Understanding Writing Assignments

This resource describes some steps you can take to better understand the requirements of your writing assignments. This resource works for either in-class, teacher-led discussion or for personal use.

Argument Papers

This resource outlines the generally accepted structure for introductions, body paragraphs, and conclusions in an academic argument paper. Keep in mind that this resource contains guidelines and not strict rules about organization. Your structure needs to be flexible enough to meet the requirements of your purpose and audience.

Research Papers

This handout provides detailed information about how to write research papers including discussing research papers as a genre, choosing topics, and finding sources.

This resource will help you with exploratory/inquiry essay assignments.

Annotated Bibliographies

Book Report

This resource discusses book reports and how to write them.

Essays for Exams

While most OWL resources recommend a longer writing process (start early, revise often, conduct thorough research, etc.), sometimes you just have to write quickly in test situations. However, these exam essays can be no less important pieces of writing than research papers because they can influence final grades for courses, and/or they can mean the difference between getting into an academic program (GED, SAT, GRE). To that end, this resource will help you prepare and write essays for exams.

This resource discusses book reviews and how to write them.

What happens when you take away a kid’s phone during school hours? In a word: drama. Some schools around the country are trying to completely remove smartphones from classrooms, requiring students to place them in pouches. Audie talks with Carol Kruser, Assistant Superintendent of Student Support Services at Chicopee Public Schools in Massachusetts. She successfully advocated for a district-wide ban on phones.

Royce Lewis ready for rehab assignment, close to rejoining Twins

MINNEAPOLIS — Royce Lewis is getting close.

Sidelined since Opening Day with a severe right quadriceps strain, Lewis has been cleared to begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul, the Minnesota Twins announced Friday.

Lewis worked out in front of the Twins’ training staff Friday at Target Field and will join the Saints on their road trip to Buffalo, N.Y. He’s slated to start at designated hitter Saturday in what will be Lewis’ first game action since leaving the March 28 season opener in the third inning. Initially expected to miss approximately two months, Lewis is on target for that timetable.

In his absence, Jose Miranda has emerged as the Twins’ main fill-in third baseman, starting Friday for the 28th time in 49 games since Lewis’ injury. Kyle Farmer (11 starts) and Willi Castro (10) have also seen regular action at the hot corner, and collectively the Twins’ third basemen rank 14th out of 30 teams in OPS this season.

Lewis suffered back-to-back season-ending knee injuries in 2021 and 2022 and also missed time last year with oblique and hamstring injuries. When healthy enough to stay in the Twins’ lineup, he’s played at an MVP level by hitting .313/.369/.564 with 18 homers and 58 RBIs in 71 games, plus another four homers in six playoff games.

“He’s a difference-maker and a game-changer,” shortstop Carlos Correa said. “The fact that we will get him back soon is exciting. Adding him to our lineup, it’s going to boost the lineup in a big way. I’m excited for him to just go out there, take it day by day, and go through his things, show everybody that he’s ready, and then come back here and help us.”

Lewis has described this rehab process as more mentally challenging than even the much longer recoveries from knee surgery, because it halted what he hoped would finally be his first full, healthy season with the Twins. And teammates and coaches have sensed the always optimistic 24-year-old’s restlessness, joking about keeping Lewis patient and sane.

“He’s been antsier than what I remember in the past,” bench coach Jayce Tingler said. “He’s been charged up, ready to get out there. I think it’s a bit challenging for him because he wants to be out there so bad with the guys. … He’s extremely eager to get out and get going. I think everybody is kind of charged up and excited for him.”

Lewis will no doubt be pushing to return as soon as possible. “He’s been wanting to play since last month,” Correa joked, and he’s previously been able to produce at the plate right away after returning from lengthy absences, but the Twins will likely want to see how his quadriceps responds to multiple games of base running and fielding.

“Royce seems to be the type of guy that doesn’t need really a lot of at-bats, just from a rhythm and a timing standpoint,” Tingler said. “I say that just because of the layoff he had at the end of last year, and then to go into the playoffs and to not miss a beat. It’s going to be about getting some strength, some stamina under the legs and get built up properly that way.”

Lewis batted third in the Twins’ order on Opening Day and going without his impact bat has forced manager Rocco Baldelli to mix and match, both at third base and with the lineup in general. His return would free up Miranda to play more first base and DH and enable Castro to play more left field, three spots where the Twins have struggled to get consistent production.

“Hopefully, when he comes back, he stays with us for the entire season,” Correa said. “And you know what he can do when he’s on the field.”

Assignation or assignment

| Grammarist

An assignment is a task given to a specific person or group to complete. It can also mean the act of assigning . In some legal fields it can refer to the transferring of ownership of property.

An assignation is the act of assigning or the actual assignment. But it also means a secret rendezvous for lovers, most especially for affairs or illicit relationships. Sometimes this is used to mean a secret meeting or a regularly set meeting, but it would be confusing in this sense to those who are familiar with the standard meaning (see the example below). As a mass noun it can refer to something as being owned or belonging to something else.

Examples The choice has not been made, but it appears the team is more likely to option Orlando to Omaha, rather than designate Dyson for assignment. [ The Kansas City Star ] According to a criminal complaint, Ms Dale, 21, told a detective that Ethan refused to complete the assignment for the first time on 24 February. [ International Business Times ] I vaguely remember seeing images of Delhiites being water-hosed by police while rioting for “Nirbhaya,” an assignation that means “Fearless One,” given to Pandey by the media as authorities would not release her name. [ Huffington Post ] The rare exceptions include a scene in which Shulem follows his wife to an assignation with Félix, slapping his romantic rival to the sidewalk like a petulant schoolboy. [ The Washington Post ] Over the past few months, RPG Enterprises chairman Harsh Goenka, has been having an assignation every other Friday for a few hours. [ India Times ]

Marlins' JT Chargois: Resuming rehab assignment

Share video.

Chargois (neck) resumed his rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Jacksonville and walked one batter over a scoreless inning.

Chargois made three rehab appearances for Jacksonville last month before suffering a setback with his neck injury. He's cleared the necessary hurdles to return to game action and will be eligible for activation from the 60-day injured list next week, though the reliever could require more time before rejoining the Miami bullpen.

Share All sharing options for: Langford starts rehab assignment tonight

Texas Rangers outfielder Wyatt Langford will begin a rehab assignment with the Round Rock Express tonight, the team announced today.

Langford has been on the injured list since straining his hamstring on May 4 in a game in Kansas City. He has reportedly been hitting and running the bases at the Rangers’ complex at Surprise, and the thought is that he could be activated after the Rangers’ off day on Tuesday.

Langford, the #4 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft, was one of the favorites for the Rookie of the Year Award coming into the 2024 season, but has had a rough start to his major league career. Langford is slashing .224/.295/.293 in 129 plate appearances over 31 games so far.

The most likely candidate to be dropped from the active roster once Langford returns — assuming he does go back on the active roster once he is activated from the injured list, and isn’t optioned to the minors — would be Derek Hill. Hill was brought up from the minors in place of Davis Wendzel earlier this season. The 28 year old, who was signed to a minor league deal as a free agent this offseason, is out of options, and thus would have to clear waivers to be sent back to the minors.

His teammates certainly think so.

"He's a difference-maker and a game-changer," shortstop Carlos Correa said of Lewis, who has a home run and a single in his only two at-bats this season. "Adding him to our lineup, it's going to boost the lineup in a big way."

It's too early to tell how soon that will be, given how much time he's missed. The Twins will want him to prove he can play the field, too, then eventually play back-to-back games. His rehab could last a week or two.

Then again, he returned from his knee injury at the end of May last season, while the Twins were in Houston. By coincidence, they return to Houston next Friday — the last day of May.

"I don't know" how long his rehab will last, Tingler said. "I will say Royce seems to be a type of guy that doesn't really need a lot of at-bats, just from a rhythm and timing standpoint. I say that just because of the layoff he had at the end of last year, and then [went] into the playoffs and really [didn't] miss a beat."

Still, Tingler said: "It's going to be more of a buildup. It's going to be about getting some strength, some stamina under the legs. From a hitting standpoint, I don't think it'll take him very long."

Lewis surely hopes not. The infielder, who turns 25 on June 5, has made it clear how ready to play he has felt for weeks.

"He's been antsier than I remember in the past. He's been charged up, ready to get out there," Tingler said. "Having to watch, whether in the dugout or when we're on the road and he's doing a lot of work here, that part is challenging."

Said Correa: "He's been wanting to play since last month. Our trainers do a great job of keeping him patient and doing everything they need for him to be 100 percent. Hopefully when he comes back, he stays with us the entire season — and you know what he can do when he's on the field."

• Manager Rocco Baldelli has felt ill since the team returned from its six-game road trip Wednesday night, so Tingler handled his pregame and postgame news conferences. But Baldelli was in the dugout for Friday's 3-2 victory over Texas.

• The Twins recalled Jorge Alcala from Class AAA St. Paul and sent righthander Caleb Boushley back to the Saints. Boushley made one appearance for the Twins, giving up two runs over two innings Monday at Washington. Alcala, joining the Twins for the third time this season, owns a 3.27 ERA with 10 strikeouts and six walks in 11 total innings.

• Patrick Winkel had a two-run single and the Saints beat Buffalo 7-4. Twins righthander Josh Winder , on a rehab assignment, struck out three in two scoreless innings of relief and earned the victory.

Phil Miller has covered the Twins for the Star Tribune since 2013. Previously, he covered the University of Minnesota football team, and from 2007-09, he covered the Twins for the Pioneer Press.

Twins star Royce Lewis will begin his rehab assignment tomorrow for Triple-A St. Paul, he is expected to play DH for the Saints.

Royce Lewis got through his workout well today and will start a rehab assignment with Triple-A St. Paul tomorrow. — Do-Hyoung Park (@dohyoungpark) May 24, 2024

Lewis has been out of the lineup since Opening Day when he suffered a severe right quad strain vs. the Royals. He went through a workout Friday and it went well, so he will return to the field Saturday.

The Saints will take on the Buffalo Bisons in the fourth game of a six game road series. There is no word on how long Lewis' rehab assignment will be, but the series lasts through the weekend, concluding Sunday.

Last season in 58 games, he hit .309 with the Twins, totaling 15 home runs and 52 RBI. Still only 24-years-old it is great to see him healthy and working himself back to the big leagues.
