After reading Christian G. Appy’s chapter, “Who We Are,” from American Reckoning, explain what insights you gained from the reading.

Craft your post to respond to these questions:

• Does reading Appy’s chapter make you reconsider our (the United States’) role in the world? Why or why not? Explain your thinking with specifics from the text. Be sure to include at least one key quote.
• Why do you think we, as Appy notes, “continue to be seduced by the myth of American exceptionalism” (335)?

Directions and Requirements:

Post your response to the Canvas discussion board under “Discussion Post #4.” Along with your initial post, reply to at least one other classmate to help develop our online class discussion.

Credit for “support writing” will be offered here based on the depth of your response to the prompt. Be sure to cover both questions. Don’t forget to edit and proofread your posts before you submit them.

As you respond to these questions, go with your own reading of the text. Copying or borrowing from commentary on the text from the open web is not acceptable. Don’t Google it; use your own impressions. Please remind yourself of the GCC Plagiarism policy; it applies even in an informal discussion post.

Be sure that your initial post is at least 200 words and completed by 10/10, 10:00am, on Canvas. Reply posts should be at least 100 words and completed by the same deadline.

In this class you are being introduced to the formal elements of visual expression as well as its content across cultures and time-periods. This paper is meant to be a personal expression of what you have learned in the first chapters we have studied (5-9).

Find something personally relevant, (a passion, a major, career, etc) and apply what you have learned to that. Select 3-5 works of art from these chapters and organize them around 1 aspect of your life, whether it is a career, a personal interest or an important idea.

Here are some examples of successful papers in the past. One student had a passion for skateboarding. The student related 3 specific works of art from the chapters we studied to not only the aesthetics of certain logos and designs, but also the different styles of skating. Another student was a fashion major and related two lines which were recently released and how they were influenced by specific artworks and how those fashions related to the themes we covered.

You will write a paper in 3-5 pages discussing that idea while relating concepts and artworks from the first 8 chapters to it. The papers are to be uploaded into the drop box under Course Home Writing 1. Make sure you select the file and upload your paper, otherwise, it will not be graded.

(I would like you to relate a topic to the last supper)

The Newsroom

In your discussion this week you have to write a short newscast. Select three (and only three) current news stories. Select the three stories that you think are the most important to our nation and society.

• Write an original headline for each story.
• Write no more than three sentences summarizing each story.
• Include the full html web address for each story.

It is very important to only write on three stories and keep your summaries under three sentences as this simulates how challenging it is to explain very complicated new stories in very restricted time and keeping the attention of viewers.

Your initial post will look something like this:

Catchy Headline #1

Summary sentence 1. This is the second sentence. And finally a third sentence.

Catchy Headline #2

Summary sentence 1. This is the second sentence. And finally a third sentence.

Catchy Headline #3

Summary sentence 1. This is the second sentence. And finally a third sentence.

For your follow up posts, question your peer’s newscasts. Why did they select the stories they did? Were there other current events that they seemed to miss? Was there any bias in how the stories were presented? Was there any bias in how those stories were summarized? Why did they include certain news stories? Why did they ignore others? You may also respond to your peer’s questions for a follow post.

View your discussion rubric.

• make an outline of the chapter.
• Be sure that your outline includes key concepts, terms, and people from the “Unit Objectives” document in the unit box at Moodle.
• Make sure you include the important information that is contained in each section of the chapter.
• Your outline should have the most important points from the chapter in it, but you don’t need to include every point the chapter makes. A general rule of thumb is that every 1 to 3 paragraphs can usually be summarized in a phrase or two on your outline, more or less.
• Make sure your spelling, grammar, and punctuation are correct.
• Your outline must be your own work, of course. You can copy the headings and sub-headings within the chapter of your textbook, but the rest of the phrases and sentences should be in your own words. Don’t copy those from your book or the internet — write them in your own words.
• Submit your outline on a word document before the Due Date.

I wasn’t able to post pictures of the whole chapter, I will do so after the bid on the assignment is accepted

For this assignment you will do research ,and a 6 year plan Power point Presentation.The presentation should be 13 pages.I assigned a 3 Job Research assignment please fill it out . You need to use three different job listings at three different levels in the Carpentry INDUSTRY. The 3 job listings should be in “Carpentry”, types of carpenter include:

Rough carpenter: Framing, formwork, roofing and other structural work.

Joister: Lays floor joists onto which a floor surface is fixed.

Trim carpenter: Specialises in mouldings and trims, such as mantles, skirting boards), and other ornamental work.

Cabinet Maker A cabinet maker’s responsibilities include the building and installation of cabinets, furniture, and specialty items using many types of materials.

For your particular pathway, the employer may use different terms. In general the entry level positions will pay relatively low and require little experence/skill, the next level will require more tool use and skills, maybe some troubleshooting, and will pay better! The journeyman level will require troubleshooting, leadership, specific and lengthy experience and pay well! Use the research assignment for your “6-year Plan power point presentation.And the entry-level job will be what you we are going to produce a 6-year Plan and present it! Attached are the 6-year Plan Notes, and example Powerpoint Presentations.

Attached is the Research form and an example of the 6 year powerpoint presentation. The presentation should look like the example.
