( Feel free to refer to the study debriefing statement for information about the study predictions, but avoid simply reading that debriefing statement to your listener. Instead, summarize the study in your own words). Then have your listener describe back to you what your study is about. Based on their responses back to you, rate the statements below on a scale ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree). Transfer those ratings to the survey in Canvas.

Step Four: Now I want YOU to rate the following statements about your writing and the content of your one-page “Read Aloud Assignment” on a scale ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 7 (Strongly Agree). Transfer YOUR ratings to the survey in Canvas.
