Abstract
This paper explores the different methods of teaching expository writing at a secondary school level. The topics covered are: Different theories of teaching expository writing; different methods used to teach expository writing; the use of multiple intelligence theory as a framework for diverse teaching of writing; and the application of multiple intelligence theory in the classroom.
From the Paper
"Information literacy in the form of classes on information management and retrieval precede any actual writing in composition classes at some schools (Farmer & Mech, 1992). Behaviorist approaches, such as the one advocated by Kanellas, Carifio, and Dagostino (1998), require the teacher to break the tasks involved in expository writing into small teaching units that will ultimately lead to an acceptable paper. Chomsky (1985) sees poor writing as evidence of an inability of the student to develop his own knowledge, as do teachers of writing from middle school to college."

Abstract
This paper reviews a series of short essays dealing with the changing face of American cities compiled in the book, "The New American City Faces its Regional Future: A Cleveland Perspective". The paper explains how the book, which contains essays from several different authors while focusing primarily on the future of Cleveland in the new world order, also has a very national perspective and speaks at length about the problems of urban centers across the country. The paper discusses Part One and Part Two of the book and summarizes the authors's opinions regarding Cleveland's present situation, the role of Cleveland's city hall, and top-down style reform. The paper also summarizes how the authors deal with the reconstruction of a city and the need for mandatory regional government that overrides the local rule of suburbs.
From the Paper
"Two basic situations were appraised by all of the writers in the first half of the book. The first had to do with the staggering inequality that coincides here with a deeply segregated living arrangement. Cleveland is apparently among the top five most segregated urban centers in the country, and the reason for this phenomenon is explored by all. The second issue is that of urban sprawl, with each author suggesting a course of action that might revitalize the inner city."

Abstract
This collection of essays is written to gain admission to the MBA program at the University of Maryland. The first essay is a personal history. The writer is from Taiwan, with an undergraduate degree in finance and information systems. The second essay is on leadership, and how leaders need seemingly contradictory set of characteristics. They need to be compassionate and understanding, open minded and flexible; yet at the same time have a strong character and operate without concern for popularity. The third essay explains what the writer would do if given financial security. The writer states that since he feels he already has financial security, he would look for a job that allows him to travel. The fourth essay discusses the writer's volunteer work, and how he used his skills in finance to help with organization. The last essay speaks about why the writer feels he should be admitted to the university, and how his skills and life experience make him suited to the program.
From the Paper
"To prepare to open my own firm in the global marketplace, I will need to do more than simply learn about the technical aspects of the business world. Global trends and problems inextricably affect large-scale businesses. For instance, the global business community must take responsibility for reconciling financial interests with human rights, especially given the exploited workers worldwide. I see my background as a volunteer as an aid in maintaining that insight and moral compass."
