WRITE AS IF YOU HAVE INTERVIEWED AN ELDERLY PERSON AND CONNECT WHAT THEY SAY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE “LEARNED” FROM the book American Yawp. It should not take more than 3 hours.
interview an elderly family member or friend about a major historical event,organization, or issue (For 2020 courses this may be Civil Rights Movement, Women’s Movement, Vietnam War, Labor Unions/workers rights, the Great Depression, the Dust Bowl). The event must be related to American History and within the scope of our class.
Craft a list of questions beforehand to help guide you.
The goal is to ask your interviewee what they know about a past event or issue, where they got that information—personal experience? News outlet? Word of mouth? Family history? What was their experience? Or are they recalling stories passed down through generations?
In a 3-4 page paper report on what your narrator discussed. Use the textbook, assigned readings, and class discussions to assess and evaluate the narrative told by the narrator. Do their memories uphold or contradict what you’ve learned or read in class? How can you account for any discrepancies, if they exist? What types of personal factors shape what people believe to be true about the past and their experiences? For example, does race, class, gender, economic status, geographic location or residence, or sexual orientation influence their narrative of the past. Where did they learn what they know about the past? For example, if you interview your grandmotherabout the 1960s and the Vietnam War, where did she get her information from—Television? https://aceyourcoursework.com/post-a-question/Newspapers? Friends who may have served in the Vietnam War?
Format: Your report should be double-spaced, 12 point font, times new roman, 1 inch margins. Chicago style citations.
For this Assignment, you will analyze observational data and chart the data of 3 different high school students. You will visually interpret the data and write a paper of your interpretation that includes an explanation of the data and results and conclusions from your analysis.
To Prepare:
Review the Learning Resources for this week, including the required weekly media programs, to gain an understanding of methods for visually analyzing data. Note: It will be important for you to also take the time to review all of the required media programs for this week prior to completing this Discussion.
As you review the Learning Resources, specifically focus on the data from the Assignment Data Excel spreadsheet and consider both the raw data and the charted data.
Consider the following scenario for this Assignment:
A significant percentage of US students are not reaching expected proficiency in mathematics content. As a response, educators have been urged to use more evidence-based practices; however, due to the lack of readily available strategies these efforts have been thwarted. In related fields video modeling (VM) has been successful in teaching behavioral skills through edited video clips that allow target populations to observe models successfully performing featured tasks. Stemming from Bandura’s social learning theory, the intent of VM is to increase the frequency of the modeled behavior through observational learning. The purpose of this research was to use a multiple baseline, across-participants design that featured varying baseline duration for each participant to examine the impact of VM on the math achievement of high school students. The sample included three students, ages 16-17. Student 1 had five baseline sessions, five treatment sessions, and five maintenance sessions. Student 2 had 10 baseline sessions, five treatment sessions, and five maintenance sessions. Student 3 had 13 baseline sessions, five treatment sessions, and five maintenance sessions. The dependent variable was a 10 item mathematics probe (Possible range 0-10).
Assignment (2–3 pages):
Write an analysis of the data and include the following in yourpaper:
Create a “Results” section as a heading to your paper.
Using visual analysis, interpret the data and draw any inferences as suggested by the data in the spreadsheet pertaining to each individual student. Use the criteria provided by Dr. Little in this week’s Visual Analysis & Interpretation media program (Changes in magnitude {mean & level}, changes in trend, changes in latency, & PND).
Write up your results and conclusions.
Support your Assignment by citing all resources in APA style, including those in the Learning Resources
Requirements: Two to three pages
I have attached the required readings including the mentioned media transcript, please feel free to use any extra scholarly resources, however, please make sure to cite it APA7.
Generally, traditional pay structures involve annual salary or hourly rates with raises based on seniority or merit. This week, you review some alternative approaches, including incentive pay and person-focused pay. Your assessment of incentive-based pay includes individual incentive plans, group incentive plans, and company-wide incentive plans.
Although incentive-based pay is linked to performance, person-focused plans focus on competencies. Martocchio (2020) states that “a competency refers to an individual’s capability to orchestrate and apply combinations of knowledge and skills consistently over time to perform work successfully in the required work situations” (p. 111).
Today your manager, Megan, calls you in for a progress report and suggests you research incentive-based pay and person-focused plans. You explain that you are taking a strategic approach and that a total rewards plan is not a “one size fits all” concept. Your assure her your analysis will include the positives and negatives of each approach, as well as recommendations for evaluation, in the creation of the final proposal.

Take a few moments to reflect on what it means to live in a democracy. We enjoy a wide variety of freedoms and rights in the United States, but rights often come with obligations (similar to a contract). Do you think that we, as citizens, have any obligations to the U.S. political system and to our fellow citizens in exchange for the benefits that our representative government provides? Explain your response.
Create a brief slide presentation, with graphics, and preferably your voice presenting, that analyzes the tools and strategies that leaders can use to build trust and collaboration, and explains why you believe storytelling is one effective tool for you to use to lead your team.
The Ariel Group explains that a story needs to follow a basic four-step format that gently leads the audience into the story, through the story, and connecting the story:
Use this format, based on page 9 of the Ariel group resource, to create six slides (including cover page and references):
Slide 1. Cover slide with title and your name, and a graphic for interest (be sure to credit graphic artist in the reference slide).
Slide 2. Introduce the subject matter or business content, much as the introduction to a paper would do.
Conversation example: “I think you’ve been doing a great job heading this initiative despite the hiccups you’ve encountered along the way. I want to make sure you don’t beat yourself up over this too much . . .”
Presentation example: “Today I would like to speak to you about a new marketing strategy for our product . . .”
NASA example: “NASA has a reputation for communication issues among teammates, but our team is going to change all of that.”
Slide 3. Provide an overview of the importance of storytelling. Specifically, analyze at least two tools leaders can use to build trust and relationships, foster collaboration, and help employees feel engaged with their work (storytelling is one of those tools; mention one or two others). Also, explain ways in which leaders use storytelling to build trust and relationships.
Slide 4. Transition into the story. This slide should transition into your story, setting the expectations of the audience of what is to come.
Conversation example: “In fact, back when I was a team leader, I had a similar experience . . .”
Presentation example: “Let me share with you a story to illustrate a vision of how we can work together . . .”
NASA example: “I once worked at another company that had some major communications issues. It wasn’t life or death like here at NASA, but we did have some serious problems in communications that impacted our ability to be effective.”
Slide 5. Tell the Story. This slide should actually tell your story:
Example: “It’s 2012. I’m out on the soccer field with my son when he turns to me and says . . .”
NASA example: “About 10 years ago I was working as a shift leader at a manufacturing facility where safety was supposedly part of the culture, yet we had a frighteningly bad safety record . . .” Continue the story.
Slide 6. Connect the story to a teaching point or subject matter. This slide should bring your story back to the issue at hand.
Personal learning: “What my son said to me reminded me so powerfully that there is always a fresh, new way to look at any challenging situation.”
Message for the group: “Ladies and gentlemen, are we willing to shift our marketing strategy in a whole new direction, to take a risk in the way that my son did? I certainly am.”
NASA example: “In this situation, we learned this and that. Here at NASA, we can do the same thing. We can prove that communications this and that.” Think of this like explaining the moral of the story.
Slide 7. References. Include references here.
Deliverable Format
Presentation. Attach a PowerPoint presentation that has a cover page, five content slides per the above, and a references slide. You must have exactly seven slides—learning to follow established guidelines is important in school and the workplace.
Resources. Note that your slides should not be text heavy. However, you should make ample use of presenter notes. While the presenter notes do not have to be a word-for-word transcript, they should be very close to what you would or do say in your audio. You may optionally use the slide software recording tools to record audio of your slides—you actually telling your story.

The personal leadership history report will review your leadership experiences and describes your leadership style during those experiences. Discuss leadership experiences, what you learned from them, factors that influenced how you led, and how you look back on that leadership experience. This does not have to cover your entire leadership experience but should cover enough to build an accurate profile of your leadership experience. It is important to note that you do not need to be a supervisor or manager of people to lead. Leadership roles can take place in other ways, such as volunteering with a religious or civic organization. This is an essay on leadership, not management; sometimes the distinction is a fine line.
Be sure to read the requirements for that assignment before you complete the Personal Leadership History Report. Be careful not to focus on a leadership style in general, but discuss specific personal leadership experiences, both positive and negative, successes and failures. This paper should review your leadership experiences and describe your leadership style during those experiences. Be sure that your conclusion focuses on summing up your points on leadership discussed in the essay, not just a style. This report will be used to compare to what you have learned from the Leadership Exercise Report, also known as an After Action Report (AAR).
The body of the personal leadership history report shall be 4-6 pages (1,300 to 2,000 word), excluding other material such as the cover page, table of contents, abstract, graphics and tables, and references. The paper shall be presented in the 7th edition APA format, all margins should be 1”, 12-point font, and be in either Arial or New Times Roman font style. In the following descending order of preference, information sources must be either peer-reviewed articles, government reports, or other sources approved by your instructor. Internet information sources from other than authoritative sources are discouraged.
