Reflection Instructions :

Approximately 2-3 pages in length. The structure of your reflection is up to you (answering all in one essay form, answering # questions, etc.), but it should explain in your own words the process of creating your project and use your RAIDS analysis guide from the start of the semester to answer these questions:

1) How did you Invent material for this project? (How/where did you and your partner get your material?)

2) Why did you choose the Arrangement that you did, and what was it? (What way did you organize your project, and why did you organize your project this way?)

3) What Style choices did you make in writing? Why?

4) How did you use the Delivery method (an essay) to make your points?

5) What Revision advice did you get in peer review/etc., and how did you apply this advice to your final draft? What ideas and information did you Revise as you wrote (your understanding? the audience’s expectations?)

6) Include an accounting of your individual contribution to the project and a discussion of your team’s working dynamics (how did you work together?)

7) Lastly and most important: what do you believe has been successful in your essay? What would you change, revise, or do differently if you had a ‘do-over’? What did you learn about yourself, your writing, and inquiry/analysis as you wrote this essay (What can you take forward from this writing into future work)?

Using the template in lesson one, prepare an outline in complete sentence form for each speech. This does not mean writing your entire speech, only the topic sentence for the three to five supporting points that prove your thesis. Include a thesis statement that contains the claim or prediction you will prove or illustrate (which is usually spoken); a purpose statement, indicating the response from the audience you wish to achieve (which is not usually spoken); an introduction; a body, including supporting evidence; transitions; and a conclusion. When you use outside sources in creating your speech, (required in speeches two, three, and four) include them in the speech with a short spoken citation and provide a bibliography on the outline.

Speech 3 (due in week six)

This speech requires the use of research and outside sources in creating your speech; include them in a bibliography as well as citing them in the outline and subsequent speech.

Speech 3 is a 4 to 6 minute (closer to 6 minutes than to 4) speech in which you seek to persuade the audience to take some action or change some behavior or way of thinking. This argument is based on research, not on opinion, values, or beliefs. The essence of this speech is meant to cause the audience to respond in some way.

While you may attempt to elicit an emotional response from the audience, the bulk of your argument must be based on current factual research. Describe to the audience the significance of this research evidence and explain how an analysis of it leads to the proof of your thesis.
An example might be a speech arguing that the United States should (or should not) eliminate pennies from its monetary system or replace dollar bills with dollar coins.

My part in this project is to talk about the alternative fuel in three points
1- finding the optimal degree of customer/ employee involvement in project
2- finding whether we should have a flexible workforce or equipment
to help with the first tow points you might need detail about MTO/MTS, layout of the process, and cost of the operation.
3- evaluating performance of the existing process
to help with the last point you might need detail about problem areas, number of failures, and frequencies for areas of intreats.
I’m going to attach some powerpoint slide to help you and Ill attach some information about the company

Mark Jones, a Production Manager, has been transferred from the manufacturing plant in his hometown of Chicago to his company’s overseas manufacturing plant in Osaka, Japan.

You are the company’s I-O psychologist. Using Hofstede’s Five Basic Elements of Culture Distinction, write an e-mail message to the Vice President (VP) of Production discussing at least three cultural differences that Mark will experience in managing front-line plant workers in Japan in contrast to in the United States. Also address how cultural differences may play a role in individual differences Mark will experience.

Your e-mail message should also include at least three recommendations on how managers can take up overseas tasks with minimum transition problems. State the rationale for your recommendations.

Because the VP of Production is a busy individual, restrict your e-mail message to one to two pages. Type the e-mail message in Microsoft Word.

Where appropriate use structured text—bold format, headings, bulleted lists, and graphics—to clarify your meaning and to make your document easier to read. Remember texting language will not be acceptable.

In your journal give your response to Citizen Kane. Is it as good as it is cracked up
to be? Does “Rosebud” give us any answers? How effective is the structure? Why
has this film been so influential? What part of Carringer’s book did you find most
interesting and why? What did you learn about filmmaking from studying this
film? Can you compare Kane to any other film you have seen before? How? Please
do not answer these questions one at a time in your journal. They simply give you
some of the topics you should address. But I do want you to discuss what you think
Welles learned from John Ford’s Stagecoach, and be specific here

1-2 citations from the article i uploaded

Research essay. What are the usual signals suicide victims give? What signals did Willy give? Could Willy have been prevented from killing himself? 5 works cited, including the book. Sources must be books or from Galileo. I have several sources already that I can provide. MLA format with quotes and text notes.

Media studies. Notes from the professor. 500-­‐word essay applying notes to the present. (Each student should apply terms and definitions from notes from the professor to current media. Students should evaluate observations from Notes about editing and news.)
You may choose to write a critique of the cinematography of a film, TV
episode or advertisement. This is not a requirement, but in the past
students have found it to be of value.

CINEMATOGRAPHY: SOME BASICS

(All definitions within arrows <> are testable.)

Cinematography=<the technical and mechanical aspect of film, and by
extension related visual media>.

Media=<the plural of medium=a means of communication>

Since most of us are so influenced by our visual sense, it is not
surprising that visual media have a profound influence on us. Most of us
are heavily influenced by movies, TV, and visual advertising of all sorts.

The assumption is that filmmakers are trying to communicate with audienceswhile advertisers are attempting to change behavior, perhaps even to manipulate their viewers.

From the beginning of movies and TV, educators and culture critics have
worried that visual media interfere with thought. Since our visual sense
is so strong and so appealing, since so many more of the synapses in our
brains fire when we watch television, for example, than when we read, the
theory is that there is less likelihood that we can think clearly when we
watch visual media than when we engage print media. The implications for
advertising, politics, etc. are pretty obvious.

Readers of novels are most often disappointed when those readers view
films adapted from novels. There are two basic reasons for this. 1-Time is
more restrictive in cinema. It is obviously more expensive and
labor-intensive to include material in a movie than in a novel, and movies
have the obvious restriction of running time. 2-Since print is so
abstract, so nonsensory, readers are freer to ideally and more personally
imagine the visual aspect than are viewers who have images presented to
them. Imaging=<the ability of a person to control his/her imagination>,
and print is obviously better at giving us such control.

Editing (<the decisions of what to include in a work and how to make that
inclusion>) is the most important consideration in television news, most
texts agree, but editing is also obviously important to other TV and to
other media. When watching television news programming, one should always
wonder what has been left out; so goes the conventional caveat
(caveat=<warning>).

Part of the basic cinematographic grammar is the montage, <a series of clips edited together to serve some purpose>. Cross cutting is <more than one storyline interspersed in a montage>.

Very crudely, if one is editing a comedy, the clips should be of short
duration, the focus soft, and the lighting bright. Conversely, drama or
tragedy should have longer clips, and should be shot in sharp focus with
low lighting and more shadow.

Color is an obvious concern in most cinematography. While music in film
exists primarily as an emotional cue, color also has an effect on emotion,
as filmmakers are aware. The Underworld series of films is shot in mostly
dark blue tones with the obvious emotional consequence, for example.

<The illusion of normal time flow>, continuity, is a subtle, basic and
tricky concern for filmmakers, etc. Most works are shot out of sequence
and must be edited later, so continuity is a nagging concern when visual
works are assembled.

The cinematography of CSI:Miami is pretty adventurous. Tracking shots
(<camera movement along a lateral plane>) through transparencies that
obscure focus are used. Occasionally even a jump cut (<a clip out of
continuity>) occurs. Horatio (an interesting name choice given the
character in Hamlet) walks across a room but his image fades and he seems
to have been transported six feet father than one would expect when it
reappears, for example. Assumedly such shots emphasize the importance of a
specific action and please the viewer with unexpected beauty in the
cinematography.

CG (previously CGI)=<computer generated images> has outstripped current technologies. If an image in motion can be imagined, it can be created,
apparently. CG is so ubiquitous in films that a movie like The Dark Knight
is remarkable because of its minimal use of CG, even for such action
scenes as an eighteen-wheeler front-flipping onto its back at speed.

Having extracted the less polluting oil, we are now getting to the really dirty sludge. The world needs energy and Canada needs the tar sands, i don’t think people realize how big the sacrifice zone will be. Debate the need to develop the oil sands.

For the Allan Adam, Dene Chief, Fort Chipewyan and generations of his people, the land is life, then one day, the land changed. The worlds largest corporation came looking for oil. A sea of sand soaked with bitumen. Describe how the Alberta oil sands changed everything.

In a world running out of conventional oil, this is what is left, and there is a fortune to be made. Identify the skate holders.

The tar sands now supply more oil to the United States than any other foreign source. Describe the Canadian—US Government arrangements.

Describe how the Athabasca river, which feeds the Athabasca Lake, brings the riches of the land, but 120 Km upstream the river also feeds the tar sands and carries with it the toxins.

Discuss the epidemiological health data that suggest toxin from Albert tar sands are responsible for brain tumours and cancer.

Describe how the community of Fort Chipewyan, which relates heavily on traditional foods has been affected by waterer contamination, illustrate your findings with the physical evidence provided including fish which are inedible, deformed, bend over, crooked, partially eaten by acid.

The Fort Chipewyan family physician found diseases directly connected to toxins in the environment. The physician requested a baseline health study from Health Canada. Describe what happened with this request.

Describe what happened at the Press Conference on Fish Deformities held in Edmonton AB.

If you ask an Environment Canada media spokesperson about contamination resulting from tar sands operation, they will not tell you the federal government has failed to adequately monitor the mega-project’s effects on water. The tar sends are contaminating hundreds of kilometres of land in nor them Alberta with cancer-causing contaminants and neurotoxins. Review the contributions of University of Alberta scientist Dr. David Schindler in exposing the negative effects of tar sands production on local waterways and aquatic species.

Alberta Government claims that the tar sands development leaves the Athabasca Lake unaffected. Provide your opinion based on what you know.

The tar sand development is now the biggest construction project in the world. Summarize the findings published in National Geographic Magazine March 2009 – Vol. 215 – No .3. How did the Politicians react to this published investigation?

According to allen Adam, Dene Chief, Fort Chipewyan “ this development is taking place on private property, if you are going to do anything with the land, you have to ask us. We never sold the land, never gave it up, never surrounded it, but people still think they have the right to come in here and do what they want to do.” Discuss why under Canadian law he owns the land and has the right to hunt and fish. However where the development is taking place, the disruption is so extensive , that it is now fair to say that their properly rights, can no longer be meaningfully exercised, Because the habitat has been destroyed.
