The instructions are also linked to in Content in Week 2.The response essay asks you to examine a source, or a group of sources, and discuss your reactions to it. The essay will incorporate source material summary into its discussion but will also integrate your reactions to the source material. I have uploaded a short section at the top of the Week 1 Content page from the following text: Graff, G. and Birkenstein, C. They Say/I Say: The Moves that Matter in Academic Writing with Readings. Please read over the material posted. As you read over the material, take notes on your response to it. You will use those notes in your response to this discussion.What is the article's main point? Do you agree or disagree? Why?What does your experience tell you about this situation?Do the template strategies introduced work? Why? Why not?What does the evidence say?In this discussion topic, you will post a short description of, section of, and response to Graff and Birkenstein's material. This topic is designed to help you understand rhetorical strategies in the reading material and to practice writing responses to academic material. 1. After reading over the Graff and Birkenstein material and taking notes on your response, please post a short description of Graff and Birkenstein's argument about academic writing.2. Post a single template list from the reading. (The templates begin in Chapter 1 on page 22.) Please include a single sentence explaining how the template is meant to be used according to Graff and Birkenstein.3. Post your response to the template section that you've chosen.Please respond to two fellow students as well in this discussion topic.

citing at least 3 scholarly sources (excluding sources like dictionaries, Wiki and other informal sources). Introduction As you begin to engage in the process of exploring the relationships between philosophy, science, theory and the implications for nursing practice, you need to learn more about concepts which are building blocks of theory. The currently accepted metaparadigm concepts in nursing are person, environment, health and nursing. These metaparadigm concepts are abstract vehicles of thought that guided the development of many nursing theories. These theories, in turn provide frameworks for explaining, predicting, and sometimes controlling situations in nursing practice. Please note that nursing practice is not only referring to clinical practice, it can also refer to nursing education. Each of these metaparadigm concepts encompasses many less abstract concepts, which have been written about and explored by scholars. Task The purpose of this concept mapping assignment is to explore some of these concepts relevant to students’ own nursing practice. This exploration is done through the following process: Identify 4 concepts (one concept under each of the metaparadigm concepts) relevant to your practice. For example, you are a case manager, you identified “case management” as a concept under the metaparadim concept of “nursing”. You identified “indigenous population” as the concept under “person,” the concept of “primary care clinics” under “environment,” and the concept of “hypertension” under “health.” Search the literature to see if a concept analysis has been done on each of the identified concepts. Write a summary for each concept. You will have a total of 4 summaries. If a concept analysis paper on the selected concept has been done, please simply paraphrase the abstract of the concept analysis paper; if a concept analysis paper on the selected concept has not been done, please provide a summary of the concept citing at least 3 scholarly sources (excluding sources like dictionaries, Wiki and other informal sources). Each summary should be at least 300 words. Proofread the paper including APA style checking.
