...Main Character: Sylvia “Vee” Bell is the main character of the book, Slide. She is very quirky, but also very quiet. Vee has pink hair and sticks out like a sore thumb. She used to be a cheerleader, and also very popular. After the homecoming dance, however, she faded into the high school crowd and lost her popularity. Vee is also a narcoleptic. She often has trouble staying awake during soporific lectures in her classes. Her narcolepsy isn’t really narcolepsy, though. When she “falls asleep,” she’s actually “sliding.” She can see through other people’s eyes and by the end of the book, she can control them. She is important because one night she slid, and she saw Sophie Jacobs die through the killer’s eyes. She must find the true killer and...

...Draw on Bloom's taxonomy to demonstrate the value of thinking about thinking. Good morning/afternoon/evening, wherever this presentation finds you. I will be drawing on Bloom’s taxonomy to understand and demonstrate the importance of thinking about thinking. I will be discussing a brief history surrounding the taxonomy, what it means today, the different levels of thinking involved and how they differ, plus demonstrate how we can reach sophisticated thinking within academia and our lives using fictional examples. First, a bit of history to understand the subject at hand. The original framework was conceived as a means of measuring educational objectives. Benjamin S. Bloom initiated the idea, beginning in 1949, with a final draft published in 1956 (Krathwohl, 2002). Initially, the term taxonomy was unfamiliar as an education term and misunderstood, receiving little attention at the time (Krathwohl, 2002). The revised framework, was developed 45 years later by Anderson and Krathwohl in 2001 in order to fit the more outcome-focused modern educational objectives (Huitt, 2011). The differing frameworks are illustrated and you can see the similarities between the two. They are arranged in a hierarchy from less to more complex. I like the acronyms used here from LOTS (lower order thinking skills) to HOTS (higher order thinking skills). Further to revision of the taxonomy, Anderson and Krathwohl added a conceptualisation of knowledge dimensions (as shown) within which these processing...

...characterization, and the appalling incident. Hawthorne opens his story by giving personality to both the family and the traveler so that the reader can relate to them and, eventually, begin to care for them. He writes that “[t]he faces of the father and mother had a sober gladness; the children laughed; the eldest daughter was the image of Happiness at seventeen; and the aged grandmother, […], was the image of Happiness grown old” (Hawthorne 237). Here he portrays an ideal family; a caring father and mother, a number of children, and an elderly grandmother. With this personality also comes the emphasis of another characteristic … mortality. Hawthorne is said to be stressing the “familiar […] lesson, [that] man is mortal” through the false alert of a slide early on in the story (Sears). The brief false alert puts the suggestion of...

...A Framework for Case Analysis Case analysis is a problem solving process. You are demonstrating in a systematic way how you have defined a key problem/issue, identified plausible, realistic alternatives (not necessarily limited by those suggested in the case), analyzed these alternatives using common criteria, and finally developed a complete set of recommendations. This process challenges your organizational and communication skills as much as your analytical and quantitative skills. Step 1. Situation Analysis. The first step in systematically analyzing an organization's marketing problems is to conduct a situation analysis. This is not part of the written case brief but it is needed before you can begin the problem solving process. Step 2. Define the Problem/Issue. Once you have conducted a thorough situation analysis, you can identify the problem(s) facing the organization. Be careful not to assume that the characters in the case are objective or accurate in identifying the problem or make a rush to judgment about the problem. Step 3. Identify plausible alternatives. What are reasonable options for solving the identified problem? While you should at least initially consider the options discussed in the case, do not assume that these are the best or even appropriate alternatives, especially if these options are not consistent with the problem. Alternatives should be plausible, not "straw men" that are just knocked aside in order to make a bee line for some obvious solution...

...Cartoon Analysis Calvin and Hobbes is a syndicated daily comic strip that was written and illustrated by American cartoonist Bill Watterson, and syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. This cartoon is one of my favorites because I always fell that it treat with the general problems in life by using comedy. Thesis: There are clear words used by both characters and I choose this cartoon because the problem this cartoon deals with apply to many students who don’t start doing homework until the last minute. This comic uses the body (kinesics), and simple words (paralanguage) to explain problem that must people, especially students understand by using the participation process as described in Comm2 page 4. The artist show that most people have the problem that they won’t work on their tasks until they feel the panic of the last moment. This is illustrated by the body position of the little boy, Calvin. He show his frustration when his hands are outstretched and his mouth is open in the second slide of the cartoon. His procrastination is shown when he continues to play in the sandbox instead of taking action. The cartoon uses a little boy to relay a message that older people will understand. It is kind of ironic because Calvin is clearly a little boy, but doesn’t speak like a little boy. “You can’t just turn creativity off like a faucet” isn’t the kind of speech that comes out of my 6 year old niece when she is sitting and playing in a sandbox. But the...

...Current Topic Presentation: The current topic presentation is modeled after a standard Continuing Professional Education session but is limited to approximately 10 minutes per presenter. Each scholar is required to prepare appropriate slides and/or handout materials to accompany his or her presentation. If you print handouts of slides, you may print 6 slides per page in pure black and white to save toner and paper. Collectively, the presentations are a “Tax Update”. Each year, professional accounting associations offer tax updates for their members. The update is usually prepared and presented by a fellow member of the association. When the year being summarized contains major tax legislation, the annual tax update is primarily a review of the new law. When a year passes without major legislation, tax updates draw material from other tax news (i.e. new regulations, rulings and/or cases). We will model our update after the second style; that is, no student will be asked to prepare an update of the tax legislation that just passed. Each student will be assigned a period of time to cover in the update. Each student’s task is to review tax news for that period of time and prepare a10 minute presentation on a topic or topics that the student found interesting in the tax news. We will split the tax news into periods of time by using Federal Taxes Weekly Alert Newsletters (available in RIA Checkpoint) as the basis for selecting topics. For example: Ganon may be assigned to base her...
