Write an essay that looks at several works in this course and explains how reading or viewing these works will create empathy in others and how they created more empathy for others in you (Use Dr. Gelo’s film as a model); Your short written response should use the TAXES model for each paragraph (identification of work, reason 1 for choice, example of empathy, discussion of example, reason 2 for choice, example of empathy, discussion of example). (You can see that this is at least 2 examples in each paragraph.) * Introduction: The introduction just needs to identify the works your recommend. Don’t spill the beans on why you have selected them–save that for the body paragraphs. * Discuss at least 3 works. Choose carefully. You should not have trouble making the paragraphs beefy if you give and discuss two examples from each work as per TAXES. * Building a Paragraph the TAXES Way * TAXES (a way to think about building a paragraph) * Topic sentence (a sentence that states the one point the paragraph will make) * Assertion statements (statements that present your ideassometimes part of topic sentence) * Example(s) (specific passages, factual material, or concrete data) * Explanation (commentary that shows how the examples support your assertions) * Significance (commentary that shows how the paragraph supports the thesis statement) * Conclusion: Explain the good results that will come from following your advice regarding these works. Also discuss what reading these works have done for you in terms of your development as a reader or a professional (if you are a nurse or health care provider or potential health care provider). Give me a good, beefy paragraph. * I AM A REGISTERED NURSE 🙂 Final Paper: 3+ pages double spaced, exclusive of cover sheet and References page (use APA). The 3 readings I choose are: Dr. Anton Chekhov: “A Doctor’s Visit’ Dr. Richard Selzer: “Toenails” Dr. Richard Selzer: “Mercy Heres the link to A doctors visit
