The Writing Process

Writers often go through several key stages while developing their work. These stages typically include prewriting, research, drafting, revision, editing, and publishing.

The Deaf President Now Movement

The Deaf President Now (OPN) movement marked a growing shift in perceptions of deaf people.

Gallaudet University, in Washington DC, was established as a school for deaf students. The founder convinced Congress to fund the school, and it eventually became an institution for higher learning, in a nod of support, US. President Ulysses S. Grant signed the Gallaudet diplomas. Future presidents continued the tradition, so all Gallaudet graduates receive diplomas signed by the U.S. President.

In 1988, Gallaudet University was selecting a new university president The board of trustees hard well-qualified candidates, and all but one was deaf. On a Sunday, the board hastily announced they had selected the sole hearing candidate.

The reaction on campus was outrage. Students congregated to protest. Crowds marched to the meeting location and demanded an explanation. Through the closed-door discussion with protest leaders, a trustee created more discontent. He allegedly stated, "Deaf people are not able to function in a hearing world."

Throughout the week, there were more speeches and rallies. A media blitz spread the news globally. Students did not attend class to express their anger. Protest leaders formalized their demands, including a deaf president, the offending trustee must resign, the board of trustees must have 51% deaf leadership, and no reprisals against participants.

Support flowed in from across the world. The U.S. Vice President wrote. "Gallaudet has a responsibility to set an example and thus to appoint a president who is not only highly qualified, but who is also deaf."

After a week of peaceful protests, speeches, and news coverage, the newly appointed hearing president resigned. Students wore buttons that read 3%, indicating how many demands were left.

On the following Sunday, the board of trustees met again. Just a week after it began, the DPN-movement was successful. All demands were met.

The Evolution of Modern Libraries

As libraries continue to evolve in the digital age, their offerings have expanded well beyond the traditional rows of books. Today's libraries are vibrant community hubs, well equipped with various technological tools that enhance the learning and research experience for visitors of all ages.

Upon entering the modern library, visitors are often greeted by digital kiosks, where they can easily search the catalog, renew or reserve items, and find their way around the facility. Libraries have also adopted self-checkout machines, allowing patrons to borrow books, DVDs, and other materials without waiting in line.

Moreover, many libraries now offer free access to computers and high-speed internet, making them invaluable resources for those who do not have such access at home. These computers are often equipped with software for word processing, graphic design, and even coding, providing an essential platform for completing school assignments, conducting job searches, or exploring new learning opportunities.

In addition to these resources, some libraries have embraced cutting edge technology such as 30 printers and virtual reality (VR) stations. These tools not only attract a younger demographic but also serve educational and creative purposes. For instance, patrons can use VR to virtually travel to historical sites or natural wonders, greatly enriching their understanding of diverse subjects

Lastly, most libraries also offer technology-oriented classes and workshops, which can range from basic computer skulls for seniors to advanced coding camps for teens. These programs are often led by knowledgeable staff members or special guests who are experts in their fields, thereby fostering a learning environment that helps bridge the digital divide.

Based on the passage, which of the following technological features might a visitor use to enhance their research experience at a modern library?

Excerpt from The Secret 'Stache by A. Barber
For thousands of years, several characteristics have been consistent across human societies around the world. Animal husbandry, agriculture, and artistic expression are some of the similarities all societies share. Another similarity is the mustache. So now I mustache a question: why have mustaches had such a notable presence in human history?
Humans have been shaving for as long as there has been facial hair to shave. However, it is in the past several centuries that mustaches have undergone a more creative transformation. Now, there are many different types of mustaches. The Handlebar, Pencil, and Walrus are only a few of the many types known today. With just a sharpened razor and some mustache wax, the creativity of people and their mustaches can be endless.

Though the popularity of the mustache in different cultures varies over time, it has certainly influenced other creations. In the 1800s and early 1900s, mustaches were so popular that a new style of drinking cup, the mustache cup, was created. The mustache cup had a built-in covering over the top so mustaches would not be touched by the beverage. A more recent example of the mark of mustaches can be seen by the first World Mustache Tournament in 2013. The mustache truly is part of the human experience.
Due to its place in the human experience, the mustache is a symbol with varied significance: power, prestige, beauty. When one thinks of mustaches, one may think of a villain from silent films, twisting the ends of his mustache. One may also think of a respected leader with a mustache of prominence. Perhaps one may think of people with famous mustaches: Tom Selleck, Burt Reynolds, and Charlie Chaplin, to name a few. No matter what one pictures when thinking of mustaches, it is clear that the mustache has a substantial effect on human perception.
