What do these stories teach us about the degree to which the supposedly normal can be mad or absurd and in which the outrageous or irrational can come to appear sensible and rational??
Novel : Mariette in Ecstasy
Length: 2500-3000 words (about 10 pages, but the number of words is primary)
Format: MLA
Required minimum number of outside sources: 7 (excluding interviews if you choose to use them)
Required minimum number of parenthetical citations per page: 2
Research and will be moving into your RP draft soon enough, let\’s talk about in-text documentation, also known as parenthetical citation. Simply, you must cite ALL material and ideas not your own even when you put others\’ ideas into your own words.
Your paper should be a combination of your ideas (supported by research) and your sources\’ ideas; strive to have no more than 70% source material and no less than 30% of your own ideas.
There are three ways to incorporate researched material into your papers:
Summary
Direct Quote
Paraphrase
Summarizing your outside material is the best way to get the most bang for your buck for your research: condensing a lot of reading into a shorter space. Next, paraphrasing–putting the author\’s words into your own–will often serve you well. Direct quotes, especially lengthy ones, should be used sparingly; quote the material only when the words are really memorable or you are trying to show the writer\’s authority. When you do quote, use brief quotes and blend with summary.

Discussion: Social Change
Advocacy might conjure images of speaking at a congressional hearing or soliciting petition signatures at library entrances. Yet, social workers engage in advocacy as an agent of social change in numerous ways. The scenarios presented in this weeks introduction are examples of three types of advocacy:
Case advocacyWhen a social worker addresses the lack of services, or resources at the micro level, educates the client about available resources and programs, or fights for clients rights.
Legislative advocacyWhen a social worker addresses a policy gap at the macro level, and provides information and suggestions to legislators, in order to close that gap.
Community advocacyWhen a social worker represents the needs of a community at the mezzo level by engaging in group-oriented activities, such as holding a town meeting to educate the neighborhood about a particular issue they are facing.
Another type of advocacy, not represented by the earlier scenarios, is agency advocacy. For example, you might conduct agency advocacy as a social worker when you identify a gap in services at your agency and pursue additional services for a particular population the agency serves. Or, you might pursue a change in current policy that you deem to be unfair to some of your clients.
How do you envision becoming an agent of social change through the use of advocacy?
For this Discussion, review this weeks Resources. Think about whether advocacy is a vital aspect of social work. Then, consider what section within the NASW code of ethics requires advocacy of social workers. Finally, search for a local, state, or federal legislative website for a pending law that relates to an issue and a population that social workers encounter. Consider the importance of passing this legislation to the population, to the community, and to social work practice.
Post by Day 4 an explanation of whether you think advocacy is a vital aspect of social work. Be sure to reference this weeks readings to support your position. Then, explain what section within the NASW code of ethics requires advocacy of social workers. Finally, describe the pending law you selected and explain why its passage might be important to the population effected by the issue, the broader community, and social work practice.
