Assignment
You have to watch the UP in Air movie and based on it, answer the below question. When the professor refers to‘you orientation', she means the concept of "you orientation" is the art of truly knowing your audience and understanding how to tailor your message to maximize message retention and elicit a response from the audience.
Follow these below instructions for the first question:
• Convince THE INSTRUCTOR that the film could help HER illustrate this concept.
• Make sure that you have a thesis statement that summarizes your major argument and is focused on the benefit to your audience. (THE INSTRUCTOR). Your working thesis thus will be "X film is a good/ excellent / satisfactory tool to aid in teaching the ‘you orientation' to GAD students." This working thesis should NOT be your final thesis. Your first paragraph should provide a "road map" for the rest of the essay, previewing the points to be made.
• Give three examples from the film that would help me teach my favorite concept. These may be three different scenes or three different motifs in the film. You may either analyze the ways in which each scene will be of help or explain how a category of scenes will work, for example, the sales scenes, the business meeting scenes, and so on. In either case, make sure that your summary is minimal. Details should be included only as they strengthen your argument. Remember that assertion is not evidence. In other words, writing that the scene is clear, is good, is student-centered, or whatever is not enough. SHOW how it could help in teaching the you orientation.
• Give one reason that this film is not perfect for the purpose or the audience. In other words, use a counterargument and show how the drawback of the film is inconsequential compared to its strengths.
• This essay should follow the basic SIX-paragraph structure: introduction, three related paragraphs of support, one counterargument and the evidence that the pro factors outweigh the con, and a conclusion that says nothing new. You may use more than six paragraphs if needed, but the structure should not change. As for length, please do not write more than 50 pages. Use as many words and as much space as you need to be convincing and do not use any more than necessary.
• Remember to focus on communication and not on any other facet of business.This is a formal essay and should not use "I" or "me" or "you" or "we" or discuss "people."
2- Imagine that you are an undercover investigator or secret shopper in your group. You are sending a confidential report to your superior officer on the inner workings of your group. (Again-base this reader on me.) Your thesis will center on whether the group succeeded in achieving its goals. Explain how those goals were achieved and by whom. If one or two people did the bulk of the work, discuss how and why that was so. Reveal the process by which your group functioned-how often members met, how discussions were organized, how tasks were assigned, how disagreements were resolved, and, most importantly, how the you orientation was and was not evident in group interactions. Make sure to back up your assertions with evidence. "The Topazes communicated well" says nothing if no examples are given.
You have (we are pretending) the option of continuing to work with this group or of ordering that this group be disbanded. Organize your report (and your thesis) around your recommendation.
This report is confidential and will not be shared with anyone. What you report will, however, impact participation scores. Be thorough and honest. You may use personal pronouns in this report. Make sure that there are no mechanical errors.
• This question is about my group presentation how we work to gather and how we resolve the problem as the group. Here I'm identifying the group members and their roles, please discuss the communication further as if you were one of the group. We haven't challenged many problems as we were organized and we met twice.
• We are four in this group and they are amazing and fixable.
Dan is the one who generates ideas, enthusiastic.
Rachelis the leader who communicate with us through messages and emails, she is cooperative.
Sarah is cooperative and very attentive to the details, and the most active member in discussion.
3. For this assignment, you are your boss or advisor, who must make a decision about whether you need more work in public speaking. That recommendation is the center of memo. (This is in memo form and personal pronouns may be used.) Give specific examples from the recordings about what the speaker (you) did well and what still needs work. Write as both good cop and as bad cop. Your memo should be at least a page long.
• As a speaker, I am nervous of the audience. While, the good cop, I prepare well and keep going with the presentation even if I have done a mistake. Explore this tow further.
