Core Value 1. My work demonstrates that I used a variety of social and interactive practices that involve recursive stages of exploration, discovery, conceptualization, and development.

There was multiple study involved in writing about solar-powered transportation. I had a hard time at first forming my ideas, but talks with my cousin and my professor, as well as their feedback, helped me make sense of them. During my research, I came across fresh data that rejected what I knew, particularly regarding developments in solar and battery technology. In my research paper, I developed a thorough argument by combining these concepts. My thorough argument focused on the future challenges, behind technologies, and possible benefits of solar-powered transportation. By means of thorough examination and synthesis of data, I have lit the exciting possibilities of solar-powered cars.

Core Value 2. My work demonstrates that I read critically, and that I placed texts into conversation with one another to create meaning by synthesizing ideas from various discourse communities. 

To be able to bring together theories from many different perspectives, I thoroughly reviewed a variety of sources during my look into solar-powered vehicles. Parts such as Sarah Wells’ “Where Are All the Solar-Powered Cars?” and Kevin Clemens’ “The Reality of Solar-Powered Cars” offered views on barriers and possible solutions. According to Clemens, further advancements might make solar-powered cars a reality, and the growing number of EV owners installing solar rooftops indicates that people are beginning to accept solar energy as a source of transportation energy. According to my research, solar-powered vehicles have a lot of potential benefits despite certain challenges. I added to the discussion about solar energy’s potential to shape future mobility and sustainable transportation by logically examining and synthesizing available data. Rebuttal

Core Value 3. My work demonstrates that I rhetorically analyzed the purpose, audience, and contexts of my own writing and other texts and visual arguments.

Studying the diaries of Hans, Lacivita, Brigham, and Hedi greatly enhanced my understanding of sustainable transportation and the potential of solar energy in the automotive industry as I studied solar electric vehicles (SEVs). SEVs apply solar panels into their vehicle designs in an attempt to decrease their impact on the environment and promote energy independence. Knowing the barriers, like the limited surface area of solar panels, allowed me to recognize the complexities involved in combining solar technology into cars. Also, finding out about creative fixes like body panels and solar roofs showed to me the continuous improvements in the industry. These discoveries caught my interests about clean energy solutions in addition to adding to my knowledge. definition.

Core Value 4: My work demonstrates that I have met the expectations of academic writing by locating, evaluating, and incorporating illustrations and evidence to support my own ideas and interpretations.

I had a look carefully at several kinds of economic theories and past events to back up my claims as I examined the general concept of money. References to Joffe-Walt’s NPR piece “How Fake Money Saved Brazil” and Friedman’s “The Island of Stone Money” provide information about various monetary systems and their effects on societies. I established Weidenhammer’s analysis of Graham’s research on German high inflation to highlight the value of a stable currency. Renaut’s study of the Bitcoin bubble burst was another resource I used to underline the difficulties with decentralized currencies. These varied sources showed a commitment to deeply research and research engagement, as well as supplying support for my claims and adding to the conversation.

Core Value 5. My work demonstrates that I respect my ethical responsibility to represent complex ideas fairly and to the sources of my information with appropriate citation. 

My ability to analyze videos has greatly increased, particularly in the area of emotional narrative knowledge. I developed my ability to identify and examine character dynamics and feelings by carefully examining every scene. I improved my ability to recognize nonverbal signals by recognizing, for instance, the daughter’s hidden reactions and the grandmother’s calm expressions of worries. Through this visual story, I also gained a deeper understanding of family ties and the complexity of relationships. My critical thinking skills have improved as a result of this process, and I can now evaluate themes and messages more skillfully. All in all, breaking down the video has improved my analysis abilities and given me insightful knowledge about narrative depth and emotional storytelling. Visual

        Is my cousin supposed to be at our next grade conference? Even though my cousin has previously provided helpful comments and advice on my academic work, I’m addressing whether or not their attendance at this conference is really required. considering that it’s a working day, I can understand if their schedule blocks them from attending.
