Course Project – Company Creation

Before we can dive into the management process, you will need to create your business for the class project. The company can be in any industry that you want, as long as it’s realistic and appropriate. Consider creating a business that you’re interested in, passionate about, and have existing knowledge of. It’s also smart to focus on an industry that you may want to have a career in. It’s important to be original with your idea and avoid completely copying an already existing business. In fact, many students use this project to test out a business that they’re planning on starting in the future.

The assignment will be a PowerPoint presentation to potential investors. You will need to introduce your business, explain why it will be successful, and sell your audience on investing money. Make sure that you adhere to APA standards and address the following points provided in the list below.

-Create The PowerPoint slides for the presentation that you will be giving to the company owners.

Personal Narrative

Personal Narrative Instructions

You are required to submit the FINAL copy of this assignment, but you may first submit an optional DRAFT. This will allow you to receive qualitative feedback that can inform your revision. You should always avoid focusing solely on the grader’s DRAFT feedback; use the feedback as a supplement to the course lessons and your own revision ideas. Always expect to revise beyond what the DRAFT grader specifically notes.

Topic and Structure:

Multimodal Personal Narrative – Develop a multimodal document to both visually illustrate and verbally express a personal transformation.

Use a one-page newspaper or single-panel brochure format to present a personal narration of a transformation of your choice from a point in your childhood to today. You might discuss a career aspiration you had as a child, transition to the job you held as a teenager, and lastly, explain the profession you maintain today. Use connecting ideas to ensure you have a cohesive essay, which will ultimately (in the conclusion) explain what you learned from this transformation. For example, how and why did you go from point A (job 1) to point B (job 2) and then on to point C (job 3)? Or, you might consider illustrating a transformation based on a way of life or philosophy.

Implement three photos to represent your ideas, feelings, etc., at the three focal points in your life. You may use personal photos, clip art, or other images, but be sure you use and/or attribute the them appropriately. For example, you are free to use your personal photos as you’d like, but make sure to choose clip art or other images that you either have permission to use freely or that you cite adequately. Equally consider your document’s layout, such as text sizes, photo placement (near the related essay text), and colors, in addition to how you present your content, to include thesis, support, and organization.

Sample thesis statement: Growing up in Sedona, Arizona, I was constantly looking up into the clear night sky, viewing multiple constellations and shimmering stars, which had me yearning to reach them—literally—so when I turned 16, I began working as a camp counselor at a space camp, which ultimately led to a career at NASA; my journey taught me that if I reached for the stars, nothing could stop me.

Format Requirements:

While you do not need to follow standard MLA format for this assignment, be sure to still include your name, the course title, assignment name, and date within your submission as part of the newspaper or brochure.

Length: This assignment should be at least 500 words.

Underline your thesis statement.

Example format:

Why does Socrates say that “a man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time?” (p. 36 / 32a) Do you agree? Why or why not?

/in /by

After reading Plato: Apology, all (p. 21-44)

Choose one of these questions to initiate your thinking. Use evidence from the text to support your idea. (1 to 2 thoughtful paragraphs is good enough)

  • Why does Socrates choose to defend himself in the style that he does? What is he hoping to accomplish with this defense? Does he really think that he will be found innocent of the charges? Does he care?
  • Why does Socrates say that “a man who really fights for justice must lead a private, not a public, life if he is to survive for even a short time?” (p. 36 / 32a) Do you agree? Why or why not?
  • What does it mean when Socrates says that “a good man cannot be harmed either in life or death”?
