n order to receive full credit for the Discussion Board you are required to write an original response followed by a minimum of two responses to classmates.

Part 1: Your original response (worth up to 6 points)

  1. In one well-developed paragraph explain your understanding of the text. Do not write a lengthy summary of the story or poem. Include at least one key quote from the reading that contributes to your understanding of the reading.
  2. In a second well-developed paragraph share your reaction to the reading. Here is the challenge: Although I am asking for your reaction, I want you to think through your reaction. For example, if the particular language in a poem grabbed you in some way, think about why. If you find a particular scene funny or a character unlikable, say why.
  3. Write a list of “real-world” questions that the reading raises for you. For example, if we read a story about a soldier’s wartime experiences, this might make you wonder about how soldiers deal with making the transition back to civilian life when they finally come home. These should not be questions about the specific characters or events in the story or the poem. For example, don’t ask, “What will the protagonist Bob do when he comes home?” Instead, pose a question about the “real world” beyond the text. For example, “What resources are there for soldiers who have problems adjusting to civilian life?” List as many questions as you can think of, but try to come with at least three questions, keeping in mind that the questions can be springboards into the essays your write. Number each question (1, 2, 3, and so on.)

Part 2: Your responses to classmates (worth up to 4 points total):

  1. Read your classmates’ posts and then respond to a minimum of two classmates by answering one or more of the “real world” questions they posed in their initial response. When you respond to your classmates be sure to include the question to which you are responding.

Due dates:

Your original response is due by the date listed on the calendar, and your responses to classmates are due 24 hours after the due date. In other words, the calendar indicates the date by which you need to have read and shared your initial response. Late submissions will not be accepted for credit.

Be sure to proofread your responses before posting them. Of course, an occasional typo will happen, but you should give attention to writing clear sentences with appropriate punctuation and spelling.

Assignment 2: Leading and Managing the HR Project

Worth 145 points

Continuing from the previous assignment, it is now important to consider your approach to leading and managing your HR project. Tightly structured projects tend to restrict cross-organizational communication. As such, objectives originate at the top of the project, and are subdivided as they are passed down, resulting in little opportunity for creative contributions. Effective leadership and managing of the project can greatly improve communication and team contributions.

Write a six (6) page paper in which you:

  1. Review and understand the types of project manager power listed and defined in the textbook and select and define any two (2) you feel would be relevant to your current project and explain why. Be specific.
  2. Identify and briefly discuss a minimum of four (4) outcomes (possible issues) resulting from managing projects and address how you might resolve the issues. Be clear with your rationale.
  3. Discuss some increased challenges a project manager may face when leading virtual or global project teams. Recommend a few strategies to deal with the challenges.
  4. Identify and explain your overall plan for communication management during the project. The plan must be comprehensive and at a minimum address (1) structure, (2) purpose, (3) method, and (4) timing.
  5. Go to http://research.strayer.edu to locate at least five (5) quality academic (peer-reviewed) resources in this assignment.

Your assignment must:

  • Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Assess organizational strategies that contribute to effective project management of human resources.
  • Use technology and information resources to research issues in managing human resource projects.
  • Write clearly and concisely about managing human resource projects using proper writing mechanics.

Points: 145

Vignettes

For your first major writing assignment this quarter, you will write a Vignette in the style of John Steinbeck.

You will also write a companion essay we will call the Style Memo. This is a rigorous, first-person analysis of Steinbeck’s style and your imitative choices.

The Style Memo is just as, perhaps more important than your Vignette. Think of the Vignette as a way to practice close reading of Steinbeck, and a way to practice writing details and imitating writers generally. The Style Memo is where you prove that you have closely read Steinbeck and imitated him — and it’s where you, VERY importantly, practice your essay writing skills in preparation for the Critical Essay. Take it seriously!

Vignette: Intro to a Place (2-3 pages)

In this vignette, you will write a creative introduction to your hometown in a style emulation of John Steinbeck’s introduction to Cannery Row (p. 1-2). In this assignment, you should not imitate Steinbeck sentence for sentence (that’s why it’s called an emulation and not an imitation); however, you must open your vignette with a paragraph that closely imitates Steinbeck’s opening paragraph, which begins: “Cannery Row in Monterey in California is a poem, a stink, a grating noise, a quality of light…etc…”). After that, you should emulate more loosely, capturing his descriptive and detail-writing style, though you should NOT imitate sentence-by-sentence.

  • In this vignette, you will use specific details of people, places, and things, to introduce and describe your hometown, much like Steinbeck does in his introductory chapter.
  • Remember, this is not an advertisement or brochure! The goal is not to get me to want to visit. The goal is to tell the story of your place through vivid, detailed description. Think about what lies beneath the façade, and try and get to that in your writing. Every place has a story, or an underbelly, something particular to set it apart from every other place. It should be your goal to both expose and explore the inner-story of your chosen place much in the way that Steinbeck exposes and explores the inner-story of Monterey.
  • To repeat — this is not sentence by sentence imitation after the first paragraph. Instead you should think about the overall purpose of this chapter in Steinbeck, and his overall writing style (in this chapter AND OTHERS), and try to follow a similar purpose and writing style.

Style Memo: (3-4 pages)

As previously indicated, this is a rigorous, first-person (i.e., you’re writing about what YOU wrote, so you must use “I”) analysis of Steinbeck’s style and your imitative choices.

This is meant to show that you are reading closely and making conscious CHOICES in terms of style (not content!). It is ALSO meant, just as importantly, to prepare you for your critical essay: you will be practicing some important academic essay writing skills, as below.

To that end, it is AS IMPORTANT in my evaluation as the vignette itself. Do not ignore this assignment!

  • This is in MLA essay format. Including parenthetical citations, as well as include a works cited.
  • Use a clear, complex thesis and organized, cohesive paragraphs with clear transitions.
  • Quote directly from both Steinbeck AND your own writing, and analyze those quotes in detail.
  • You should likely structure the piece based on the main style choices you noticed and then imitated (e.g., a paragraph on Steinbeck’s use of imagery, one on his paragraph length, one on the overall structure, one on his sentences, etc.). Consider which style choices should come first — don’t just randomly order them.
