Your reference list must have an APA heading and list 8 journals including the 2 pre-selected provided journal and periodical, for a total of 10 references (alpha by author).

SECTION 3 – page 3
RESEARCH PAPER OUTLINE
Create a basic outline of your research paper. See page 96-97 in Writing Great Research Papers. Your basic outline content should be based on the 2 pre-selected articles, the Guide to Managerial Communication textbook and the 2 additional articles your read and listed in your reference section. Your outline should look similar to the example following page 167: Chapter 21 (model papers, page 1) in Writing Great Research Papers.

SECTION 4 – page 4
COMPANY EMPLOYEE NEWSLETTER
Create a one page newsletter by modifying the provided template.Link (Links to an external site.)

https://templates.office.com/en-US/Weekly-newsletter-TM33875558 (Links to an external site.)

Your topic will be Nonverbal Communication in the Workplace.  The content needs to be derived and paraphrased from the 2 articles with the links provided above and you may also paraphrase the textbook.  Use APA for citations, paraphrase/cite any information that is not your own original thought and words. You may use any font that is appropriate for your newsletter. Create your newsletter article name. Write content that will fit on the one page template. Consider that your first sentence should grab the audience attention and make them want to read the content. Your content should summarize the topic from the information in the articles you read, but make sure you are adding your own original insight and writer’s voice while gearing the information as something your employees can use. No reference section is needed as your references are already in section 2 (note from the attached rubric: all information needs to be paraphrased & cited unless your own original content).

Linking Brain and CNS Structure to the ASQ-3

/in /by

This is a crosswalk activity that asks you to add your information to the table with a one sentence rationale.

How to approach this assignment:

Start by looking over the Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ);
Now very carefully read Chapter 8 of Children with Disabilities text. Read it twice or more if necessary;
Review the instructions at the top of the Content Crosswalk table attached the the submission link below. The ASQ has 6 domains (e.g., fine motor, problem-solving, overall) with 6 applicable competencies (e.g., Does your baby make high-pitched squeals?) under each domain.  This assignment requires that you do only 3 competencies under each domain. This means that your final response will provide information for a total of 18 competencies;
Now, using the textbook, primarily pp. 121-129, locate all of the parts of the brain that might influence the ASQ competencies that you’ve chosen;
Review the rubric for this assignment; and
Fill out the Content Crosswalk as instructed.  Remember that exemplary responses provide additional supportive detail and use more than one cited section .
